The motion which had been pending for several weeks, was brought forward by Coun. Anderson of Picker- ing. Opposing the motion Coun. Potticary quoted from a brief on the airport which said $3 billion dollars would flow into the area and 200,000 new jobs would be created.' Coun. Rickard felt the debate should not be entirely economic. "You will gradu--~ ally destroy yourself if you think only in terms of the money generated" he said, "You've got to consider the human side too." He felt there ought to be a sincere and in-depth study to ¢o into the matter. Coun. Matheson pointed out that Air Canada feels an airport is nol necessary now. ALL THIS PLUS JOHN DEERE QUALITY 134% Coun. Des Newman said a new ajrport would create some alin but it was better to have some disloca- tion now than more of it later. "1 believe the need to have an aiport has been estab- lished. The opportunities in this country are priceless. Our country is a magnet to the people of the world and we need a new airport and resultant services to main- tain and increase our level of services." he added. Coun. Ken Lyall asked councillors to consider the lifestyles of people in the region before backing an airport. "Don't look at it with; dollar signs for eyeballs." he * pleaded, adding that **3 bil- lion and 200,000 jobs don't equate with the trouble we'll have from the new airport." He said a new airport would be a nuisance. Council finally agdinst the motion. voted Busy season for Mothers' Auxiliary "By June Harris The Meeting of the Mot- her's Auxilliary of the 1st Scugog Cub and Scouts for the month of June was held on Monday evening, June 10th, at the Manchester Church.

"Growth is good," most people seem to think. However, there's one kind of growth that is definitely not good, and that's cancer, which is -the disordered, undisciplined growth of body cells. Find a way to halt this growth and you find a way to beat cancer. This is exactly what is happening in research today. With developments ike radiation beam therapy, new and more effective drugs, and better surgery, cancer is being beaten. Thousands of patients are now cured.
