Mayor Rickard insisteti that t'iey do not bave sucha monopoly.

Mayor Rîckarti, Clerk Joe, McIlroy anti the remainder of the comîttee again appeareti to be in oppositioh to Mr. Lyall's concern on the mileage matter anti no motion for specific action resulteti. Chemicalis <From Page One) f ew years bas sbown that there bias been a price to pay for sucb tremendous growtb. Once abundant resources have been depleteti, pollution bas threatened our industrial centres andthte cost of living continues 10 spiral. An even more sirister side effect bas been noticeti in the past decade. Industrial work- ers wbo bave been employeti for long periotis of tine in certain chemnical plants bave paiti the bigbest price of al witb their bealth anti some- times their lives. it often takes a perioti of many years to determine if any adverse effects resuit froni the use of new dru gsor chemicals, but the evidelSnce lias been documenteti anti is nounting against exposure f0 sucb compountis as blue asbestos, vinyl chionide anti benzeric. The tiscovery that workers in tbe Johns Mansville lant in Toronto bati contractetiasbcs- tosis was well reporteti in the p ress last year. Not long ago, our empioyces of a B.F. Goodîicb factory in the States dieti of cancer of the liver, anti investigation of the ticatbs provedt tat if xvas not coinci- dental that ail four worked for he tire company. Xith long exposure, some chemicals attack the nervous systeni wbilc others affect the lungs, eyesigbt, beart and bladder, often resulting in deatb. 1 The ugly picture that has developed in the past few years was well described for the Bowmanville Rotary Club last week by George Brooks, a Field Representative of the United Rubber, Cork, Lino- leuni and Plastic Workers of Amenîca. He noted that 'in- dustrial hygiene' bas become a top union priority in chemi-- cal related industries. That terin, wbich will no doubt become as familiar ro -the public as 'fringeý benefits' is now, refers to the examination and restriction of use of chemnicals found to be barmful to Workers. Fortunately, the unions are not alone in their demands to prevent the use of sucb lethal chemnicals. Management bas co operated witb the unions in most instances and industrial hygiene departments bave been introduced in many of these industries. Scientific progranis bave been set up in the U.S. anti Europe to study compounds suspected of causing banni and a conference was belti in Geneva last year to discuss the effects of certain chemi- cals. Wben proof bas been estab- lisheti that a specific sub- stance causes disease or death, the government is approached to ban its use, as in the case of blue asbestos. That chemical has already been outiawed in the States, 1but tînfortunately, the Cana- dian government bas been slow to nove,' accortiing to Mr. Brooks. Legisiation is necessary especially in indus- -tries wbere costs would rise if 1a more expensive substitute ifor the tiangerous substance would be neetid to continue production. Occasionally, businessmen can be unscrupu- lous wben cost factors are involveti, Mr. Brooks noteti. He questioneti alouti the morality of costs when lives were at stake. The trade union movement is anxious to ensure that when new chemicais are tievîseti, tbey shoulti be tboroughly studieti anti cbecketi out to be sure that no banmful side effects can, resuit fron thein use. Mr. Brooks also stateti that the unions are insistent that chemicals presentlly being used are to untiergo a coni- plete investigation to clear theni for continueti use. Meanwhile, Mr. Brooks said that we cao expeet to hear more about the issue in the media as further evidence of industrial pisoning surfaces anti controls are tiemandeti. Commerce <flnntinued trom Page One) trial anaci ommercial promo- tion. Although for some timie now there has been a slow- down of industrial activity a resurgence is expected in the near future,. 1 The report on building further advises that New- castie, in conjunction with Regional officiais, has been work ing for some time pro- moting industry and Mayor Rickard states "I have per- sonnally eiven it a great deal of attention. For a healthy community, we need a bal- anced community--a place to live, to work, to shop and for cultural enrichment," the Mayor adds. t is Mayor Rickard's hope that "we will soon see some resuits of our efforts. Solicitor Upset (Continued from Page Oneý) The motion brought Mr. Cbusid back to his feet in an attack of the planning proce- dures. He insisted that bis client is being "harassed" by coutncil red tape and focused bhis complaints toward a report by Planning Directorî George Howden. In the report, Mr. Howden objects to coun- cil's decision tcoundferake a separate study of thi-e Bow- manville West Comcmunfity in isolation from the pilanning of Bowmanville as a whole. Mayor Garnet Rîckard, chairing the meeting, prevent- ed the beated discussion from getting out of band. Mr. Chusid indicated that hie and his client are extremely concerned about Mr. How- den's statemient and find it a most surprising one. He sug- gested that it is usual for-,a planner to submit opinions and recommendations to council for consideration but that once council makes a decision, such remains on record until they decide to change it. For' this reason he feels Mr. Howden is out of line in making such comments af ter cou ncil bas ruled. The beated discussion, after consumîng much of the meet- ing time, was halted by Mayor Garnet Rickard, chairîng the meeting, xvben hie advised lie bas "developers comning out of my ears," and suggested that it is council that is being harassed by those such as Mr. Cbusid. attempting to force acceptance their pilans abead of others. Council bas resolved at the request of the Region not to grant approval of any plan, in ciuding that by Murray Jones, until after the series of jublic meetings have been eld to present ail the alterna-' tives for consideration. Mayor Rickard stressed this point to Mr. Cbusid and the committee. Low Cost Housing Plan A second presentation to the committee by Cal Potter proposing the deveiopment of "10w cost bousing" in Darl- ington roused support trom Councillor Ann Cowman. A move by the-commîttee to "close the file" on Mr. Potter's proposai enraged Ms. Cowman wbo cornplained "this man offers to build single family homes for $40,000 and tbey won't even talk to him." An angry Ms. Cowman Iacked up and left the meeting efore i t ended, calling the committee "a spineless bunch. " Councillor Cowman feit that since the suggested price of Mr. Potter's bouses is some $15,000 below the regular price in the area, the proposai shouid be given full examna- tion. The committee failed to support Ms. Cowman's opin- ion, however, agreeing in- stead with the feeling of Regional Council that the proposai is "premature" and approved the motion to close the file.f This brought the meeting to a conclusion with committee member Roger Vates, due to comments by several mcm- bers that they did not fully understand the situation, cal ling for a full report by Mr. Howden on the planning procedures.. Regional Planning Commis- sioner Bill McAdams is also being invited to submit a report and attend the next committee meeting to clear up the difficuities which both the Region and the Town Planning departments are facing, ad determine the area of respon- sibility for each. CY CLIST INJURED Leland Morrison, 17, of R.R. .5, Bowmanville, was taken to Memorial Hospital by ambulance after be was struck by a car while riding his bicycle on Temperance Street late Monday after- noon.
