A Hope Township woman told an environe- mental board hearing here yesterday that if the ministry of the environment apprôves an application by CPR for a certificate of approval to permit a 500-acre landfill site in Hope Township on land zoned as agricultural, Canadians will no longer be able to pick the environment they want to live in. Mary Murray, of Concession 1, told the three-man board that "Up until now", Canadians have had a free choice of living environment and this right was protected by landfill site under fire Allan Lawrence speaking to the Port Hope Rotary Club on Monday referred to the visit of the Queen to the area next week and to the opportunity to express his views on the monarchy. "This is a matter about which I feel deeply, for I am unabasbedly and unashame- dley a Monarchist," he said. The Monarch is very much more'than the person whose picture is on our postage stamps, and should mean more to us than one who visits here every few years and is seen on television shaking uinds with all the local '_olitical bigwigs. Our Mon- arcb, - Queen Elizabeth the Second, is in title and in fact the Queen of Canada, and as such she is one of the mainstays of our systems of government and law and order. What concerns me he said, is the growing indifference toward the Monarchy among the younger generations in Canada. That word, indiffer- ence, can be a rather danger- ous, one, I grant you. It was not so many years ago that, Joyce Davidson was summar- ily fired from the CBC television network because e expressed the opinion that ost Canadians were indif- erent to a Royal Tour. If a person in a similar position was to make the same stat ement today, I am not sure that it would not pass almost without notice. He said,"I personally regret this trend and I hope you share my sentiments". "Indeed, I strongly believe that we should try to do something about it, something positive Personally, I have seen enough of government here and in other parts of the world to appreciate that our form of government, operating under a constitutional monarch, is the best form available today. Republicanism offers some advantages, but it also has some very grave disadvant- ages, as Americans are dis- covering at the present time. It is perhaps a bit ironic to hear American political com- mentators pontificating that, (Continued page 3) Potential candidates for the position of local or regional councillor will have to wait for a provincial decision before discovering whether they will be campaigning under a ward ,ystem or a municipality wide vote in seven of the eight municipalities in the proposed Regional Municipality of Dur- ham. The bill now before the Legislature specifies that Oshawa will elect its 10 councillors under a ward system while the other seven municipalities would elect their representatives in a "general vote of the electors Area owners face property vandalism Local property owners in the Mosport area are report- ing damage to the property and crops following the Can- Am race at Mosport recently. It appears that wilful damage was quite extensive by spect- ators who had no regard for fences or crops as they camped outside Mosport in fields and wooded areas. Mr. S. MacKay reports a new fence cut in three different places as well as the destruction of gates and the littering of beer bottles in pasture land. The gates he states were padlocked but this did not stop people from lifting the gates off the hinges and making entrance onto private property. The fields were also travelled by cars and motor bikes which did considerable damage to crops. Mr. MacKay states there seems very little one can do under the circumstances for one person can hardly evict upwards of ten people without (Continued page 3) of the area municipality". The bill though would give Treasurer John White author- ity to divide into wards any of the seven municipalities. In at least three cases, this is likely to happen. The new Town of Newdastle and the Townsbips of Scugog and Brock will each be created by the amalgamation of four existing municipalities. Because of the blocks of population spread here and there throughout the new municipalities, the province is likely to create a ward system to ensure ail areas of the new muncipalities are represented Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 20, 1973 A. Beer, president Durham liberals Allan Beer, a former liberal candidate in Durham, was elected president of the Dur- ham liberal Association at a meeting in Orono with about fifty present.

He said "The Conservatives are helping us". He stated that the membership and the execut- ive must work for an active party and with everyone working this can be a fact, he said. Industrial lans tota 1$650OOO. Ontario Development Cor- poration loans totalling over $650,000 have been authorized during the past season to a number of industries in Bow manville, Newcastle, Orono and Cobourg. In a press release from Queen's Park Alex Carruthers MPP Durham stated the loans reflect the rapid development taking place in the lakeshore communties in comparison with other areas of the Province. Over $230,000 went to in- dustries in Bowmanville which witha large industrial park is expanding very rapid ly; $92,000 to industry in Orono; $20,000 to Newcastle industry and $304,000. to a number of industries in Co- bourg. Hope places decision in hands of council Sevénty-five residents of Hope Township came to no decision on where the Town- ship should go due to the Counties being split-up over Regional government to the west of their municipality. The residents left the matter in the bands of their council headed by Reeve Howard Quantrill. Newcastle Municipality have four on region Legislation establishing the Durham Region was introduc- ed in the Legislature Wednes- day relatively unchanged from last month's proposal by the government. Several items disputed by Oshawa council were left intact. The 10 western lots of Darlington Township remain apart from the city in the Newcastle municipality. The eastern boundary of Durham is the Clarke-Hope Township line, which excludes Port Hope and Cobourg from the region. Durham will have a two-tier government. Eacb of the eight muncipalities - Oshawa, Ajax,. Newcaslte, Pickering, Whitby Brock, Scugog, and Uxbridge, will have its own council. Both Newcastle and Picker- ing will send three councillors to Durham council as well as the mayors of each, which Whitby will have two repre- sentatives plus the mayor. All municipalities other than Oshawa will have six local councillors. The Municipality of New- castle may be split into wards so as to ensure an even distribution of representation. It is noted that Newcastle is to have a local council of six councillors and Mayor. i-oward Quantrill did say that Hope could join the Durham region but not at this time nor without the Town of Port Hope. He said this had been revealed at a meeting at Queen's Park. Mr. Alex Carruthers also stated at the meeting that the door would be open for Hope to join the Durham region. Councillor George Stapleton stated that he was not in favour with amalgamation with Port Hope as Hope had always been skinned in deal ings with Port Hope. It was stated that if Hope petitioned to go to the west it might encourage further the break-up of the remaining portion of the United Counties. Councillor Gray said Port Hope was looking for amal- gamation with Hope Township as Port Hope was bursting at the seams now. Gray did not favour any link with Peter- borough. There appeared a desire for the Township to remain rural in nature. happenings... RETURN HARNESS OR PICK UP HORSE - Mrs. Glenn Tennant reports five sets of harness stolen at the horse barns at the Orono Fairgrounds last week-end. Either return the harness or pick-up the horse, she asks, as the horses need to be trained. This is not the first time harness bas been stolen from the horse barns.

The Cobourg proposal was too dictatorial stated members of the Hamilton council. It was further 'stated that it was a denial of natural justice. They don't seem to have concern for their adjacent municipalities or to be in step with them or conversant with them, stated Reeve Gordon Carruthers of. Hamilton Township. Hamilton Township did how- ever recommend that the Reeve's committee of the United Counties consider all proposal for restructuring of the remaining portion of the United Counties. Deputy-Reeve Russell re- commended a one-tier form of government for the remaining portion of the United Counties. Mrs. Maragaret Campbell, MPP for' St. George's in Toronto in speaking at the annual meeting of the Durham County Liberal Association in Orono last week spoke of her fear of the mrounting power being stablished at Queen's Park. Repeatedily she spoke of the concentration of power being mounted in Toronto by the Conservative government. She also said it was a fearful experience to prepare a speech and giveîit in the house with only three members of the party in power in attend- ance. She also condemned the Conservative for the waste of time in rally their forces when a vote is to be taken, many times up to an hour and a half, she said. Mrs. Campbell stated that the Liberals had asked for Auditors General report on the use of Governrent airplanes and since receiving this report have asked for the log book which to date has not been (Continued page 3) Amost interesting exhibition of water colours, oil and' drawings are now on display at the Clarke public Library in Orono.

A visit to the library to view this display is well worth the time.

Oron eepme VOLUME 37, NULMBER23 Lawrence regrets trend from monarchy Province could decide to use ward system laws. She told the board that if the ministry approved the application, in effect, "overruling the zoning placed on the land by Hope Township, this free choice would disappear. Her short, but pointed presentation wrapped up the testimohy at the first day of the hearing CPR had already presented its case in the form of its "philosophy", a prepared statement read by solicitor Eric De Mont, and by calling two technical witnesses.
