4 The Canadian Sttema , Bowmanville, Sept. 19, 1973 1I9RIAL COMMENT" Man Qustinsto be Answered On, Moid-ay, there were two meeti'Lngs in te re where the politLical ca-nd-idate-s in the forthcom- ing IC: reg il lcton ere called 1upon o reen teselves and their plans to the electorate. One meeting wXas in tfhe Cartw,ýright Community Centre at laktokand the other at St'. Joseph-'s Hall, Bowm" 11a nvill e. Ourcogauain to the RatepaýyerýsAsoitn of Cart- wright, Port ery. eahand Scugog eand the Klinsmen Cýl-ub of Port Perry1 who have,ýc organized a serUieýs of five mýeetings for their area, and to the -KnîghtLs of Columbus who sponisored the meet-. îng here. Ufort'u-nately, the res- ponise of the eetr did not comparne withth enthiusiasm and initiative of the organizers or the canidtes A atwi g htC the Commnitýy RHall was about lhaîf filled and h -ere aIbout .50 were, present-, quite a üf oftem friends or relatives ofc thecadats.an somne of themididjn't soweither. We atnddboth m1eetinigs bifyand cm otecnlso thiat there are m-any initefigent rmen seeking eetinin both arteas.Mýen, in most cae,iwho have had considerable experience in mmunici- 'pal politics, who ar-e Çgoýod speakers anid who have done ,,a considerable amoýunt of studying in an attempt to bçcome fmiliar wth thisý new and extre:meIy comrplex form o f govern- men theye 1ho-ppg tobe a part of. It bexcame fil obvixous at both m-eetings that the few electorý,s ,who atten"IdS ed wre cmleey ofused andA poo-rly informed on the suýbject. These people were interested eniough 1to cmso it can onfly been concluded that those whowere absent kniow even less about itc. Another fact becýame quite clear as the meigpog 'sd He candi- dates tesevswhl ell versed on týhe overal pla, raly have no wyo f kniowi ng9 pr ýe ci sc deti;s o f thie reginl oenmn' operation. The, only guide fin~es they have to follow are thosethat have been tried ini other regional governments, and these vary, considerably. Some candidates indicated they planned to spend their full time on the job while others weren'it sure or backed away fromi the question, lit xkould appear to uis that the new two-tiered regional govern- mnent, in its initial Stages, is going to talke a consider-able amount of the elected representatives' timie formï- ulating policy while others in the non elected category are working out the administrative details, mutch the same as happened when the school boards were reorganized on a county basis. The key in this operation will be how capable the regionial chairman is in persuading mnembers to f ollow the ground rules and not get diverted by side issues and individual local problemns of a compratielyminor nature. These will have to be taken care of by the various departmients or the council wilbecomne bogged down v'ery quickly. It's a big area they are trying to serve and much of the detail work wl ha ve to be lef t to the administrators w,.ho must be m-ost competent if the systemn is ta- work. ,Citizens will find they will lose some of the close contact they once had with the elected representatives under the old system, but in the long run they will have gained miuch by better overail planning and other benefits. So., on to election day Oct. lst, and gsood luck to those whio are entering the field without quite know)ýýing, whaýt they are getting înto. The job Jis a big one, but it will be done without nearly as mi-uch confusion as som-e expeet. There will be honestl mistakes made andc corrected, but there were unider the old system. Let's look forward to our new form of government and make it work for the goodof everyone.

Po3sibly the Deputy-Reeve's most damnaging arguments come near the end of his presentation, wýhen hie spuggestUs that the Planning Board hias evolved a planning philosophy in conjunction with council and the public that has resulted in their draf t Officiai Plan . ..and, after much thought, has advised that the current mobile homne proposais do not conform to their draft Officiai Plan. To allow the moicbile homes scheme to proceed wouild be a rejection of the Planning Board and its recommendations, an action that the Deputy-Reeve does not consider justifîed by any arguments included in Reeve Wood- yard's report.

DearEdtr Eighiteen months ago, th)e Governmrent announ.ced the siting of a new, inter- naitional airport at Picker- ing, Otri.This )was ta be the second if two internat- inlairports around Ter- anto, and the third inter- national Aîrport within a raisof 300 miles between Toonto and MAïntreal. Since that time, People or Planes bas led a mýounting opoiinto this project. Our objections are based on the fact that tlhere is net a pro-ven need for another international airpart cither now or in the predietable future. The siatdcost (ranging tram 600) million (Government figure) to 2 Ibilion) represents a colos- Isal expen-dîture by the 5Federal Governmnent. This is heing m adeata time J -hen there are higher priarities for sc a sumn of mioney. These priarities icuepublic heusing, the correction of regional dis- pari ties and the Stimula- tion of decentralization fromn the M etro Toronto area. But the Federal Govern- ment hias plunged headlong into the a iirport planning. They have hoped that opposition ta the airport will die as arable farm land turns to weed with the eprueof farmners who have been expropriated and bougbt out. The airport and associateýd comiplex wiloccupy somne- 43,000 ac res of class anc farmnland w-hich produces a major portio-n of fo od supplies neceded to maintain a stable cast of living in this area. Tire Government has been farced te aânnounce, because of the opposition ta the lanrd gab, a Hlearing af Tnquiry. The termns of reference of the hecaring aIre weak, and it is doubtful that real i-nformnation will be farthcomîing uless citu- zens across Canada take up the cause. Thierei is nio need for a second international air- port at Toronto. There is need for- correction of reg,,ionazl disparities, pro- vision1 of jobs in areas otkeTaronto (,there is mnmlunemrploymrent at Plickering) and decentrali- zationï of major industries tre,_m Metro Toronto. Il'flihe Gvernment pro-. Ceeds wvith t1his airport, rîcýh Metro w-ill get richer --n , the poor will get poorer. Yours very truly, C. M. Godfrey, Chairman,. People or Planés.

I have a stock of stock answers. "No trouble at ail. We just wenlt 1e'here the pilet took us." That somnetim-es shuts them up. Another retort. "Just kept goîng until we heard a lot of Limieys chlirpinlg." 1 sav,.e that one for thce Britons out here who haven't iost their accent. Weil, 1 found it greatly changed and much the samne. Despite the leveiling off economically, the old class system is stili there, and causes eveni more animnosity than it. used to. That is, the poor are better off, and the rich are taxed iniquitiously, s0 there's less of a gap financialiy ,. But you are stili iabeled by your accent, your occupation, and your background, There is stili woefui inefficiency in a multitude of things and amazing pro.ficiency îin others. The standard of living has risen a ýgood deai, but so have costs. The papers are headlined with rising food costs and their real estate took ani upward surge a few years ago. A houLse there costs about the samne as a simlar one here. Food is a littie cheaper than ours. Drinks a littie cheaper and a little weaker. Transport is a bit cheaper and twice as good as ours, That's b)eCause of the short distan- ces, the heavy population, and the highi cost, for the working man, of owning a car. Through trains rocket along at speeds up , to a hundr-ed mn.p.h. Employmient? Almnost comrplete, if you want a job. There are supposed to be haîif a million unemployed, but a businessman told me this represents oniy the unem- ployabies, and those who don't want to work. Everywhere, niewspapers, store windows, there are "Heip Wantedý" ads. Admittedly, a lot of the jobs are nienial, but n ot ail, by any mneans. The Brits don't want the more lewly Occupations. And that's why the blacks have m-oved in, mostly froni the West Inidies. They are the bus conductors,: subway workers, waiters and unskilled laborers. And whenever things tighten Uap a bit, there is resentment, and racial violence, But there is a great shoýrtage, right now, of both skilied anýd unskilIed workers. rThe P-ost office is desperateiy understa:ffed.. Pos-tai workers are working ovýertime, and,, somne of thiemi, bleats a newý,spap)er, are failiîng asleep a hi os That has a famîÀliar ring, somnehow. In London, the bus servie--is away below par, because iL is short 41,500 bus drivers. Achartered accountan'tc told1me that it's almost ipsil to hire girls who can o;perae busineýss machines.

A publisher in London advertis- ed extensively for a secretary7. 11e offered about $85 a week, a month's vacation and a bottie of cham pagne upon engagement. He got zero answers. In frustration, he printed 1,000 handbills and had his staff pass them Out On the streets to likeiy-looking candidates. Resuit, four phone cails. Two of themn were not interested. The other two mnade appointments for finterviews. Nih er turned Up. Another aspect of Enigiand thilat hias changed, sadly, is the increase in violence. 1 met two young feiilows in a pub. They were both em-ployed and making about $100 a week. Yet they boasted ocf' being Borstlaioy (reform schooi). Thïe eider wh seemed seeth-ingi with rage at the world in generai, and reý,ady to start a row with anybody, hadl aiso been Jn prison. They w/ere working class, but hated everybody above them in the systeml. There have be racialI riots involvinig whites, biacks andc Indians. London bus stop signs warn tqhat "O0wing te hooiiganisim and attacks on our staff" such and such buses will not run after a certain hour.
