2-ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, June6;th, 1973 orono weekly times Second Class Mail Registration Number 6368 Published every Thursday at the office of publication IT DOES CONCERN CLARKE It has now become Osbawa's city councils turn to be augered over the latest development in Regional government. They are bitterly concerned over the fact that the ten western lots from Darlington are not to be included with the city as originally proposed but will remain in the Municipality of Newcastle. The original proposal to include these 4000 acres with Oshawa appeared a sensible move for such services as water, sewers, garbage collection, library service can certainly be more economically provided from the Oshawa city rather than setting up individual services for the area. No doubt Reeve Garnet Rickard of Darlington bas put his point across in that these lots are to remain with Darlington. The cost of services to this area is now of interest to all municipalities in the Newcastle area and this includes Clarke Township. It is doubtful that Clarke, Newcastle, or Bowmanville will take a stand in this matter but it surely is of interest to these centres and their taxpayers. At the other end of the measure, the members of Council of Port Hope and Cobourg are more than delighted with the outcome of the regional boundaries. They now talk (again) of restructuring the municipal functions and boundaries. Of course this talk bas been going on for some 3 or 4 years and to date nothing bas happeded. It is doubtful if restructuring will really corne about on a voluntary basis. Hope Township, from our reports, are still leaving all doors open and have possibly one of the greatest decisions yet to make - one based on logic and the other flavoured somewhat on a political basis.+ $7400.00 UNUSED IN CLARKE TOWNSHIP A amount of $7400.00 remains unused in the Township of Clarke on approved projects under the winters work plan. The monies is an amount left from a total appropriation of $9500.00 by the Province for certain projects within the Township of Clarke. To date only the Clarke Public Library and the Clarke Museum have made any use of the fund. Through this use the Museum Board has enlarged and enhance their quarters in the library building and the Library Board has does some renovating and painting. After these projects there still remains $7400.00 unused which had been allotted to the Township Road department and for some renovations in the Township offices. There are certainly a lot a places in the Township that funds such as these could be used and one such area is the Orono Park. A visit to the park reveals lots of work that could be undertaken which would be labour consuming and the winters works plan does pay one hundred percent of the labour costs plus a certain percentage of the labour costs for materials. One need only mention bank improvement along the stream, tree planting, painting the cat walk erected in 1967 and never touch since as well as a bridge, alsoa centeenial project which for the last number of years bas laid in the bed of the creek and now almost covered over with sit. A fine tribute to our centennial year. Whether or not the winter works monies can be transferred to the Park is not known but it could well soon be determined and if ti.e Park Board does have the intiative a great deal of improvement could be undertaken in an area where it is greatly needed.. ALEX Carruthers approves of most of recent proposals for regional area ALEX CARRUTHERS, M.P.P DUR IIAM The announcement on Mon- day last by the HIonourable John White of the Boundaries of the new regional govern- ment east of Metro ushered in a new era of municipal government for much of the united counties of Northumb- erland and Durham. Following the December 18 proposal by the government, a number of alternative plans were proposed, but none of these received the unanimous consent of the municipalities involved. The government plan with certain modification and the exclusion of the municipalities east of the Clarke-Hope boundary will now form the basis for legislation to be submitted for first reading to the legislature within the next few days. In order to maintain a rural environment to the greatest degree possible, and to main- tain a strong economic base, I strongly supported the posit- ion of Darlington Township Council, to have the west ten, lots of that towiship retained. The government revised its original proposal in this re- spect, and granted the muni- cipity's request. The request of Manvers, and Cavan for an adjustment of their boundar- ies wtieh I supported was also granted. Mr. Rowe and I objected strongly to any change in the boundaries of the local school board with the exception of Cavan, Manvers and Cart- wright where much of the education is purchased from adjoining municipalities out- side the counties. I am pleased to note that the present board's jurisdiction will re- main viable. The decision of the munici- pal councils in the diamond triangle to remain out of the region was confirmed no doubt only after very serious consideration, and I regret that I was unable to support it. Only after careful considera- tion of the alternative plans, Language for personal understanding Were we to visit the Orient, stopping off at a small eastern seaport in China, we might well see two men, one Chinese and the other Japanese, carry- ing on a non-verbal convers- ation with one another. We might see hands flying in ail different direction, lips curl, slant downward and lift up- ward in an occasional smile. We might watcb them as one writes down a series of ideographs which are com- monly understood by both men representing two separ- ate countries. They are barter trading, a very important function to their livelihood, and one in which proper understanding is vital and the lack thereof very frustrating. We do not hear then express much verbally, for while Japanese and Chinese use the same ideographic system and can be to a limited extent, mutually understood, their spoken tongues are miles apart leaving communication between them to gestural language or the occasional written "word." On the international scene, communication between peo- pies speaking different langu- ages is even more difficult. The problem is to some degree helped by multi-lingualism but not by any means solved. The importance of having it solved cannot be overemphas- ized for international under- standing is vital to world peace, the conservation of natural resources, cultural exchange, trading, freedom and human acceptance giving itself over to universal co-oper ation. The North American Indian developed a system of sign language wbich they used effectively to communicate with tribes speaking different By Carole Ordonez languages. There are some systems of non-verbal co- munication used by deaf- mutes which likewisé do not require the spelling out of previously understood words, but rather, like the Japanese and Chinese languages, con- vey ideas and could therefore be used internationally. One obvious drawback bere is that gestural communication with the hands does not leave them free for other things, some- thing which verbal commun- ication does. Regardless of what system for international understand- ing. is used, the development of it would require some form of linguistic communication prior to its creation. Since there are some 2,796 languag- es currently being spoken on our "small" world, the scope of the problems connected with a universal language for mutual understanding are every bit as many as there are languages. Because no human civiliza- tion is possible without some form of communication, there are currently internationally minded individuals working very hard to solve the prob- lems associated with language barriers. Watching the scient- ists create a mutually under- standable language in sym- bols, it is not surprising that it has been suggested to use 4 code of glyphs or visual symbols for international un- derstanding at world gather- ings. Gestural language such as is used by the Boy Scouts International has also been considered. A non-verbal system seems to be favoured by many even though such a system requires visual con- tact between peoples, with the exception of a written system. The drawback with a written system is that it is time consuming and slow for spon- taneous "conversation". Perhaps, in the end, there will be developed a system such as was used by the two orientals at the seaport, an effective and meaningful two- part system consisting of both mutualiy understood written ideographs as well as a complete vocabulary of gest- ural language. The outcome of an ability to communicate freely one with the other will tend to bring peoples of different countries together in a common goal of World Peace. Next: Language for Personal Understanding. and with a concern for the future of our communties did I come to the conclusion that exclusion of these municipal- ities would flot be in the interests ofthe local commun- ities. My position is based on a number of factors including the following: a) The need for a larger economic base than that provided by the county system b) 'the need to ensure the proper location and type of industry for local communit- ies. c) The need to ensure employ- ment opportunities at the local level. d) Tbe need to ensure a buffer green belt between the dia- mond triangle area and the growth area to the west. e) The need for the communit- ies of the Diamond triangle to be in a position to control the urban sprawl from the west. f) The need for amalgamation in order to stop the competit- ion for industrial and comm- ercial assessment between municipalities. h) The need to restore to the greatest degree possible local autonomy which has been eroded over the years because of the înability of small municipalities to finance their needs. i) The need to control the growing tendency for the communities of the diamond triangle to become dormitor- ies for the industrial commun- ities to the west. The zeal for systematic progress has marked the whole history of Ontario and with the restructuring of municipal government, an- other step is being taken to ensure a sound, social and economic future within a viable democratic framework Alex Carruthers KENDAL EAGLES DEFEAT PORT HOPE 9-2 The Kendal Eagles took an easy victory on Sundau behind the pitching of Paul Jones for six innings and three innings by Chas.
