installing at Cednrvale Park this summer The plaque will remain as a symbol to Georgetown recognizing a part of our history that was shired with Armenian orphans In and the Georgetown Boys were brought to town courtesy of the Armenian Relief Association of Canada They learned farming skills at Cedirvale Park and were welcomed by the small Georgetown community before they were assimilated into other farms across On tano he now grown up orphans are still holding reunions in Georgetown periodically and they haven forgotten their childhood roots Two man war is emerging to capture Quebec vote Ottawa Report Last summer it was suggested they erect a plnqi in Canadian immigration iue marking a noble experiment The closely knit group went to work and within a year theyve come up with an impressive historical plaque by inches We look forward to a film about the Armenian or and hope a local showing can be arranged when the dm is complete Its nice to know the Georgetown Boys haven t forgotten us Their presence here long ago should be remembered it important to the history of Georgetown and Canada Farmers forum A study by Region on farming in the area stirred up a hornet nest for some who had read results For others it was fairly accurate account of the problems farmers are facing in Halton Overall the study has proved to be an effective way of outlining many needs of our farmers However we agree with Peter Branch who is asking for a public forum to discuss the results The study gives us the perfect criteria to base a forum for those who want to add further comments A cent response rate doesnt warrant the study as being lotallj scientific or accurate in its findings Farmers deserve to comment on the study if the results will be used for future planning of our rural areas One of the key points of the survey found that far feel their concerns are being ignored If we disallowed a public meeting to discuss the study we cer be reinforcing that statement Cont

stack a meeting at the last moment with new members some of whom had scarcely of the Tory party and in the ensuing balloting you could expect everything from list fights to false fire alarm You could

Liberal warfare Is taking place in the political trenches on the or homes in the local tuvern in hockey rinks and anywhere or more Liberals get together And while we won know much about these individual pressure plays will continue right up to Ihc convention Unlike Ihe battle In which delegates were committed to two distinct and strong Chrolienconlestseems to involve more movement back and

Mr Julian Reed MPP IS Montgomery Lane Milton Ontario Dear Mr Reed Further to my letter of May 19M regard ing comments made by you about the exploits lion of children and animals on film the following Is a complete paragraph written by on December 15 as a part of your submission to the Commission It seems lo me that the object of the oxer you arc going through is one of protec tion of those who cannot protect themselves The greatest concerns expressed have been the use of children or those depleted as children in sexual situations the- depiction of extreme violence coupled with sexual references and my own concern which has not been expressed too often surrounds the obvious abuse of mals in the production of film and video lapc This Is my last comment on the subject Yours truly Gail Citizens Against Violent Pornography rose opt has trouble finding them The commissions BOO- page million report produced under man Stefin documents our swine shift mood wis coon And it conclusively upholds the charges levelled a decade ago by then NDP lender Stephen Lewis that not just but lung cancer and mesothelioma in victims could be to asbestos exposure in the workplace Lewis

respond to health hazards in the work environment Some kind i f mem il threshold has to be fore people lock on to a dinger and actually react Then nituraily being human we tend to go to the other extreme All of a sudden whit was work hazard becomes a general environmental hazard no mutter how minute the quantity of the m itennl too irt lessons in how perspective is last between clouds of blowing in Building a Leader part the years work practices which were Indifferent to the hazardous nature of asbestos were common One executive told the commission that lis late as 1H3 when he danger of contracting if was well known I found out how to work a dust collector by putting my head inside the hopper bin having somebody bury me In the hopper with asbestos ft POINTS And while the commission doesn face and point a finger Johns Manvltle or normal government for a slow response it Editors notebook From beginnings to covered ends students at Georgetown District High School have taken the first step In producing a newspaper to rival Herald and The Independent For the past week our paper has played host to a couple of budding Ernest Danney Russell and Nita Millease are the editors of The Leader a newspaper produced entirely by students Since coming to the paper and nave become Involved In all aspects of how a newspaper works they ve done everything except sell the Thanks to teacher Charles club students In his class also gained handson experience by selling ads and Iping with designing the layouts Says Mr Genore The kids learned to do sales presentations and about keeping to deadlines and organ themselves Although students started out helping with selling ads for paper even stuck It out to the end Marc Bertrand led the pack with enthusiasm aided by Jamie Mark Steve Marcoll ini Brian Kevin and Brent Overall Mr was satisfied with the marketing project under taken He gave op marks our advertising manager Bob Light bourn for showing enthusiasm in working with the students after 5pm and explaining the importance of the exercise to them On the editorial side Pat Patrick supervised a motley but willing crew or news hounds Other teachers involved Dale Low Bcthjesly Mascola Nora Williams and William Balfour and have probably learned more here in one week than moat first year journalism students do on how a newspaper is put together They edited alt he stories picked out the pictures planned a layout up the layout and wrote all Says Nita about her lime at Herald I t expect get the chance to do as much as lve done You only get to see presses moving in the movies Here you liave do everything and It much harder than I thought also acknowledged how difficult It seems to put out a paper compared to Lou Grant Everything we do here is great but it more complicated than I thought To those who participated in The Leader I like to say you ve all done an excellent job If others consider it a success perhaps the project will blossom into a annual or semi annual event Russell types out a headline In The Herald composing room looks on not the same as Grant Herald photo t part of mandate does call particular plant a worldclass occupational health disaster The irony is that once we as a society do become very conscious of ihe danger posed by any substance we automatically tend to go overboard Asbestos dust that Is long thin fibres in sufficient quantity loose in the air appears from current evidence to be the villain Yet a combination or media and political pressure turned our new awareness of asbestos as sometimes hazardous into a witch hunt against the substance In schools where Its fireresistant properties have likely saved lives and where it is no danger If left In an undisturbed stale a mult I million dollar campaign for removing it was undertaken Asbestos was taken from hair dryers and forbidden use In the filtering of wine two uses the slon says pose no problem Nor is its only current Ontario use in disc brakes a difficulty either In fact the commission concludes that even eating asbestos is quite safe The danger Is In Inhaling il and even then the quantities have to be large enough In sharp contrast to media stories and lo politicians who said here is no safe limit for asbestos exposure Thanks Dear Sir On behalf of our department I would like to take this opportunity to thank the M residents of Halton Hills who
