The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. November 28.1984 Section Two Byline... By Peter Parrott Region Fire Losses Total $5.2 Million Beavers Welcomed into Hampton Colony There's an old philosophical puzzle which asks "If a tree falls in a forest and there's no observer present, present, does the tree make a noise?" I sometimes wonder if the same question can be asked of modern-day modern-day media coverage. coverage. If an event occurs without the scrutiny of the international television television cameras, has, it truly happened? : And I think of this quandry in relation to •the famines of Ethiopia. What can you say? Like everybody else, I am disturbed and haunted by the images images of dying people brought to us via television television .from a continent half a world away,j . Biit; I was also disturbed disturbed by something else: How many Ethiopias are there which go unrepoj-ted and thereforé ignored? People have been dying in that unfortunate country for some time before it hit the head- linès. And I'm sure that, there are other places equally hard-pressed. The disaster must include include a number of other neighbouring African nations which, for a variety of reasons, are having trouble feeding themselves. In fact, I recall former Agriculture Minister, Eugene Whelan, Whelan, saying in an interview interview that the famine was feared 10 years ago. It seems to me that we should have acted before before the disaster hit the major newscasts. In one respect, journalism journalism has helped save many lives in the starving starving country of Ethiopia. And we should continue continue to send every dollar dollar we can find to help the people who need food there. But sooner or later, the crisis in that country country will have passed. Already, Already, food supplies are getting through, the death rate is declining. Soon the TV crews will pack up their gear and move to some new disaster. disaster. And then, the public will get the mistaken idea that because the problems of Ethiopia have waned, the issue of famine in underdeveloped underdeveloped countries', has gone away.

Bowmanville And that's unfortunate. unfortunate. People will continue continue to die from starvation starvation and lackof medical care. _ Nor would the solution solution be to have a crew of reporters travelling to the world's neediest nations and sending back urgent appeals for help. Sooner or later, the public would become become immune to a daily dietoftragedyonTV screens. screens. Perhaps the only sensible sensible solution is to recognize recognize the fact that world hunger is an ongoing ongoing problem which needs more ongoing solutions. It's good' to react to crises, but that's not the way to solve the problem. If a person starves anywhere in this world, it's a tragedy whether or not a camera is there to record the event. And, perhaps, in this season of goodwill toward toward men, we will take some long-range, permanent permanent steps, to ease the tragedies of the future. future. Town Should Search for Best Investment Thé General Purpose, and Administration Committee approved à recommendation recommendation from Councillor Ivan Hobbs that the town's investments investments be made where the best rates are available, even if they are at institutions institutions outside the municipality. municipality. "We should look at investing investing outside the town limits, in the best interest of the taxpayer", said Councillor Hobbs. At the Committee meeting, meeting, November 19, Treasurer Treasurer ; Kathryn Campbell pointed out during the dismission dismission that it had been a long-standing . practice, to deal with local financial.institutions. financial.institutions. ' The Committee could see . no reason that out-of-town investment would be less convenient, and the motion was carried. Fire losses in the Durham Region were almost $5.2 million in 1983, accordingto a report from the Ontario Fire Marshal's Office. There were 825 fires in the Regional municipality last year. Three fatalities were reported--all of them in the City of Oshawa. Oshawa was also the municipality with the highest highest single fire loss of property property due to fire. It reported damages totalling $2.5 million million last year. The Town of Newcastle, which is the municipality with the largest geographic area in the Durham Region, had the second highest fire loss. It totalled $729,965 last year, according to statistics contained in the fire marshal's marshal's report. Newcastle had only one fire-related civilian injury during '83 and no injuries to firefighters were reported. reported. The annual report noted that the single largest source of ignition for Ontario Ontario fires is cooking equipment. equipment. It is followed closely by smokers' .articles and heating equipment which each account for approximately approximately 15 per cent of fires excluding vehicle fires. Electrical distribution items accounted for 10 per cent. However, the majority of fires (41 per cent) are ignited ignited by other sources or by unknown causes. Tree Planting To be Limited The tree planting program will be fairly limited this year according according to the Director of Public Works, Ron Dupuis. "It is not going to be a very big program", said Mr. Dupuis. There will : be some planting done on road islands and around road construction. construction.

And they've turned the drafty old attic room into a warm nursery with insulation insulation and inexpensive, easy- to-install baseboard heaters. There's a separate thermostat, so baby's room can be kept at exactly the right temperature without overheating the rest of the house. On the right?
