2-Oroiro Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 10th, 1979 Orono Weekly Tintes OPEN GOVERNMENT During the past federal election the Conservative party and' their leader made much of the need for 'freedom of : information' and the return to the openness of government. - As to open government this appears to have fallen by the wayside and we now have a government that make few if any committments as to their intentions. They would leave one to believe that all the answers are known by the party but fail to dispense this information to the public. A case in point was the recent interview of Allan Lawrence on Market Place. He lead us to believe that he did have the answers but it would be some time before they could be made public. It would seem that if there are answers to questions why not make them so the public can become more enlightened and knowledgeable of the facts. Another area in which the electorate are kept in the dark is that all important energy question. The Prime Minister, Joe Clarke, is Continually meeting with Provincial leaders discussing energy and energy costs but not a word to be told to the public. If progress, is being made lets hear What it is in dollars and cents and if no progress, is being made lets hear that as well. But no we must ponder and qUess along with the news media. Another note of interest from capital hill is the disposal of some crown corporations. This may be fine and warranted but when we are asked to wait for conditions of sale to be set out one begins to wonder on What premise the decision to dispose of the corporations was made. Yes we do need an open form of government and one that bare the facts to the people but as yet we have not received this from Joe Clarke and his contingent at Ottawa. A NEW LIFE FOR BEWDLEY From recent reports a plan of development for the Village of Bewdley is now in the works and it would seem that some work is proposed to get off the ground or into the water in the near future. Bewdley at one time was a centre of summer activity from many in this area and trips to the Village was an occasion to be remembered. Perhaps this is going back too, far but it was a fact. Over the past years Bewdley, in our eyes, has gone downhill to a point that any attraction it had has long gone. Revitalization of thè water front with docking, picnicing and other features and with a surge from local businesses the centre may once more become the attraction it was in the past. : i JAMES SNOW STIRS THE POT Thanks to James Snow's .Ministry of Transportation and Communication this community is going to have a lot to discuss over the winter months. The proposed highway development with no, left turns and with an outlook of increased traffic has aroused the ire of some citizens of the area. Already the Chamber of Commerce has been approached for their support and a public meeting has been called to "Stop the Super Highway"'. ' The discussion should be interesting and should be considered from all angles and from all quarters, However in the end we would hope that the Ministry is bringing to 115 the conditions of traffic movement and safety that we expect when travelling afield out of our own community.
