Alva S. Bray, has spent most of
the time since. November setting
Up the organization to handle the
SPeeiiie questions to be answer-
ed.
In addition, Mr. Auld was con-
sidering a special committee to
look into waste disposal by muni-
cipalities. It is now felt that he
may name this committee to aid
in the Minto decision.
Minto Test Case
While this committee would not
be dealing with lianiston spe-
cifically, it would certainly be
able to consider the situation as
an example of current problems.
This would not only give the
government more time to look at
the political and economic rami-
fications of the decision it has to
make but will enhance the gov-
ernnient's image regarding its
concern for the environment.
Even though the Ministry has
the machinery to postpone any
decision for a short period, it
cannot hold off making a de-
eision, indefinitely if Canadian
Pacific asks for permission to go'
ahead with its proposal: To date
no application has been placed- in
front of the minister. •
If such an s application is re-
ivedby the ministry, a hearing

mental llearinglIodrd.where any

Iting can
an
determine the water table, flow,
and use of groundwater in the
area. The ministry has already
given approval in principal to the
Minto Site, based on soil compo-
sition.
This still leaves the basic prob-
lem of what to do with the grow-
ing accumulation of solid wastes
unsolved. At best the land fill
method of waste disposal is a
temporary answer. The govern-
ment's retognition of this is
manifest in the formation of the
task force.
Land Waste
Although the ministry states
that land fill is an environmen-
tally acceptable method of re-
moval, it cannot be forgotten that
it is a waste of productive land!
Incineration spares the land
but it spoils the air with smoke
and odor pollution.
Recycling is the. answer that
many European cities have
found. The City of Hamilton is re-
cycling some wastes to produce
road surfacing materials.
There are still some serious
technical and economic problems
to be overcome before all wastes
can be returned to usefulness.
One of the largest problems is
the separation of the • various
products in the garbage. Volun-
teers in some centres such as
Kitchener -Waterloo and Ux-
bridge have undertaken this job
but it is very time consuming.
It is difficult to get the general
public to put garbage into separ-
ate containers according to any
reasonable 'classification. If
glass, tin cans, paper and perish-
ables were put in marked con-
tainers; half of the job of recycl-
ing would be done.
There is also the problem of a
change in the industrial basis of
the, country as, fewer new prod -
lids are needed and ,new
are
absorbed into a new recycling in-
chistirys. The change is going to be
upsetting to many and a blessing
to ether!.
Yet, the change must come ac-
cording to the membersof the,
Derail Dumps 'Today committee
who are (*posing the land fill op-
eratien,in Mink), and the rest of
the province. The committee
feels the country is just going to
have to make the adjustment ,13e -

,,Said a tax reduction would
.have been more helpful to small
businessmen.
.Commenting on the new in-
come tax hip, Mr. Rosen said it
would in fact cost the middle-
class taxpayer a lot more, while
parading as just the opposite. He
said the Department of National
Revenue was growing rigid and
aggressive and pointed this out as
a serious concern for Canadians.
He claimed the DNRis tending
toward issuing more assessments
and leaving it up to taxpayers to
file notices of objection. This was
a residt of the obscurity of the
new tax bill, he added. Not every-
one assessed higher taxes will
likely file objections, but those
who do will be paying more for
lawyers and accountants and in
the long run, this would be a
greater expense than ever, he
said.
But big money and vested in-
terests continue to get their views
heard in Ottawa. Money has the
power.

only species that will kill others
of his own type in either hot or
cold blood. And he is the only ani-
mal, including the 'much -malign-
ed hog; that will eat anything and
drink practically anything.
Carnivores eat meat. Herbi-
vores eat herbs. A few species
like to vary the diet with some
nice, ripe carrion. But MR will
eat anything that grows, walks,
swims or flies, including hiniself,
if he's hungry enough.
Thus we have a proliferation of
such delicacies as seal flippers,
cod's tongue, canned snake, fried
grasshoppers, frogs' legs, bees
and ants in chocolate. What other
species could stomach birds' nest
soup or year-old eggs? Not to
mention haggis.

Environment Minister James
Auld was noncommittal recently
when members of the Derail
Dumps Today \ committee re-
quested he veto any Plan to AluinP
garbage near the Town of Harris -
ton.
He refused to make any deci-
sion on the case before an appli-
cation is received ,from CP ' Rail,
which is said to be considering at
least four rural Ontario locations
for sanitary landfill sites. •
Minta Reeve Matthew Seifrid
said he ,was,disappointed the
delegation failed to, win assur-
ances, from the ministerthatthe
rural "Garden. of Eden" would
not be spoiled. , .
He said the DDT delegation
still fears CP Rail will be per-
mitted to use township land as a
dump despite objections from
total residents..
; "It's the mind*
the fact that they, can Just ceme-in
and dump their garbage gets my
goat," said the reeve.
"We have a clean township,
clean air, goodagricultural land.
It's just a Garden of Eden up here
and it's just pitiful to think that
we have to raise money to fight
this."
Minto Not Alone
Reeve Seifrid feels Minto is not
alone in the issue and he is cer-
tain if CP get "their foot in our
township they'll be after more
dump sites in Kitchener, Wind-
sor, Guelph and London".
Cl' has offered to rail haul To-,
ronto's garbage to a rural landfill
site for $6.45 a ton and a mini-
mum of 400,000 tans a year. That
would result in a 32 -car garbage
train arriving every day at the
site five days a week.
The company has esthnated 400
acres Would accommodate such
volume for 15 years.
Mr. Auld dodged questions
about the fate of the project, but
rejected outright appeals by the
DDT delegation for legislation to
prevent urban Municipalities
from dumping their garbage in
another municipality without the
prior consent of the people and
council of that municipality.
Some urban municipalities
simply have no location for dis-
posal of waste within their
boundaries, the environment
minister said.

said, but the protest from Minto
has shown larger municipalities
.that' the handwriting is on the
wall;that they are going to have
tolook at other methods of Ms,:

*. Auld mentioned the re-
cycling of glass, metals and
paper, and the burning of gar-
bage for use as energy and pro-
duction of steam.

lice recently released a position

any Permissive legislation or at-
titude toward drugs on the part of
any goVernment should' be con-
demned. .•
The drug problem in Canada is
compounded by the fact that
most Canadians feel apathetic
about it. 'Before the police in
Canada can really take the bull
by the horns' they must receive
-the suPport of the people they try
to serve. They must have agree-
ment that the problem exists.
Earlier this year a Metropoli-
tan Teronto policeman was shot
by a drug addict after ptirsuing
the young man and -two com-
panions in their car for a minor
traffic offence. The policeman
died a while later in a•nearby hos-
pital.
Headlines screamed, "Police-
man Shot!" But the fact that the
murderer and his companions
were drug addicts was only men-
tioned in passing.
Interviews with several re-
formed drug addiets belonging to
Toronto drug rehabilitation
group indicate that crime among
"heavy" drug users and addicts
is commonplace. Petty thievery
constitutes part of the daily
routine of many addicts, while
some rely on outright robbery,
rutio
breaking and entering, aria dem-
o* of drugs to others to support
their habits.
Said one ex -addict; "I knew
one guy who held up private
stores and restaurants -late at
night two, three times a week. He
carded a gun and Would have
used it if he were pushed, but
most of the store owners , just
handed over the money without
getting smart about it."
Prostitution is another way by
ifehicW some addicts procure
'honey to pay for their drugs.
According to another of the ex-
addictS interviewed, "I lived in a
house occupied by both male and
fen* junkies. The guys 'often
had straight old ladies (girl
friends) who would go , out at
nights and sell their bodies and
come home in the early morning
hours with enough junk to get
their Men through ,another day."
The Canadian Association «of
Chiefs of .Police calls for stiffer
laws andjail terms for those Who
resist treabnent.. Their position
paper, prepared by executive di-
rector Bernard. Poirier, states,
"Those who live with it (drug
usa have much more faith in

Canadians have to get off the
fence, and into the field, and start
fighting.
