He also believes that the marsh plays an important role in the lake fisheries.

The ôperating commitee of Region wants politicians By an overwhelming 26-3 vote, regional council Wed- nesday approved a motion asking the province to recon- sider its position of not permitting a majority of elected persons to serve on police commisions. While the advocates of the motion agree with the prin- ciple of the people who pay should have the say; the lone apponent durîng debate ont he motion stated that politics and policing shouldn't mix as happens in the United States. Coun. Alan Dewar (Osha- wa), who brought the motion before couicil last wee k, the same day as the Durham' police budget of $5.4 million, said Wedniesday the budget's size represented a legitimate concern. Two of the police commis- sioners are regional council- lor-S. The other three - a judge and two citizens, are appoint- ed by the province. Coun. Deware said he found it incredible to remove that amount ($5.4 million) from our control. The region is charged by thé province, through the Dur- ham Act with responsibilities of providing services in the spheres of public works facil- ities, social benefits, and planning. The province does not feel Parkwood thought they would give it a try for this season, he added. The recommendation from the opeating committee stem- med from the Parkwood group's last meeting with the city committee. As the city has been assisting in the financial operations of the Parkwood estate for the past three years, it was thought that the city's taxpayers should re- ceive something in return for the almost $1 per capita amount Parkwood receives from the city. I just hope it works, said Aid. Pewar of the scheme to open up the grounds. on boa rd WATER MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT ON FARMS While spring fed streams and flowing wells have been a matter of satisfaction to farmers, the characterisitics of somne of these sources of supply have changed over the years, many of the changes being for the worst. As more land. is put under intensive agricultural production, water management is becom- ing a increasing concern to farmers, conservationists and ecologists. Traditionally, good water management was the lower government level as competent to deal with a police budget, said Coun. Dewar. STRONG PLEA Coun. Jim Potticary (Osh- awa) lead a solitary impas- sioned plea against involving polities in the administration of police services. This country was built on strong law enforcement.. he told council and it'should not be deviated by politicians. Coun. Des Newman (Whit- by) remided Coun. Potticary that the one person at the top of the entire police structure in the province - the attorney general is a politici4n. Coun. Gordon Attersley (Oshawa) said Canada should not tamper with its m-iddle of the road status regarding polciing and politics. To what end are we trying to>pursue here? asked Coun. Garnet Rickard (Newcastle). Althought he felt police commissions are effective bodies and- wondered if a majority of elected people serving on commissions could reAlly control costs, his opin- ioni was that the region should ask thec province to bear agreater share of the cost. The province will give Durham about $2 million in grants' this year for policîng based on a rate of $9 per capita. Coun. Dewar disagreed with'that suggestion because as has happened in the educaiton field, as the money has gone, so has the control. suilucate. "o i uttuewater and crops became parched and often died. But increasingly farmers are realizing water management incompases much more& Water flow changes as more land is used in crop production. Lower water tables can resuit from improved fiel.d drainage, sn- ce better drainage reduces the amount of water in the ground water system. Inten- sively cultivated land has pastures containing low wet spots and ponds. Also,'water quality changes, mlore sed- iment is present, obnoxious c hemicals or harmful plant growths appear more fre- quently. Attention should be focused on farming practices that might create pollution problems. Land and waste treatment practices should be thoroughly be examined by the farm owner for obvious sources of pollutants and corrections made.

A meeting Thursday broke off with both sides claiming nothing had been settled. Ken Hooper, president of the local representing about 400 workers, said he'll decide next week .what steps the union will take. No further meetings have been set up. Jack Taylor, plant manager for Goodyear, said There was no progress whatever, It was a very short meeting. Mr. Taylor denied reports the company was preparing to lockout workers April 25, the first day the union could legally go on strike. ACCORDING TO Mr. Hoo- per Lave King, a spokesman tor management, told somne workers Wednesday that the plant would be shut down April 25. Mr. Hooper said he assumed this meant the company was going to lock- out the employees. When asked about this at the bargaining meeting Thurs day Mr. Taylor denied the comrpany had any plans to locak out the workers. , A cniito report giving the go-ahead for strike «action if deemed necessary- was received April 8 by the union. The union, said Mr. Hooper, will have made a choice of what action to take before April 25. Both sides, however, hoped another meeting would be set up next week. Mr. Taylor said both sides were very far apart. According to the union president, the main stumbling block appears to be the union request for a cost of living clause. Mr.Hlooper said this proposal wouldn't be chang- ed. He claimed the company1 told the union it had nothing to offer ar tne meeting Thurs- day. He said the company has refused to discuss the cost of living proposal even though they admit prices are incre- asing at a rapid rate and alsc refuse to discuss anything else until the union drops it demand for the clause. The meeting Thursday kept the two parties miles apart according to Mr. Hooper. He claimed the comrpany is just playing games. It's nonsense.
