OUR READERS WRITE Garbage is bringing adverse publicity Dear Sir Regarding your reporting of the meeting of and local residents at the dinner meeting of the Acton Chamber of Commerce I feel I have been misquoted or perhaps underquoted would be a better term The purpose of my attendance was primarily to draw attention as vigorously as possible to A The adverse publicity to the Town of Acton caused by erroneous reporting by the news media I repeat It Is not proposed to bring the garbage of Toronto to Acton but to Indusmin quarries located in township Should this psychological seed not be killed before it germinates in the minds of people who might be interested in moving to Acton the Words GARBAGE AND AC TON will become synonymous and property values will suffer as a result B You report that Mr Borud told the meeting there are homes within feet a similar operation in San Diego California However you fail to report that on being asked whether these homes were built before or after the operation started Mr reply was before CI can see the desirability from s viewpoint in having trucks filled with baled garbage coming to their quarries and leaving fully laden for the return Journey but t it logical to assume that this will almost double the wear and tear to the roads in the area without any commitment from Indusmin to at least help In defraying the upkeep costs D I It is a governmental requirement for extractive industries to make an attempt to beautify or camouflage their excavations If while doing this can make an extra profit would say this is a sound business practice and wish them every success but as a real estate broker I feel I have a duty to the people who ask me to act for them in their property transactions and if Acton Is not to be known as the garbage dump of Toronto every means must be employed to stop the media mentioning garbage and Acton In the sentence Yours truly George Garbage goes on forever RR lLirnehouse The Acton Free Press Dear Sirs About Toronto garbage If Pickering Port Hope and don t want It why do we in Are they all stupid Or could it be us It is said to be inert There are very few inert materials In the world In fact gold Is the only one I can think of and they Toronto are certainly not sending us gold bricks Please please I ask those who are running our township to look Into this matter very carefully We may be gone but garbage goes on forever Yours truly Joan Denny Ottawa Report by Terry Connor Halton MP Following the announcement last week that Canada auto pact trade position had suffered a deficit of at least in 1 dida little at the Minister of Industry Trade and Commerce in the House of Commons The substance of my position has been reported elsewhere But I thought it might be interesting to look briefly at the manoeuvring and tactics that I and other Members go through to be heard and to fee lively communicate a position to the House to the press and the nation Other than in the usual course of debate where Members often wait days for their turn to be heard a Member must use his guile and wits to ask questions make points and be recognized by the Speaker ahead of the 2G3 other Members in the House With the Important auto pact announcement something right up my alley I arranged to be our Party lead off questioner during daily afternoon Question Period The orchestra Hon of the Question Period is planned during an early morning meeting of our Caucus Chairman We decide the major Issues to be hit who will ask the questions and in what sequence I was able to ask four questions of the Minister before giving way to other Members who followed with supple on the same general issue Two motions I also drafted and moved two Motions under Standing Orders 26 and These House rules of procedure permit Members to be Immediately called upon to interrupt the daily business and to move adjournment of the House to discuss matters of urgent public concern The mover of the Motion is permitted to state the matter of urgent concern Standing Order requires the Speaker favorable ruling that the matter is urgent Rule requires unanimous consent of the House These are very rarely afforded and they were not Lets talk about HORSES with Jennifer Ban- Heard a funny horse story the momentum to swing into the other day that conjured up such saddle What made it worse was mental images I was doubled up with laughter I hope it hits you over plowed ground not with the the same furrows but over them like an I have a friend Marie who has granted to me But using these rules did permit two more to get In some licks on on important subject Finally after the Minister had answered a series of questions In the House I rose on a question of privilege alleging that he had misled the Members in referring certain sec lions of the Auto Pact Agreement After a short elaboration the Sneaker that I was raising a point of debate that I was out of order and the Minister was not required to explain himself How ever again my points and are on the record and more important they attracted the interest of the reporters in the Press Gallery Interviewed Following Question Period and as a result of pressing the Issue so vigorously I was interviewed by the newspaper and television press which of course distributes the information to the nation I agree that it all seems very complicated However in Ottawa with its larte conglomeration of newsworthy people and events all packed together like sardines one must wiggle a little more than the next sardine order to be seen If you have a problem Idea comment criticism or if you simply wish to get in touch with me please stop by or call my office at Ikcshore Road Fust Acton council dealt with a wide variety of matters at
