L..++r+•.d 6 WA HUR$DAY, OCTOBER 16,1w�PAG85 Shipping chairman warns Seaway outdated Improved facilities and not higher tolls are needed to en- sure the economic future of the St. Lawrence Seaway, a spokesman for the Great Lakes Waterways Development Association has contended. • In an address.to the Sault Ste. Marie Rotary Club, ]Ralph Misener of St. Catharines disagreed with projections that indicate the Seaway will be out READERS (continued from page 1,) parents' fault for not making absolutely certain the child would never make a mistake? Clearly these- questions are stupid. No one cap be blamed. It was an accident .... and luckily it was a minor one. Chief King has, reminded parents to review over and over again the importance of safety and how to achieve it. But children are_,children .•... and accidents happen even . in the best managed situations. And so in my opinion, Chief King is probably right when he says that the lights at the Five Points should ,be guard enough. for children. But I can sincerely sympathize with the parents who feel strongly about the fact thht . an extra measure of precaution would make the intricate corner just that much more safe. The estion now comes down_ whether or not the town should provide a crossing guard system for the' Five Points intersection. It would, seem this would be an ad- ditional municipal expense which probably is not justified .... and it would further seem that the Home and School Association could find one of•its first duties to be p=roviding volunteer crossing guards at this intersection, Maybe these , would only be required from the first of -September until Christmas each year - the period when children are readjusting to being back in school and the discipline of routine. • At Britannia Road, however, and along Bayfield Road south (these are stretches of road I travel .daily) there is .need for crossing guards. There should 'be specific crossing points designated and there should be crossing guards on duty there at peek periods. I really fear for the safety of all youngsters in that area °... and I know I'm not alone. en The parents of . Victoria School are accepting the challenge to provide a volun- teer crossing guard system for. a short period of time .... until the town is able to hire staff to do the job. The parents are hoping it, will be only tem- porary and that permanent crossing guards will be located. Whatever happens, 'drivers must remain especially alert in the school zone, for carefree ' children are -unpredictable. Parents must drill their children concerning safety precautions. .... and teachers must reinforce,those lessons in the classroom. Mr. George Cox of Princess Street is the president of the .

"In my view, the need for a Seatvay geared to ac- commodate modern-day ship designs will reach crisis proportions long before 1990," he said. Mr. Misener is chairman of the board of Scott Misener Steamships Limited. In 1973, the peak year to date, the Montreal to Lake Ontario section handled 57.6 million tons and the Welland Canal 67,2 million tons. During 1974 there was a virtual standstill of cargo movement for 100 days out of a normal 260- day season because Area scrutinized again as a result of Truscott ,Clinton and. Huron County are under the magnifying glass of • the mass media again because of the highly •controversial Stephen Truscott affair. A recently released Canadian made movie called "Recom- mendation For Mercy" has put Clinton and area back in the national spotlight, and4Clinton and Goderich received more unwanted publicity again last week when Stephen Trtis,cott himself went on .a Toronto Radio station last Thursday, and the interview received nationwide coverage, on the CBC National News, Mr. Truscott, now 30 year-- old, was sentenced to hang for the 1959 rape -murder of a 12- year-old Clinton area` girl. He said in a copyright interview on a Toronto Radio Station, CHUM that capital punishment should be outlawed. In his first radio interview since his parole in 1969, Mr. Truscott .said that after talks with' fellow prisoners., he feels -most criminals consider capital' punishment a deterrent only, when they are caught. Now living under an assumed name, Mr. Truscott is married - and the father of two children. Even afterl6 years, he .maintains he is innocent of the murder of Lynne Harper, who was found , strangled, ..j.n a wooded area in Tuckersmith Township. v Mr. Truscott said, that psychiatrists attempted to gain a confession with treatments of LSD and pentathol but were unsuccessful "because I wasn't guilty," Also interviewed by CHUM was Mrs. Truscott, who said , she firmly believes in her husband's innocence. ' ;Thprn'S nn vO.v th'nt T could live .with a man who had raped and murdered a . 12 -year-old girl," she said. Mr. Truscott said the locale of his trial yin Goderich, the county seat, hurt his case, If the trial had been held in Toronto or ,in an area. away from Huron County, he would have been acquitted, Mr, Truscott said. - • "Police could not be bothered to go into a real in, vestigation..•and took the first person who had been in- volved," he said. He said when the police pick up a suspect, the public automatically thinks that suspect is guilty. He said he and his wife seldom discuss the case and he has just learned to live with it, He said he is reasonably happy and "quite successful in living a normal life," but is worried about the security and privacy of his family. His two pre-school children do not know of their father's past and will not be told until they are 12 or 13, Mrs. Truscott said. Mr. Truscott said he has some ideas about the identity of the real murder of Lynne Harper, but has no. positive" proof. "I have strong feelings, the same as everybody else," he said. of labor disputes, he pointed out. Moreover, Mr. Misener noted, • the shipping ,p 'asop on the Upper Lakes is now ; in operation all -year round. Steps should also be taken to lengthen the Seaway season. especially in view of rising . fuel costs, since water transportation is by far the greatest energy saver and also has the least adverse effect on the environrhent. Mr. " Misener „ contrasted recommendations by the federal St. Lawrence Seaway Authority to incre se tolls with U.S. measures to ,ire tolls at the current level and cautioned that unilateral Canadian action would- invite American retaliation against Canadian shipping. Higher tolls will increase the cost of Canadian iron ore and other products which flow to the United States in very large volume,. he warned. Fur- thermore, a toll increase cpuld prove counter-productive. "Seaway trade ' is not a, captive market. If the price is right, there are . alternative transportation modes," he said. The federal government's apathetic and at times hostile attitude to the Seaway differs sharply from the privileged treatment other forms of transportation enjoy, he claimed. • For an initial Canadian capital investment of $310.9 million the Seaway has been a ,, bargain in terms of economic benefit, he asserted. "The aborted Puckering Airport cost taxpayers $100 million alone in pre -planning," Mr. Misener said. "Now is the - time for planning for the future. We should be taking immediate steps to improve the system," He referred to 'rumblings' from United States interests at Canadian hesitancy to update the Seaway, pointing out that somelY.S. carriers operating in the Upper. Lakes are now too big to pass through Seaway locks, "How long will the American` owners of ' super-lakers be . content to have their carriers trapped in the upper lakes?" he asked. The Great Lakes Waterways Development Association was formed in 1959 to encourage low-cost water transportation in Canada's inland waterway system. It represents grain growers, flour millers, iron ore producers, shipping com- panies, ship- -elders, steelmakers, coal and mining companies, newsprint manufacturers and business organizations from , Newfoundland to Alberta.
