base said Where toxic waste from industrial centres have much chance of seeping into the under ground water systems in the area After some thorough checking Cume there is an alternative system that would nd the area of the unwanted dump sites According lo Currie research there is a system presently used in Germany hat is technologically ten years ahead of the system proposed for Milton The system above ground has three walls built into it to considerably cut the risk of leaks and being ground any leaks would be easier to pot she said The real bonus of the system that it can be put anywhere so instead of ringing toxic waste to Milton Cume has oposed that the dumps be located closer to Indus trial sites On federal economic policies Cume has a ideas thai she believes will considerably the unemployment situation that has Canada for the past decade The biggest problem facing the Canadian winy is unemployment and a proposal to ease import regulations is the besl way

come under the one heading of steel proposes that additional custom agents should be examining goods that come across the borders and slopping the huge of goods that otherwise could be produced in

part of their area as a village then there will be more growth in the small business sector On the national deficit Cume said she agrees with P Turner that pumping money into the economy has far more benefits that lowering the national deficit Creating jobs and instituting training and retraining is following the old and proven philosophy that it takes money to make money said Cume also pointed out lhat although the national deficit has caused the Canadian dollar to become deflated against the American dollar it Is extremely strong against all other foreign currencies She predicts the dollar will level out at cents American in the near future If you bury a large quantity of money in Acton and tell people about it there would soon be a rush to buy bulldozers and labor would be hired and it
