oakvillc beavtr i i oshawa this wtk and xuuttsavga nwi r w 7 the iemjpty land is valuable i the pickering airport appears to be dead before the applause or booing dies down it may be sobering to think ahead as to what should be done with the 17000 acres of land already expropriated for the airport aside from the pros and cons of the air port itself one must be realistic about the use of the land the federal government has said that it wants agricultural uses there in case- the land is needed in the future for the airport the provincial government would insure by zoning regulations that only agricultural uses are to be allowed not just ari ini- between time i it is regrettable that numbers of people have been displaced through expropriation for the airport for those people a part of them has been taken no amount of compensation in monetary terms can replace that however it would also be a mistake to give the land back most people are aware that the land was already going out of production before the airport was announced this process was only speeded up by the expropriation as well as being prime agricultural land the pickering area is also prime development land from that perspective the government decision to hold the land could bo of long- range benefit to the province of ontario it insures that it- will not be paved over and covered with single family dwellings if administered properly young men who wish to enter farming could lease the land to save large investment to buy a farm if the airport is never built which seems to be the niu u jei ii ll rji likely outcome the land could be sold to with the coming of fall one tends to feel with government regulation for that winter is just around the corner so to speak this may be true to some extent but fall has certain distinct elements that make one of the most invigorating times of the year those unexpected warm days whenthe sun makes one think fondly of the summer prime farm land from being gobbled up

might make mention of the furor that was caused when one of our local nimrods was- scouring his neighbors back yards for fish bait in the wee small hours only to tie challenged by a fellow neighbour

that is our only hope give us back the joys we used to have lamentations 5 16- 22 ssugar and spice i insuring that it could never be used anythingbut farming 1 from our point of view this could be a pioneer scheme for the government to protect teaching jobs can be found m by bill smiley last spring while persuing about 80 applications for one job teaching english i expressed sympathy for the young graduates of teachers colleges all set to go wanting to be teachers and scarcely a job in sight at the time i suggested it was rotten planning graduating about 10 teachers- for each job available i still think it is v but the cbluriin brought a couple of in teresting responses which i havent managed to get around to answering thought id do so now as we are launched into a new of teaching and learning t missm a buck of windsor ontario read the column in the tillsonburg news and took issue with it in a ladylike fashion and the most exquisite handwritingivekeenin years she writes you have described the situation very well as it applies to the job market in the area of secondary english however it concerns me thatyoung peoplewho are considering a career in teaching might think that there are nofopportunities in reaching at all this- far fronutrue there is a demand for secondary teachers of mathematics physics girls physical education home economics art music business arid secretarial subjects and technical areas there are also excellent opportunities for those who wish to teach in the public or separate elementary schools well thanks miss buck this is hear- tening news i dont know about the maths and physics i doubt theres a demand for them but theres always room for a good one art and music teachers are sitting pretty but only because they are scarce any dope can teach english as i am frequently reminded but few young peoplehayethetalent and training for the arts girls phys ed yes perhaps this is because of attrition a lot of the younger ones get married andhayebabies and its tougher and tougher to put the girls over the hurdles with each year you put on yourself elizabeth taylor i am happy to say will be able to make ends meet and she has no need for a reunion with richard burton to do so liz is a young friend of ours a con- temporary of my daughter and i nursed her through grade 10 12 and 13 english she graduatedlast june as a phys ed teacher riaridwas hired by thefirst school she applied vrhome ec again i we jlost a ybiing lady last june because she had to move tothe city she had another job in two weeks i dont know why theyre scarce technical teachers yes theres a shortage and a reason about 15 years ago quite a few technicians deserted their trades to enter teaching not for more money but for better working conditions security many reasons there are very few young technicians coming into teaching now who needs it when he can make 80 a day at his job and leave it behind when he finishes work from f w reinhold superintendent of schools in the fort vermilion school division in the peace river district of alberta came another missive 1 written at the end of last june the letter says i read your article in the brooks bulletin re tough time for teachers and am wondering if you are serious there is no surplus of teachers in western canada we still have 22 vacancies at the elementary level and six at the juniorsenior high level twentysight vacancies at the end of june in one school district i take back all my sympathy for youngs teachers one of two things is obvious either the fort vermilion school board is one of theworst in the world which i doubt don or all you young idealists of both sexes w i t really want to teach that much- you jl want a nice job in a nice school riot too far i r really a nice j from mom and dad in the city 6rclose to it where you wont get your feet wet or young hands dirty won tbe too cold or too lonely j otherwise youd be up there in peaces river getting the experience of your youngs lives and finding out what makes you tick ontq the farrri house von to the farmhouse exclamations like that one flashed through ihy mind last thursday as i took part asan observerin the glorious farm- housetrekon airport property the above title for the bumpy and exhilarating ride by pop demonstrators and members of the press is my own i felt some properjiomenclature should be created for the convenience of future historians somehow it seemed like an historic oc casion even after the provincial an nouncement that they were 100 per cent against building the pickering airport it was learned that another house was about to be demolished oh airport property at 1035 am thursday we received a call from people or planes saying- were going in at 1130 the troops massed briefly at brock road then raced across to a farm two miles west on the 7th concession there we clambered aboard two vans and a fourwheel drive pickup that proved to be the initial assault vehicle i was there on that truck among mostly female demon- stratorsall ages and other reporters the front line lay about a mile and a half to the north across fields streams and through a fence with wires cut since at that time the roads were still blocked our pop guide expertly negotiated a variety of blimps and ruts as we hung on cracked jokes and commandeered apples from a passing tree r ta few of us idly daydreamed we were withpattons cavalry racing on to berlin or soriie equally momentous occasion then coming to a sideline road the truck speeded up to 40 or 45 and clutching the handrails we gazed ahead trying to glimpse thefirst shock of battle v we turned a corner at the 8th concession spotted two parked bulldozers and proceeded down a farm lane this was it i now like israeli commandoes we prepared to jump into the fray ready with our light meters and loaded cameras the protestors wondered if they would be required tomakegebd their pledge to stop the bulldozers i whenwe arrived nearly the only person descended from our perches on the truck boy am i glad to see you guys mike exclaimed then he launched into the tale of how he and a friend had occupied the house as it was assaulted by bulldozers mike repeated and repeated his story for each newcomer who asked as cftoand global recorded the story for the six oclock edition we lesser media listened focused and clicked shutters historical footage was what one cameraman called it on the somewhat slower ride back aboard the truck perhaps it wasas we had stood around there newcomers told us of federal cabinet comments on the airport the pop peoples cautious ecstasy was gradually dissolving into unrestrained rejoicing finally a man came telling us that marchand himself had said the airport would be halted and used for agriculture the pop joy was only slightly tempered by marchands addendum that the land might still be used for an airport at some future time dont throw away your phone lists yet a reporter remarked to me some reporters stood looking somberly objective about it all the globe and mail man alone in his view matteroffactly said that they will wait until a major air crash at the malton arid then there will be a ground- swell of- sentiment for the airport in pickering baloney thought some of the rest of us as ontario transportation minister john rhodes said on friday the mot figures arent necessarily accurate especially if soriie effort- is i made jo encourage stol aircraft and railroads instead of jets our journey back to the 7th was uneventful although we did run into a man with a tape recorder who played back those ever-so-important- words by marctiand for press and protestors alike the demonstrators in that and other pop escapades shouldnt be overly glorified but in fairness their efforts have made an impact understanding that deriiocratic governments and media today respond primarily to the bizzare the outlandish and the insane these protestors had conformed to me requirements t 1 theydid work through the system too in one pollhof durham west riding for example each voter was visited four times by t- workers fory charles godfrey those by ted wilcox multiplied efforts contributed to the election of antiairport candidates and that ultimate i pressure brought the davis announcement however ernie carruthers reportedly hopes to move back from goodwood to his ancestral home now and if three nutty ladies hadnt been there the house would be j rubble i in the view of some the pop philosophy perilously bordered on the end justifies any j means the mentality that motivated r richard nixons henchmen f others say that the surveyors architects j and bulldozers operators at the airport ap- j proached a far worse level of treachery by in many cases obeying orders against their own consciences if we dont do it someone else will was their unceasing excuse the latter case was made to me last friday at the home of mike the kite the bulldozer operator at the incident thursday he said had come tat the building with mike inside after a word from his boss mike equated that action with the kind that made hitlers atrocities possible it was he said scary such incidents notwithstanding mike said he still has tremendous optimism for i mankinds future a philosopher as well as an athlete and designer he believes people are beginning to be true to themselves and that a quiet revolution will change society stopping the airport mike thinks was a victory for the government as well as for the people the system worked they could admit a mistake but a substantial group of protestors viewed the pc decision as a capitulation to pop ndpand co after their hand was forced mr trudeaus bitter- words indicate that he would agree with that assessment v still other activists that- 1 am aware of take another tack as their motto they cite words written 3000 years ago by a critic of another society caught in corruption this is- what the lord asks of you only this to act justly to love tenderly and to walk humbly- before x god micah 68 these radicals vow to heal the wounds as well as to stop senseless projects like the airport however we look at it we can all be thankful thatthe international airport on our doorstep has been halted this areas future should be healthier happier and more ty i humane because of it v v fr
