PAGE 6, WEDNESDAY, JUNL 27, 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS B3r«k1 in Byiries By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH ECali 655-3679 wlth Items for this coumn The 1984 Conference for Women of the United Church of Canada was held recently ini Waterloo, Ont. Marion Young and-Doreen McCartney atten- ded on behaif of the Brooklin UCW. The main speaker was Hazel MeCallion, Mayor of Mississauga. Her message transended political and religious denominations to speak to ail women. The feisty Ms. MeCallion began by exhorting "Church women ... to give Up teas'and quilting and contribute to the moral fabrie of this country". She urged the delegates and women in general to become involved in the issues facing their com- munities. "Party loyalty doesn't solve problems", she asserted. 1"Women need to- speak up and challenge al political candidates on where they stand in regard to federal cutbacks on housing for seniors and low income people. It's not enough to stuff envelopes and lick stamps."' Women need to becqme involved with the. problemns created by unemployment and work towards resolving themf. In the administration of justice, they need to speak Up for the rigbts of victims as well as the per- petrators of crime. They need to proteet the sanctity of the home and figbt the growing condonance of immorality exhibited through our publications, movies and television or even worse, such public in- stitutions as the echool board that recently voted to issue contraceptives to students instead of teachlng them the values of love, responslbillty and ab- stinence. This country has tradltlonaily been run by men and in the light of the state things are in, it's past time that we women came out of the background and took the reigns of authority In our own teeth. To do this we need to gain political experience by joining ratepayers organizations, serving on agency boards, volunteering for municipal committies and attending council and committee meetings. As Ms. McCallion urges, "learn your way around. Find out what makes your municipality tick. There is an unlimited challenge before us.

I76 Baldwin St., I Brooklin [655-w4229 CORPORATION OF THE' TOWN 0F WHITBY NOTICE RE DOG CONTROL Despite thE developer's decision noi to go ahead with planE for the expansion ol Brooklin, the hamiet can link-up 44 additional residential units to itE water supply. Last week, Durhamv Regional Council was told that the hamlet's well has been re-rated th accommodate the ad- ditional units. According to Regional Councillor Gerry Emm, chairman of the Durham public works committee, the 44 units will not necessarily be new homes. "There are some plans of subdivision thal are ready to go" i Brooklin, Emm said ad- ding, "there may not be 44 altogether. They may be homes that want to hook-up." He was quick to point out that the report wil] not solve Brooklin's problenis. "It has the worst systeni in the whole region, " he noted. The report also noted that' there are twc possible solutions to the hamlet's water supply problenis. The first, costing an estimated, $12 million, will serve as many as 3,000 people and. wifl require the construction of a puxnping station at the Garrard Rd. reser- voir. The plan will also require the installation of a 12 inch diameter feedermain from the reservo ir to Winchester Rd. and a s ix-inch diameter l,'ooping on Cassels and Winchester Rds. The second solution, which will cost an estimiated -$3.5 million, will allow growth in the hanilet to 6,000 from its current 150 epe This plan will.ýequire, the .-,same:,-,pumping, station and feedermain as well as an addition pumping' station and reservoir on Winchester Rd. and . another feedermain leading to an elevated tank. <It is 'interesting to note that $1.2 million is the psttlement currently being sought > by ~-urham Regional Chairman Gary t f t Herrema from the developers of the now defunct Brooklin expan- sion scheme. Emni said that he would like, to get regional support for the first solution noting that it would substantially improve the hamlet's water supply system. Future development of Brooklin is now doub- tful, Emm added. And, if necessary, Emni said that the region should proceed to cash the developer's let- ter of credit which was posted when the developrnent agreement with the region was signed to carry out the work. Last week, Herrema told the Free Press that no meeting-ý had been held recently between the region and the developers. Speaking- ç By SCOTT FENNELL, MP <PC - Ontario) 1 would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the small businesses in myrding, as well as throughout Canada, because they are the ones who have been creating jobs, in this country while big business has been forced to, lay off workers. The smail business sector includes 760,000 businesses (9 6 per cent of ail business in Canada), employs 2.7 million Canadians and creates close to 50 per cent of al new jobs in theprivate sector. The value of the entrepreneurial spirit cannog be understated. It is the, entrepreneurs who are going to help put the two million Canadians who are currently unemployed, back to work. And that is going to be no smafl task. It would seem reasonable then, if not urgent, that the goverrnent should be offering encouragement to this important sector. After ail Ed Lumley came Up with the industrial and regional development program to aid the industrialsector.I realise that Donald Johnston admits that* this ,particular program üýshou-ld be scrappedbecause, too m4çcl, of the taxpayer s money is being spei*inin propping up industrial losers rather than promoting winingWýen- terprises. This ,,lead s me to conclude that this coun- try really does need a new government with new and workable ideas. A Progressive Conservative government would address teh major irritants which plague small business. We would work to: reduce excessive regulation and paperburden; review governxnent purchàsingpolicywith a view toensuringtasll business,à -obtais tfirer share of gvrmn business;- increase the amount of managemet assistance, available to' the smal entrepreneur through such vehicles as the CASE program; better control'goývernment_ spending .to ensure that h eavy government b6rri.gng does, notcroWd out private borrowing and resuit «in ,"higther interest--rates; .and we would examine both the leivel oftaxation and the complexity of the tax system facing smail business. A Progressive Conservative government would establish a new economic climate in Canada 'by making it very clear to ail that the private sector is and must continue to be the driving force in the econorny.
