fires in Canada begin through human carelessness Well never find out exactly how this fire began Was it cigarette tossed without thought Or campfire not complete ly doused Whatever the cause the result is 25 acres of county forest now burned and useless The 15 to 2ftyearold timber was considered valuable as coid wood If harVestied and bundled there were some 900 cords of wood lost in the fire Thats miniscule as forest fires g0 Each summer countless thousands of acres are lost in the province through forest fires Not only does it wastc one of our valuable resources but the destruction of wildlife is enormous and cruel Fortunately quick action by local firefighting groups prevented the Hillsdale fire from spreading to several hun dreds of acres in the immediate area The firefighters can do their best to control fire once it begins But only people can prevent forest fires from beginning in the first place This summer especially now with extremely dry conditions everyone should use extreme caution while in our woodlands Dont you be responsible for destroying what nature has taken lifetime to grow barrie landmarks LamNJ wk Originally built by James Barr and William Henry in

DEREK NELSON Queens Park Bureau Thomson News Service Toronto loderation in all things And nowhere more so than in the use oi chemical pesticides and herbicides That would seem such an obvious rule of thumb that one remains continually astounded at how often it is broken For by example the provmcial govern ment in the dying days of the legislatures spring session school board use oi the chemical 24 flared briefly when the Ni said the chemical made children sick at school near Oshawa To date there is no proof such an Illtltltnl actually occurred but the NDP argued the chemical may in addition cause cancer and should be banned anyway in school yards The government refused saying the chemical was safe when used properly and whether to use or not was up to each indi vidual school board Now we

Office Box 370 Olt MI use plain silly its document curiously defensive in tone Natural Resources Minister James Auld is quoted as saying he shared the publics concern over use of chemicals and thats why ministry staff are very selective in the use of chemicals and are trained to use them wisely The 24l is usml to suppress vegetation that interferes with commercially valuable conifer growth There are sound economic arguments in defense of chemicals but if there was any re liablc evidence those chemicals would damagi thc environment We would stop using them immediately Auld said Winch isnt really the point There is no need to be on guard about using 241 Ill forest spraying Both the need and value are obvious NUT lllllltll But using 24 to spray school yard weeds strictly for cosmetic purposes is plain silly It is nnmiyteratc And whether 2471 is or is not cancer causing is not important in this context We dont ban pro en cancercausing agents like sugar or charcoal broilid hamburgers because people aluc them too highly for society toaliandoii them Every person is probably in some danger from some chemical from salt to red dyc number two at some timc lll ltit But thc danger curve soars with over Usi So it comes back to moderation liven ii 24 is canccrcausing it should still bc used since its benefits outwcigh its drawbacks it has even been suggested for example that 24 is to the farmer as pciiicillan is to thcdoctor vital tool of the trade But governments tend to be trendy about chemicals whctli mover use as couple of decades ago or supcrrenyironmentalisl as today The same natural resources press release stated proudly that liitaiio was leader in banning DDT and suspending use of 245T the latter against the wishes of its own pesticides control board

confidence And the Liberal party By JOHN HARBRON Foreign Affairs Analyst Thomson News Service It remains to be seen if the antiSomoxa coalition now in charge of Nicaragua can move from one common goal to another The first was the overthrow of the Somoza family who had ruled Nicaragua for 40 years as personal hacienda The removal of the Somozas has been achieved The second task is to bring democratic government and economic stability to small country in ruins The successor groups who have seized power from former President Anastosio Somoza include the Sandinista guerrilla forces the provisional junta appointed by them 33member State Council and the new litmember cabinet The members of the junta and cabinet were selected after an assurance was given by the Sandinistas to the United States that victory would not result in new dictatorship based on the Cuban Marxist model in the last weeks of his dictatorship Somoza had told the United States he would resign if the Sandinistas promised to include representatives of both his National Guard and Liberal Party iii post Somoza regimc However the National Guard disintegrated when most of its senior officers fled to Miami with Somola And his Liberal Party has also faded from sight with tthandinista Victory AN ALLPARTY llNlA Both the junta and cabinet contain leading Nicaraguans from Marxists to llllltfallllii

stabilize his stature as party leader something he seems eager to do As he put it during his recent press conference if there were some better way to achieve the goals that think are right for anadn and some better leader to seek the support of the Liberal party wouldnt hang on by tooth and nail But inti judgment as of now is that am the best lt REMAIN His tongue may have been touching his check when he said this but all of his cont mcnfs indicated firm determination to remain as party leader And he would unlikely express such determination unless he was confident of party support This support was indicated few lays later when the executive smoothly postponed the con vention As one highly placed Liberal explained it there were bound to be some critical reviews ofmour leadership right after an election dcfcat but think the dust is settling now and we are not going to stain it with any blood Anyway he added all public opinion polls indicate that Trudeau is still well ahead of the party in terms of popularity Given the inherited economic problems facing the Con servativc giweiiiiiieiit and the opportunin afforded an opposition leader in such circumr stances the Liberal leader could well in crease this popularin factor in the out 12 months And we shouldnt inidercstiiimtc the role he is likely to play in the referendum debate If we voted on the leadership issue right

Barrie ouncil who sits as your represen fativc Mills was military cop for about 25 years prior to his retirement couple of years ago He retired with honour both official honours and from his pccis with whom he worked every day ln fact if you can get him to talk about it on the odd accusion you would find that he has about drawer full of citations and related documents praising his work iotdon Mills sees most everything as black and hite there are few if any shades of gray in between lhcrcs right and theres wrong and great difference between them And if he believes that something is wrong there is nothing on earth that will persuade him to not react by some attempt to correct that wrong lIlISI lll You can trust him if you break the law in his mind hell dump you in the slammer before you can wink an eye But get into any kind of jam and hell go to the ends of the earth to assist you without any thought of reward He has explained to me how he used to prosecute his cases up to and including in court but if the accused was found innocent then to him it was over and he offered his hand in friendship Somewhat the same as the two opposing lawyers in case that remain friends throughout their careers although they may often fight tooth and nail against each otticr in the courtroom tlordon Mills belongs to no establishment or clique Nor is be intimidated by any He has no ac

Since John Crosbie became finance minister nothing but good news about the economy seems to have poured out of his department But finance officials are troubled by widespread warnings that the new ministers honey moon is drawing to an end By iiiieruly all the major economic in dicators were moving in the right direction The dollar has gained almost cent against its US counterpart since rosbic took office and the finance department was able to report last month for the first time since March that its reserves of foreign ciincncy had increased Last month the economy grew at an annual rate of 68 per cent during the first ipiarter of the year its best three month pc ormancc since 1973 At first glance the countrys improved economic performance would appear just the kind of welcome new finance minister would wish but the situation has two up setting elements First Crosbie can hardly claim cnxlit for the improvement He has introduced no pro grams of his own and acknowledges that he is still coasting along on the initiatives of his Liberal predecessor Jean hrcfien So far Trosbic and his aides hch raclcd with silence to each new piece of favorable economic news MAI TIMES AHEAD Second the minister is faced with the teal possibility that by the time he begins making public the new itoVernments fans the economy will have started to deter unite Within the last few weeks
