I am, of course referring specifically to highway 115, which has taken just a few too many lives to suit our times of ingenius technology. But how many lives must be forfeited before our provincial heads will do something about it? What they seem to be overlooking is the fact that it's always the local person who gets the bad end of the deal. It's neyer the other guy. And the sad part is the most that will ever happen to the accident instigators, will be the loss of their license, a few demerit points, or maybe a small fine. Would manslaughter charges be too much to give? It's a well known fact that a risk is being taken in doing almost anything these days, but something should, and can be done to control those risks. "Joyriding" is a great sport, as long as you only intend to kili yourself. It's when another person's life is învolved that it no longer becomes your business. Alas! I hear rumors of a petition cîrculating to lower the speed limait on the highway to at least 50 m.p.h. or even 45 m.p.h. through particular areas. Mr. Davis and friends please take heed! There are many, many ways in which a person may leave this world, and when rny number cornes up, please let it corne naturally! RAVE THE QUESTIONS BEEN ANSWERED? Just as wild rice grows in water, Max Rice grows in the New Town of Newcastle. He takes with him, bis brother, his son, and his lawyer everywhere he goes. And behind thern they leave a trail of discussion. Spence Meecham, représentative of the Bendix Home Systems, and the homes for this park, wonders why this is so. If it were an apartment building with less square footage Per unit than the mobile homes, and a height beyond regulatioii, he says the people would make no objections. Mr. Meechan should realize that there will always be someone wio is willing to protest something new, especially in a farm community. Rumors have been driftîng, about the situations within the development, but Max Rice denies any funny business between himself and his lawyerK He says Mr. Lovekin does own 25 acres of land on the site, but the deal for purchase has flot yet gone through. Besides, he says, what would be Wrorig if our lawyer did own some of the land? According to"Mr. Rice, he met Mr. Lovekin quite by chance when looking for a local solicitor to, buy the developing land. He assures that the "dia> Udt r 1,alfkio commenced atter their contract was made. What the villages of Orono and Newcastle really need are lots of Young people to keep the place going, do we really want 2,000 old people living in our commnunity? Rice says he hopes his son David will continue on the business when the tirne cornes. And who knows? Maybe max' Rice wij be living in a retiremnent park himnself somedayi. A lot of people cali life "The Survival of the Fittest" Yolu knowl. a lot of people are right. àaP4ia 1 1 EDITOR: ORONO WEEKLY TIMES As the writer of the com- ments for the Planning Advis- ory Committee, Town of Newcastle,' for an application for the severance of a lot for a house of one of the owners of Ceresmore Farms Limited, may I state that 1 believe that the pertinent planning docu- ments do allow such sever- ance. I saw this land in detail before writing the comments to the Land Divisioni Commit- tee. The nature of the'chang- ing hill topography, and the fact that thereare trees on the site, determined the pîacing and size of the lot; and meant that the house site would not reduce the total arable and productive acreage of the whole farm. This is nota case of a severance to sell the residual land but one to provide an owner, retiring from the operations of a farm, a proper rural house site in an accessi- ible area of a. large, continu- ing, corporate farm. The effect would not create a residential development in a rural area or even a trned, trend to a residential develop- ment. The whole purpose of a Land Division Committee is to consider the facts of an application in terms of its interpretations of the breed intents and restrictions, of Officiai Plans, Zoning Bylaws and the provisional Regional Planning Policies for Land Separations; and then to mnake a decision on the particular aspects of an indivîdual application.

The last leg of his four-day train tour took the Prime Minis-' ter, -accompanied by his wife Margaret, through the Province of Quebec- Rimouski, Rivière-du-Loup, Ste-Foy, St-Tite, Grand- Mère, Sh awinigan, Joliette. At every stop, the Trudeau Express had warm welcomes - bands, children eager to catch a glimpse, and always lots'of people. Mr. Trudeau said the tour enabled him to meet hundreds of people he could not otherwise have seen. Following his very successful train tour, Mr. Trudeau spent~ an event-filled day around Toronto. In ' Streetsvile, he attended the local Bread and Honey Festival. At a %hopping plaza ini Bramalea, he delivered a sharp attack against Stanfield and the, Conservatives. -Tliey can't seem to get together on any of their policies. They're divided on the petroleum policy between the Alberta~ Tories and the Ontario Tories. They're divided on the language, policy...- "They're divided on the way to fight inflation. They want to make inflation the issue of this campaign, and they're divided~ on the way to deal with it..." - "This just shows - this division within the party - that, what we're saying ahl along that the issue of leadership, of the par- ty that can best .lead this country in a united way, is really a' fundamental issue." 'A party that'can't even control its own members on its own polîcy is asking for a mandate to control our whole econo- my, to put on a freeze and then two years of contraIls." At Gravenhurst, Mr. Trudeau was greeted by almost 6,000' people when he launched a refitted cruise ship. At Richmond Hill, the Prime Minister again attacked the Tories on their price and wage control policy. June 4-6, Prime Minister Trudeau visited three of the Western provinces, British Columbia, Aberta and Manitoba. He arrived in, London, Ontauio late June 6; he spent the next two days touring southern Ontario. GALLUP POLL 1A Gallup Poli taken during the first week of May, before and during the reading of John Turner's Budget, on party stand- ings puts the Liberals ahead of the Conservatîves by 7 per cent.
