Presidents Meet ut Rotary Meeting villagers of the high Hima- layan mountains, the founda- tion and Hillary establish the needs of t he area and then use volunteer labor to construct the buildings. Mr; O'Connor bas travelled to the Nepalese villages where the latest hospital and scbool was constructed and, when he addressed the club, showed slides of his travels. He, also ran a film on Hillary and his adventures in the Himalayas. Most-of the projects carried out bY the foundation' are designed to educate tbe Nepalese, who remain isolat- ed and ignorant of western learning and technology de- spite the intrusion of more and more western hikers and climbers into the area every year. Hillary's dream, and the goal of the foundation is to educate tbese people. "We want to teach them," said Mr. O'Connor. "Not bring in western civilization but to educate them. Educate tbem so they can make good choices and not be made into slaves by people coming into their area. " Mr. O'Connor went on to tel of the superstition of the people and their distrust of modemn ways. Doctors spend a great deal of time teaching proper hygiene and inoculat- ing the cbildren from tubercu- losis and other diseases in the area. Now, the foundation is attempting to link up with the Canadian National Institute of the Blind to help, villagers suffering from cataracts. Recently, one, native had cataracts removed from bis eyes and saw for the first time in 22 years. One hospîtal in this area is the higbest in the world and epitomizes Hillary's method. The hospital is one main room and is similar to a mud but. According to Mr. O'Connor, Sir Edmund believes notbing he helps get tbe villagers should be better tban their living conditions. "People appreciate it more because tbey worked on it,"I said Mr. 0'Connor. "And it's better for tbem wben tbey can relate to the building." The foundation, bowever, is not above introducing revolu- tionary devices to tbe mountains. Ia 1973, they introduced, the first solar heating unit to belp save fuel. Sir Edmund may bave climbed tbe mountain because it was tbere; be, Mm. O'Connor and tbe foundation, bowever,, build schools, bospitals, and bridges because tbey care.

Sehooâ"ls, Not Mountains Hillary's Real Concern Sir Edmund Hillary is known for climbing Mount Everest, unfortunately, he'd rather be known for some- tbing a littie less exciting: building schools in Nepal.

Jack Dunham, director of public works, infommed bis committee on Thursday morn- ing that be had received word from the Ministry of Treasury, Economics,, and Intergovernmental Affairs requiring a financial break- down of the costs involved. Totten , Sims, Hubicki, Associates Limnited bas detail- ed the remedial measumes required and the cost involved in preparing a pmeliminamy engineering study. The consul- tants bave given a quote of ,$6,500 fom tbe study. Accomding te a public works department memo dated April 25, Hugh Connoîly, of the ministry, said the project was eligible for a subsidy of up te 80 per cent, witb 60 per cent being advanced at the com- mencement of construction and the balance being paid upon completion when final dlaims are submitted. The consultants compîeted a field inspection and preli- minary analysis of the shore- line at the village eamîiem this yeam and, according te tbat, found the emosion problems were being caused by direct wave, and current action on the base. The lack of beaches and bigb water levels of the lake were cited as being contibuting factors in the case. D. A. Marucelj, a profes- sional engineer with the firm suggested five main metbods, by which the eosion couîd be baîted or sîowed: a seawalî; an offshore beakwater; goynes; protective beaches; or slope stabilization. "We bave also completed a peiminamy cost estimate for the ehabilitation (protection) of the shomeline based on the siope stabilization method," read Mr. Maucej's report. "An approximate sum of $400,000 wouîd be needed te stabilize the shomeline based on this method. We consider this estimate te be sufficient at this time and for applica- tion for special emergency assistance." He recommended that Councillor Bruce Taylor, Public Works committee chairma n (left) and Robert Dykstra, councillor, (second from' left) point out some of the points they wanted clarified in the discussions over the preliminary drawings for the improvement of1 Highway 2 between Bowmanville and Oshawa. Representatives from the Ministry of Transportation and Communication, temRegion's traffic department, and Totten, Sims, Hubicki Associates Limited, attended the committee' smeeting Thursday morning to discuss the plans for the highway. According to the consultants,1 the major improvement wiIl be to expand the roadway to four lanes along the stretch in question. The report has gone to the works staff for further discussion and input. Ilighway Improvemen t Designs Com pleted Preliminary engineering drawings and plans bave been completed for the stretcb of Higbway 2 between Oshawa and Bowmanville and the major recommendation of the study is to widen tbe road to four lanes over its entire length.
