A representative from Treasury, Economie and Jntergovernmental Affairs (Regional Planning) also stressed' the importance of this area for recreational use as an argument against rout- ing the Hydro lines through. the fores t. In the discussion which folowed, questions were raised concerning the seriousness of the effeets the lines might, have on recreat- ional use of the forest. It was pointed out that areas cleared for a transmission uine could in fact be beneficial for both motorcyciing and snowmobil-, ing. Ontario Hydro noted that, dependent on the exact route chosen and the height of the trees in the area, ail of the trees in the path of the uine would not necessarily bceuct. The concensus of the local residents present was that negative effects on recreat- ional use of this land would be minimal, particularly com- pared to the negative effects Durham Counfy Sa les Arena ORONO, ONTI.

A transportation and com- munication representative dis cussed the total pilans' for Hiway 407, indicating that the Hiway will not be constructed in this area for approx. 20 years. The exact route of the Hiway in this area wili therefore not be estabilished for several years. He noted, however, that sioce the Hydro uine will then be established, its route will be a factor to consider in selection of the H-iway location. Further discussion revealed that if a more northerly-route was required, it would have the ieast effect on the forest if it was on the north side of the ridge. It was aiso established that such a route wouid have a negligible effect on either residential or agricuitural land. Ontario Hydro indicated that they would proceed with a study of such a proposai in conjuniction with personnel from the Ministries invoived. The local résidents present indicâted that a route estabi- ished by Hydroý would be acceptable if it satisfied the criteria of minimal disturb- ance of residentiai and agri- cultural land. Public meetings concerning this proposai have tentatively been scheduied for mid-Sept- ember. FRENCH IN SCHOOLS -(Con tinued from page 1) suggestions. Hc said communication with the public on the committee's progress was of paramount importance. Dr. Wilson said the admin- istration department had been asked to research the costs to the board of implementing thec program and they wouid aiso study ,the. -avaiiabili ty of grants availabie for this type of instruétion and French teachers. Dr. Wilson said the commit- te feit that French was better taught by a 'person whose mother tongue was .French and as many as possible of the French teachers recruited should have a French back- ground. It is the opinion of the comimittee that if there is a difference ýbetween Quebec French and Parisian French then we wouid stress Quebec French, hie added. The committee feit that student exchanges at ail levels with their counter parts in Quebec were a desirable aim. If the program is introduced next year the students will probably receive haîf an hour's instruction every day. Dr.Wilson said the next committee meeting would be held on September 4 and government ministers and members of the Ottawa and 'lorono boards had been invited to attend to discuss their experiences in introduc- ing French into the iower grades. He said the chairman of the department of French at the Port Hope Highs Schooi and a separate schooi French instructor had attended the last meeting of the committee. It is the aim , of the committee to invite as much community participation' in the cost". Frenich is i mportantllf or their future, he said. This is a great step forward. By' expos- ing the children to French at an early age, even if they don't use it noxw sometime in the future they may need it and it wili be far easier for them to pick up the language than for someone who has neyer had any background in French. Dr. Wilson said the commit- tee was studying the question of which classes the French period would have to replace. It was the'committee's duty to decide whether French was more important than some other subjects, he said. Other boards have made this decis- ion and fitted French 10.
