2--ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY l8th, 1973 orono weekly times Second Class Mail Registration Number 6368 Published every Thursday at the office of publication METRIC MEMO ..Ed Finn, research director of Brotherhood of Railway Workers, recently came out with this: A miss is as good as 1.6 kilometers. 28.4 grams of prevention is worth 453.6 grams of cure. Give him 2.5 centimeters and he'll take 1.6 kilometers. I wouldn't touch him with a 3-meter pole. Don't hide your light under a 38-liter basket. The Texan wore a 38-liter hat. There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked 1.6 kilometers. TAKING NO CHANGES Ontario Hydro is certainly taking no chances With John "Q" public over the location of its transmission line between Lennox and Oshawa. It is about to hold, as it promised last winter, its second round of public meetings in regards the 400 to 600 foot right-away it is to purchase across this portion of the Province. Hydro ran into oppostion in its first attempt in locating the right-away. It then took its problem to the people and in a manner, placed the decision in the hands of the public. Actually there are but a few alternatives as the line must go through due to incieased development in southern Ontario. No matter where the corridor is established the land and scenery will be marred but at least the people have had a say and as pointed out this say has been consistant throughout the one hundred mile stretch of the line. Man in the first place cleared the land to survive and now clutters it up to continue to survive. IN CONCEALING, MITCHELL REVEALED John Mitchell, the former U.S. attorney-general, did a stout job of protecting President Nixon in his testimony before the Senate Watergate committee this week. He insisted that he had taken it upon himself to shield the president from knowledge of what he called "The.White House horrors", and at the same time intimated that his own faults had been modest, mere sins of omission, compared to the criminal acts and foul tactics that members of the presidential staff engaged in. Yet in taking this line of defence for his old chief, Mitchell could not but reveal the astonishing degree of partisan bias and ethical blindness that he had brought to the high office which he quit just before the scandal broke. Here was the former chief law officer of the United States admitting that he had countenanced perjury and payment of hush money to the Watergate criminal defendants in order to ensure the re-election of the president. What he would not countenance, he said, was "anything that would stand in the way of that re-election". Well, almost anything; when pressed, he said he would draw the line at '"treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors" - grounds for impeachment of the president under the American constitution. This former attorney-general obviously believed in upholding the constitution and enforcing laws impartially only so far as these things did not conflict with political expediency. He admitted there was no constitutional basis for his withholding of information about White House criminal activites from the president. His testimony, and earlier evidence of John Dean, show clearly that the Nixon administration chose to enforce the law leniently or not at all against its friends, harshly and vindictively against its enemies. Even if no "high crimes and misdemeanor proved' against President Nixon, the stain of( corruption will linger on his government. John Mitcl put it there and cannot now erase it. ........................... Mr. Forrester Editor of Orono Times In regards to your write up in the Orono Times of July l1th you state Mr. Don Tennant has started a parking lot on Church St. south, which is incorrect. He parks his won trucks and road equipment. Mr. Lloyd Taylor also parks his trucks and road equipment on the rear of his lot on Mill St. north also a residental area. Mr. H. Barlow, H. Hooev and F. Stacey keep horses in a Residental area. Mr. A. Van Den Heuvil one of the object- ors of Mr. Tennant parking his equipment has a dog kennel on the rear of his lot also a residental area. The Library board, has a parking lot on centre street also residential area. Why not be fair and treat all taxpayers or residents equal.

Probably one of the high- lights of the week was the chance the delegates had for a short question and answer period with the Honourable William A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture for Ontario. Although the main proposed purpose of the conference was to teach each delegate more about leadership. I think each delegate learned more about themselves and others than about leadership. Captial Grant Ceiling Announced ..It has been announced that there will be a yearly limit of $10 million dollars, beginning this year. on the Capital Grants program in Ontario. Any grant applied for after the $10 million dollar ceiling is reached this year, will be held over until the next fiscal year. If you are planning to apply this year, you may want to do it before the end of the year. Farm Classification Meetings The Farm Classification Advisory committee recently appointed by the Hon. Wm. Stewart, Minister of Agricul- ture and Food will be holding public meetings. The committ ee under the Chairmanship of Edward Cowell, will study and make recommendations on the feasibility of classifvine farms, types of farms or farm operations and the application of such a system of classific- ation to Ontario Legislation affecting farms. These public meetings will be an opportun- ity for anyone interested in presenting their views and their theory on it. One of the meetings will be held at Lindsay on Thursday August 2nd at 7:30 p.m. in the Province of Ontario building, 322 Kent St. W., Other meetings will be at Belleville on Wednesday, August 22nd at 7.30 p.m. at the Sun Valley Motor Inn, 407 Front Street.

Industry, Trade and Com- merce Minister Alastair Gilles- pie said "the strength of our economy in the years ahead will depend to a large extent on the progress and growth of small business in Canada. We want to assist that growth." CONFERENCE ON WESTERN ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES On July 24-26, Calgary will be the site of the Conference on Western Economic Oppor- tunities - one of the most important federal-provincial meetings in history. Justice Minister Otto Lang said recently in Regina "the Conference I predict, will be of major national significance, and I believe it can, with an honest and sincere approach, alter the course of our coun- try's history as it relates to Western Canada and the as- pirations of western people." ROYAL VISIT Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip will be back in Canada at the end of the month, for a five-day visit to the National Capital Region. They will stay at the residence of Governor General and Mrs. Michener. The Queen's official func- tions will include the opening of the Lester B. Pearson Build- ing, the pew home of the Department of External Af- fairs and she will officially receive Heads of Government who will be attending the. Commonwealth Conference in Ottawa, August 2 - 10. EXPORT CONTROLS The federal gôvernment has extended its export controls to additional agricultural pro- ducts such as edible oils, ani- mal fats and livestock feeds. These controls, announced by Industry, Trade and Com- merce Minister Alastair Gilles- pie, come 10 days after the imposition of export controls on soybeans, flaxseed, rape- seed, linseed, fishmeal and their by-products. These ac- tions have been taken to pre- serve Canadian supplies for domestic use. TAX FORMS NOT DIFFICULT A recent Gallup Poil ie- ports that 54% of those sur- veyed had no difficulty in coping with the new 1972 income tax forms. Only 17% reported they found them difficult, while 29% felt that they were fairly difficult. This would seem to contra- dict Opposition suggestions at the time that "harassed tax- payers" need more time to complete the new forms. Land from road closing up for sale to adjacent owners Council of the Township of Clarke at their recent meeting requested that the clerk ad- vise the Committee of Adjust- ment that Council could not contemplate improving> the north portion of the sideroad between lot 16 and 17 in the seventh concession. Mr. J. E. Carscadden has requested a severance for his property in this area. Mr. Doug Tideman of Ontar- io Hydro has been requested by Council to prepare an estimate on the capital cost of erecting street lights for a section -of the Leskard road just north of the Taunton Road. Council has called a special meeting of Council when they will discuss problems with affected parties in regards problems resulting from e- vents being held at Mosport. Council is now offering for sale those portions of roads closed up by by-law 1740. Adjoining owners may pur- chase this land at $400.00 an acre plus a portion of the costs of closing the roads. Reeve Woodyard presented a letter from Mr. W. Hawke of R.R. 2 Orono in which thr writer opposes any move to reduce the speed limit to 35 miles an hour on the Leskard road within the sixth conces- sion. Council also gave approval in principal for an agree- ment to set-up between the Township and Mr. Maurice Pedwell in order that Mr. Pedwell could make sale of 24 building lots from his farm in concession 2. Mr. Pedwell would assume the cost of constructing the side road to a standard acceptable for sub- sidy by the Ministry of Transportation and Commun- ications and other authorities having jurisdiction over such matters. Deputy-Reeve Kirk Ent- wisle informed council that the Road Committe was preparing a recommendation for Council that applicants for entrance culverts now be the responsibility of the applicant. Council at 4heir' meeting passed two by-laws in which they call for the re-zoning of properties owned by Mr. Jan O'Chonski. Both by-laws were given three readings and passed by couneil. One by-law rezones 72 acres of land from agriculture to RR category thereby permitting a rural residential development. The property is the south part of lot 33,in concession 5. The second by-law affects 10 acres in lot 29, concession 5 which is being requested to be rezoned from Agriculture to a Ri category. This property is just west of Orono at the north.
