•SEAFORTH, OINTARl.Q, JUNE 17, 11981
How temporary?
It was a valiant try but Reeve Bill Dale's attempt to oppose the use of
the industrial building the town has bought on High St. as a temporary
public works shed failed Monday night..
Motivated by common sense and conscience, the reeve and councillors
who agreed with him protested that Seaforth councils had promised High
St, residents for years that heavy industry didn't belong in the residential
neighbourhood.
After sensitive negotiations finally succeeded in relocating the
industry, it would seem logical to return the site to residential or a more
suitable use. Instead High St. residents will get, no matter how
temporarily, a maintenance building for town equipment.
Sceptics that we -are we 'must point o.ut that temporary, especially in
government, has a way of becoming permanent. If a new home is needed
'for public works (and most at council agree it is) let's plan and budget for
a propel- one.
We urge council to reconsider the High St. decision. We imagine area
residents, including those who live in the Market St. senior citizen's
apartments, will be asking their elected reprdsentatives" to do so.

deeds of their descendents live today in
P.E.I., while others are scattered across
Canada and the U.S.A.
My grandfather (Sampson's grandson)
moved to Vancouver to the early i900's and
never went back. Other Roses and Rose
relatives took part in the Prairie harvest
excursions, and some stayed and presum-
ably rriarried and raised families.
As a result of a recent surge of interest in
"who we are anti-WJtere we came from". the
Roses are holding a reunion in P.E.I. August
7th and 8th. Any Rose descendents (what-
ever their names) are welcome. More details

when, 1 piled it out last week from a box full
of books purchased 'at a second-hand book
sale.
Shute wrote the book about the aftermath
of a nuclear war in the fifties when a throat
of nuclear war hung over our heads.
Remember the fall -out shelters people were
building back then? Remember the paranoia
in the press. the constant reminders that the
world could end any minute, the stress we
lived under during those cold war years?
We couldn't of course. keep that kind of

BACK AGAIN
But last week the prospect of nuclear war
came to the headlines again. Israel attacked
a nuclear power station in Iraq which the

not by the U.S. and Russia but by smaller
nations -who used easy -access of nuclear
technology to try to bully the superpowers.
His mythical war took place in 1963, and
was based on the alliances or misalliances of
the period, but it's remarkable how many
remain true today. The first bomb was
dropped by Albania on Italy and the super
powers were brought into the war when the
Egyptians, using Russian planes, dropped
rhe, bomb and retaliated and the whole world
was at war.
Today, of course. Egypt and the U.S..are
allies and such a sneak attack would be
spotted well in advance and who has even

,remain. In the book the Arabs and Israelis
used atomic bombs against each other.
Russia and China went to war against each
other, hoping to settle once and for all their

used which produced large amount of

On the Beach tells about_ the final days of

seemed old-fashioned. We were living with
the contidence that no one would be crazy
enough to start a nuclear war. Today,
however, just as Shute predicted (although
20 years late), more and morg countries are
capable of nuclear warfare. India has the
bomb and probably, Pakistan. Israel and
South Africa are rumoured to have it and

frightening, as' the technology of atomic
warfare becomes more and more widespread,
as the access to enriched uranium to fuel a

internatiobal terrorists etting hold of a
nuclear bomb increases: if we can have

would we think terrorists are incapable of
