Visions arose of mass airlifts of children to this country and the United States of these worn torn children but that dream or desire will not come to pass. The problems are multitudinous and it may well be that other sulution of help would be more desirable and in the end more humanitarian. It must be remembered that the people and the children of Vietnam have been conditioned to the conditions of war over a period of many years. The future of the country is likely marked by those that survive and it is hardly likely that the government of the country, whatever it may be at this point, is going to allow a mass exodus of their future population. The leaders would be well aware that survival depends on having people and reducing this factor could only reduce the chance of survival. EXPRESSES CONCERN ' ( Continued from page 1 ) re-zoning of lands in the south-east of the former Township of Clarke for a retirement park. The application application has been submitted by Pine Ridge Park Ltd. for the rezoning of lands owned by Mr. Murray Payne. The school board pointed out that the new development would be close to the Ontario Hydro development at Wes- leyville and pressures would be brought upon it to include young families thus requiring school accommodations. The board sometime ago also turned up a negative opinion regarding the Rice proposa! for a mobile home park south of 401 at 35 highway. PROPOSE LITTLE DEVELOPMENT FOR WILMOT DRAINAGE AREA (Continued from paae i ) Region using outdated outdated water rates The Region of Durham is using old water rates of 1973 and in many cases water meters have not been read since the inception of the region in 1974, January. The finance committee for the region find their hands tied and can only wait for action from the works committee committee until it makes up its mind on recommendations of a report prepared by Gore and Storrie. Coun. Pilkey of Oshawa said that the city could face a deficit between $200,000 and $500,000 because it is not assessing users on the present rate. This could cause a sum of money to be taken out of the local levy in the city to make up the difference. It was pointed out that any deficit could now only come from local taxation. William Manning, chief administrator, administrator, reminded the committee that those on flat water rates are in an inequitable inequitable position also. The Village of Orono water users are charged on a flat rate basis but before the turn over of the system to the Region it was considered by the local authority authority that the rates existing in 1973 could carry-on for a number of years as the rate was creating a sizeable surplus. surplus. The cost of operation could, however, affect this condition. The city of OshaWa Public Utility is to be given a hearing before the Regional Council in the matter of a proposal made by the PUC that they take over all billing for water and sewers in the region.

It must also be recognized that the desire on this side of the world to harbour an Vietnamese child has been stimulated through a form of instant emotion due to press and television reports. This emotion can easily over-ride reality and the problems to be faced in the future. It would appear that to assist with programs of help, in Vietnam could be more effective and in the long term much more rewarding. It does not appear that war is the answer in this country in. the east and peace may only come with a north victory. Canadians do have a responsibility to help and it is hoped that the channels of this help may stay open in Vietnam and in other countries where our compassion for others may be realized.
