Coun. Frank Walkom, chairman of the
town's special committee, recommended to
council that the licence of the company be
revoked until the work is carried out.
Council decided on the softer action due to
the licence becoming due this weekend. •
Coun., Walkom said he had visited the
premises ' on East. Street t as a result of
complaints received from local residents.
"It's a ,disgrace to the town to have a
place like that in the town,” he said.
He told council a large quantity of old
steel at the rear of the building looked as
'though it had been there for years.
He said ' he had spoken to one of the
proprietors and ,had been informed the area
would be cleaned up.

The ' Department . of Transport •will
review •its schooling requirements with
the object of taking over Canadian Forces
Base. Clinton, Robert McKinley
(PC—Huron) said Friday.
Use of the base was rejected by the
department last year after it was
announced the department of national
defence would phase it out as an armed
forces training centre by .mid -1971.
Since that 'time, and in the face of
austerity, the treasury board has urged
the department of transport to . take
another look at Clinton for its schooling
requirements.
The department has an average of 400
men under training for air traffic control,
radio operation, meteorology, air traffic
regulations and various technical trades at

air training school at . Rockcliffe in
Ottawa at a cost of $5,500,`000.
"If the government -is really concerned
with saving money be closing armed
forces bases, it' should be concerned with
using existing facilities instead of
undertaking new construction;" said Mr. .
McKinley. • • .
He said he had the assurance of
Transport Minister Don Jamieson that
reassessment of Clinton facilities will be
made soon and that Defence Minister
Cadieux was willing to forego the loss of,
income .to his department that a transfer
of ownership from one• . department to
another would present.
The defence department uses proceeds
of sales of its facilities in its budget.
Clinton has been No. 1 signals and
linton
radar school for the armed forces, and, as
such, has equipment which would be
useful for coihmercial flying control
instruction for which D.O.T. is.
responsible.
Mr. McKinley said he had noticed on a •
parliamentary trip to Frobisher that
D.O.T. controls all installations there and
leases• facilities, not. needed, to other
institutions. This' take-over of Clinton by
the department• •would not' preclude • its
use for other -purposes. '
Interest in the Clinton facilities has
been expressed by other . public
institutions. Next week officials of
Fanshawe College, London, are to visit
the base to see if it could be useful for
needed expansion.
Availability of good housing on the
. base is an attraction. 30Ethel •

In his address, Mr. Williams "suggested
unemployment was the most "... serious,
economic problem facing Canada today d:
the government is deliberately causing

have no control." - -
Mr. Bishop, in , his keynote address^' •
pointed out -importance of recognizing the
change brought about by technological
research which have applied' to industrial
processes and consumer products and the
effects they have had • on the lives of the
workers.
"It is going on all around you. It is
Change over which you •and 'I have had no

It is change dedicated to one purpose only.
That purpose is, profit for the firm and for

many cases pollution of our air, soil and
water, --no matter whether the changes have
resulted in the irreparable destruction of our
natural resources, or whether the changes are
