appreciate any suggestions you may have to help enrich program for next season Sincerely Bill Marcolinl President backing on open space why should we object to seeing that space crammed with When we bought our properties we were assured that the valley behind us had been offered to the town How dull of us not to guess that the town had not accepted the offer It is more than somewhat frustrating to know that you have spent the last five or en years cutting down on holiday trips and other such luxuries so you could spend the money on and shrubs to beaut ify your private back garden only to find that your hard work may have been done to provide an attractive back ground for the houses with Mr proposes to ruin your It was Interesting to hear Mr say at the last Planning Board meeting that the totis of fill he proposes to dump on top of the wild flowers and old apple trees will actual ly improve our properties We dldn t realize they needed provement Since the top of the slope Is well back from the houses and has never been disturbed up to now we hove never had the problems of some ravine dwellers What might be In store for us if heavy machinery starts to take out basements in the valley floor below us Is some thing else again Ontario is the Industrial heartland of Canada produc ing per cent of the nation manufacturing shipments counting per cent of total Canadian exports and produc SO per cent of Canada s exports of fully manufactured products At present our valley acta as a natural catch basin for run off from alt the surrounding streets If all that runoff is to be caught In a complicated system of concrete culverts it can only then be drained off info Silver Creek Is poor overworked Silver Creek able to handle that much more direct drainage At present the water meanders through the valley and much or It sinks into the ground If and when it reaches the creek it has been filtered and purified through of earth That would no longer be the case if the subdivision were a fact and the entrance road from Hall Read would bring much more runoff from that direction as well Speaking or Kail Road can you imagine what It will be like at the rush hours if there are more houses sending up at least SO cars by todays to make left hand turns and generally foul up the traf fie pattern right at the top of the Nerval Do people happily living on other ravine lots in George

have just finished reading Dr Frank Phi I brooks teller asking for his constituents op inions on banning the right to strike in certain essential vices The Federal Government uses ihc term designated to Identify its who don have the right to strike and the designated personnel don have a strike vote The Federal Government abuses or misuses the right to dcslg note employees I am afraid very few people would have the right to strike if some of Ihc diehards in the have heir way Who should have the right to strike would remind Dr PhD brook that a couple of years or so ago our Doctors threatened to withdraw their services Is that not striking At Ihe lime there was no talk of legislating them back to work if they strike when Ihe Nurses threatened the same action the papers were full of talk of ordering them back to work I would answer Phi I brook questions by ask a question Who in todays is not essential 1 can think of damn few Should we then ban strikes How would employers bargain in good faith knowing that their emp loyees invoke the ult imale and strike The die- hards could advise those den led the right to strike to quiet and gel another job That Is not if you are over forty or if
