Murray
Become Retarded Training Centre, Urges
Action On Better Control Of Pesticides.
Liberal MPP Murray Gaunt (Hdr-
On-Bruce)'proposed irf the Ontario
legislature laSt'week that the
. Centralia Ali Force base he'hand-
.
• -ed over to provincialauthorities
for use as an adult training' centre
• - for the mental* retarded,•. •
Speaking during the debate on'
• .'the speech from the throne, Mr.
• Gaunt said that the base has been
closed down in the •process of uni-'
fication, bringing about "serious.
repercussions sO far as the ecOn-
'
o of that par •#:131ar region.
He told the legislature/that•
since'the buildings on the base
are:suitable for workshops, .recrea•
tional,activities and living
accommodations for staff and
• retardees, he has asked the De-
, partrnent of Education to explore
the idea of establishing such a
• :centre:
:In the same speech, Mr. Gaunt
• called for the creation of'a well -
supervised and controlled system
. • of liesticidecontrol topisrirei. a
'minimum danger to the public.
Outlining the public hazard of
increasingly concentrated types
of:pesticides the Liberal agricul-
ture critic proposed that the
Ontario Pesticides Act be amend-
ed to provide that pesticides be
sold only through registered
outlets. "At the: sarne Wile" , Mr.
• Gaunt 'said, Z'The Department Of
Health should take upon itself
irnmediately tO increase the staff
of,the field inspection branch be-'
Cause i is rather,obvious that six
people for the entire province
just cannot, do the job," • '
•He continued, "the economic
pressures are tremendous for the •
continued use ofchemical cont
trolS in agriculture."
. "Pesticides have ..macie• a great
contribution to the. agricultural .
•induStry-and I 'JO not want :to un-
derestimate thern; they have'be- • .
come an essential factor in food
production. But more has to be •
done by the goverrinient before an
outraged public demands: the cam,- .
piete withdrawal Of Many of these
chemicals.":•
Gaunt said there is, no reason.
.for alarm at the Moment: • "Bt if, '
the, use of pesticides. is relatively
unrestricted,' public health.iss:endan
.gered and rnOre drastic meastires
such, as. Outright banning' have to be
underiaken. • • •

It is obvious," said Mr.: Gaunt:,
"that legislation inthis provinceis
just -not adeeniate to do the job."
