Vaughan Township Council approved the compromise two- year extension at its afternoon meeting and Richmond Hill Council approved it at its even- ing meeting on February 16. Richmond Hill's representa- tives, however. suggested exten- sion for one year only to de- termine the effect of GO Tran- sit: to be introduced in a few months on~the Yonge Street bus operation. During the fourth quarter of 1969, operalion of the Yonge Stréet buses ran up a deficit of $1,222.90. Richmond Hill has been billed for $611.44 and each township for half that amount. The deficit includes $561.82 for seat tax. Councils Renew ‘ The TTC Contract The townships' representa- tives indicated that their re- spective councils were of the opinion that the present bus service would always be needed and were not adverse to sign- ing an agreement for another five year period, provided it could be terminated on a year's notice, it: was reported at Vaughan‘s c o u n c i1 meeting February 16. In 1949 when the ratepayers of the area decided to have the street cars which had served North Yonge replaced by buses. the right-of-way was turned over to the province for road- widening. In return the prov- lnce agreed to waive the seat tax for a period of 10 years. Since 1960, this waiver had been extended on a year-to-year basis until last year, when the government insisted that since the bus route was showing a profit. the seat tax must be paid. The total seat tax for 1969 was $2,227.40. Total deficit, after providing' for the seat tax was $1,032.76. The meeting of representa- tives was held February 2 and was attended by Councillor Louis Wainwright of Vaughan. Reeve Stewart Rumble of Mark- ham and Councillors Shaun Beggs and Eric George of Rich- mond Hill. Representatives of Richmond Hill and the Townships of Vaughan and Markham have agreed to renew the agreement with the Toronto Transit Com- mission to operate the North Yonge Bus Line for a period of two years. The existing agree- ment was signed in 1960 for a ten year period. The franchise is owned by the three municipalities, which share surplus revenue or defic- its on the basis of Richmond Hill 50%, Vaughan and Mark- ham each 25%.

Man Brings About Own Distraction By Pollution â€" Dr. Donald Chant Dr. Chant. chairman of the University of Toronto Zoo- logy Department. was intrm duced by another member of that department, D. H. (Ike) Temple of Sugar Maple Lane. Mr. Temple told the audience that Pollution Probe. an organization active in fighting pollution in all its aspects. owes its start and fatherly advice to Dr. Chant. who “has been on TV a lot these last six months". DISCOURAGING DAY The speaker reported he had had a very discouraging day at the Ontario Liberal Party annual convention in Ottawa. He had participated in a panel discussion on pol- lution, but had come away convinced that the party was “interested in pollution only as a political platform" Theme of his talk to local residents was “What Can The Individual Do To Protect Our Enviroment‘.’“ tory. many species have be- come extinct, but mankind could be the first to bring about its own destruction,“ Dr. Donald Chant told Rich- mond Hill Naturalists at their regular monthly meet~ ing February 20. More than 100 people. interested in their environment listened attentively as the guest speaker pointed out that man is poisoning himself and his environment with waste pro- ducts. He stated emphatical- ly that man must stop pollut- ing his environment: if he is to survive this century.

Dr. Chant said. with the available agricultural land. if we had complete effici- ency and no competition. we would be able to feed 30 to 40 billion people. The earth now has a population of about four billion and "two- thirds of these go to bed hungry every night and have never experienced a meal such as you enjoyed this evening. Lack of food will cause famine in certain areas â€"â€" some countries may even be wiped out, but the species will survive. There will be social unrest and upheavals." 70 MILLION MORE IN 1966 Pointing out that the hu- man population is now in the great upsweeping curve. the pollution fighter reported that in 1966, there were 130 million births and only 60 million deaths, a net increase of 70 million. the combined population of Canada, Iran and Egypt and a third of the population of the USA. “Even if you don‘t realize it the earth is a limited enâ€" vironment. The planet is no different from the test tube. It just takes a little longer," he contihued as he noted the similarities. rapidly until it reaches an apex and crashes do:.yn_ â€"- “the organism is gone." Four factors are involved.

PIONEER PHILOSOPHY The speaker feels that the pioneer philomphy that our environment and resources are placed here for our use and_at our pleasure is the mot of the problem. “We think bigness is goodneSS. We think bigness is quality." he charged. “Unless we 1earn that this is not so we are go- ing to disappear. “We can try more efficient methods to control waste products. There is no mys- tery about how to do it if the public is willing to pay for it." Dr. Chant cnntended. He noted that Victoria, Mon- treal, Hull and numerous other places (over 600 com- munities) do 'not treat human waste but dump it raw into our rivers and lakes. “We know how to control pollution by the pulp and paper industry. the biggest polluter in both Ontario and British Columbia. We know how to control hydro. Its thermal generating stations burn coal high in sulphur content which is poured into the atmosphere and on conâ€" tact with moisture forms sul- phur dioxide â€"â€" not very good for lungs." he explain- ed. “The solution is not to export Canadian coal, low in sulphur content, and im- port in its place American coal which is high in sul- phur.

Gordon McKenzie asked if there is any detergent which does not have a phosphate content. “Yes, a very com- mon one. known as soap.

Dr. Chant reported that detergents are responsible for an estimated 50% of the phosphates pour- ing into the Great Lakes sys- tem. Raw human sewage ac- cnunts for another 25% and agricultural fertilizer runoff for 25%. To Mrs. Daphne Strau- mann‘s question, “Are there hard and soft phosphates?" the speaker replied in the negative and added, “They're all bad." “We now know "some of the simple tests to see if de- tergents will. harm aquatic life." he stated. when asked about the dangers of new cleaning agents, such as en- zymes. ‘ He noted that in Ontario We have a better framework for pollution control than in most areas of Canada and the USA. "On the federal scene the new water act may prove a red herring because of its inherent weaknesses," he felt. but had high praise for the Fisheries Act which is being dusted off and given teeth. “It is against this law to put anything in the wate'r that is dangerous to fish." Fines up to $5,000 a day will be a great deterrent, he claimed. PRAISES FISHERIES ACT THURS. FRI. SAT. Open Daily TN 6 pm. Denny Featherstonhaugh Reg. Kresge Price 8.77 Pr.

He also pointed out that Great Britain has taken large steps to control water pollu- tion.

TUNED-UP "A well tuned car will re- duce pollution by 600;." Dr. Chant told his interested lis- teners. after asking for a show of hands of those who had had a recent car tune-up. "We are going after automo- bile manufacturers about air pollution." he reported. “I don‘t think it will be too long before gas turbines and steam turbines will replace internal c om b u 5 ti o n en- gines." He touched briefly on oil explorations in the Arctic. “Our stand is that we should not exploit these areas until they are needed and then un‘ der strict control. The last thing the world needs right now is another oil well,"_ he said. "Shouldn't human waste be processed to go back to the land?“ was a question to which the speaker gave un- reserved agreement. “The phosphate content cnuld be taken out at the sewage dis- pOsal plant."
