He said the airport site merits support because it would bring industry, increased "assess- ment and jobs to all munici- palities in this area east of Toronto. Rejecting the argument that the airport would elim- inate farm-land, Mr. Binger said farm-land is not being used to full capacity now. His supporters applauded 'when' hementionedthatifitis going to tdke $100. from every Canadian to build the airport, hewould prefer toputhis $100. towards creating jobs, rather than paying for welfare. Speaking for the POP organization, Mr. Clark Muirhead, a former aeron- .autical engineer, referred, repeatedly to the '"uncom- pensated losers," meaning those who will not be expropriated, yet live in areas close enough, he said, "to be highly annoyed' by airplanenoise. He said people in these zones will not be able to sell 'their properties be- cause nobody would want them, and the zone claimed P.O.

Claremont is Hequestionedtheneedfora new airport, claiming that Malton today is operating at less than 20 per céiit potential capacity, and could, he said, handle the 23 million pass-' engers predicted for 1985. In reply to a question, Mr. Muirhead said rapid transit systems couldbedevelopedto deliver passengers from Tor- onto to Montreal in shorter over-alltimethanitnow takes to travel by air. During the question and answer period, a middle-aged woman, Mrs, Elana Gern- gross, who said she came to Canada from Italy 25 years, addressed the audience. Hol- ding up a plastic bag full of earth, she said "'this is the soil of my-land:Tbuilt-fences, cut trees, drove tractors, put down my roots after they took everything from in Europe, and I hate like hell to lose my land. But if it's for Canada, to fight unemployment, then let's do it." With that she turned and heaved the bag of earth onto the speakers' platform. During the question period, itbecameevidentthatthereis still much confusion in the minds of a lot of people concerning the new airport, especially over the Prov- incial government order to 985 733% 159 Casimir Stre stop development or land salesin certainzones, and the exact postioning of runway . patterns and the establish: wment of noise zones. These last two have not as yet been established. One person who wanted to know if there could be any danger to the Pickering nuclear station was told by the federal representative that the plant is five miles away from the nearest flight path, and also that Hydro officials had said there would be no danger even if a plane should crash into the station. The group was told that the new federal expropriation act 'embodies the principal of a home-for-a-home." The Ontario - government rep. said that persons living outside the expropriation area, but in the noise zones wouldbegiven compensatory considerations. Another person expressed concernovercemetaries, and was told that the federal government considers graveyards as "compatible land use". and wherever possible would not be dis- turbed. At the close of the meeting, the audience was asked to indicate whether or not it favours the airport. A show of hands indicated more were against the airport site, though by this time the size of the crowd had diminished. © | YOUR NEW HOME CAN BE VERY INDIVIDUAL, AND REFLECT YOUR DREAMS AND LIFESTYLE.
