Mr. Sillery also said that names from
non -councillors, up to four, would be
added to the recreation board as the
council saw fit.
A tour was also made of the Vanastra
Recreation complex to give council
members a better idea of the facilities
they would be administering._
According to Clerk Jim McIntosh, the
complex operated only -$1,100 in the red
in the last quarter of 1976. He said the
figure compared with $27,000 and $48,000
the prior -years but those costs included
final constructioll of the complex. He
also noted that the deficit would continue

"We need a good manaler and the
interest of the people in the area to make
the complex operate efficiently," he
said.
Mr. McIntosh also pointed out that the
$80,000 deficit acquired by the recreation
center over the last two years was what
could be expected of any complex in its

"So far it's really not a bad venture,"
Mr. Sillery said, considering the com-

Centre has been treated as a special

,
"nuclear energy is the only option that
can assure sufficient supplies of elec-
tricity to give us a prudent degree of self-
reliance during the 1980's and 1990's.".
"We need decisions today. We must
anticipate the needs of the future."
Mr. Taylor said that because the
uranium needed to fuel reactors is
available, plentiful and affordable, and
because world supplies of fossil fuels
such as oil and coal are dwindling,
nuclear generation must be the
inevitable choice.

our backyard and We •have a proven
converter at hand."
He called the CANDU nuclear reactor
utilized by Ontario Hydro "perhaps the
greatest technological achievement in
our country's history" and commended
its safety and performance records.
Three of the four 500,000 kilowatt
reactors at Pickering operated at better
than 90 percent capability in 1976 and all
four, including one unit that was out of
service kr several months, averaged 87
percent, he added.

was borne by Vanastra residents who
pay an extra recreation rate of 16 mills
to maintain the complex. The whole of
Tuckersmith Township paid 20 mills
toward recreation but the 16 mills in
Vanastra was on top of that figure.
Clerk Jim McIntosh, said Vanastra's
mill rate would have to be doubled from
16 mills for five years to cover the
centre's deficit.
Meanwhile in Exeter the community's
Recreation, Arena and Parks Com-
mittee has been disolved because, 'ac-
cording to Mayor Bruce Shaw, ithas
outlived its usefulness.
Mayor Shaw said the committee, set
up in 1961, was meant to administer the
three services but a new committee will
be set up to manage the South Huron
Recreation Centre, now under con-
struction.
The mayor said the new committee
will likely take over many of the
responsibilities of RAP. It will have
representative of neighboring townships
since the centre is to be an area facility.
In light of the new arrangements and
last year's controversy over committee
management, he said, this seemed like a
good time to end it.
The mayor said there were ad-
ministration and financing proysleAis
POINTS
"By way of comparison, fossil -fuelled
units in North America have a typical
reliability of only 74 percent, and North
American nuclear units about 65 per-
cent. Pickering's lifetime record is 77
percent."
Mr.'Taylor said that in 1976, two of the
units at Pickering outperformed all of
the other 67 nuclear installation of
comparable size around the world and a
third Pickering unit placed fourth in the
international ratings.
"The best performance in the world,"
he added. "And it took place just 20
miles east of this room."

program. The amendments will
• markedly improve the consistency of
treatment of beneficiaries between OAS
and other social security programs,
particularly the Canada Pension Plan.
In addition, the provisions, as they
relate to international social security
agreements, will enhance the Gover-
nment's ability to protect the acquired
social security credits of those of its
residents who migrate across in-
ternational boundaries.
Under the present Act, the OAS
pension is payable either in full or not at
all. .
Furtherrn or th residence
e,
requirements attach more weight to
some periods of residence in Canada
than to others. The combination of these
rules means that persons who have had
little association with Canada are
treated the same as those who have
spent all or most of their lives here.
' Under the proposed formula, the OAS
pension would be "earned" at the rate of„,
one fortieth of the maximum pension tot
each year of residence in Canada, after
age 18, up to a maximum of 90 years. The
effect of this amendment is to relate
more directly the amount of the OAS
benefit received to A , person's
association with and participation in
Canadian society.
A minimum of 10 years residence
would be required to obtain a pension in
Canada. Payment of the pision abroad
would require 20 years of Canadian
residence.
The new provisions will be im-
plemented gradually over a 40 yeai
period to ensure that everyone in
Canada, and persons abroad with prior
residence in Canada, will have the op-
portunity to earn a maximum OAS
pension. The new residence rules will
apply immediately to everyone under
age_ 25 and to persons outside Canada
without prior residence here.

The CANDU reactor boasts a superb

total unit energy • cost achieved at
Pickering is about one half that of
electricity costs from one of Hydro's
coal -burning stations.
"So we have the fuel, uranium, the
technology, CANDU, and a proven
record of operating safety and cost ef-
ficiency," Mr. Taylor said. "What is yet
to come is a confirmation of the com-
mitment to nuclear energy which Hydro
suggests can supply up to two thirds of
Ontario's electrical needs beyond 1985."

The end of RAP means five town
employees will be permanently laid off
although some will have their 'jobs
modified so they can work for other town

Mayor Shaw also said that it was the
feeling of council that recreation
director Jim McKinlay, who was laid off
last November, will not be rehired at this
point.

The largest single primary demand on

December 13, 1976 when electrical

accused Mrs. Gandhi of carrying the
country toward "despotic rule".
Two weeks ago, when Mrs. Gandhi
announced the March elections and
lifted the ban on political activity, she
seemed certain to win an easy victory in
the poll. The recent outpouring of anti-
government sentiment, climaxed by
Ram's resignation, is described by AP
as "a stunning reversal- for the Prime
Minister.
Just how large an impact these
developments will have on Mrs. Gan,
dhi's political strength is not known, but

Minister's tough authoritarian rule and
the growing influence of her 30 year old
