~-~--Mil ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 8th, 1969 OÉ-AR ýO WEEKLY TIMES Second Class Mail Registration Number 0368 ubshdevery Thlursdayv at the office of publication Main Street, Orono, Ontarie. Phone 983-5301 Established in 1938 by R. A. Forrester Ro>y C. Forrester - Editoqr and Publisher ReioalEthsis Enithusiasm for Regional Government in Clarke Township appeurs te be somewhat lacking, judging from statements made by local politicians at the recent Warden's Banquet held in Orono. Mr. Alex Carruthers, M.P.P. for Durhamn, in, briefly speaking on regional government, saidthat he hoped it was a long way off. lie also saici that it was his belief that in the Unitedi Counti.es there was an ideal regien for devel- opne nt. H1e di urge bis audience to become well inLfrmed and not to panic. Deputy-reeve, H. E. Walkey of Clarke Township, was "hopeful that Regional Government doesn't affec,-t us." He aise îappeared te bean te the United Counties as a region saying thait most of us leel that we are talldng to ieighbours wlien speaking to representatives of the vani- ous municipalities within the United Counties. Warden andi Reeve Roy A. Foster in a referral to regional goverinent also 'seemed te feel that the United Counties was a sound basis for a regional area. It will be unfortunate If our elected representatives have alrea<ly made up titeir minds on areas for regi<mal ýcv,- ernrnent. Titis would corne befere studies are conileted and before',aLf nts cati be reasonably discussed, One miust keep an open minci in this maiter at titis tince. The trend of thought on regionai government on Friday'was quite different te, that expressed at the recent Chamber of Commerce bainùuet at which time Mr. Frost, Administrator for Whitby, spoke. Of course tjie audience w,às quite diffrent from one of elected representatives to, enre of the general public. It may be that elected repre.. sentatives, such as Friiday's gathening, do holci a tie threugh- eut the United Counties due te, their association at Count- ies Council. The general public of titis area, on the other hand, are mere closely associated with the areas te the west andi they see thier ties with the western irea as a more logical one. We cannot clo>seour eyes to regienal government for lt wll beconie a reality ithin tihe next few yeiars. It is -possible that there niay be seme delay due te tihe muddle that novi exists wh Area Boards of Ed1u cation but this will only be temporary and tlhe design of Rcgional areas of governnent wiJl prevaul. Judgement toefciter johnv or not orw wxat area te join will certainly have te be baseci on more thaft present-day associations. There are a whole range od iteins whi* , on affect us and in these matters an open-rnind podicy-M'zýt be followed. 'MileS For Millions Mhe yuth of die Nation, asat Stm*'y, abowed not only stamina and Physical fitness, but aise a conscience and a eoncern. The "Miles for Millions" niarch was Iargely a youth movement across Canada to provide funds for le"a fotunate people of the world.
