2ORONO WEEKLV TIMES, DECEMB1F'R l8th, 1974 o r onu weekly times second Class Mail Registration Number 6368 Ilublishied Every Wedn esdayv At the Office of Publication SUBSCRIPTION RATES Canada $3.0O U.S.A. $4.50 REDISTRIBUTION It would naw appear that when the next provincial election rails arounid in the province of Ontario that there is every likelyhood that the final report on redistribution will be in effect. Locally if does away with the riding of Durham with the major portion of the former Durham riding, the Town of Newcastle being in a riding ta be known as Durham East. The Durham East riding will nat only take in the Town of Newcastle b ut also a portion of the north of Oshawa. The municipalities of Hope "Township and Port Hope will. be acc.ommodated in the Northumberland riding. t seems quite obviaus that Mr. Russell Rowe, now the member of the existing Northumberland riding will continue ta contest the new riçing with Hope and Port Hope for the Conservatives. Mr. alex Carruthers could well contest, the new Durham East riding even though he would flot live in the riding. In the past he bas represented the former Townships ofClarke and Darlington as well as the Town of Bowmanville and the Village of Newcastle. Mr. Carruthers decision may rest for a time on what Dr. McIllveen intends ta do in Osbawa for if could be-reasonable ta consider [hat the Dr. may wish ta represenit Durham East as part of is existing riding is witbin tbe new riding. - Mr. Carrutbers has faced however a lot of criticsm from tbe Hope, Port Hope area in sucb miatters as tbe CN dump, the hospital, ambulance service and otber local matters. It may well be that be would be just as well witbout this area in is riding at tbe time of the next election even tbougb mucb fa the criticism is without justification and bas Mr. Carruthers on tbe spot so to speak. The Durbam liberals ma-y also find the change over somewbat difficult as one of the front runners for the nominations çirk Entwisle bas stated that be is interested in the nomination providing the Durham riding is ta stay as if is prsently cons'tituted. Witb a change ta the Durham East is entbusiasm may be on the wane. The. libertals may find however with tbe possible avethrow of the- conservative in Ontario in tbe offing that nu.merous candidates may juist be waîting ta add tbeir name ta the contest of cboosing a candidate. The NDP party is apparently already keyed ta go witb their candidate already cboosen in tbe persan of Mr. Douglas Moffatt wbo does not bave any worries over redistribution. There could well be more NDP votes in Nortb Osbawa compared ta the former sections of the present Durham riding an area wbere be bas fougbt the past two provincial elections. Like most tings ta came only the future will tell tbe story. THE SOLANDT COMMISSION Tis month the Solandt Commission completed tbeir public meetings in tbe aea regarding tbe placing of tbe 5WOKVa hydra transmission uines througb the district. t is expected that Dr. Solant's reportI will be presented sometime early in tbe new year. The report sbôuld certainly be interesting especially for this area due ta tbe great input and interest sbown by tbe general public. This interest was stimulated due mnostly ta the fact that a number of routes were proposed and tbus affected a great number of residents personally. Every time a new route was proposed if brougbt forth more people wbo bad not until they were personally affected were interested. It must be said that Dr. Solandt was a fine'choice ta conduct tbe hearings who througb his own personality was able ta keep bitterness and contempt ouf of the hearings. He' has gaîned tbe respect of everyone in this area who has attended tbe meetings. The exercise of the reports, planning and haearings must have been a costly one for this area. The exercise however could only be termed an exercise in democracy as everyone was given the opportunity ta presen their views either written or verbally. Dr. Solandt gave assurance that al would be heared who wished ta be heard, bathi from the professionals and fromn the lay population. In speaking with local residents who did submit briefs or Theed ôrkinowledge Man1y of the worid's ilîs are due t icgnorance, con- fusion and the miis!iter-pretation)j of cause anid etTeci. This is flot mierely becausc mnany people arc illiteratc, but becausc Sanany people who are litcrate ceascd learning fao early in ife. They did flot keep up. Education continued into maturity keeps us supplied with many points of view from which ta survey and appraise events and mavemnents. One mark of the educated persan is the degree of his openmindedness. He is opposed to dagmatism, intoierance and smiug- >ness. No ane. can pursue education withaut widening his views and changing his mind. Consciously or subcansci ously everyone knows that he needs a comprehensive view of existence if hie is ta integrate his values, choose his goals, plan his future, and maintain the coherence of bis life. Therefore he is constantly pushing back the boundaries of bis knowl- edge, nat seeking fa prove sorne notions hie has, but searching for the truth about them. At every turn in the jaurney of life the need for knowledge urges.itself upon us. Whatever advance wc mnake in aur working or private life i s due ta the increase of aur knèwledge and aur urge fa push upward ta superiority. When a persan asks himself: "Do 1 know enough about this mnatter ta express an opfinion or ta take action ?" he is giing- evidence of being educated. Saint Thomnas Aquinas, known as fhe Angelic Doctor, wrote: "An angel perceives the truth by simple apprehiension, wýhereas mian becomnes acquainted wt a simple trutb by a process from manifold data." Knowledge is thec sure base for speculation about events and the only safe foundation upon which ta build dreami castles. It opens the door f0 valuable stafes of mmid. If helps ta remove fidgefy anxiefy about happenings. If gives us fhe edge when we came up against a prablemi for the solution of which we have flot been specially trained.
