In effect, they were forced into the area by outside politicians who were not overly con- cerned with the pros and cons and the needs of the area. Dear Sir: As a taxpayer in the city of Oshawa and also in Durham Region I am appalled at the wasteful spending that goes on in the region. Thousands of dollars to spend three or four people to Europe in the search of elus- ive industry, not to mention the fat salaries already being paid these non-elected appointees. The dumb big "D" logo for the Region costing $6.000. that a 10-year-old could design, is a small part of a $220,000. ill-fated indus- trial promotion. New indus- try often shy away from high wage areas who don't want to compete in the labor mar- ket with mighty G.M. Corp. The increased French immersion to grade three, plus the bussing of high school students to Toronto daily to French only schools - can in. the long term be divisive to unity and worse -- parents who cannot under- stand their own children who are immersed in FRENCH ONLY and told they can learn English later. Fool- hardy and asinine. The reason Levesque has said repeatedly that he could care less about the French langu- age outside of Quebec! It is Trudeau in his madness that is pushing French at all costs - we picking up the tab. "I SHALL NOT REST UNTIL CANADA IS IRRE- VERSIBLY BILINGUAL' said Trudean in Feb. 1975. As the book says, Bilingual To-day, French To-morrow! With some 5 million Can- adians termed illiterate in English -- some 350,000 teen- agers in the same illiterate category we must learn Eng- lish first before embarking: in frivilous French. Spanish is by far the largest spoken language in the Western hemisphere, some 11 million in the U.S. and Cuba alone -- not to mention South Amer- ica. Why not a third option? The word bilingual means ANY TWO LANGUAGES. The blame for the increas- ing school costs in Durham Region some $78.7 million -- up 5.5 million over last year must be placed with the most outspoken advocate of more French immersion, Dr. Charles Mcllveen, and his comrades. Despite pleas The ultimate debt, how- ever - over ten million dol- lars - must be paid by all citizens of Durham Region, yourselves included. This means your taxes are increased by over one mil- lion dollars per year for . [) - S e d I n vail more strongly on your local representative at Dur- from board member, Alex Keith that French classes . could add another 15 per cent to the local taxpayers share of education costs, and that from Ruth LaFarge that the board might have to retain bilingual teachers at the expense of losing English- speaking teachers, Mcllveen plunged blindly into the "Trudeau Trap" more French at any cost. School taxes already take approx. 53 per cent of municipal tax dollars. In an interview with form- er Chairman of the Board and the longest sitting mem- ber -- some 41 years, Stephen Saywell a most respected and clear thinking gentle- man confirmed that with the additional costs of French the Durham Board could be faced with breathtaking bud- get of close to $100 MILLION NEXT YEAR. ~ Chairman of the Board, Yvonne Christie interviewed by this reporter concurred that French immersion to grade three was frivolous and wasteful of the taxpay- ers dollars. With more than TWO BILLION people in China, Russia and India as an example, ENGLISH is the second language of choice.... not French! Although the official language of India is Hindu -- ENGLISH is used for all official purposes. Dean J. Kelly,President, Assoc. of Dedicated Canadians.
