Toxic Wastes Threaten Our Forests "TXziqt* Sn* In 1978 the decline of trees on a major scale began in Europe. The spread of this forest sickness was very rapid, rapid, and by 1986 major deforestation deforestation of upland and mountain slopes was occurring occurring in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Reports are now being received about forest decline and die back in France, Italy, The Netherlands, Netherlands, Belgium, and southern southern Sweden. The decline started in North America in the early 1980's with the reports of the death of red spruce and balsam balsam fir in the mountains of Vermont and New York. By 1984, reports were coming in from Quebec's maple syrup producers of the die back and decline of their sugar maples. By 1986 a major "epidemic" was clearly under way. Other species were being affected along with sugar maple, beech, yellow birch, green and white ash, and other species. In Ontario some maple syrup producers started to complain of similar problems problems in the Muskoka area. Current research reveals that the problem is extensive in the nardwood forests around Parry Sound, Huntsville, Huntsville, and Bracebridge. • The first signs of decline have now been seen in Uxbridge, Uxbridge, Exeter, and King with the sugar maple showing showing the most serious decline. ■ As you look around your neighbourhoods you will see trees with browning leaves and thinning total leaf cover. It has been a hot summer and some of this is caused by drought. The effect of the drought is made more severe severe by the factors causing the decline. What is happening? Acid rain and other toxic substances in the air are all playing a part. Salt, compaction compaction of soil, and chemical contamination are all working working against the health of our neighbourhood trees. Imagine your street without without its trees. It's hard to do; they seem like they should last forever. And yet the insidious insidious attack of noxious gasses in the air plus a host of other problems is working against our trees. What is being done to work out a solution? This is the really sad part. Almost nothing is being spent on research to find out what can be done to protect our trees until we stop toxic emissions. Our current research project, project, badly in need of financial financial support, is trying to find a way to either inoculate or give special chemical treatments treatments to trees in southern Ontario so they will survive. It is a tragic situation. The value trees give to our neighbourhoods neighbourhoods is incalculable and yet their continued survival survival is threatened by the tiny, too negligible sums of money given to research to find a way to protect them.

Nuclear Power Brings Concerns Over Health To the Honourable Jake iMP linister of National Health and Welfare Ep En Dear Mr. Epp: ■ Re: Darlington Generating Generating Station Baseline Health Data I am enclosing a copy of my recent letter to a local newspaper regarding the above-noted Baseline Health Study. You will note my concerns concerns regarding the inadequacies inadequacies of the study - said concerns having the support of the International Institute of Concern for Public Health. I recall a recent article in the Toronto Star wherein it was indicated that you advocate advocate increased funding in the health care system which would support the "mental health" of Canadian citizens. Your reasoning appeared to be that Canadian citizens were experiencing increased stress-related illnesses due, in part, to ongoing concern for the sorry state of our environment environment and for the bleak future which seems to loom on the horizon. As a full-time homemaker and mother raising two children children (Kyle aged 3 1/2 years and Garrett aged 14 months) I feel that I must ask you a very simple, yet all- consuming question: Why does a mother such as myself myself have to beg and fight for the protection, insurance and security of a proven, realistic baseline health study? This data should, in my view, be the most accurate data ever compiled prior to the start- HOWTO SAVE ON YOUR WINTER HEATING BILLS. HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO.

The only argument seems to be cost. I truly believe believe that cost should not be a determining factor. Some things are priceless - my chilmen's health is priceless! I feel helpless, frustrated and truly enraged that I have no input or control over this situation. I left the workforce workforce to undertake the most, important task of anyone's life - childrearing. My intent, and preference, is to concentrate concentrate on my task 100 per cent of the time. Yet, here I am, writing yet another letter pleading for the protection of my children's health. There are countless potential environmental disasters facing facing this planet, and as things stand today, I see a bleak future future for my children. It is every parents' hope that their children will live a better better and easier life than themselves. themselves. There is little doubt that such will not be the case for my children. However, I feel it is every child's right to good health and protection of their health by monitoring any changes in their health status in order to prevent th& hardship and heartache which go hand-in-hand with childhood illness and disease. disease. Imagine the scene in my rural home this Thanksgiving Thanksgiving evening. I have prepared dinner ana our family gives thanks for the good health, love and peace which we share. The dishes are done, Kyle and Garrett have been bathed and happily tucked into their beds, ana now lie peacefully asleep secure that all is well in their world. It is a beautiful cool fall evening and not a sound can be heard. After a busy day, this is supposed to be my time to relax, listen to some music, maybe read a book, spend some time with my husband. But, what am I doing? I am writing this letter because I feel my cry must be heard. I ask you - what are you going to do for this mother and her children? Isn't it obvious that some of the stress and fear of Canadians could quite easily be somewhat alleviated? I look forward to your response response and support. Regrettably, • Helen MacDonald (Mrs.) (and Kyle and Garrett) Cooperative Nursery School Needs Assistance My family and I are mov- VIv 1 ing from Bowmanville but before we go I feel I must write this letter to help my friends and colleagues who are trying to establish a cooperative cooperative Nursery School in Bowmanville. During my five years here I have met many young children through my work with the YWCA as a Preschool Preschool gym teacher and my job at Soper Creek Nursery School. Last spring, Soper Creek N.S. closed-leaving many pre-schoolers with no place to spend their mornings or afternoons. The remaining facilities in town (Bowmanville (Bowmanville Nursery School and Newcastle Day Care which also has a Nursery School program) are filled and have waiting lists. Our growing community is in need of another preschool preschool program. A small group of interested parents is toying to organize a non- § ront co-operative Nursei chool, but it is a very big jc to get such a school started. Government regulations must be met ana certain guidelines for such a program program must be followed step- by-step. This takes a lot of time and a committed core group to co-ordinate everything. everything.
