- 1 | he Osama Times Published by Canadian Mewspapers Limited, 86 King St, E,, Oshawa, Ont, Page 6 Yuesday, March 28, 196) Health League Grants Questioned By Premier The badly conceived and badly exe suted propeganda efforts of Dr, Gordon Betes, genersl director of the Health Lesgue of Canadas, have finally attract: ed the attention of government. A let: ter sent by Dr, Bates to some members of the Ontario Legisleture last week prompted Premier Frost to suggest thet some thought should be given to the stopping of provincial gents to the League, Buch thoughts should hsve been taken long age, when it became appears ent thet the Health League was to he #n instrument of questionable propa: ganda, Through League channels Dr, Bates has become almost hysterical in his attacks on those who questioned the principle of fluoridation of municipal water supplies in even the most restrain. ed and thoughtful way; he has questioned the integrity of some of Canada's most honorable men and finest literary minds because they dared express publicly their opinions about & book that Dr, Bates thought should be banned, Now Dr, Bates hes written a letter, to quote Mr, Frost, "to this Legislature casting aspersions on the good people of Toronto and Ontario" The portion of the letter termed objectionsble seid; "With the vast number of foreign-born people in Toronts, wich a referendum (on fluoridation) might well defest the objectives of the commission headed by Mr, Justice Morden. For example, there are some 150000 lalians in Tor | roto end a lerge proportion of them cannot even read English, It would be logical to expect thet they would vote against anything which they could not understand" In typical fashion, Dr, Bates thinks that people cannot decide for themselves what's good for them ~ they must be told by experts such ss he, The Ontario government is wasting money when it contributes to the funds of the Health League, and so is the feds eral government, If the Toronte Com munity Chest and private individuals want to continue contributions, thet is their business, But the Heglth Lesgue has done nothing to justify the spend: ing of public money on it, end much to justify the withdrawal of government grants Giant Garbage Dumps What we have been trying to say for many years was said forcefully and im- aginatively last week by Prof, William Kilbourn of McMaster University, in a speech to the Niagars Regional Develop- ment Association, This was his theme; "The precious life-giving substances of this world, the air and land ana water we must have to live decently as well as merely to survive, are not ours 50 mis. use, We did not make them, We don't own them, We hold them, fos a time, in trust. As our communities develop and expand in the Bixties we must see to it that they grow in such a way that this trust and our childres are not ber trayed." After pointing out thet southern One tario is one of the wealthiest regions in the world, he pointed out that "in the midst of abundance we are in danger of losing the two most basic necessities of all; Well-planned, efficietnly serviced communities fit for human beings, and the precious natural resources of land and air and water upon which their life depends," He continued: "We use the skies above our towns and the waterways around them as giant garbage dumps, We darken and poison the air over our roads with auto fumes ,, Every river in Southern Ontario is pols luted, Our streams are open ditches for detergents that kill animals, People in the Grand River communities will be drinking processed sewage this summer if it isn't m wet spring. Worst of all is the chaotic and appalling waste in the use we have made of land: the strip developments along the roadways that are expensive to service, the badly placed surveys that render so much land ground them useless, or make living in them unhealthy, "The hopeful thing is that there are practical answers to such problems, We can plan our way out of them, and the sooner we do so, the less expensive it will be, Unlike the experts on two of our other great problems, unemploys ment and the arms race, the experts in planning and conservation are agreed on the basic answers, and where the remes dies have been tried, they work" There is room for every kind of development in the Niagara region, for example hous: ing, parks, industry and agriculture , , , If we plan the use of our land properly there is room for them all" our Goodwill Not Enough An amendment to the Planning Act approved hy the Ontario Legislature's committee on municipal law would pers mit municipalities to enaet restricted area bylaws without first having a pub. lie hearing before the Ontario Municipal Board, It sets up machinery for filing objections and provides that, where ne objections are filed or whete the objects ions do not warrant a hearing, the Mu- nicipal Board may dispense with publie hearings The danger of this propesal is ohvious, It gives the Board the power to decide whether or not objections warrant a hearing =~ and one more step is taken towards autocratic control, Committee chairman H, BE.
