Four Hurt on Highway 1,15 Near Enterprise Hi!! iii ic et Port Granby Dm Thon Carry Protest to Ottawa By Peter Parrott Members of a organization opposed to the local dumping of waste from Eldorado Nuc- lear Limited of Port Hope, ha ' e decided to take up the placard. At a meeting of SEAP (Save Our Environment from Atom- ic Pollution) last niglit, mem- bers voted to picket the Eldorado dump site on Lake- shore r'oad near Port Granby. The demonstration is to begin around nine Monday mrigand last ail day. t is ineddto be a peaceful protest. SEAP chairman, E. J. Veldhuis said there are no plans to block Eldorado trucks bringing wastes to the 26 acre, site. The decision to demonstrate was not unanimous. Out of the SEAP members who voted Monday evening, 16 said they were willing and able to picket July 5. About a baif dozen indicated that tliey were either unable or unwiiling to join the demonstration. A total of ab~out 50 SEAP members and others'were at the meeting in the Newtonville public scliool last nîght.-,, They were told that ail the necessary regulations pertain- ing to 'demonstrations in the area of the Eldorado dump site area would be checked out before the demonstration took place. .Cloak of Secrecy Durham East MPP, Doug Moffatt' said at the meeting that lie would be at the demonstration Monday. 1The provincial member toid the. audience that he ,was concerned about the question of secrecy surrounding nuc- lear technology. He admitted that he was unabie to get any more answers to bis questions than SEAP members. 1"Nobody lias assured us yet that we can ive with nuclear energy of any kind," Mr. Moffat said. He expiained that nuclear power is a federal respornsibility and inform- ation about it is "eloaked in secrecy."

Hlad we realized ià earlier, a note wouidý have been included in Iast week's edition. Now, correspoindents and advertisers will, be bringing or sendinig their copy in after most of the pages have been comrpleted. So, an unfortuniate oversight for which we apologize. MISSING KEYS - Someone in town must be wondering what happened to their keys. Two of them were found on the doorstep of Astor Photo Studio on Tuesday, of Iast week. Phone them if you've lost you rs. FLYING AGAIN - Apparently, peace is reigning again in the airwaves over Canada. An agreement has been worked out between the government, the air controllers'and the pilots. As we understand it, a third member is to be appointed to the commission enquiring into the safety of bilingual operations at large airports in Canada. However, there is no commitment to accept the commission's findings, so the, tie up could occur again. But, for the meantime, it would appear that planes xill soon be flying again o n a regular'basis. IN CAMERA - Monday was a frustrating day for Statesman reporters who spent rnost, of the day in and out of council sessioins. On at least two occasions, council decided to go from a council meeting into a closedsession, witb re- porters and any private citizens forced to leave while these super secret discussions went on. So far, much of the secrecy remains just that, with the public being kept in the dark on what goes on. MIXED HOLIDAY - Canada's big holiday cornes on Thursday, but quite a few people will be working that day and taking Friday instead. No doubt the country's founding fathers won't complain about such heresy. It will be, interesting to see how many people break out flags for the holiday as, an indication of loyalty and pride of citizenship. TOUGH LUCK - We hear that the unexpected ramn storm on Saturday night bit just as the hundreds of guests had arrived at Parkwood in Oshawa to enjoy the promenade that had been rained out the week previoue1y. It bas now been called off unitil September when, it is hoped, the weather man will have things straightened out. PLAYGROUNDS- Newcastle's 25 playgrounds will be in full operation starting at 9:30 a.m'. opI Monday, July 5th and ending Thursday, August l9th.
