The number of Whitby ares people looking for work through the Canada Employment centre has dropped in the past year.. Statistics released by the Oshawa office of the CEC showed that there were 1,208 people registered as looking for employment in 'the .Whitby area. At the end of Deceni- ber, 1980 that figure was 1,527. However, Gary Huiier of the CEC said the statistics should be balanced with other recent events. A year ago, he said, 66 agreements were signed with local finms under the Canada Manpower Industrial Training Pro- gram which paid a share of the salaries'of people hired. A total of 94 people were hired. This'year nine agree- ments have been signed and'> 14 people have been placed in jobs un- der the prograni., He added that the CEC estima'tes that only about 25 per cent of 'un- employed people 'lîst themselves. However, the figures for the Oshawa, Whitby and Ajax areas show an increase over the last year. In December 1980 there were 9,482 offi- cîally listed with the CEC"and la st month that figure was 11,004.

GEORGE ASHE, MI? (PC - Durham West) Ontario Minister of Revenue IS UFFI A HEALTH HAZARD? It has now been a year since the federal govern- ment announced the temporary ban of urea formai- dehyde foani insulation (UFFI) and an increasing nuniber of homeowners have organized into lobby groups to pressure the federal government and the provincial government into action. Provincial Action: Approximateîy 30,000 Ontario homes are in- sulated with UFFI and the Ministry, of Health has taken thelead in pressuring thie federal government to take action. Testing, progranis have been esta-' blished and a ,survey devised to determine the physical symptoms of the gas and the Public Health units have kept citizens infôrmed of the resuits. On November 13, the Ministry of Health, in a presentation to the federal Board of Review, obser- ved that "there are substantial questions raised regarding the health impact of UFFI" to continue the ban. By December 22, the Ministry of Labour had tested over 4,200 homes and over, 2,800 of these homes have had the resuits analysed and reviewed by the Ministry of Health. Less than 12 per cent of these homes had gas concentrations above the ac- cepted threshold of 0.1 parts per million (ppm) and of the remaining percentage, 55 per cent had gas levels of .05 ppm or less. Federal Response: On June il, 'the federal goveripnent announced that an information centre with'a toil-free number would be es tablished tO register public complaints and gather information., A testing survey of 2,000 homes. began in July and a board of review was established to register public complaints and gather information. A testing survey of 2,000 homes began in July andLa board of review was established under the H-azardous Products Act, to hear submissions f romn industry and the public. Up until December, the federal'government resisted public and provincial efforts to take any meaningful action or admit legal responsibility for the approval of UFFI in the Canadian Home Insula- tion Prograni. On December 23, it ýwas announced the federal assistance would be available to homeowners with gas levels above 0.1 ppm, and to those who have ex- perienced adverse health effects. Grants will be made available to a maximum of $5,000 per home and applications are to be returned before June 30, 1983. The total cost of the federaàl prograin is esti- mated at $110 million. Medical Evidence: A study conducted by the Chemical Industry of Toxicology on rats and'mice indicated that nasal cancers were formed in animais exposed- to the maximum dose of 15 ppm, six hours per day, five days per week for 24 months. 1A United States federal panel on formaldehyde substantiated the, above res.uits concluding that "the levels of formaldehyde causing cancer in an- imais are not greatly different from those t'O which consumers are exposed." < PIZZA &SUBS 118 ATHOL ST. 666-3366 For pick up or dellvery we can f1111 your party needs.
