10 The Canadian StatesmanBowmanville,November 27, 1974 Metro Shoreline Project Explained The Bowmanville Rotary Club was treated to a film about the Great Lakes entit- led, "Not Man's to Com- mand", at their regular meet- ing on Thursday, Nov. 21st. The film was produced by the National Film Board for the Canada Centre for Inland Waters, and told the story of the uncontrollable natural forces in the lakes. The film was part of the presentation of guest speaker William A. McLean, Admin- istator, Waterfront Division Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity. Mr. MeLean began his address, indicating to the club that the showing of the film would be on the behalf of many groups, but his attend- ance at the meeting was as a Rotarian; that way he could use it as a make-up meeting. He is a member of the Vaughan Rotary Club Toron- to. Mr. McLean stated that the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Author- ity covers an area of 1200 square miles. Its eastern boundary is between Whitby and Ajax and it extends west to the western boundary of Toronto or the Etobicoke Creek. He went on to say that most of the northern shore of Lake Ontario is covered by conservation authorities. Such authorities are covered by the Conservation Act passed in the provincial legislature and came into being when the to Rotaric government decided they did- n't want to be the one to say what the pattern of develop- ment would be along the lakeshore, and that municipal- ities should have the say. However, the municipalities decided that they didn't have the funds to undertake work on the lakefront. So, the conservation authority is a way the municipalities can get together and do something on the lakeshore and obtain government grants to do the work. Just prior to showing the film, Mr. McLean explained the message of the film in that it showed the natural forces in the great lakes system to be uncontrollable, unlike streams and creeks that feed it. The film depicted the many uses of the lakes, showed their inter-relationship and the very complex work and informa- tion used in trying to control them. However, because of the unpredictable weather and the size of the lakes, complete control was not attainable and so homes by the lake are destroyed and water levels rise and fall hindering shipp- ing. Rotarian Stew McTavish posed a request to the speaker to tell about the in-filling along the lakeshore in Toronto. Mr. McLean explained that it was the conservation authority's aim to make the Toronto shoreline available to the public for recreation pur- Fine Family of Three Boys 'ns poses. He went on to say that most of the shoreline was built-up and what the author- ity was doing was creating new land beyond the buildings by filling the lake at the shoreline with earth and concrete. A program of filling in strips that stretch away from the shoreline is being incorporated to create pro- tected areas (bays, etc.), Mr. McLean added. He said the project will cost the govern- ment $20 million for the first five years and $20 million for the next five years. In the project, bouses are not expropriated, but the authority pays cash for the properties when they come on the open market. He also added that there were one or two exceptions to this rule in the Pickering area. Rotarian Fred Beaucage questioned the speaker as to the statement of not exporpriating land, and told how he had been expro- priated at Rouge Hill. Mr. McLean replhed that it had been a different program in that case, the authority, was trying to control the flood plain in that area. The speaker was introduced by Rotary President Alf Allin and was thanked by Rotarian Stew McTavish. T h reVý e Fires Three fires were reported the weekend before last.

The series, entitled "Something Good is Happening", will include programs with Maha- rishi and distinguished speak- ers from various fields. After each program, different mem- bers of the community will offer -their opinions -on the topic related te their profes- sions, to niake the series of community interest. In the past f ve years there has been increasing interest in the Science of Creative Intelli- gence and its practical aspect the technique of Transcenden- tal Meditation. TM is not a matter of Philosonhical atti- tude, religious belief, psycho- logical suggestion, or mood; it is a definite, specifie, syste- Town on matic technique, easily learn- ed by anyone in a short period of instruction. Fdrthermore, since 1958, TM has been taught in a careful, systematic, and uni- form way te over 650,000 people of all ages, countries, and walks of life. This large number of potèntial subjects and the great 'benefits they have reported ekperiencing in many areas of their lives have encouraged scintists to in- vestigate the practice and the results claimed for it. The accumnulatcd evidence of the reality of TM and its.benefits is now ftîll established. Scientific' researcb alone, however, seems unable te fully express the holistic effects of Transcendental Me- ditation and its power to transform the individual's life. Yet scientific lànguage is the language of our Itime, and the reliability of theteaching continues to be verified as the results of new research are published. Cable TV Transcendental Meditation is a simple, natural, effortless procedure for contacting the field of pure creative intelli- gence. It is practiced twice daily for about 20 minutes while sitting comfortably with closed eyes. During this time the individual gains a very profound state of rest knovwn as "restful alertness". Ac- cumulated tension and fatigue, which hinder efficient func- tioning of the nervous system are dissolved in a natural way; the result is increased energy and developed crea- tive intelligence, more inner stability and improved clarity ef perception at all levels of experience. Regular practice of Tran- scendental Meditation insures the harmonious and balanced development of life. These practical benefits of Tran- scendental Meditation enable one to enjoy living in the sustained freedom of increas- ing achievement and fulfill- nient. For anyone interested in hearing more about Tran- scendental Meditation, there will be a free public lecture, Friday, November 29th at 7:30 p.m. in the library program of the Whitby Library, 405 Dun- das West. For further infor- mationcall 728-8152. Everyone welcome Triity U.C.W. The November meeting was held on Tuesday the 19th with the President Mrs. R.

At the Scugog Council meeting on Nov. 18 the problem was again referred to the Parks Board.* The dispute centres on whether the hall will be renovated with a stage and kitchen or whether the stage will be removed entirely to make way for a larger kitchen. The Blackstock Senior Citi- zenshave received a $5,600 New Horizons grant to do the renovations. Mr. Bert Gibson told council that if the renovations were not appro- ved for a large kitchen and no stage, they would send their grant back to the government. About a month ago it appeared as if a compromise mîght have been possible. Spokesman of both the Sen- iors, and the Women's Insti- tute, who want to retain the stage, agreed to present council's compromise propo- sal to their memberships. Mr. Gibson reported on Monday that his grouphadrejected the pro osa. The dispute which first surfaced on Sept. 23 will now be decided by the Parks Board. In a telephone inter,- view iast month, Parks Board Chairman, Merrill Van Camp faesA gain told the Canadian Statesman that the Parks Board unani- mously supports the preserva- tion of the stage in oneform or another. If the New Horizons grarit money is not available, the project will cost council $8 756. This estimate does not include plumbinig, electrical work or painting.
