If THE bomb hits 'We're all going together' by Carol Dimock Although David Peterson, leader of the Opposition for Ontario, considers Nuclear disarmament the most fundamental issue of our age, Tiny Township's Reeve Morris Darby won- ders "if it concerns us."' "T don't know how important we should consider this", Darby stated at Wednesday's council meeting. 'Does it apply to us locally?" These remarks were made in response to Peterson's letter encouraging Tiny to join the over 35 Ontario municipalities that have decided to include a question on nuclear disarmament on the municipal election ballot this fall. The letter clarified the confusion surrounding the legality of the proposed referendum. The Attorney General has stated that including the question on the municipal ballot would probably not lead to legal complications.
