One of the big com- tter plaints was the size of itby type used in the ving telephone book. rom Coun. Joe Drumm oly. told Little that in 1982 oom- there were 152 names on nted a page in the book. In om- 1984, there were 252 if names. Futher, the book [one had 402 pages in 1982 but members ds in its area. The funds collected are prirnarily used to assist needy Canadian ex-service personnel and their dependents. Sorne uses involve medical research,othe purchase of community medical equipment, and the operation of daycare centres, meals-on- wheels and other related services. The funds are also used to educate students of all ages in an attempt to make them aware of what the 1.6 million Canadians who enlisted in both world wars and the Korean War had to sacrifice in order to ser- ve. The Royal Canadian Legion is more than just an organization for veterans, it serves the whole community. There are ap- proximately 1,800 legion branches across Canada with 600,000 members. Members include any veteran who served in the two world wars and the Korean War. Recen- tiy, membership bas been made availablehto the children of the veterans who served overseas. The local branch 112, of the Legion has 850 members of which 700 are veterans or relatives of veterans. Funds for the legion came mainly from the national poppy cam- paign but also ineludes dances or banquets at the local legion hall. The legion distributes about 11.5 million pop- pys each year. Each legion branch is respon- sible for running its own campaign and collec- ting and dispursing fun- had shrunk to 273 pages in 1984. Drumm noted that during that time Whitby had grown substantially and there were more houses with more telephones. "I'm damned unhap- py with the telephone boCk," hesaid. Coun. Joe Bugelli, chairman of the com- mittee, noted that much of Whitby east of Ander- son St. had Oshawa telephone numbers and received the Oshawa telephone book and it's edition*of the yellow pages. That means that Oshawa businesses only have to advertise in one book to reach alI of Oshawa and part of Whitby. But if a Whitby business wants to reach all of Whitby, then he must advertise in both the Oshawa and the Whitby yellow pages. "He has to advertise in both editions of the same bock to get com- plete coverage," Bugelli said adding that it seemed a little unfair. He also noted that it's a complaint that "keeps coming. It's a perennial problem. Weve had the comment from a num- ber of businesses." Reg. Coun. Tom Ed- wards told Little that many Whitby residents were unhappy that they couldn't call Pickering iocaily, they are charged for a long distance cal.

Even at its full poten- tial, the yard will have only 1,000 employees which he described as "not significantly high." Short noted that on other 100-acre industrial sites it is common to have 20 employees per acre. But at the GO- ALRT yard there will only be five per acre when it is fully developed. The planner also poin- ted out that the Central Lake Ontario Conser- vation Authority is satisfied that the project will not have an adverse attitude on nearby hazard and flood plain lands. While they expected the response they received from the committee, the residen- ts weren't completely happy. "I expected a more positive response, rather than a pro-GO at- titude," remarked Bill Walsh. "I was hoping they would speak for us, represent us." Bunn said that if C.A.R.A. doesn't get the answers it wants from GO-ALRT, then they will be back before the committee asking for support in opposition to its development.
