of magnificent beauty relating it to the replacement of valuable older buildings for modern structures There must be rigorous policies to control land use claimed Mr Diamond Most small towns need local shopping areas and few need massive regional malls the spokesman claimed We have to make the distinction clear he told the group Mr Diamond noted small hardware stores drug stores boot repair shops and boutiques are the core of small town centres and such establishments arc necessary to revitalize a small town and make it a living organism Whats interesting is its possible and can be done Mr Diamond claimed An example of revitalizing a shopping work area is a project of Mr Diamonds to repair dilapidated structures and replace some buildings with compatible ones You dont have to tear down buildings like that he noted The Heritage Canada spokesman presented a series of slides showing restoration work which renovated entire areas at a cost of less than or equal razing and reconstruction of modern buildings An example of a significant loss to Ontario is the tearing down of Queen St a building which was structurally sound but punished for what happened within its walls lie blames Margaret Scrivener for St David and minister of government services for the blunder Historical societies are still living down reputations for being do- gooders and there is a very small group retaining an interest in past he noted They have a politically difficult job selling restoration to barbarians he told the audience Society has two op tions open he noted move to large centres
