' ears concentration &fpower (Continued from page 1) produced. She said the liberals were not against the use of the government planes but did want to know under what circumstances they are used. "We think this is of public interest". • In speaking of the Planning legislation now before the house Mrs. Campbell stated that the Liberals have been fighting for such legislation for years, especially in the Niagara Escarpment. This, she said, is important to the whole of the Province. When the legislation came before the house it was frightening, she said. We are not told, even in general terms what it is all about nor does it contain any plan or zoning, she said. She stated without zoning controls there can be abuse of the legislation. The scheme also give the government the right to supercede local plans and local people will have nothing to say. Again she said, local autonomy is being eroded. In speaking of the Green belt area it appeared as il someone said "we must have a green belt area" and as a result such an area was drawn on the map and in places it is only the width of a highway.

Education, television, also came under fire by Mrs. Campbell who said that out of a budget of $13,000,000 only $3,000,000 goes into production She said there was a need for ETV in the classroom, as well as for the open college and university. This we agree she said. But look at how it is being used. "It is a dangerous thing if used for political reasons", she stated. ETV should be separated from government, she said. nhe said that while the Premier's personal office ex- penses had risen by one million $, the administration had to economize - and did so by knocking $5. off the per diem rate for the people who served the members of the House while in session. According to Mrs. Campbell the government's transition from the old heath plan to the new one brought many expect- ed problems which resulted in $50. million in premiums that had been "given away, lost or forgotten." Of course, they had to economize, she said, so in the middle of the term they cut off the stipends to such students as those in pharmacy and raised fees for student nurses. Luckily, she added, the Liber- als had the stipends renewed. "They always have to at- tack the weakest group in the system to economize", she concluded. On the subject of education Mrs. Campbell pointed to the "no limit" policy of education- al funds when Mr. Davis was minister of education. While the MPP is not for runaway educational costs, she said that there were 13 and 14-year olds in theý present educational system that had perceptual difficulties as a result of a flaw somewhere . She explained that as such children would probably end up in correctional institutions, she'd rather see the dollars go into education. Mrs. Campbell concluded her presentation with the thought that very little inform- ation on the Liberal caucus and its actions was ge.tting to the Durham Association, and thus urged its members to write to the provincial assoc- iation.

CPR's first witness *John Nunan, a professional engin- eer, and geologist, told the board the site had been picked after an intense search thro- ughout an area within a 200 mile radius of Metro. While citing soil conditions and the direction of the natural flow of streams in the area as important consider- ations in the choice of the site, Mr. Nunan said the fact that Ontario Hydro owns or has options on 1,500 acres south of the proposed site, was also an im portant consideration. Mr. Nunan candidly admitt- ed that a proposed Hydro generating station would also likely be opposed by citizen groups and that both projects would benefit from close proximity to each other - rather than residential areas. The Hydro si-te has not yet been approved bv the province Mr. Nunan said proximity to a major generating station was an additional reason for choosing this site. NO DAMAGE CITED He unveiled maps, drawings and a scale model to show the audience of over 100 how CPR's proposal would not affect three streams running through the site. Two areas within the 500 acres would be uséd for dumping, totalling approxi- mately 260 acres, he told The Times. The largest of the three streams would flow between the two actual fill sites, while the other two springs, which all flow south, are south of the two filling areas and would not flow through them. Most of the large number of trees on the site would also be spared as they follow the stream beds or are in the southern portion of the 500 acres, which will not be used for actual filling operation, he said. Ravines within the site Lamrence regrets I(Continued from page 1) if they had a Canadian or British form of government, the Watergate business would have been over and dealt with months ago. It is very important to have as the Head of State a person who is removed¯ from pôlificaf con troversy, and who is a constant, unchanging image, no matter what scandals or political changes may occur. Furthermore, the Monarchy is the lynch-pin of the Com- monwealth. And in the Com- monwealth we have essential- ly, already in working form, what the United Nations has been trying to achieve on a world wide basis and with onlv marginal success for almost 30 years. The Commonwealth has great deal to offer its members, particularly in the area of mutual trade arrange- ments and international ag- reements, he said. So what can we do to stop and reverse the erosion? I beleive the responsibility lies partly with our government, but perhaps even more so with the Royal Family itself. I would respectfully suggest that if the Monarchy is to have any real meaming in Canada today -- or any meaning at all in the future -- then we are going to have to see a lot more of the Monarch, and in a much more meaningful role to Canadians, than has been the case until now. If the Queen is indeed the Queen of Canada, then why should she not be present in person for the opening, if nlot of each session of Parliament, then certainly for the opening of each new Parliament? That is one way in which ahi Canadians could see ber in action fulfilling ber actual role as the head of our system of government. will also be left untouched. Except for a small parcel of farmland in the eastern sect- ion of the site, Mr. Nunan said most of the site would be classed 4P, which is a class of land "with sever limitations for agricultural purposes." The engineer-geologist said wells would not be affected by the landfill .site. The water table is below the level at which the garbage pile would be started and since the water runs from the northwest corner of the site to the south-east corner, wells north of the site wouldn't be affected and there are no wells immediately south of it, he argued. Even further south is the area where Ontario Hydro is proposing to build an oil-pow- ered generating station. Mr. Nunan also went to great lengths to point out that ditches would be installed to catch any runoff of contam- inated water and any runoffs would be monitored. BUFFER PLANNED A buffer would be built to block the site of operation from motorists on Highway 401, which is the northern boundary of the site. CPR is not creating a mountain of garbage, stressed Mr. Nunan. He told the board that the highest elevation in the fill areas will be 85 feet, and that an exisiting hill to the south is higher than this. Replying to a question from the audience, he said CPR would maintain the dumping year round and the "largest tractors ever built" would find little problem with moving the debris brought out from Tor- onto in the winter. The board was told the train cars coming from Toronto will be fully enclosed. A spur railine would be built Area owners (Continued from page 1) some strong measures. Mr. Lawrence Hooey who also rents land in the Mosport area had campers invade the property knocking down a fence as well as destroying a considerable amount of stand- ing hay. Similar damage was also created on the property owned by Mr. J. Marvin of the Mosport area. Mr. MacKay stated he was concerned with the attitude and the non-concern of people who do damage and make use of others property. He felt that people must become concern- ed over such action before it becomes too general. Council is to consider the destruction at their next meeting. Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, June 2Utn, im9T Students at work in Durham 87 students in Durham County have been assigned summer employment through around the perimeter of both actual dumping sites, with the spur line moving inward as the outer edge of the fill sites are completed. CPR's tentative agreement with Metro calls for the site to be used for 15 years. It would then be used for a recreation facility. the Ontario Youtn and Action Program The students will be occupi- ed in a number of programs and in various locations throughout the County.
