The *Ministry of Transpor- tation and Communication held an Information Centre in the Orono Town Hall Iast Wednesday afternoon and evening unveiling a draft of plans for the highway reconstruction from the Taunton Raod interchange to Enterprise Hill. The plans for south of Taunton Road were also on display. Interest was high from local residents affected by the plans which are ini the five- year forecast to be under- taken by the Ministry. Tenders are being let this year, 1982, for reconstruction of Highway 401 from Waverley Road in Bowman- ville to the intçrchange with Highway 115.

The decision: tbe two sbould not bave lost tbeir jobs simply because they turned 65. Th-e courtroom winners, a neurosurgeon 'and a court clerk, are inow back at work. The mandatory retirement issue, of course, bas been receiving an inox dinate amount of attention during the last few years. Tbe aver- age retîrement age has been declining, and some workers Colin Allun, although a resident off fHighway 115 in the proposed future construc- tion zone, showed little in- terest in the Ministry of Transportation plans on display at the recent Informa- tion Centre in Orono. Lloyd Ransberry, a next- door neighbour to Colin, proved a capable baby-sitter f'or the occassion.

But times are changing. Quebec is seriously consider- ing legislation that would ban discrimination on the basis of age, and s section of the new constitution may bave a simi- lar impact. Retirement bas always been one of those controversial issues that can generate heated discussion, even among rea- sonable people. Many unions, for example, argue that witbout mandatory reirement, fewer jobs would be available to younger en- trants in the work force. They Durham bas increased from $70,748.22 in 1981 to $79,906.12 in 1982, over Il Percent in increase. Administration cost have increased from $91 ,900 in 1981 to $104,860 in 1982.

But opponients point out that the right to work should not be takenl away by govern- ment decree. They believe it is one of our basic freedoms. To support their case, these people eniphasize that U.S. President Ronald Reagan is in bis 70's, and that in virtually every country in the world there is no mandatory retire- ment age for the lawmakers themselves. The same can be said for people %vorking in many other professions. And, entrepre- neurs operating smnaler firms make their own choices about when to retire. So, contradictions abound when one considers the retire- at-65 rule. lndeed, it's interesting to note that the chief justice of the five-man court that hband- ed down the Manitoba deci- sion is able to bandie, his duties, even though- he is 73 years old.
