"We know that tiny amounts can damage the fetus in early stages," Dr. Van Marthens said. Professor Zamenoff warned all it would take would be a slight leak from a nuclear station into the cooling water, which is later used as drinking water. "Children's grades in school would be lowered and they would have lowered abilities as adults - a population of dull-witted people - which would be passed on to future generations."

Some 12 gallons a day were dumped into the source of our drinking water before Hydro shut down the leaking reactor. How many cases of cancer may be caused by this one leak? Cancer has overtaken heart disease as the number. one killer for 1978 in the city of Toronto. How many will die from cancer in Oshawa and Durham Region whose water supply may have been contaminated before shut- down. New technology in water power - self contained remote powered water generators could be used in Ontario's vast water systems along with hydrogen and other unlimited fuels, before Ontario Hydro bank- rupts the entire economy with their billion dollar blunders in nuclear planning. As shareholders in Ontario Hydro we must all speak up and halt the dangerous proliferation - that could one day kill us. Hydro in the words of Dr. Porter have shown a deplor- able lack of communication with we, the people, who are paying the higher and higher hydro bills. The final word must come from the Ontario cabinet.

People living outside municipal served local offices rare paying about 40 per cent more for the same power, as do city users, who also have seen their hydro go up to nearly double what it used to be, and still face more new increases. Each increase adds to the price of almost all consumer goods. The only answer is to write or phone your local provin- cial member of the Ontario government and say no, more nuclear expansion. Better still clip and send this article to Premier Bill Davis - the man who will make the final cabinet decision on the run- away hydro proliferation. We have 10 reactors now in Ontario and we are expor- ting $550 million of our unneeded excess hydro to the U.S. - illegal under Hydro's mandate.

Kelly, President Association of Dedicated Canadians Box 1000, Port Perry, Ont. yr, Region agrees to new day care project despite some protest Durham Region council voted last week to enter into a financial agreement with the Ajax-Pickering YMCA to ™~ provide 'day care services before and after regular school hours and on school holidays. The recommendation to council was made by the Region's Social Services Committee, and Committee chairman John DeHart told council that this is the first project of iis kind in Durham. Essentially, it will provide day care for what are known as "latch-key" children, whose parents must leave for work early in the morning and don't get home from work until well after regular school hours. Councillor DeHart said that at present, the Social Services department does not know how many children might be involved in the program, but he promised council a detailed report in about four weeks time. Under the terms of the agreement, Durham will pay the Y $5.52 per "day for children using the service before school and after, and $8.62 per day for those atten- ding full days and having lunch provided. Although council finally agreed on the recommen- dation, two councillors from municipalities in- the nor- thern part of the Region expressed mis-givings. Scugog councillor Reg Rose said he "has problems" with pilot projects for one area in Durham, when other areas presently have no Region day care facilities. Brock Township mayor Alan: McPhail wondered where the "thoney would come from in light of tight budget restrictions in 1979 that almost forced the closing of a regular.day care centre in Bowmanville. Councillor Rose, noting that the Region presently purchases day care services at a cost of about $240,000 yearly for two to four year olds, wondered whether this pilot project might expand into other areas and end up PRE-FINISHED PANELLING Culture Hickory (4x8') ...$8.35 Honey Dew (4x8') ... $7.95 Rusticana Pecan (4x8) ... $9.85 CARPETING 'Shadow Magic IN STOCK - 12" WIDTH - REGULAR $17.95 $12.35...

Councillor McPhail was especially upset over a report dated March 14 from Social Services Commission W.D. Johns to committee chairman John DeHart in which Mr. Johns outlined the possible affects on his department of budget cuts. McPhail wanted to know why the report had not been made available to council lors prior to the fina) budget meeting March 28 since the report by Mr. Johns appears to suggest that some of the financial cuts will have a serious effect on the level of service provided by the Social Services department. The report by Mr. Johns, which was included in the council agenda for the meeting of April 4, says that one $14,000 cut from Social Services budget may result in '"'a precarious position', and this account may have to be placed in a "deficit budget position." Councillor DeHart replied that he didn't bring the report forward because "nobody asked me for it."
