2--ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY. JULY 18th. 1973 orono weekly ti mes, Second klass Mail Registration Nilmber 6368 Publislied every Thursday at the office of publication THE PRICE 0F GREATNESIS Often Canadians tend to look at their great neighbour south of the border withi a inge of envy. Salaries seemn higher, consumer goods and housing cheaper. Canada is a large land, but not a superpower like the United States. Yet the privilege of living in the world's wealthiest nation is also a great one. Crime is just one instance of how much more fortunate Canadian city dwellers are in comparison to their American neighbours. A recent poil showed that one person in three living in US. big centre city areas has been the victim of some kind of crime in the past year. And one in five living in the suburbs has been assaulted, burgled or seen property vandalized during the same period. Fear of crime has become a fact of urban and suburban life. Prodded both by concern and fear. Americans are snendine enormous sums for public and private policies--about $8.7 billion annually according to a Rand Corporation study. 0f about 800,000 security personnel in the country, only 50 percent are public police. In New YOrk, for instance, private security men outnumber public police 40,000 to 30,000. Canada with vast open spaces and fewer high density urban areas. is a lucky country -- whose citizens do not -- so far, at least - have to cope with the grave problem facing Americans. The Watergate scandal is merely a sympt om of a disease that has infected too many segments of the community -- the belief that nothinig is quite as important as money. United Church of Canada THEY AGREED ON ONE THING Thos attending the Ontario Hydro meeting from Clarke Township on Monday evening in Hampton agreed on one thing and that "In no way do they want to have the transmission lines cross Clarke". But the audience'knew this was an impossible dream and that the line will become a reality sometime in the near future. Its location as it travels across Clarke was possibly the main purpose of the meeting but the major portion of discussion was centred around individual concerns. It would have been impossible for the group to agree upon one or the other route. Stan Chapman made an effort to suggest that route 'C' be change but hie found he was then placing on the farm of James Lowery who certainly objected. Definitely the final decision mnust be made by Hydro using their expertise and that of their consultants. The meetings possibly are an exercise in demnocracy and no doubt their is some good input from the general public but it must certainly be like lookinig for a few Kernels of grain in a stack of chaff. Hydro has allowed to August 8th for further inp ut by the public and early in September they will issue their final proposai to the public. The meeting on Monday was certainly an education and not unlike the province asking the municipalities to decide themselves on the formation of a regional set-up. THe Province finally settled the issue as everyone judged according to their own personal interests. PT. PERRY OKS WELL CONTRACT Port Perry intends to make sure it will not have to face another drought. Council has accepted the tender of International Water Supply at $9w,910, to instaîl two new wells for the public water system. Earlier this year the pump at the main village well broke down, leaving most of the village residents without water for two days. The village will also spend *PLAN NOW, TO ATTEND M' MOSESo 0 0 A Musical e * Play * b Chas.

In Orono the development of a second well is being held up due to property entanglement. The second well is to be placed on what is described as an unopened portion of a road allowance, the fif th concession in the area of theOrono Mill Pond. The Ontario Water Resources Commission will not move on the project which has been approved until a deed can be furnished to the Commission. The Municipal- ity has officially losed this portion of rond and is now awaiting a proper survey of the property in order to prepare a clear and proper deed.' The capacity of this well is expected to be considerably more than the present existing well at the north of the Village. The price to develop the well was in the neighbourhood of $60.000.00ý FAIR BREAKING ALL RECORDS FOR ATTENDANCE The Oshawa and District Fair is alive, and well and living it up in Alexandra Park - its attendance records smashed and its directors delighted despite a deluge >of bad publiciy from city council on the eve of its opening.

Friday's turnout of 10,,624 was 2,300 higherthan last year and was probably a record too, said Joe Snowden, president of the fair board.
