stouffvilles drinking water problem may not be so much a matter of arsenic as it is- old lace at a press conference tuesday provincial en vironment minister keith norton claimed that greater co operation between the media and a private citizensgroup with the government on well- testing programs could have eliminated much of the anguish needlessly suffered by many town residents norton said the haste with which the concerned citizens committee had declared their results and the equal eagerness that was displayed by the press in dispensing this to the public helped account for many of the discrepancies between government and private in terests and the subsequent community despair that had arisen the minister pointed to the following example he said claims of arsenic being discovered in water on the hutchinson sheppard and zwier properties as revealed by the concerned citizens and later found invalid by the moe could have been avoided had the group shared its results with the ministry the new york laboratory which tested for the citizens didnt correct for background levels of sodium chloride the minister said consequently the tests appeared to show arsenic instead the new york laboratory later retested and obtained the same results we did norton- said- i- i dont know if that will kelp the weeping mother in stouffville who called sick childrens hospital said norton somewhat incensed recent charges by professor joseph cummins of the university of western ontario that sixteen of his reports on water tests done in whitchurchstouffville had been deliberately altered were also dismissed by norton as being without truth norton said too that the citizens committee had privately acknowledged that results reported by scientist josef smarda of calgary on the mclean well showing a high phenol acid content which smarda declared as being particularly harmful to children were unrelated however they chose not to admit this publicly he said norton declared that test results obtained by the citizens havent stood up further he said they the committee had refused to share these results if they had they could have spared many a lot of anguish he concluded playoffs

membership with the exception of mrs sainsbury and mrs fritz knew of thisshe said mrs sutton said that while the dismissal decision might hurt the committees credibility we considered it less of a
