ir >. a Sh MATE Le E25 10 FAL ACA IY, REA A iD oe 3 CHER Nai CAE "Re I a, \ Industrial Waste Site | The decision' 'made by the Reach Township Planning Board not to allow the sale of a parcel of Township land for use as an industrial waste disposal area is a good one. The decision was made by the Board at a meeting held, last Thursday night, and because public in- terest had been generated over the proposed sale, several Township ratepayers attended the meeting. Before the Board made its decision, the meeting was opened to discussion from the floor; and good arguments 'both against and in favour of the - proposed sale were. presented. ' The main objection to any industrial disposal site is of course the possibility of 'water pollution. However, the Waste Management Branch of the Department of Energy and Resources has some tough regulations concerning possible water pollution from dumping areas. And before any site can be used for dumping, this government department must be satisfied that there is no danger of water pollution. Another argument in favour of the site is that the BR user is responsible for restoring the land after the site has been filled in. This means re-sodding, reforestation br whatever. Since the site is now an abandoned gravel pit, the area could over a period of years be restored to its original condition, or at least reasonably close to its original condition. The strongest opposition to the proposed Reach site came' from ratepayers who live in-the-im- mediate area. This is a natural enough objection as - nobody wants to live beside a waste disposal area of any kind. A disposal area is bound to have an effect on the value of adjacent property, especially . residential property. But the best reason for rejecting this particular site is that it would be of little or no benifit to the Township of Reach as a whole. Granted, the area: would be re-assessed industrial, and the Township. would realize a greater tax return, but as was stated, possibly not enough for increased road maintenance costs that would be incurred - with heavy trucks using "the Concession Road. It was argued that if Reach township wants in- dustry, it should-at least be selective. Waste disposal sites are necessary evil, il a as - it has been argued, "they have to go somewhere." But the idea of creating the waste in one area and then getting rid of it in another is unacceptable. And the great majority of the waste that would have _been dumped 'in the Reach site would have been collected from industry south of the ridges. The citizens of Reach get none of the tax benefits of these industries. When and if the Township brings in sufficient industry, then a waste disposal site will have to be found. When and if this happens, there is going to be objection to the location from people living in the - immediate area. But if it is determined that the necessary evil of a waste disposal site i is 'going to be. _. of overall benefit to all the citizens of the Township, then these objections will have to be overruled. If _ the system we live under is to work, the rights of the majority must be maintained. This was done by Planning Board's recent decision, and it will have to be done again when future decisions are made.

BILL Seice AND HOW TO DEAL WITH WOMEN'S LIB What with this being Leap Year, and all, and the Women's Lib growing ever and ever more shrill, it could be a bad year for the gentle sex: men. Not that I ever did hold much with that Leap Year business. There might have been some merit in the idea that once every four years, a lass could pick her lad, in bygone times. But it is my conviction, based on careful "observation, that the 'custom is out of date. In these times, if a girl sets her eye on a likely candidate, she whips her 'tentacles -around him, hangs on until he stops struggling, and carried him home to be devoured, with utter disregard of whether or not the year can be divided by four Now the Women's Lib movement is another thing. There's scarcely a man'in the country who dares make a crack about women __any_ more. He. knows. that 'the slightest slight will result in his head either being blown off by a grapeshot charge of vituperation, or sliced off by the guillotine cdge of irony. These dames are dangerous, and they fight under their-own rules. The only people who can stand up to them are other women, who know a good deal when they have one, and dop't believe in Women's Lib. 5 That's one of the things that might make it a rough year. If the two factions go at it hammer and tongs some day, what's a man «lo do? He's going to be caught in the cross- fire, no matter what he says. II he supports Women's Lib through altruistic motives (like maybe his wife is a believer), he is liable to find that she will turn on him in scorn and denounce him as a boot-licker who is trying to get in on the ground floor of the revolution. If he attacks the movem .nt from profound conviction (like maybe his wife is against it), he is liable to find that she' 11 turn on him in fury because it turns jut that he really is a male chauvinist pig, ater all. That old saying about "sisters uuder the skin' is not 6 be sneered at. Not in these troublous times. I repeat, what i is aman to do? There was a time, not so long ago, when the male of the species could retreat to some sort of a simulated dugout when women got into a flap: his club, the Legion Hall, a bar, the . poolroom, Not anymore. The women have infiltrated every one of these homes-away-from-home, and there's no place to hide. Men are constantly and plaintively asking about women' the rather "bewildered (question that Anglo-Canadians have used so "often in recent years about the Quebecois, "What is it they want, anyway?" And getting the. same noh-answer. At the risk, nay, the certainty, of helen assailed" from every direction that * illogical, I'll put my_life onthe firing line, while the rest of you cowards sulk behind your wives, common-law or otherwise. What is it that women want? Nothipg much, really. Just everything they can get. 1 _- don't just mean material things, though I've never met a-bird-yet who wasn't convinced 'that one in the hand is worth two in'the bush, whether they're dealing with fur coats, colour IV, labour-saving devices, new- drapés -- or men. : -But- those are not-important- among-their wants. The things they are really seeking are on a much higher plane. Foremost, they want a strong man. This is half the fun of the game. It's a challenge. Sometimes it takes as long as two years , before they can completely dominate a strong man. If they have chosen a weak ntan, he's already dominated before marriage, which takes a lot of the Zest out of the. game. They .want to be loved This is a normal, and even lofty aspiration. So do men. But women want to be loved all the time, This is where things get a bit dicey. No man wants to be loved all the time. I'd -like to see someone trying to love me at 7 a.m. as [ slouch toward the bathroom like some arthritic blanigrade look it up), yawning, groaning, scratching. In the first place, I'm completely unlovable. In the second, any woman who tried to express her devotion at that moment would be snarled at. Women are different. Just the other ni J. ; alter an 18-hour day, I crawled into bed, my liniment-rubbed neck on the ----_-- pad, yawned mightily, vaguely patted my wife on the bum, and fell asleep. Twelve seconds later I got a belt in the ribs from an elbow. "You didn't say, ' 'good night, dear", she snapped, and I got ten-minute tirade about couples drifting apart_when such amenities are omitted. I've just touched on the things women really want, and already I feel that I'm over my head. What do they want, anyway? R che.
