Home of Halton Hills Page Wcdncday July is70 A Division of Canadian Company Limited 101 Main St South Georgetown I Ontario Publisher Mil I St con J Mill Number Feds should immediately The federal government should ban 1 5 litre soft dnnk bottles Immediately before even one more person is seriously injured by an exploding soft drink container The Federal Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs Allan Lawrence was initially reluctant to ban the dangerous bottles but finally announced last the bottles mil be banned by the end of the summer Unfortunately that means the dangerous bottles will remain on store shelves throughout the hot summer months when soft dnnk consumption is at its peak Most supermarkets are hurrying to get the lethal bottles off their shelves before explosions that have led to severed veins and repeated Not only can an entire chains image be seriously blackened by a soft bottle explosion victims of these explosions are already suing the chain stores that sold the bottles The chain stores will avoid further law suits and damage to their image by removing the bottles However as former Liberal cabinet Minister Herb Gray said when he urged the bottle ban the smaller corner stores will continue to keep the bottles on their shelves Mr Grny claim is borne out by the Herald survey of local variety stores almost ail of which still carry the bottles despite the warnings Young Kim owner of Georgetown Quick Pik variety store says he well awart of the bottles danger and thinks they should be banned However because of the highly competitive nature of his business he says he can t afford to remove the bottles from the shelves unless his com petition does too And local chants have already told The Herald they intend to carry the bottles as long as its legal This is one time the govern cannot wait for the private sector to regulate itself If Hills stores continue to sell the dangerous 1 litre bottles were sure the situation is being repeated across Canada And government warnings are not enough A three year old boy in Toronto is now blind because of an exploding bottle we doubt a warning would have done him much good So before further tragedies Canada should ban the immediately taking its lead from Israel which banned the bottles earlier this week after woman was killed by an exploding bottle Ministrys record grows darker still The fact that the ministry of environment is under fire again from conservationists lends credence to speculation about Queen Park inability or is the word unwillingness to carry out its mandate the best interest of safety and the general public The ministry and Halton region are currently on trial alongside area truckers who collect sewage sludge from the regions pollution control plants and haul it to designated rural fields In compliance with the landowners wishes the sludge is spread over the fields as an alternative to fertilizer Last week however Murray Stephen of the Region Conservation Authority blew the lid on allegedly questionable ministry procedures for licensing and supervising the spreading operations Appropriate weather It was probably fitting that rain deluged Canada Day celebrations locally after all when an accounting is taken of this country pluses the weather is one few will cheer about Our winters are too cold and our summers are too hot and humid so it just wouldn t have seemed right to have nice sunny weather to honor this country birthday But despite the showers Halton HiUs residents did their determined best to have good time during this past holiday weekend especially dunng the Canada celebrations Certainly the biggest local birthday for Canada is held in Glen Williams Although showers plagued the festivities all day Saturday the jam packed program managed to draw a determined group of revellers As usual it was a good show and one that those who dared to brave the rain obviously enjoyed thoroughly And other local communities including Acton nod all put on impressive displays in honor of this nations 112 birthday Many happy returns everyone Instead of being stored in special facilities for the winter Mr Stephen told Halton region officials and the press the sludge Is being spread throughout the year with little or no attention being given to surface runoff and seepage The result has been the con lamination of nearly streams and rivers The Conservation Authority is righteously incensed over yet another example of the ministry of environment failing to live up to the promise of its name Harry who landed atop the en vironment portfolio during Premier Davis most recent shuffle has responded to com plaints with a whitewash version of an incident in Burlington late February which saw the Bronte and Sheldon Creeks polluted by sludge Two of Mr Perrott predecessors in the ministry George Kerr and George were similarly the subject of many accusations involving their ap parently upside down lists of priorities There were times when corporate and commercial in blatantly ahead of public safety and environmental interests perhaps the most con troversial incident involving the mercury poisoning of fish in two northern Ontario rivers last year That insufficient precautions and improper practices are con tinuing to jeopardize the delicate environmental balance and possibly human life in is at once depressing and incendiary In its superficial effects the failure of the province to honor Its contracts and protect their land Is eroding the confidence of farmers who offer their properties as sludge disposal sites From that small beginning the rest of Ontario voters will gradually take on and cultivate one of two possible attitudes towards a government with one of the darkest records in Canadian history Those who find accusations of further ministry atrocities depressing will become resigned to the sound of meshing of gears within the Big Blue Conservative Machine and help propagate the old status quo Those who find the accusations incendiary however will find a way to develop a government that is responsible to their needs and concerns Why is Joe dark adamant on his Jerusalem stand llurrau II
