Mr.- Moffatt called for a random sampling of white blood, ceil counts of area residents,, further medîcal checks as indicated, a cleanup of the area and a public inquiry into nuclear waste disposai. Mr. Moffatt called for an inquiry earlier when first reports of radioactivity from -nuclear waste became public. "Witb only one-quarter of the town now- inspected, 30 additional sites have been discovered to have higber than acceptable levels of radioactivity," he said. "Government action to with- Dignitorîes Present for Day Care Centre'Opening bold info rmation is com bining with rumours to make the situation an uneasy one."' There were rumours of bouses being buiît with sur- plus materials from Eldorado Nulear Refinery, and that the materials were radioactive, he said. Mr. Moffatt urged Premier Davis, who returned to Toron- to last Thursday. from vaca- tion "to act immediately and decisively. With the disclosure of additional contaminated sites in Port Hope, the Province must immediately set up a public inquryitoa aspects of nuc ear waste disposai." Mr. Moffatt first brouht up the matter in the legisiature after St. Mary's School and several other sites were found to have high levels of radon gas.

The school was closed but was to have reopened on January 5th. Now it has been closed indefinitelv. Mr. Moffatt said he received a\ "nod of assent from the Premier in the legisiature when I asked if a task force composed of representatives of the Ministries of Environ- ment, Health and Agriculture would be formed to investi- f ate the radioactivity.," So ar , the investigation has been cloaked in secrecy, with statements by officials, then revised statements as more information came out. "Ail of t his secrecy and revision of statements by officials involved makes the case look lîke colossal hun- gling and only encourages rumours and speculation of the worst sort. The time to be, honest and forthright witb the citizens of Port Hope is now." The situation in the town is beginning 'to resemble the movie "Jaws" Mr. Moffatt said. The town council in the movie preferred tourist re- venue to admission of a sbark menace, and Ontario Govern- ment officials seem to be similarly more interested in playing down dîscoveries of radioactivity than in doing something about it, he said. thatstarts THURSDAY l5thJanuary.
