The Acton Free Wednesday March IB Meeting probes pollution without guest speaker George Kerr Non appearance of guest speaker George Kerr disappointed 120 gathered last Thursday for the Mens special dinner meeting but liij executive assistant former newspaperman Hampson filled the shoes minister of energy and resources temporarily Expressing his own persona keen interest in pollution abatement he briskly spoke the hopes and facts Mr Kerr had intended to give and very capably answered the many questions from tile interested audience It was only during the dinner that the over 100 men and a dozen or so women learned that the guest speaker was home in bed in Burlington Mr said he had hoped all day that Mr Kerr might recover enough to come but he had not Mr ilampson brought the bad news in the door of the music centre with htm In the absence of Men president Ed Leatheriand Jim Lindsay was chairman for the well attended dinner meeting Rev A McKenzie said grace During the delicious meal Charles acted as with two microphones at the back of the room for Ihe benefit of the various men who popped up with amusing variations on hostility and hilarity Just one of the few women proposed a fine on ail the men who had left their wives at home and one of them declared gladly pay that The so amusingly raised goes as Bill Wilson explained to the International Brotherhood fund supported by clubs to send delegates to North America Guests included the district governor Gene of Kitchener Stan Mac Donald Toronto head of the clubs Bishop Fund John Galilee of North Toronto Ted Fountain Gait and Lavender of the north board of education office Head table guests included Mayor Dub Lions president John Gricfcncdcr and Rotary president Gordon McKeown Jim Lindsay and Rick had arranged the evening and Harry played taped music In introducing the substitute speaker Norm Elliott pointed out it was the club intention to be of service to the community and to get education on the problem of pollution Jack Greer thanked the speaker assuring him You can expect 100 per cent cooperation from us He was presented with a targe cowhide rug Mr of Burlington a former reporter for the Hamilton Spectator became Mr Kerr executive assistant six months ago He was born Hamilton where pollution was bad or years ago You re the polluters Mr told the audience firmly and it s the polluter who must pay for the results of years of neglect Man has only a few decades left to improve his environment he warned and say we re only nibbling at the problem Limiting population is vital The people now must pay the piper after years of negleU that means probably in passed on increased costs of goods and services to pay for the pollution which are becoming required He thought the amount of charge used to stop pollution might even be indicated to the public on a beer bottle a hydro bill or a gas pump Lately enthusiasm first generated in the U S is swelling in Canada and just now there a terrific pressure on governments to do something The young people think the governments are hidebound even morally irresponsible a day fine they feel is not enough However Mr felt there was no good in moving too quickly Industries arc indeed embarrassed by being taken to court Most encountered by Mr Kerr he said are perfectly willing to cooperate over a period of years To shut down plants until pollution abatement equipment York Aluminum Co REASONABLE PRICES for ALUMINUM SHUTTERS AWNINGS WINDOWS SOFFITS GABLES AND SIDING GUARANTEED HIGH QUALITY INSTALLATION FREE ESTIMATES EVENINGS REPRESENTING provincial minister of energy and resources George Kerr executive assistant Gordon Hampson centre answers some more questions on pollution for mayor left and Man Jim Lindsay right Over heard Mr replace the expected guest speaker at the special Men dinner meeting Staff Photo was installed seemed extreme and foolish he said although the will be getting tougher In the nine months Mr Kerr has been minister of energy and resources management he is riding a swell of interest in the subject of pollution which Mr urged his listeners to maintain You arc the polluters he accused Get behind the government and cooperate with He listed types of pollution with problematic circumstances 1 The car No 1 polluter He mentioned exhaust control requirement engine changes and the huge amount of money for the inventor of a new type of clean Water Ontario problem with power boats and the shortage of pumpout stations for holding tanks set against federal over lake shipping Phosphates with an Ontario ban expected if the federal ban isn soon enough Industrial Referring to Acton odor problem lie declared North Halton is fortunate He challenged local officials to ensure growth develops properly Jumbo jets and the lack of information or legislation on noise pollution Questions from the floor brought out varied aspects of the problem Mr Kerr is aware of North concern about drag racing and the new concern over noise pollution Tax relief for pollution equipment is due soon fcven returnable bottles arc a terrible problem And if beer bottles become returnable which is being considered by the brewers the situation would be terrible Plastics create a problem as well Liquid industrial wastes arc at a crisis And there lots of money to be made by whoever reaches a solution Yes it s true Ontario acts alone in some ways Montreal has no sewage treatment at all Commercial shipping pollutes Other provinces are not working on pollution prevention as much yet even in Ontario we arc behind We have made moic strides than other provinces and states He cited the OWRC and air pollution legislation On soaps for housewives the product at Macs Milk should be good tests well but many others will be coming Proposed waste disposal plant south of Acton must go through various stages OWRC minister in person waste management branch before it could be constructed contrary to wishes and reports of probable pollution of water Unlike education pollution legislation is all under the control of one man because it works a lot better that way It takes a big title with government backing to talk to a company We found from experience legislation is a farce when run by local people Hamilton was a prime example No it not fair Acton should cease burning at the dump leaves and Christmas trees while other municipalities keep it up despite the governments request Be glad Acton leader This summer university students will be inspecting cottages to make sure they meet our Too often the local M O H has been ineffective Mayor Duby pointed out Acton is to its new million pollution control plant open this year and now has a landfill garbage site Whatever we do we do with best intent he informed the
