In February of 1978 represenfatives of var- ious clubs deaîing with the problems of disabled in the Region met to discuss a major common problem - that of accessi- bilif ty. This meeting was Initi- ated on learning that the new addition fo the' Oshawa Centre was not to have an elevator between the two levels of the new f ifty store mail. Ouf 0f this meeting a letter of our concern for the. problems which the lack of this elevator would *present diabled, * elderly and mothers with young children of the area was sent to the owners and management o f the Centre»- Affer being made. aware of a problem which fhydid nof realize fhey were creafing, the owners of the Oshawa Centre informned us that they would install an ele- vator fhereby alleviating the access problem. Having achieveci our *goal af the timne and also learning that the situa- tion at the centre had only existed because of -a lack of awareness, if was felt by those involved in the meeting thaf an ongoing committee should be formed fo educafe the public of the access pro- blem and look for similar situations in the Reg ion fo that of the Oshawa Centre. Wifh this in mind aind since the installation of the Ontario Building Code 5 on January 1, 1976, if is our intention fo keep a watch on the rapid growth of building ln Durham Region and in doing softo help make this Region one accessible to aIl ifs cifizens. With your co-operation and understanding DAC hopes that in.the future, access fo, buildings and ramping 0f streef corners will become habit in the For the elderly and disabled are'only handi- capped when the society they live in prohibits th 'em from participatlng in if fulîy. Please help us fa help, you become aware. Thank you. Sincerely Douglas F. Manuel Chairman Disabilifies Action Comm itfee, Durham Region'.

Deiar Mr. Ashe: tters We recently received a flyer from some anti- )rfune and nuclear groups contai- part icular ning the following asse- rtions and we would be Sincerely, very interested in hear- ing the other side of the ohn Knott sfory. bec Street L. The life of each awa, Ornt. nuclear reactor is only'30 years. Whaf are the governmenfs' plans fo cope with th is and at whaf cost? 2. Hydro and the Ato- mic Energy Central Board refuse to release information that would allow independent researchers to evaluafe thée safety of nuclear power sysfemns. 3. Hydro has currently a 40 per cent overcapa- city-and continues fo plan for 6 per cent increase per year *when the increase has only been 3 per cent over the Iast 3 years. Darlington -would not be needed fi into 2000 A.D. If this is so why is Darlington proceeding at such enormous expense to taxpayers. 4. When governments are cutting back in many areas and taxpayers are paying a 100 per cent hydro increase over 4 years ago, why is the govern ment spending 10,000 million '(incurring of hugh debf) in unneeded electrical generating' stations?
