Whethy one likes it or not the process is now in motion as to the possible development of a permanent low-level Waste facility in either the Town of Newcastle or Hope Township, With the.an- nouncement last week by Eldorado that the Tyrone site and the Wesleyville site will be presented as their candidates for waste disposal the process begins. Come the week of October 6th Open Houses will be field in Tyrone, Bowmanville and Port Hope. This will be followed by a visit by the panel to the existing waste sites at Port Granby, Welcome, and Port Hope as well as visits to the two candidate sites. Starting the week of October 20th the Review Panel will hold scoping sessions both at Bowmanville and Port Hope for a total of nine hours in both centres. It is an interesting procedure and as we understand the Environmental Environmental Assessment-Review Panel is really making its debut with this proposal. It is designed to give all an equal opportunity to x express their concerns or approval without confrontation. The federal government has published a fairly clear statement statement as to their policy on low-level waste which nd doubt is the guideline for the'Review Panel. It states that human health and safety and environmental protection are of primary importance and the procedure as outlined should well give assurances to this end. The federal government on a number of occasions has referred referred to the safety factor with the former Minister of Mines stating, "if it is not safe enough to be near populated areas it is not.safe to be anywhere." The make-up of the Review Panel itself does contain persons with substantial; expertise in their own field's which do relate to what may be problem areas for development of any waste site. The Panel has already called upon and received opinions as to the potential environmental, socio-economic and safety issues as associated with the clean-up and disposal of the low-level waste. , The process does give everyone .the opportunity to express their views. One would have to agree with Allan Lawrence now is the time to be rational, informed and effective. The opponents, it appears, must now'be prepared to bring forth their technical views for the scoping meetings which are only a few weeks in the future and as well their socio-economic views of such waste development in the community. The scoping meetings are being held to obtain viewpoints, professional and otherwise, in order that Eldorado may include their responses in their Environmental Assessment Statement which will be considered considered in 1987 at the Review Panel hearings. Developments will be interesting, no doubt, none the least being unity between the Region of Durham group and that in Hope Township. Already there appears a drift away from one- another. It is a human reaction and understandable but in unity there is strength. Another feature which is lacking is communication communication between the propponents and opponents especially that of municipal councils. It was determined by environmental groups during the MacKenzie Valley Pipeline hearings that close ties with all parties was a definite asset and unity within opponent groups did gain benefits for the environment in the final decision. The process is cast, the decision still sometime down the road. * APPLE BLOSSOMS IN SEPTEMBER # Doreen Lowery of Oroho North reports that large Macintosh trees at the orchard of Calvin Crago, on the Town line west of Orono were breaking forth in spring bloom while the fruits of fall were being picked.

In rip rap the bank may be regraded followed with the placing of stone only the side of bank for stabilization purposes. Newell said within a couple of years tne stone will be covered through natural causes and with the encouragement of sewn grasses to what then appears appears a natural condition. Newell also points out that with the completion of the watershed plan such areas as the Hunter and Stalker Creek have been designated as high priority areas for such work as is undertaken through the Conservation Conservation Services Program. He said works in these areas would take preference over works in areas with a lesser priority. The Orono Creek area is also in a high priority area as are the areas in'the Cambourne and Coldspring creek systems. Through the program the Authority has planted 42,000 trees for reforestation on twelve properties properties this past spring and will plant close to 4,000 shrubs for wildlife habitat improvement this fall. During During the summer 600 tons of stone was used for stream bank stabilization. stabilization.

So this is their fourtieth anniversary. They replace the Victory Bonds that were issued during the dark days of the second World War when word was received that France had fallen. Would England be next? Young Canadians were being killed and wounded in action. The war was costing four million dollars a day. That was in a time when 25 cents wôuld buy a full course meal. The war followed the depression. Where was the money to come from? However, most Canadians had some money saved in a sock, or the old tobacco can perhaps, to pay their funeral expenses or stowed away against a rainy day. So Victory Bonds were issued. The smallest valued at $50.00, Volunteers went from home to home canvassing for people to buy bonds. For the children there were War Saving Stamps of twenty five cents each. The teacher kept a book for each dhild. It was very important important that the children would work together with the family for Victory. Victory. Each Friday they added another 25 cents stamps to their book. Sixteen stamps filled the book. When it was due it would bring bring $5.00. Lome Green and many other famous people went on radio pleading with everyone to help win the war by buying Victory Bonds. The second Victory Bond drive brought in $730,000. The fourth Victory Bond drive brought in one ' million. ' When I went to Ottawa in 1943 to train in the R.C.A.F, I spent a month in basic training. Then I was to take a six weeks «course in Trenton that was already filled, and wouldn't begin for one month. So they sent a squadron of us W.D.'s to Toronto to march for'the Victory Loan. We were put in a barracks that had been a girls boarding house up on the third floor on Jarvis Street. We were given percision drill each day and marched in every parade.

By November 1, 1946 the soldiers, sailors, and airmen, had returned so Canada Saving Bonds replaced the Victory Bonds. Money was needed to pay our war debt we are still buying Canada Saving Bonds.
