t. And we shall not suffer but rather gain In a recent show of strength the Ontario Minister of the Environment, Jim Bradley, told the Ontario legislature that Ontario Ontario Hydro, the giant utility that in the past has run itp own show, will not be able to set up a "pollution bank" under the provincial acid rain program. By banking emission Hydro would set a limit on pollution pollution and in any year emissions fell below that limit, the difference difference would count toward a year when emissions rose above the set level. Such a scheme would ahave allowed Hydro something other polluting industries did not have and could have rendered Hydro's part in reducing pollution considerably. A statement made by Hydro Chairman Tom Campbell is rather amazing which came-after the decision was announced by the Minister. Campbell has been reported to say that consumers will now suffer for its loss. A strange statement from a high profile office. It is possibly true that hydro will increase in costs due to additional controls necessitated by the announcement. But this surely was the case when Hydro built and then month-balled hydro generating plants as well as hydro transmission lines. We would contend that consumers in the end will gain through the reduction of pollutants into the atmosphere, on our lands and in our waters. We may even have something left to leave to future generations that they may continue to enjoy what we have had. Suffer we will not over the decision of the government but rather gain in starting to protect the environment, even though it be a small measure of the overall picture. Setting policy The Town of Newcastle of late appears to be setting some policy to guide future decisions as to development within the municipality. A recommendation goes to council in defining parks, parkettes and the position held by the Town as to Valleylands within urban areas. The recommendation appears to be a good one and has had considerable debate and study by both council members, staff and from the Recreational Advisory Board. It is now a matter of holding to the definitions and criteria that has been established. This Friday, we understand, council is to again consider estate residential development within the Town. It is an area in which the Town has paid lip service to but done very little to control. Some sources claim it is out-of-control which judging from planning agendas may well be the case. The planning department is asking for better guidelines and the opportunity would certainly be at hand on Friday. The cost of development will certainly be a major issue to consider at Friday's meeting and nowhere does one read that residential development is a paying proposition. Municipal services are available within urban areas and it does seem logical that these services be utilized rather than pushing development out into the rural areas. Letter to Editor . Dear Sir: *[ have received numerous complaints complaints about our roads recently and would ask that you allow me to explain explain to you the-, travelling public what is happening. " ; ■' Some sections of our roads are in a rough gravel state. They appear to have a "washboard" surface and there is a lot of dust., both of which situations cause inconvenience. These sections have had their surfaces surfaces pulverized, to return them to a gravel state. During Step 2, it is intended intended to add gravel which will be compacted to improve the cfown and shape of the road and in some cases, there will be improvements to the drainage. The third stage will be the surface treatment operation. Asphalt emulsion emulsion is applied to /he previously prepared surface. Gravel is spread immediately and imbeds itself into the emulsion. For about two weeks, loose gravel will be a nuisance. The surplus will accumulate on the sides of the travelled road and the ' Town's sweeper will pick it up. The final surface will be hard and dust- free. These three steps are completed over a .4 - 8 week period. The pulverizing and surface treatment work is contracted out, while the second second step is completed by the Town forces. The time frame is dictate/! by the availability of the contractor for steps one or three and the weather. The asphalt emulsion cannot cannot be put down in the wet weather ( and it is not compatible with calcium, which we usually use to control dust. The purpose of this form of road restoration is to improve the riding surface of the road, /estçre its proper proper crown shape and upgrade the road structural capacity. The cost is approximately two and one-half times less than the hardtop. Thus, two and one-half times more road can be repaired for the same dollars although the inconvenience to the abutting property owners is considerable. considerable. , 1 have requested that the Public Works Department advise abutting property owners when work of this nature has been approved by Council Council and "of the various stages in which the work will be completed. 1 offer my apologies to those of you who are being hindered for the sake of tax dollars and hope that the improved road surface, upon completion, will in the same measure, compensate you for the inconvenience. Yours very truly, ANN COWMAN Regional Councillor Ward 1 Kendal News Ate you taking a trip perhaps to the British l slcs ?

It got its pasture with the other Kendal cows on the side of the road. They slept at night on the road.

Jt was for three passengers, I sat down, beside me sat an oriental woman and a black lady. I thought the twain have met, today. When I was èating dinner a middle aged oriental couple sat opposite opposite me. They both had well filled trays. He,ate half his dish of soup and gave the rest tq her. "You will have exactly two hours," said the professor as he handed out examination papers to a roomful of students. "Under no circumstances will I accept a paper given to me after the deadline has passed." Two hours later he broke the silence. "Time is up," he said. All but one of the students piled their papers on the professor's desk; that one continued to wo-V furiously. Almost 15 minutes later with ms paper behind his back, the tardy student approached the professor -who refused to accept it. The student student drew himself up to his full height and asked, "Professor, do you know who 1 am?" "No," said the professor. "Terrific," said the student, and he stuffed his paper into the middle of the pile. The Kendal Church Bake Sale on Friday evening and Saturday morning morning May 30th was a success.
