l-4Queens Park Repo rt There is a strange series of events taking place in the Region of Durham and part- icularly in the Oshawa section which 1 think is of great concern to ail of us. A long list of projects to be undertaken by various concerns and agencies has been proposed. Among these are: the Pickering Airport the Dariington Generating Station Lennox to Oshawa transmis- sion corridor the development of the Osh- awa harbour the development of a nuclear waste disposai area at Port Granby the development of a refinery by Eldorado Nuclear at Port Granby. Please note ail of these are proposais by some govern- ment agency using tax dollars in some fashion or aniother. Ail of these are large and will have a tremendous impact not only locally but over a wide area. Ail of these would create some employmrent and that is a positive note. The disturbing part of this whole business though is that headed by Mayor Potticary and a littie group around hlmn there is constant pressure to proceed on everyone of these projects without a second thought. 1 believe that in our free country ail citizens have a right to be heard and thave IJon't Leave ILt, oChance Be sure your home is trulyv pr-otected by a good policy Call iUs 10W Milison Insurance Agency Office: Corner of Church and (CohbbedickStreet 983-53032 St. Saviours, ANGLICAN Regular Suflday Worship Service - 10:00aim. 1101yComimunion lst and 3rd Sunldays Morning Pr-ayer - 2nd and 4th Suý4ndayýs Suppiy Minlister Rev.

Mayor Potticary apparentiy feels that anyone who quest- ions anything or any of these projects and asks for ail the facts is wrong and should be barred from speaking. There is not one person in this area who would not welcome more job opportunity in the Region ana a iessening of the unfair property taxes but I haven't met one person who wants growth at any price. When we have a development proposai we * must look at ail aspects and then proceed so that al residents benefit as much as possible. I have been recently attack- ed by the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Potticary for asking questions. I shall continue to ask questions and if the Mayor or the President of the Chamber of Commerce feel that is wrong, that is unfort- unate. My idea of democracy miay be different fromn theirs. Landscape painings on display Feb. 2nd. JEFFERYS. Landscape paintings and illustrations of Charles Wil- liam Jefferys will be on display at the Robert McLau- ghlin Gallery Feb. 2 to Mar. 13th. Born August 25, 1869, in Rochester, Engiand, Jefferys at the age of ten journeyed with family across the Atlan- tic to settie in Philadelphia near relatives. Ten years later Jefferys moved to Hamilton, Ontario until set- tling in Toronto in 1881. Jefferys soon estabiished himself not only as an illustrator for newspapers but for historicai noveis and history textbooks. Many of his illustrations appeared in var- ious books including Marjorie Dickthall's, "Dick's Desert- ion", (a boys adventures in. the Canadian Forests in 1905); "The Strait Road", (1906); "Billy's Hero or the Valley of Goid", (1908). Jefferys spent two years creating a 75 page book entitled "Dramnatic Episodes in Canada's Story", which he wrote and iilustrated along with four panels (7' x 1'), for the 'vrîting room of the Chateau Laurier Hotel in Ottawa . In 1937, he designed four large relief panels showing historical events of Canada for the Memorial Arch at Niagara Falls. Ten years later in 1941 he was a contributing artist to an excellent book entitled "Can- ada: Foundation of Its Fut- ure", by Stephen Leacock and published by the House of Seagramn. ,Gerry Gilbert will be rend- ing bis poetry at the McLau- ghiin Gallery, Ituesday, Jan- uary 25th at 8 p.m. Why not come?

It wili be, at once, a novel and seiected poems and a journal of this winter and a top contender for thie titie of Canada's National Magazine.
