condom machines Editor s note The following letter was released to the Hills Herald for publication To Mr Bob Williams Director of Education Mr Robert Nosa Medical Of ficer of Health Mr Bryn Davies Principal GDHS I am writing to you regarding the suggestion that condom machines be installed In the washrooms at Georgetown District High School I am totally opposed to this plan but have a feeling that it will be regardless of any op position I would just like to make two comments First The experts are misleading our young people by telling them that sex is safe if they use a condom How many babies are born when condoms are used as a contraceptive The spread of AIDS and other sex transmitted diseases will not be stopped by the use of con doms merely slowed slightly Sex with condoms is safer than without but by no means safe Second The only thing preventing some kids from sex is the embarrassment of having to confront an adult to buy a condom If machines are in stalled in school this deterrent will disappear 1 prefer the that the condoms be issued by the school nurse At least then the embarrassment deterrent may still beef fective Signed an anxious parent of two teenagers Name and address withheld by reqoest vironmental Assessment Board lacks a code of conduct Robert Macauley Chairman of the Energy Board and ex Hearing Officer recently wrote a paper called

normal scope of the Environmental Assessment process there is no chance for a fair and unbiased review and assessment of the proposal The people of this province are at a distinct disadvantage As we approach a provincial statement on whether this ap plication will go to a hearing you now know that RSI has an unfair advantage Further in an Communique dated March 29 1990 and addressed to All Pro tectors and Preservers of the Niagara Escarpment Ruth MPP Etobicoke Lakeshore stated I assume that if the Escarpment is a Biosphere Reserve you will have no further need to worry about quarries or garbage dumps For these reasons I ask will you reject RSI s application outright and not allow the proposal to be heard by the Environmental Assess ment Board Sincerely Rita Landry I Hon Mr Mr N Duignan Letter to the troops Editors note The following letter was released to the Haiton Hills Herald for publication Dear Editor The following letter has been sent to the more than residents of Peel
