2, Orono Weekly Times, Weduesday, February 3, 1982 A TYPICAL NDP SOLUTION Ed Broadbent and the Federal NDP Party would have Canada destroy the competitive edge of force car manufacturera to boîster a Canadian industry that becamýe complacent, inefficienrt and ravaged by labour demanda. The NDP are seeking a ninety percent Canada Content Law for the automotive industry which would cauae force car manufac- wurers to produce the major portion of their product sold i Canada to be manufactured in Canada. What i fact the NDP are askig la that we i Canada inject in- to the force car manufacturing industry the saane complacency, inefficiency and belligerence that exista now i the Canadian in- duatry. No doubt it would level out competition in the Canadian car market but not by enhancing the industry but rather by dragg- ing foreign car manufacture down to our level of competency. Who ever said "Build a better mouse trap and the world will direct a path to your door." No doubt the NDP solution could be nothing more than a short-lived solution. It would flot prepare the present Canadian îndustry to be, itself, competitive in force markets and would only allow'for more complacency. The Canadian industry cannet nor wil not survive on a Canadian market only. It is time we looked inward and faced the competition from abroad through solutions at borne, in our own industry. Build the better mouse trap at a competitive price and at the same time lets stop whimpering. LACK 0F DECISION LEADS TO PROLIFERATION It is weil established the longer an issue is left to hang lire the more likelybood proponents of the issue will be successful in achieving their end. The recent case of transportation for French Immersion students is a fine example. Even though the Northumberland and Newcastle Board of' Education bas policy in whicb students entered in French Immer- sion must provide their own transportation to and from classes it has been overlooked entirely. The proponents for providing transportation, both parents and somte trustees, have whittled away at the proposai gaining an edge here and an inch there. The Board neyer came to a final conclusion other than to take another look at the request. The policy ol' the Board which bas been oborted did seem a logical approacb in providing French Immersion but it did not satisfy those taking part. They wanted full transportation. Fewý Boards in the Province provide this opportunity witb French Im- mersion. First, the Board passed approval for inter-town transportation for French Immersion students in Cobourg and Bowmanville. This however, left those in the rural area still with their porblemn of transportation. The next step by the Board was to institute an express bus-on one route in Darlington and with some applica- tions in the east l'or a limited number of students. This later move has inched dloser to full transportation but still a good number of French Immersion Students are witbout the benefits provided l'or some. Hardly a f'air appro ach on the part of the Board and could be tainted witb politics. Not likely the issue bas come to rest with the next being to pro- vide full transportation for al. French Immersion, bas lrom the days of the Newcastle and Northumberland Board pilot programn in Cobourg and Bowman- ville been nebulous. A recent report on French Inubersion throughout the province states that the aims and goals have neyer been met and in fact tbey are reversing wbat they bad started out to accomplish. It is another instance of facing up to a problem by governing bodies and likely a waste of taxpayer's mioney. We shall wait l'or the next chapter to be written l'or surely the issue is not over at this point. The present plan discriminates bet- ween the participants in the programn. Eldorado Nuclear (Continucd from page 1) exempt from Ontario's En- vironmental Assessment Act then it sbould bé subject to the Federal Environmental Assessment Review Process (EARP). 3. Lake Ontario water quality'is in a degraded state because of toxic chemicals and siting ýthis new l'acility directly on the lakeshore creates additional potential l'or further water quality degradation, and, indeei,, possible voliation of the Great lakes Water Quality Agreement. 4. There bas not yet been establisheti an acceptable waste-disposal site for the new facilîty. This Council is further concerniet that the new UF6 plant will apparently instal technology for the removal of particulate and -chemical emissions that is not the best now available l'or such a task. A large segment ol' Ontario sociêty interested ini this issue remains apprebensive as to wbetber aIl of the en- vironmental impacts ol' the proposed plant are, in fact, being taken fully into ac- count. For this reason we urge you to consult witb your colleagues Mr. Lalonde and Mr. Norton and discontinue further approvals in order that the, oroject migbt undergo a fully applieti Federal EARP or, alter- natively, be subject to On- tario's ,Environmental Assessment Act. Only in tbis way 'can the public be satisfied as to, the adequacy of the decision-making pro- cess and the acceptability ol' one partîcular site over other equally acceptable or better sites. We look forward to your reply and your personal perspective on tbis serious en- vironmental assessment issue. Copies of the letter were sent to The Honourable Marc Lalonde, Minister of' Energy, Mines andi Resources, and the Honourable Keitb Norton, Minister os' the Environment, Ontario, andi the five members ol' the A.E.C.B.

This is an olti lashioned winter witb lots of snow like I remember wben I attended Kendal School. Then the teams used to pass the school drawing logs to Jackson's Mill. Every team bad belîs on the borses. Then the cutters would go by witb strings of smaller belîs. At Churcb on Sunday the young men would drive up to tbe cburcb door witb a beautil'ul driving borse and a l'ancy wbip. He would step out andi give bis band to one of tbe, choir girls as be belpeti ber in. Tben tbey would spread a pretty blanket or robe over their knees and -drive away to the music of belîs. Eacb set of belîs had a dil'ferent ring. On Pcb. 4tb. in 1914 my aunt marrieti Fred Poster.
