But we are faced with a realistic problemn, if not todaV. ini the near future. Like many' of our non-renewable resources oil and gas hias 4een takeiï for granted. The thought has been that the suppiy is unlinited and as long as we are flot personally inconvenienced the devastation of the resources can continue. In recent years however, we have corne to learn that natural resources have a limit. The Great Lakes can, only consume a certain amount of sewage, thé streamns and waterj sources cari only stand limited tampering and nature itself canniotw%ýithstanid an uwçontrolled devastation by man. Thei fossil fuels are also limited and it is quite likely that this generation through want and waste bas dipped into the resources of future generations. We are borrowing from the future to continue the life of "Riley" today. The fuel crisis in Canada is not only a form of shock1 treatmnent over supply but couid well e ter the political stage. At present the province of Aberta is at logger beads witb tbe Federal government over oul policy and sale. It couldt resuit that the fuel problem will bring to the forefront a great constitutional batfle. For years we bave contended tbat too much autbority1 was Ieaving the federal governiment and being taken by the provinces. On national issues tbe Federal government miust retain control and be able to goveru on a national scale. A resident of Newfoundland is as much a Canadian as is one in Alberta, Ontario or lritichi Columbia and is entitled to ail the benefits of this nation and this includes its natural resources. We in Ontario bave throughi a federal scheme of re-adjustments bave contributed financially to other provinces over the years and altboughi we do not favour an eye for an eye we do con end that the policy of ail Canadians sharing in our vaste wealth is proper. The federal governmnent and this includes ail parties, must see that all Canadians do beniefitalike in this nation. * ATTNTIONFARMERS08!

Lyall included) an an- nual salary of ten thousand dollars, as members of the regional Council of the newly formed Region of Durham. In bis attempt, Mr. Iyall makes several comparisons between the Regional Govern- ment and the Northumnberland Durham County Board o Education systems - to this I take exception. The County Board of Educ- ation systein is foreilinner to the Regional system of govern ment both being set Up structurally the same, with the exception that the Board of Education is a one tier system whiie the Region bas both municipal and regional coun- cillors, or in other words is a two tier system. in both cases the areas were divided into wards for the purpose of representation and elections, botb have chairmen - the B3oard of Education chairman, being elected from the trustee membership by the trustees, the Regionai chairman being, appointed by the Provincial Government. In both cases the role of the councillor or trustee is meant to be that of a policy maker - not one of a nuts and boîts sorter. If this is; not so, then for what reason do both groups employ a large ý number of highly professional and experienced people to administer the system.
