In an interview following his announcement of the two year ban, the Minister of the Environment, Harry Parrott, stated that the herbicides are being banned due to public anxiety over dioxin — the most toxic of man-made chemicals, traces of which have recently been found in two Lake Ontario fish. Both the suspect her­ bicides are known to be contaminated by small amounts of dioxin, and U.S. researchers have stated that a mere VI ,200th of a drop of pure dioxin would prove fatal. To replace these two herbicides (which are in­ cidentally used to control vegetation on Hydro rights- of-way and along highways) the government will allow, the use of 2,4-D, other phenoxy herbicides and picoram. These are considered less, toxic, though less effective, and contain no detectable levels of dioxin, but can control vegetation. In the Campbellford area, Northumberland Newcastle Board Education has angered parents by voting to continue spraying weed killer on school grounds, in spite of 'parents’ pleas for a moratorium until questions on the safety of the herbicide 2,4-D have been settled. This confrontation arose over an incident last year, when a contractor hired by the board sprayed the grounds at Percy Centennial School in Warkworth while children w.ere playing out­ side during recess. The spraying contractor arrived 10 minutes before recess, and despite parents' calls to the board offices, the principal was instructed by board officials to allow the children outside for recess while spraying continued. After hearing from a provincial Ministry of Environment official who said he felt sure the her­ bicide would be found safe regardless of some report^ questioning it, the board has voted to go ahead with the spraying. A team of three physicists and an engineer have released a report stating that excessive radiation from X- ray machines is causing some 20 leukemia cases a year in Qntario. The University of Toronto’s Dr. Kenneth Taylor and his colleagues, who have been working on this problem, believe that these 20 cases can be reduced to 2. Cobourg- the and of L.W.

E. SUMMERS The Granton W.I. met at the home of the new president Mrs. Hamilton Hodgins Tuesday evening. Mrs. Hodgins opened the meeting with the .W.I. Ode, Mary Stewart Collect and the Lord’s Prayer. . During .the business session- a bus trip- was discussed .and a, committee . named to plan it. Mrs, Clarence Lewis, gave an interesting report on the district annual meeting held that afternoon ■ at the Komoka Community Centre. As this is the .year of -the child, the theme for this meeting was “It’s the Year of the Child let’s get in­ volved”. The roll call was an exchange of plants for my.' . Friendship Garden. The topic was Agriculture and the program was con­ vened by Mrs. Percy Hodgins and Mrs. Elwood Morden. Mrs. Hodgins enlarged on the motto “Man has a true concept of life, when he plants a tree that he will never sit under”. , Mrs. Morden gave a very informative talk on plants and fertilizers, also some useful household hints. The guest speaker was the hostess’ niece Miss Penny Hodgins who was Queen of the Furrow at the County Ploughing Match last year. Penny also talked about her involvement in 4-H Club work and displayed some of her craft work and record books. Dr. Tuylor has been ^awarded $300,000 over the next three years for a program to minimize radiation levels. Based on a survey of 20 hospitals during 1977 and 1978, some 5 eprcent of hospital X-ray machines emit exceptionally high doses of radiation because they are not adjusted properly. This figure is a statistical estimate based on preliminary finds. In addition, the president of the 2,700 member Ontario Society for Radiological Technicians has stated that in this province anyone is permitted to run an X-ray machine without specialized training or a licence. She also stated that Ontario was warned at least ten years ago that some hospital patients were being exposed to dangerously high radiation levels when having X-rays. Provincial medicare continues to be a widespread topic of discussion. The Federal Minister of Health has stated that Ontario’s contribution to health costs has ‘‘dwindled down to close to nothing” — statement denied by the Provincial Treasurer, Frank Miller. Meanwhile, the Provincial Minister of Health, Dennis Timbrell, has said that Ontario residents don’t have to worry .about a reduced standard of health care due to the federal threat to cut health care payments to the Province. He considers the threat an election move, while his colleague, the Provincial Treasurer, says such a .cut in funding is unthinkable. The United Auto Workers union has said it may ask for a private health plan in contract negotiations if doctors continue to drop out of 0H1P. Each year at this time “Police Week” is celebrated all over Canada. This special week to promote police public co-operation is traditionally the week which includes the 15th of May, running from Sunday to Saturday. This practice was established in 1969, largely through the efforts of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. There are opening ceremonies, special exhibits (for the most part in plazas) and the public are welcome to tour police stations. It’s a wonderful opportunity to pay tribute to our police forces, and to become more knowledgeable about their work and their problems. Harry Parrott, the Minister of Environment introduced a bill in the Legislature that will eliminate tlTe Pesticides Appeal Board and in­ corporate its responsibilities with those of the Environ­ mental Appeal Board. The members of the Pesticides Appeal Board will be ap­ pointed as members of the Environmental Appeal Board. Under this aTnendment, the Environmental Appeal Board will hear appeals from decisions of the director under The Presticides Act, which normally relate to matters of licences or permits con­ cerning pesticides. The procedures for these appeals will remain unchanged at least for a period of time. At some future date, these procedures may be amended to parallel other appeals to the Environmental Appeal Board. l DASHWOOD PHONE 237-3661 Welcome To Exeter All of us at the Junc­ tion are pleased to welcome Anstett Jewellers Ltd. to our community.
