ecoaomist and sun newmarkevwirera era oakville beaver j v n oshawa this week and mississeuoa hews ice vmce there is a strong feeling in this part of complete flipflop in trying to throw road ontario at least that the davis government has been trying to play both sides in the current airport hassel in order to gain a maximum vote advantage in the next provincial election jy the ontario government which was even morethah ottawa instrumental in choosing the pickering site for the airport is doing a wrong materials iii wrong places an additional difficulty has surfaced at the stouffville recycling depot a few users or pranksters or both have chucked the wrong materials into the wrong bins and caused several long mornings orafternoons to be spentresorting garbage paper and glass users of the depot should take material- there only when it is open thursdays and saturdays 10 am to noon and through the summer thursdays 630 pm to 830 pm and childreh and the youngatmind would be advised to stay away from the depot rbins except when helping out there the tin k cans and broken glass especially are nothing to play with s this all demonstrates the need once j more for a building in which tostorethe bins andor waterproof lockable bins blocks in the way of its construction v a vast number of people believe that this is merely a political ploy an effort to gain the votes of the antiairport people and that once reestablished for a new term with a majority government the conservatives would be quite willing to roll ahead with the airport as originally planned this apparent effort by ontario to block theairport found immediate favor with the antiairport group and those who actually believed the government was trying to save money at the same time ontario is quietly proceeding with its north pickering project and is looking to ottawa for a multimillion dollar grant in this connection ontario has also not been without fear that ottawa just might reverse its longterm stand against enlarging malton all in all it has been thin ice politically for the davis government while appearing for voter influence to be firm with its road blocks it also knew it must leave loopholes ontario spokesmen have been careful not to state opposition to the plan only the financial arrangements v reports put of ottawa indicate that the federal cabinet too yiewed ontarios moves as merely for political purposes and has approved the ministers decision to proceed with the airport immediately behind the scenes the ontario government is possibly breathing easier sirice the holdup of federal v funds for north pickering and expansion of mahorf could have become a real threat could you direct aae to the sales barn sugar and spice bill cops out fqr the sutrimr gfet oil witk
