6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowrnanville, June 2, 1976 Section Two Expand ed Dumop At Port Granby Urged in Report A consulting engineering report has recommended expansion of the dump site that Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. is presently using for nuclear waste in Port Granby. The report by James F. MacLaren Ltd. considered over 50 other locations to dump approximately 150,000 cubic yards of nuclear waste. After considering a site in Cobourg, one near the Wark- worth prison and the Port Granby site, three locations that originally were suggested by the AECB, the consulting engineers and planners rec- ommend the expansion of the present dumping site. "It would appear that the present properties owned by Eldorado Nuclear Ltd. in the Welcome and Port Granby areas which have been used for waste disposal, may be able to be expanded and utilized for the disposal of materials as intended," the report states. The reporVwhich was order- ed by the AECB early in February of this year is based on the results of a survey done in the middle of March. The purpose of the study was to pinpoint locations in the Port Hope area requiring the removal of nuclear residue and to estimate a cost for the clean up operations. The preliminary report has estimated that initial cost of cleaning up 47 locations in Port Hope will be $1,706,200. Another $540,000 would be required to develop a dump rl site for the radioactive waste, the report estimates. The report states that the first stage of the operation is expected to take about five months to complete. The study also urges that operations begin no làter than July 1, 1976 in order to have the project completed no later than December when cold weather is expected. "This presupposes that the waste management site will be operational by this July date," the study states. "The possible approval pro- cedure and alternatives avail- able at this time, to permit licencing of the proposed facility are not clear. How- ever, it is obvious that if a public participation and hear- ing stage are included, the licencing could be delayed substantially." Computer Prevents Nightmare A computer has come to the rescue of weed researchers at the Agriculture Canada Regina, Sask., Research Station who have, until now, had to sort through hundreds of pages of technical infor- mation to find solutions to problems. But now, for the first time, data on annual weeds in annual crops will be handled by computer, relieving researchers of their frustrat- ing and time-consuming task. 22 King Street, West, Oshawa Telephone (416) 576-6800 Opening new doors to small business. Speaks to Local P.C.'s Arthritis Society Appeals For Kiwanis CIub's Support The Bowmanville Kiwanis Club has been asked to support and possibly to start a branch of the Canadian Arth- ritis and Rheumatism Society in the area. Mark Courtemanche, a field representative of the Arthritis Society was the club's guest speaker at their morning meeting on May 26th. Mr. Courtemanche outlined the major goals of the society through slides showing some grim reminders of the affects of the disease as well as in the light of recent developments and research. Making information about the disease public is one important goal that the society is trying to accomplish through the distribution of pamphlets in doctors' offices and through newspapers, Mr. Courtemanche said.

Terry Jones was tthe guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Durham East Progressive Conservative Association last Wednesday evening at Bowmanville High School. He urged local Conservatives to dig in at the grass roots level to prevent "our socialists friends" from taking over the government of Ontario. New Books The Fainily Camping Handbook by Jerome and Alyson Knap For those who are camping enthusiasts this is a bible. It contains basic information for the amateur yet also has suggestions useful to even the most seasoned hiker and camper. The authors are Canadian and so this book describes camping in this country as well as in the U.S. and Mexico. Various types of equipment are described and evaluated as are clothing, boots and food. Winter camp- ing is also discussed. Even the question of taking your pet along is included. Other topics include fires and firemaking, insects and animals, how to pack, how to walk and what tools to take along. A must for every camper. Auld Acquaintance by Guy Lombardo For over 50 years Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians have been playing "the sweetest music this side of heaven". This is the story of the man behind the band that became a North American tradition, a band that is still popular even in the '70's. It is a warm picture of a bygone era and will be enjoyed by anyone who remembers when. The Michaelmas Girls by John Brooks Barry I imagine we all know the story of Jack the Ripper. In November 1888 someone murdered and mutilated six prostitutes in a central area of London, England. The killer was never found. This is a novel which sets up a new tleory as to who the killer may have been and it also suggests that he had a female accomplice. The hero is a social worker in that areatof London at the time of the murders. He talks to police, newspapermen, residents of the area and friends of the at Library victims and records his find- ings in a diary which is this novel. This is an interesting approach to a most puzzling crime. Daylight Must Come by Alan Burgess In 1953 Dr. Helen Roseveare left her comfortable middle class home in England to become a medica. missionary in the Belgian Congo (now Zaire). She battled snakes, roadless wilderness, lack of medical supplies and ignor- ance in her attempt to give the native people good health care. She often treated hundreds of patients in a single day and sometimes had to operate in the light of a lamp. She even set up a flying medical service. But Dr. Roseveare is white and when political unrest and tribal wars occurred in the early 1960's she had to be evacuated by the United Nations because countless other whites were horribly mistreated and murdered. She herself was raped, beaten and otherwise mistreated . . . Her years in the Congo were both fascin- ating and heart-rending and one comes to admire her a great deal upon reading her story. The Prometheus Crisis by Thomas Scortia One of the solutions to the energy crisis that is often proposed is the building of more and larger nuclear plants. This is a fictionalized account of the one chance in 300,000,000; a disaster in a nuclear plant. Untold death and destruction results. Could such a thing really happen? Who knows? This very well- written book does explore such a possibility and will provoke much thought Did you know that any resident of the Town of Newcastle can join the library free of charge.

By making knowledge easily available to the public, however, the Arthritis Society hopes to stamp out tales which encourage people to believe that carrying a potato or wearing a bracelet 24 hours a day will cure the disease. No cure has been discovered yet from research into the disease's cause. But, certain ways of handling arthritic pain are recommended over others to bring relief to people who suffer from it. Researchers have found that aspirin not only is the best drug to relieve arthritic pain and inflamation, but it is also the safest one to take. Although advances have been made in surgery for treatment of the disease, rest and the right kind of exercise are still held as necessities for recovery. Before any treatment can be given, however, a diagnosis must be made by a qualified doctor because of the many different kinds of arthritis that it is possible to have. Rheumatoid arthritis, osteo- arthritis and arthritis from gout are the three most common kinds of disease, but there are over 100 other types as well. The treatment of rheum- atoid arthritis which usually affects hands, feet, wrists, elbows and knees involves simple remedies over a long period of time. Osteoar hritis, sometimes called degenerative joint disease is caused simply by long and heavy use of particu- lar joints. It occurs to people usually later in life and is treated by taking the strain off the joint that is in poor condition. The arthritis from gout is caused by a person's body chemistry and can run in a family. The often painful attacks can be relieved by small amounts of a drug that reduces the body chemistry causing the pain. Besides providing infor- mation to the public, another goal of the Arthritis Society is to continually improve methods of care for people suffering from the disease. Researchers have estimat- ed that the disease which has completely disabled 95,000 Canadians and partially crip- pled 428,000 bas been respons- ible for $500 million in losses over a period of nine million wasted days. It has also been traced as one of the major root causes of poverty in Canada. The charitable organization also spent more than $1,250,000 in 1973 on research for rheumatic diseases which included grants for project research and rheumatic disease unit development. This year the federal government spent $30 million on research and on improve- ments in patient care, Mr. Courtemanche said. With one out of every five Canadians suffering from arthritis and almost every family in the country either directly or indirectly affected by the disease, the organization hopes the public will be behind them when they are canvassing for funds this year. Although the arthritis society receives funds from the federal government, ôrganizers have found that they still depend on the public for their support, Mr. Courte- manche said.
