The provincial government has decided to ban temporarily the use of two controversial herbicides (2. 4. 5-T and 2. 4, 5-TP) which contain minute quantities of dioxin. even though a government appointed committee and the federal departments of Agriculture and Health and Welfare have recommended that use of the chemicals be allowed. In an interview following his an- nouncement of the two year ban. the Minister of the Environment stated that the herbicides are being banned due to public anxiety over dioxin â€" the most toxic of man- made chemicals, traces of which have recently been found in [We Lake Ontario fish. Both the suspect her- bicides are known to be contaminated by small amounts of dioxin, and US. researchers have stated that a mere 11,200th of a drop of pure dioxin would prove fatal. To replace these two herbicides (which are incidentally used to control vegetation on Hydro rights-of-way and along highways) the government will allow the fise of Queen ’3 Park Report By ALF STONG MLA â€" York Centre 6 PACK GERANIUMS ,0, $4.50 CONTAINER GROWN SPREADING EVERGREENS AS “"16 AS SUPPLY lAS'I'S THE LIBERAL.

X-RAY MACHINES A team of three physicists and an engineer have released a report stating that ex- cessive radiation from X- ray machines is causing some 20 leukemia cases a year in Qntario. u -l.‘ J"1‘he University of Toronto‘s Dr. Kenneth Taylor and his colleagues, who have been working on this problem, believe that these 20 cases can be reduced to tw0. Dr. Taylor has been awarded $300,000 over the next three years for a program to minimize radiation levelsr Based on a survey of 20 hospitals during 1977 and 1978. some 5 per cent of hospital X-ray machines emit exceptionally high doses of radiation because they are not adjusted properly. This figure is a statistical estimate based on preliminary findings. In addition, the president of the 2,700- member Ontario Society for Radiological Technicians has stated that in this province Each 'wmu QUANTITIES lAST anyone is permitted to run an X-ray machine E without specialized ..P( training or a licenge. _ cek She also stated that Ontario was warned at least ten years ago that some hospital patients were being exposed to dangerously high radiation levels when having X-rays. MEDICARE Provincial medicare continues to be a widespread topic of discussion. The Federal Minister of Health has stated that Ontario‘s contribution to health costs has “dwindled down to close to nothing" â€" a statement denied by the Provincial Treasurer. Meanwhile‘ the Provincial Minister of Health has said that Ontario residents don‘t have to worry about a reduced standard of health care due to the federal threat to cut health care payments to the Province. He considers the threat an election move, while his colleague. the Provincial Treasurer. says such a cut in funding is unthinkable. The United Auto Workers union has said it may ask for a private health plan in contract negotiations if doctors continue to drop out of OHIP. 12 For SEE OUR lARGE SELECTION OF PERENNIAL EEOWERS I 101 I BAYVIEW RICHMOND Hlll. 884-6091 $12.00 $4.95 While They lost Spring Sale Spreading Evergreens VEGETABLE PLANTS ‘ Super All Purpose 14-7-7 with 25% Milorganite As the spring progresses the nitrogen content applied to the lawn should be lowered in relation to other plant nutrients.
