Everyone has now had their say as far as the proposed 407 highway as it runs through the northcrn section of the Town of Newcastle. The latest event held i Tyrone last Tuesday gave the Concerned Citizens Cornmittee their opportunity and for almost two hours they presented dieir views in a rnost orderly and controlled manner. The interest was igh witb rnany flot being able to get into the ball. Howcvcr there was no debate of their information and their view points did differ to a great degree with those which have been offered by tic Ministry of Transportation. 'Me CCC point to the destruction of some of tie best farmland in thc rnunicipality through the designation of the soutbern route. 'Me Ministry on thc other hand contends this is flot the case and that thc southern route takes less good farrnland than if the route was moved fartber north. In this instance the Ministry appears to have better docurnentcd evidence. The CCC secs little value in thc Oak Ridges Moraine even though the province has designated such as of a provincial interest. The Ministry of Transportation holds to Uis value as designated by Uic province and Uic multitude of environrnental groups as wel as recent comments by Crombie, Kanter and Scwell as heads of tree provincial studies on Uic environment. One of Uic great clinkers in Uic wbolc affair is the Regional Officiai Plan that designates growth in the Town of Newcastle wbercby Bowrnanville wiil reach a population of 95,000 in 20 ycars andi Courtice to a population of 25,000. t is expected that 407 will service a considerable portion of Uis growth as an artery to Mctro. The numbers arc statistics but tbcy have not been crascd or adjusted and any debate on Uic need of Uic highway is always aced wiUi Uis prediction. t is interceing Uiat Uic Town of Newcastle council of last year gave their starnp of approval to Uic Regional Official plan wbich carnies Uic grcat numbers of growUi. The members of Town council on Monday keep running into Uic numbers on most questions being asked especially as to Uic need of the highway. Town counicil has pushed itsclf into a cor'ner and no one else helped them do so. Those that remain on council from last year should remind Uerselves that Uicy mutilaued their staff proposai Uiat had asked for cuts in growth prediction and Uiey themselves addcd land after lands for residential devcloprnent. It is ratier bard to understand Uiat counicil seems somcwhat shocked over Uic fact of growUi in population wben at Uic present time Uiey bave. close to 15,000 rcsidcntial lots alrcady processed or bing processcd. With 2.7 people per housing unit that makes for a population of 40,500 and we have heard planning state it is an eight to ten year supply. It appears Uic bubble can burst very casily. One would have to believe Uiat if in Uic past and in Uic future council wcnt for broke - no more dcvelopment - Uic Ministry rnay sec no nccd for Uic proposed 407. It is unimaginable Uiat wiil happen for a few glad band-shakes by developers and off we go again. If you cat your cake you have to pay for it somewhere, sornetime.

Following Uic announcements the hyrnn, "Corne Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love" was sung. Mrs. Pogue told Uic children's story, 'she told of Jesus going into the Synagogue, (Uiechcurch) how he told Uiem Uiat Hie had been sent to bning release to, Uic oppressed, te beal the sick, Uic blind. To bring tbern hope. She then asked the children if tbey had heard of the Olyrnpics, and went on to tell Uiern of Uic young Cantadian skiicr who had Uic bad fait and wbo was so badly injured.
