Claim Eldorado "world leader" Duncan Moffet, waste management specialist for Eldorado Resources Ltd. has been reported to have stated that Eldorado is a "world leader" in radioactive waste disposal and not a perpetrator of a "sham". He said, "Our programs are by and large superior and more progressive" to any in the world. Since 1977 he said nuclear waste from Port Hope has been reduced by 90 percent. At the present time the company and the Port Granby Granby monitoring committee has parted way with thb committee committee refusing to meet with Eldorado if the company does Taylor, John Cornish, Cindy West, Amy Morton, David Armstrong, Murray McLaren, Douglas Rutherford Rutherford and David Goode.

People People gathered in front of the new radio shop about to open in Town where a Marconi radio was voicing the results. It was learned that Cecil G. Mercer, Kendal, Liberal, received 600 votes over M.J. Elliot, Conservative, in Durham County. OCTOBER 1937 Dr. McElroy, a former resident of Orono passed away on September 30th.

Eldorado has stated that it would be' too costly and somewhat dangerous to transport waste to Elliott Lake. Impact Funds 'continue to grow * Two accounts set up by 'Ontyio Hydro and lodged with the Town of Newcastle to offset the impact of the construction of the Darlington Darlington Nuclear Generating, plant continue to increase in value due to accumulation of interest. The "A" account established in 1977 with a . grant of $1 million from Ontario Ontario Hydro now rests at $1.868 million.

In eight of these tournaments they plac- Sam at. . Queen The third session of the 32nd parliament of the Ontario Ontario Legislature resumed October October 11th following the summer summer recess. In this column, I would like to discuss some of the issues which will occupy the legislature's attention in the coming months. One major challenge facing the legislature this fall is to decide whether a transitional restraint program in any form is appropriate given the economic realities of 1983-84. When the provincial restraint program was introduced introduced last September, many public service leaders were concerned that it would affect their members unfairly. unfairly. At that time the government government recognised that restraint was being practised in the private sector and it saw a need to exercise the same restraint in the public sector. In order to protect jobs, wages and benefits simply had to be held down. The key goal of the restraint program ■was to save jobs, not money. And it is important to note that because the government acted responsibly and decisively, no public service jobs were lost, even in the depths of the recession. The aim of any transitional restraint program would also be to save jobs. As legislators our challenge would be to accomplish accomplish this goal without subjecting any group to undue undue hardship. During this session we can also expect to see the report of the Standing Committee on Resources Development dealing with proposed changes to the Ontario Workers' Compensation Act. This is the final step in a process process which began almost four years ago. In 1980, Paul Weilçr conducted a comprehensive comprehensive review of the Act for the Ontario Ministry of Labour. His report was circulated circulated among representatives representatives of government, $1.4 million by Ontario Hydro now has a value of $1,758,423. Monies from this account have been used for the Fitness Centre, a* cultural and recreation master plan, along with grants to museums, and the library board. ed in fourth place or higher. They also won the Town of Newcastle "A" Division Championship, winning 26 of the 29 league and playoff games played. Overall this season, they played seventy- five games, winning sixty times.

Moffat. s Park business and labour and their comments were incorporated in the Ministry's White Paper released in 1981. The Resources Development Committee then held a series of public meetings tp. obtairi public input on the subject. The committee is taking the responses into consideration in preparing the final report which will be debated in the legislature. Any legislation ■ changing the Act would follow the debate. The Social Development Committee of which I am a member will be bringing down its report to (he legislature on its recommem dations on the problems of Child abuse.
