IgThe Canadian Champion, Wednesday, Janusey il, 1967 - Our Readers Write- AT WILAT PuICE INDUSTIAL PROGPRSS? Dear Sir: For sumeune living milen away and unaffected by blaxi- ing, expouding the fine vie- tues of the quarriex comtex easy. Leading lip ervice la de- fease of the quarries ix cheap, as long as someone elses hume sostains the blast damage. Ctcsing dcwn the qurrles has acter been suggesled.

As siated in a intter tu your paper, only about 200 derive a living front the qurries, each earning about $5000 per year. Thats less than $100 a week: nt a great deal o money by îodays standards. To erm iis amouel. the non-union worker must seork muny hours in es- cess af the standard 40 hour week. Oui of this amouni must be paid the high cost of living, and the seemingly e n l1 e s s mortgage pavments. Q ua r ry workers arc not onike othet home uwners and spend mucb ut their lives paying for their homes. Many are as coaceen- ed about blasi damage as otb* er residents, but understund- plaint Fise îhousand dolars a seue i, not enough il ycur emptoyers btasting damages the home vout abor so long tu pop for.

The responsibility 1cr pro- icction of thc escarpmeflt rests mosi heas'ily on the destroyer and those in Local und Provin- cial Goveroment. Tisus far, their lack of action condones the crime and no protection for the escurpment or bomne owner bus been provided. How much longer wiil they wuit? Residents are generaily agreed thut control over blasiing ix long overdue, and are uppailed tu see the luck of concern shosen.
