New Outdoor Education Centre Planned For Boyd Conservation Area We do not believe this irresponsible decision had the support of the mem- bership of the organization. _The Naturalists are an organiza- tion to which we all owe-a great debt as they are serving as volunteer watchdogs in the fight against pollu- tion and-exploitation. If it had not been _for them and their efforts in ppmtmg out the problems of pollu- tion of our natural beauty spots, we could well have lost, through indif- ference, our heritage of clean air, That the campaign was conceived without too much thought is evident. It should have been clear, even in reaching a spur - of â€" the - moment decision, that the 35,000 to 40,000 cans for' which labels were requested would never be seen by Premier Robarts, but would only increase the workload of those who handle his mail. In- fact, they did not even reach his office, it has been disclosed, but were “combed out” in the Legis- lature post office.

More than a century and a half ago John Keats wrote: “A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:, - Its loveliness increases; it will never ’ Pass into nothingness; but still Unfortunately, under present con- ditions, its loveliness will only be preserved and increased through the expenditure of a fairly large sum of money. Pollution and deoxygeniza- tion by human acts and by nature itself would have seen this beauty spot “pass into nothingness” had concerned people not taken definite action. It is to the credit of our two local regional representatives, Mayor Wil- liam Lazenby and Councillor Donald Plaxton. that they stood upon the proper democratic principles of mun- Residents at this time in future years will owe a debt of gratitude to Since the advent of non-refundable bottles on the soft drink market, this newspaper has, on many occasions, supported all moves aimed at having such containers banned. We have also supported more stringent legislation against those who litter the land- scape with empty pop and beer cans, many times, since these containers appeared on the market. The appointments should not have been made by a process of “log roll- ing" and political jockeying by memâ€" bers of council in secret meetings behind the acenes. But we did not support the can- mailing campaign by the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. which was dis- continued ]ast Thursday. The cam- paign was aimed at embarrassing Premier John Robarts into banning non-returnable beverage containers. We do not believe this irresponsible decision had the support of the mem- bershipiof the organization. staff appointments should have been made strictly on the merits of all available applicants. We feel this was a highly improper procedure. Making appointments in this manner opens the way for all sorts of political patronage and scul- duggery. Incumbents from two former local regimes were arbitrarily installed in key posts in the new regional admin- istration. The new regional government’s two top jobs were filled without the free and open contest which the public interest demands. :- 1 r"The positions of chief adminis- trative officer and municipal clerk were not advertised.

The council also has already moved toward making the same kind of mistake in selecting an interim banker without a free and open hear- ing of applicants. But it is no doubt possible that even more capable and experienced applicants might have appeared if they had been given the opportunity to come forward. . Regardless of the demonstrated in- tegrity and capability of the two appointees, Administrator J a c k Rettie and Clerk Robert Vernon, the new regional council now has a stain on its record. Parks Committee Chairman Shaun Beggs, who through his association with the Ontario Parks Board learned substantial provincial grants are available and set out to secure them to develop this beauty spot and to ensure that it will continue to offer “a bower quiet” for us and for future generations.

We will be watching to see if this unhappy practice continues to spread in the new regional regime.

We comp- liment them on their unremitting fight to preserve these things for us and for future generations. However, we feel we must call the campaign to mail empty pop cans to the busy Premier of this province an irresponsible and thoughtless act. Premier Robarts is so busy, in fact, that concern about his health is openly expressed, and such harrass- ment is ill-advised. Especially in poor taste were those bundles of garbage and broken glass which joined the mail going to the Premier’s office at Queen’s Park. Aurora Mayor Dick Illingworth is to be congratulated especially for his strenuous opposition.

Every year distinguished artists from over 100 coun- tries donate their work for consideration for the renowned UNICEF Greeting Card Collection. The 1970 selection of cards features work from paintings by well known con- temporary Canadian Artists William Winter and the late Marc Aurele Fortin, whose work is permanently repre- sented in the Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City museums, at Queen's University and in Paris. A striking painting. “Eskimo Fishing" from recently deceased artist, Paunchiak. is also included in the collec- tion. and a beautiful card has been produced from Noel Lavasseur‘s “Kneeling Angel", a wood carving which he executed in Quebec in 1732 and is now in the National Gallery in Ottawa. One hundred and twenty countries are served by your UNICEF contribution â€" and the needs are many and growing each year. This is why UNICEF greetings are so vital and why so much depends on your purchase of cards. calendars and hasty notes. Since direct assistance to 900 million children is obviously impossible. UNICEF‘s goal is to encourage and mobilize people in all the developing countries who are striving to improve the future of their countries’ children. In addition to supplying food. medicine and equipment. UNICEF aims to help people to help themselves. follow- ing the philosophy of the Chinese proverb that says “If you give a man a fish. he will eat for a day; if you teach him how to fish. he will never go hungry." The UNICEF approach is the same in all fields, whether nutrition. disease eradication, mother-child health care. schooling. vocational training. or social welfare. UNICEF helps provide the supplies, equipment, financial assist- ance for training personnel, transportation facilities, and whatever is required to get a long-range program off the ground. and firmly established, in the national policy of the assisted country. Everyone wins when you send UNICEF greetings. These may be obtained locally from Richmond Hill Credit Union. 66 Yonge Street South. from 9 to 5 pm weekdays, on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. The UNICEF Christmas Folder is packed with colorful illustrations of artist designed Christmas Cards, the calendar diary, delightfully illustrated by children, and the everApopular hasty notes, in‘ a choice of three designs. Every card you send sends needed medicine and aid to a sick. or distressed child. Five boxes send enough vaccine to protect 300 cildren from tuberculosis. Order 16 boxes and you can help cure 120 youngsters of trachoma. Greeting Card Committee Chairman for Richmond Hill is Mrs. James Fraser, 336 Crosby Avenue. In Aurora is Mrs. Shirley Horton, 42 Algonquin Crescent.

Education Director Sam Chapman reported several other letters in the same vain, but reported too that one York County teacher had returned the copy of the book received from the board so that it could be redistributed to save money and permit the hiring of more teachers to relieve the “deplor- able” situation in the schools.

Sometimes our country needs drastic surgery to cut out the cancer of society, not the platitudes of those who give aid and comfort to traitors, crim- inals and murderers. The majority of Canadians agree with Prime Minister Trudeau, especially those of us who have studied his background, and recognize that he is the last Canadian politician who has the ambition to destroy our democratic system. Regarding only Socialists guard the worker’s rights, she didn’t explain what workers. If she means the labor union members, the NDP backs them every time and never objects to the 20% or 30% wage increases which are the chief causes of inflation. The NDP did not even object to the $3.00 an hour raise the crane operators received recently, and those of us who are non‘union members, pen- sioners, farmers and on fixed incomes wonder if the political arm of labor gives any thoughts to our declining standard of living. Dear Mr. Editor: Mrs. Beatrice Bryant‘s letter in your November 12 issue entitled “Only The Socialists Guard The Worker’s Rights,” and which praises Tommy Doug- las, the federal NDP leader for opposing the War Measures Act and painting a dismal picture of what will happen under more repressive legislation, proves ihe is what our Prime Minister called, “A bleeding eart.” I would like to remind Mrs. Bryant that Stephen Lewis, the new leader of the Ontario NDP was elected because of the full support of the labor union delegates, and therefore he will support them 100% no matter what they demand. Consequently every time unions demand and receive increases in wages beyond .their capita increase in production, prices rise which lower the standard of living of farmers, non-union workers, pensioners and others on fixed incomes. These groups far outnumber the members of labor unions, and in their own interests should not support the demagogues of the NDP who pro- fess with tears in their eyes that they are working in the interests of all workers, the poor and de- pressed. Mrs. Bryant is naive and one of those dreamers who believe we can have utopia and all of us live the life of Riley under a Socialist government. We cannot have a perfect society as long as human beings are imperfect. The selfishness of labor unions and their political arm, the NDP proves this fact conclusively.

It is, by any measure. a grossly inflationary settlement. and there is faint reason to hope for much better from the UAW’s parity-committed coun- tenparts here as they sit down to negotiate details at the Can- adian contract. In all it is estimated by some to add $1.80 an hour in wage and fringe benefits to union contracts. On flat pay increases. workers get 51 cents (13 per- cent) added to hourly earnings of $3.80 this year; over ‘three years, with cost of living incre- ments. increase average 10 percent a year.
