Letter to the Editor Dear Sir, People of Central Ontario District - Are you prepared to lose your homes and jobs? Silly question? Not, if you realize the ripple effect. that would be created by Eldorado being prevented from building its new plant at Port Granby - these ripples would grow as they spread through the area hitting the commercial areas, small businesses and homes. Why? If Eldorado can't build at Port Granby then is it reasonable to expect its plant in Port Hope to stay? Can this area count on the 8 million dollar a year payroll contiiu- ing? Do you realize that this $8,000,000 each year is spent largely in the triangle business community of Oshawa, Peterborough and Cobourg? Have you calculated how the loss of this much money to the area would affect you, personally, your job, your business or your home? Why shouldn't Eldorado built its new plant in Port Granby, if it meets all the required standards? Why shouldn't the community benefit by this new industry in taxes, jobs and development to encourage other needed businesses to locate in the area? ' Without Eldorado's new refinery and with the loss of its existing plant, what will happen to associated in- dustries and other businesses in the area? Or, to get down to the "crunch" what will your future be? How will this affect the future of you and your family? Are you concerned - really concerned? If so, write to the editor of your newspaper to tell him you are in favour of Eldorado's proposed refinery at Port Granby. Also write to Hon. Alastair Gillespie, Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources, at Ottawa to tell him, too. Do it now - don't wait till it's too late! Do right by your community - write!
