Kids' library news
by tvlarlan Doucette
It's here! The Year"of
the Child ... 1979.
This year is a special
,one set aside by the
United Nations with the
main idea to get
everybody to "think
children". Chairperson
Jean Young is quite
hopeful that "as we look
at the needs of our own
children, we will gain an
awareness of children all
over the world".
Communities, groups
of citizens and libraries
'round the world will 'be
hosting' festivals and
special programs
•throighout the year.
The year 1979 is just a
beginning in making us.
all more aware of the
"Rights of •the Child".
Hopefully the work it
starts will continue.
On another note,
programming at the
Clinton Library, has once
more begun for another
year.'Re'giTlar. Story Hour
for the younger children
will commence this
Saturday at '2:30 p.m.
This weekly program
filled with stories, games
and craft is a chance for
your child to join others
in becoming more aware
of the knowledge at'id

Seaforthl ,�, N� , chief
wants rescue vehicle
Seaforth fire chief
Harry Hak told members
of the Fire Area Board
(FAB) that he would like
to see an emergency van
for the local department.
The Huron Expositor
reported that Mr. Hak
said that neither the
ambulance •or the OPP
are _ eqj peed to answer
rescue calls which might
involve rescuing someone
from a wrecked car or
preventing someone from
drowning.
Exeter, Goderich and
Wingham fire depart-
-ments are the only ones in
Huron County presently
equipped with rescue
equipment.
Mr.Hak feels that there
is a need for. t such
equipment in the Seaforth
area as well. He reported
that recently ... ..,.the ....
Sebringville OPP called
;;,
•
•
the Seaforth ' fire
department for'
assistance in freeing a
man trapped in a car
outside Dublin. -
Mr. Hak said that five
men answered the call
and 10 men went out in
the truck. Before they
reached the scene they
were notified that the
trapped man had been:
freed.,
The call'Which cost the
Seaforth fire department
$200 could have been done
more efficiently and for
less money if an
emergency van could
have been sent out, in-
stead of the big truck, and
with only four men . in-
stead of 10.
Mr. Hak said that the
government will fund up
to 60 percent of the cost of
....purchasing the rescue
equipment.

The Government also
introduced' legislation to
make industry respon-
sible for the clean-up of
all -spills involving toxic
substances. It includes a
provision that if industry
does not clean up a spill
rapidly enough,, the
Environment Ministry
will move in, do the job,
and bill the companies
responsible,
The- Bill, described by
the Minister "as
unequalled in Canada", is
designed "to impose
clear responsibility for
cleanup and to enable my
Ministry to take im-
mediate control of the
situation if required."
In an interview, he
stated ' that the Gover-
nment has "no clear
authority to go in and
cleans.,-.u•p., a spill. Now,
we'll 'be able to go in and
clean it up right away.
That will solve a lot of
problems."
Liberal Environment
Critic' Murray Gaunt
called the bill "a sub-
stantial step forward. It's
something we've been
advocating and pressing
for a long time".
He said the Liberals `
�'
have had "great -tfal `e;
ficulty in trying to con-
vince the Government
that this is the move they

This legislation was
prompted by a number
of spill's "`irivoTvin•g toxic
industrial contaminants
in recent years in which
immediate cleanup
procedures were im-
peded because of
-inadequate provisions in
the Environmental
Protection Act. For
example, iht•to was a
major spill near Dowling,
located- some 30 miles
northwest of Sudbury in
November (973.
About 1,000 gallons of
transformer oil con-

point out that most
pedestrians were killed
while trying ° to cross
through traffic, running
onto the roadway, or
walking on the wrong side
of the road. Pedestrians
using a roadway should
always walk facing
traffic and wear light
coloured pieces of
clothing to make
themselves more visible
to motorists.

spilled when a CP rail
freighttrain derailed and
split open two electrical
transformers. The
Environment Ministry
was severely criticized
for allowing this spill to
deteriorate.
A tribunal of the
Environmental Appeal
Board ruled that "it is
clear that by delaying
initial cleanup in-
structions until June 1976,
the Ministry had allowed
the situation SA
deteriorate from serious
to catastrophic."
Accidents reported to
the Ministry of the
Environment involve a
total of some 1.25 million
gallons of petroleum
products, non -petroleum
oils, toxic chemicals and
other hazardous
materials' which require
immediate action. A
further 8 million gallons
of non -hazardous liquids
are involved.
In April 1976, Ontario
bought into • the giant
Syncrude development,
through the Ontario
Energy Corporation, and
its investment now is
about $106 -million. The
Government will make
some $35 million in profit
when it sells its 5 percent
K,.
share in the Alberta oil
sands -development to a
private company, ac-
cording to the Minister of
Energy,
PanCanadian_
Petroleum Ltd., a•
Canadian -owned com-
pany based in -Calgary,
has agreed to buy
Ontario's share by the
29th December for $160 -
million. The Minister
indicated he was pleased
with the profit being
made on Syncrude, and
believed that .the money
can be used for other
projects at a time when
Government revenues
have been disappointing,
For the past number 9f
years the Government
has been anxious to be
seen as favouring private
interests over more
public involvement in
industry, and the sale of
its share of the Syn'tu'rude
project to 'a private
Canadian -owned com-
pany Birthers that policy.
The Province bought
into the p"oject when it
was in danger of failing
due to the withdrawal of
Atlantic Richfield
Canada Ltd.; a major
private investor. At that
time, total -cost estimates
had --'risen to $2 billion
from an original $1.2
billion. Last summer a
former Minister of
Energy had said, in an
interview, that when he
felt optimistic he thought
the -province's in-
vestment could be worth
up to.$ -140 million.
The last days of the
session were quite hectic.
A number of ministerial
statements were made,
and the House passed Bill
70, providing for com-
prehensive health and
safety coverage of most
workers in the Province.
Summing budget
• debate for hisup pthe arty, Ian
Deans (NDP Wentworth)
gave his last speech as a
member. He plans to
resign his seat soon, and
will rejoin on February
1st the Hamilton 'Fire
Department, where he
had worked prior to his
first election to the
Legislature in 1967.
The appointment of Mr.
Justice Donald Morand of
the Ontario Supreme
Court as Provincial
Ombudsman was en-
dorsed by all parties in
the Legislature.... The
motion making thea-ap-
..pointment was in-
troduced by the Attorney -
General and seconded by
Liberal Leader Stuart
Smith. It passed easily,
with little debate.
Dr. Smith and the
Leader of the NDP paid
tribute to Judge Morand
as a respected jurist, and
said they were looking
forward to working with
him in his new position.
