Durham Region will, urge the provincial and federal governinen- ts to take over the municipal share of weifare costs. "«It wouid be a godsend to our taxcpayers," said Oshawa coun- cillor Cy Elsey, whose motion was given support by a vote of 15-12 durng last week's coundil session. Municipalities pay 20 per cent toward the cost of welfare In On- tario. Elsey argued that oniy On- tario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia of the Canadian provinces paid toward welfare. He. said , it is unfair to municipalities to pay for-welfare because« "we don't cause it, the federal and provincial governmen- ts do."Y "I don't think there wii be any savings,"' countered Oshawa coun- cillor John Aker. He said the On- tario governmgnt. would onli n creasesales tax while thé federal gov ernment wouid increase the deficit to make up for the municipal share, so that the taxpayer wouid still pay. He said, the change could also hurt the administration of welfare since the province "is a more 'distant governmnent" than municipal government., He dlaims the Region has clone --a fairiy responsible job" in deter- mining who can be applicants. "It wouid be a disservice if the provin- ce took over," he said, recommen- ding instead that the "personal, one-on-one approach" offered by the Region be maintained. "I can't believe that," said Ajax councillor Jim Witty, the Region's finance committee chairmani. He said ful funding by the Ontario and us less efficient." He said Durham should "Itake a leadership role" to do what it can Wo "help the property taxpayer." He agreed with Oshawa coun-. cillor Brian Nicholson. that the, current property tax sYstem is, "4regressive" and has been an "«albatross around us" for years. Scugog councillor Lawrence ,Malcolm said if the province took over welfare there wouid be "the biggest graft system we ever saw. 1Whitby councillor Tom Edwards said people on welfare are best ser- ved by municipalities because they are "ion the spot." He voted againat the motion as did Whitby coundilor Gerry Emm. Whitby- Mayor Bob Attersley voted for the motion.

Norm Panzica FROM PAGES5 proximateiy 500,000 people -in Canada, U.S. and Europe. Now living in Toronto,- Panzica is also a consultant to the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police and a consultant to the Surgeon Generai. "'Neyer say that 'This drug is safer than that drug'," said Pan- zica, who insists that alcohol is far from being 'safe'. "It's toc available, toc accep- table- and too cheap, and some idiots are trying to seil it in corner stores. There's nothing funny about a drunk." Panzica said that there are no "chronic users" over the age of 15 tha t dQn't deai. "There's no 'dopars over here,' 'dealers over there'. They're typically the saine guy. "They deal for emotional reasons. They think, 'If I'm doing something unreasonabie, I want you todo it, toc'. "One sick concept got us into this 1980's drug mess - you're sup- posed to feel gocd ail the time," he told parents. The increase is expected to covei the Town's cost for processing and monitoring the license. According to the clerk's. depar- tment it costs $50 to receive the bingo application and forward it to Durham Regionai Police, $70 to review and approve 'the ap- plication, $12 to set up a file, $30 to forward the license and infor- mation to the applicant, $120 to monitor the bingo and review te financial reports and $100 for ad- ministrative costs and equipment. According to- the cierk, it costs the Town a total of ý$38 to handie a 13-week license. The Town had previously been charging $118. The new fee represents two par cent of the total value of prizes awarded on the first bingo date and Correctionr The Whitby Station Gallery received a $38,000 grant froin Whit- by council and not $43,000 as was reported in last week's edition of the Free Press. The gaiiery's grant represents a $23,000 zoparating grant and a $15,000 capital grant, $7,500 for ian- dscaping and installation of a sign and $7,500 for a study to determine future facility needs and a study of washrooms for the handicapped and a vestibule.
