•Letters to the editor
Think before you vote
Dear Editor,
On November 25, 1980
Harry Parrott, Minister of
Environment, announced
that South Cayuga had been
selected as 'the location for
an industrial waste disposal
facility destined to handle all
of Ontario's industrial
waste, currently estimated
at some 60 million gallons a
year.
As a citizens' group, our
major concern is with the
manner in which that an-
nouncement was made and
the dangerous implications
behind that announcement -
implications which affect all
of Ontario. For when the
government announced its
decision, it stated that there
would be 'no Environmental
Assessment Hearings nor
Expropriation Hearings.
We are not saying, nor
have we ever said, that we
don't want the `dump' in our
backyard. All we have ever
asked for is our richt, accor-
ding to existing legislation,
to a full Environmental
Assessment Hearing in
order that ALL the facts be
brought out, both pro and
con, so that Ontario will not
have to de i...with its own
LOVE C
The number of organiza-
tions and associations endor-
sing our demands for such a
hearing is . growing, and
while too numerous to list,
they, do include: Canadian
• Environmental Law
-Association, Pollution Pro-
be, Greenpeace, Baptist
Convention of Ontario and
, Quebec, Ontario Federation
of Agriculture, . Consumers'
Association of Canada (On-
tario), Ontario Christian
Sarsners plus some 250 On-
tario municipalities.
We, as citizens, are being
extremely reasonable about
this issue - we are asking for
nothing more; nor will we
settle for anything less, than
a hearing under the En-
vironmental Assessment
Act. The Ontario govern-
ment has. chosen to circum-
vent its own legislation and
refuses to listen to us.
• We urge you.. to•consider
the seriousness of this pro-
, blem - for, while this par-
ticular topic is South Cayuga
and an environmental issue -
if the government's dic-
tatorial attitude goes un-
challenged - next time it
could be YOU and YOUR
COMMUNITY over another
issue.
If the government cares so
little for the rights of 40,000
people in our• area, do you
really think they will care or
listen to you?
Think carefully before you
cast your vote on March 19.
Yours truly,
Rene Tunney

Dear Editor,
An open letter to Mayor
Harry Worsen:
What a beautiful St.
Valentine's day gift
Goderich has given Terry
Fox - the most beautiful one
of all - the gift of love! He
gave it to us in °his Marathon
of Hope and. Goderich has
responded in kind - giving it
from their hearts, from the
,:oldest to the youngest at-
tending the "Candles of Hope
Vigil" held February 14 at
the Court House.
I was greatly impressed by
the dignity and the sim-
plicity off that _beautiful
evening and 1 shall never
forget tit 1 came by bus from
Toronto when I heard about
it and I was so happy to be
there and to be part of it.
Thank you, Goderich - it's
towns like yours and people
like you - and Terry Fox
that make me proud I'm a
c.2�1rnadiiAn! !
Forever grateful for a
beautiful „,•,,.., memory,
Is evolution
a fairy tale?
Dear Editor:
How does the theory off
evolution compare to
Nazism? Hitler said "Give
me a child- until he is seven,,
and he is mine." The
evolutiontheory is - we must
reach children at an early
age. The philosophy ad-
vocated by Goebbels
(Hitler's minister of
propaganda) was: tell a lie,
give it a wide circulation, be
persistent, make it fantastic
enough, and eventually the
ones who believe . it will
create facts for it.
The theory of evolution has -
proved this to be true,
because the ones who believe
in it have tried, over the
years, to prove it as a fact.
The Hitler youth betrayed
their own families, and
Yours truly,
Armellini,
Toronto.
eventually became Stor-
mtroopers and Gestapo
agents. We have yet toex
periencewhat would happen
to youth trained in -the
evolution theory.
An adult learning is able to
distinguish between fiction
and fact. When a child
learns, he o r she takes it with
trust, and it remains ` with
him or. her. Shduldthe theory
of evolution be allowed to
eventually revolutionize our
society, and destroy the
family unit?
I. think the thebi'y 'of
evolution should be placed in
its proper perspective
because 'of a lack of
evidence, with the rest of the
fairy tales Once upon a
time.
Sincerely,
Minaker
