Key meetings for firemen, councillors An "awareness meeting" last Thursday night at Midland Fire Department attracted a total of 23 fire chiefs and councillors from a wide section of Simcoe County. The meeting was to review integrating Simcoe County Rescue Squad into the county fire service. A similar meeting was to have been held last night in Orillia while a third session is set for tomorrow night in Collingwood.

This past week I had the opportunity to participate in a tour conducted for a Select Committee on Acid Rain from the State. of California. The group listened to both scien- tists and _ citizens' groups, and were given a tour of Environment Ontario's acid rain laboratories at Dorset in the Muskoka area. The Californian delegation was made up of State Represen- tatives and members of local utilities com- missions. One delegate was Russell Sch- weickart, the former astronaut, whose trips in space have given him a special appreciation for environmental protection. Essentially, the Californians were here on a fact-finding mission, to learn and exchange information which may be of assistance in fighting their own pollution problems. The Ministry of the Environment hopes these tours will give Americans a clearer understanding of the damage caused by acid rain. Ontario, along with New York and the New England States, want immediate action to reduce acid rain. The central American States, such as Penn- sylvania and Ohio, which also produce pollutants that cause acid rain, want to delay action until scientists are confident they can more accurately predict the effects of acid rain. It is worth comparing the amounts of sulphur and nitrogen com- pounds (the essential ingredients for the production of acid rain) which are emitted by industrail activity in the central American States, with the relatively small amounts emitted in Ontario. yesterday. A rear door was forced open causing $25 damage ot the door's lock, reports Police Chief Dennis Player. The matter is still vestigation. Missing pistol recovered: police Two men have been arrested along with a juvenile and a third adult is being sought in connection with a break-in that occurred on Oct. 26 at the Watergate Restaurant in Penetanguishene. At that time, it was reported, a floor safe containing valuable papers, money and a 38 Cal. Colt revolver was removed. The safe was recently recovered in a Penetanguishene bush, the money and pistol missing. However over the weekend, during a police investigation, the fire arm was located in a bush area just off Fox Street. Charged with break and enter are Donald R. Dumont, Burke Street, and Kenneth T. Desroches, Viel Street, both of Penetanguishene.
