The target for the radio appeal is $14,000 this year. This figure includes funds for a new workshop which would enlarge the available training space, and contribute consid- erably to the effectiveness of the program. Local businesses have al- ways been generous in their support and the association expects that advance donat- ions will take care of a good portion of the required fund- ing, for the new facility as well as the annual operating ex- penses.. The following conversation was included in the Associat- ion's press release to illustrate the usefulness of the work- shop: A TELEPHONE POLE NEVIR HITS A CAR EX-' EPT IN SELF DEFENCE BYAM PLUMBING & HEATING and AIR CONDITIONING TYRONE, ONTARIO Phone 263-2650 Retarded Gerry: "I like if here, It is much better than sta ing home alone.

Associates, blasting control consultants hired by St. Mary's to monitor their detonations. Mr. Mc- Anuff demonstrated to the committee that all blasting carried on by St. Mary 's was well within the safe level of vibration intensity. At that time it was recom- mended that St. Mary's should im rove their public relations and meet with the residents. who have been complaining. Because of the strength of the Monday blast, Coun. Hobbs moved that the record show that if the blast coula rattle windows at the old town hall. this would indicate that the complaints against St. Mary's s¯hould be investigat- ed. The committee passed this motion unanimously. Coun. Hobbs indicated that some Bowmanville residents arediscussing damage claims with their insurance compan- îes for foundation cracks.

The worth of these freedoms is more evident to adopted citizens than to those who have neyer experienced the repression and restraint associated with other ways of life. Nothing is more valued by our citizens who come from other countries than the sense of being fully accepted in the Canadian community without having to conform to a specified pattern. Mrs. Twist thanked the Bowmanville Women's In- stitute met in Trinity S. S.S. room on Nov. 7th with 25 present. President Mrs. Downey welcomed everyone arid the meeting opened by singing "O Canada" and the Institute Ode and repeated in unison the Mary Stewart Collect. Minutes were read and approved. Mrs. Downey reported the "Fun Fair" at Maple Grove on Thursday afternoon Oct. 24th, had been quite successful and enjoyable. Arrangements were made for the Christmas programme on Dec. 5th and tickets were sold for the turkey dinner. Roll call was answered with names of Countries from which im- migrants come to Canada. Mrs. Twist was in charge of the program on "Citizenship and World Affairs", with Mrs. Bell, Mrs. Malley and Mrs. T. Buttery assisting. Each read papers on Immigration into Canada, which at the end of this year is likely to exceed four million. This makes Canada the world's second main immigration country, United States being first. This is due to Canada's natural and material resources along with the generosity and hospitality of its citizens and government. About 10 per cent were refugees. In October 1967, the Canad- ian Government made exten- sive changes to its immigra- tion policy concerning stand- ards for selecting immigrants. Selection was the same for all immigrants equally by, no matter wtiat country they came from. But those who might seem liable to endanger public health, safety of law and order. were, and still are, excluded. Immigrants who can successfully establish themselves economically and socially are encouraged and assisted to come, also those with skills required by the Canadian economy are espec- ially recruited. Relatives of Canadian res- idents, refugees and now immigrants whose temporary entry is required on a short term basis, are also admitted. The Department of Manpower and Immigration maintains offices in 35 countries which also serve those countries in which there are no offices. In Sept. 1973, the Canadian minister of manpower and immigration announced the launching of a study to create a new long term Canadian immigration and population policy. Close to 200 organiza- tions and groups across Cana- da were asked for their comments and individuals were asked to express their views. A "green paper" will be published in 1974, outlining the many options in the field of Immigration and consequen- ces of each. Mrs. Twist read comments of an early immi- grant telling of the hardships they had to endure, their way of living and how prices differ from today. Mrs. Morrison gave the motto, "Blending of Nation- alities enriches the Nation." By becoming a Canadian citizen a person shows he is no longer satisfied to be merely a guest in the bouse where he lives but that be bas, in fact, become one of the family. If you are a newcomer you are free to live your own life without reporting to any authority. You can start a business or get a job provided you have the necessary skills. You can buy a bouse, drive a car, educate your children, join clubs and societies of your ladies who helped her and the meeting was closed as we san the Hymn, "Lord of the lands make Canada thine own."

For years, we've been working from Toronto, working at long dis- tances from many of you. That's ail changed now. The Min istry of the Environment has come to you. Environmental matters are now being looked after in six Regional Offices through- out the province. There are also 23 district offices to help keep a closer eye on environ- mental services-air, land and water. Each region has a Director, someone whose only job is to care for the environmental needs of that specific "piece" of Ontario.
