It added that such pressure came either directly or in- directlyfrom federal officiais Who are attempting to con- vince people in Port Hope that the cleanup in the town can't begin until the Port Granby dump site is available. "This is, *of course, untrue", Mr. Lawrence's letter said. The letter also stated: "It may be to the financial interests of some who are playing an active e in this campaign due to then interest in land sale transactions in ort ope, t exert this pressure on me."

The group backed up this decision Wednesday evening with a unanimous vote to establish a pledging system which would supply funds to cover legal expenses. Before the coffee percolator had been put away at the meeting in the Newtonville Public School, a total of 14 pledges totalling $1200 had been collected. At least two more pledges were expected before the meeting was over. However, SEAP members won't have to reach for their cheque books yet. The pledges indicate that if the need arises, the members are willing to donate certain amounts of money. SEAP committee chairman, E.d. Veldhuis said pledges from people who are not members of SEAP would be welcome too. The chairman said at last Wednesday's meeting that the SEAP committee was told it had a very good cause when it looked into the possibility of taking legal action against Eldorado. Our felicitations to Mrs. Wm. Stapleton in Strathaven Rest Home, whose 87th birth- day is being observed by family and friends June 7, 1976. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Lane of Port Hope were Monday visitors here with Mrs. Leone Lane. Mrs. Skelding Sr. is staying with Mrs. Frank Stapleton and family, while Frank is in White River on a business trip. 1 Need $10,000 All that is needed, according to Mr. Veldhuis, is money. "Although we would win, we can't even begin until we have the necessary dollars," Mr. Veldhuis explained to the 40 people at the meeting. He saîd that if legal action were taken, SEAP would get the best legal representation possible and this kind of legal talent would cost $10,000. Mr. Veldhuis said he couldn't give all the details about actions that could be taken against Eldorado but he did say that legal action would take the form of an injunction. The injunction would be based on the assumption that local property had been damaged by Eldorado pollution. Mr. Veldhuis said residents in the Port Granby area would be the only people eligible to take out an injunction because they own property near the dump site. According to Mr. Veldhuis, the Eldorado operations could be stopped in four weeks once the necessary funds were raised. He did not elaborate on where his legal advice was coming from, although he did tell the SEAP members that the executive committee bas been in touch with the Canadian Environmental Law Association. (CELA) After the meeting, Mr. Veldhuis explained that if Eldorado continues to operate at Port Granby either with or without a licence after June 30, SEAP would consider the possiFility of an injunction. On June 30, Eldorado's permit to dump residue from its Port Hope refinery at Port Granby expires. It will be up' to the Atomic Energy Control Board o renew the permit.
