Dear Editor:
I hope you'll be able to find some
'spacc'for the attached story. If the
proposed Exeter/Morrison Dam cor-
ridor is to be a success, those using
it will have to pay more- respect to
the environment,. as well as to pri-
vate property.
These are the third remains of'a
picnic we have had to clear up!
* * * * * * *
Becky and her friends wcnt for a
picnic last week. They packed their
lunches in a -white.plaslic bag with
'Huron Public Education -Opening
up the world' on it and another bag.
from Bayfield's Red Pump. Becky's
lunch was in a little brown paper
bagwith her.namc on it.
To cat, they had some sandwiches
and chocolate -coated cookies. To
.drink, they had a large bottle of
- Coca-Cola Classic, a fruit -juice box
and two cans of pop. And, of
course, they took along napkins.
They found a lovely shaded spot
tinder a big willow tree in a meadow
between Exeter and Morrison Dam;
It made a great site for a picnic on a
hot summer's day.
When they had finished, they
- threw all the plastic bags, sandwich -
%%rappers and drink containers, as
well as the napkins and drinking
straws into and around a handy creek
so they didn't have to carry their
own litter home. . -
How dismayed Becky must have
been when she got home again to
find that in the brown paper lunch
bag she threw away was one of her
mother's teaspoons.
But don't worry Becky, I picked
up that too, along with the rest of
your litter. If you want it back,
please call me at 235-1459.. I'll as-
sume you and your friends don't
want the refund on the large Coke
bottle, so I'll collect that myself!

Dear Editor.
I am concerned about the sudden
rush to abandon railway lines across
the -country and especially in Onta-
rio. I see railways as an alternative
to the ever increasing proliferation
of separate fossil fuel burning high-
way vehicles. It may well prove
necessary and beneficial to make
greater useof the fundamentally
more energy efficient and environ-
mentally less damaging rail net-
work, as an alternative.
The interests of the nation must
lie in: conserving energy supplies;
reducing pollution (e.g. carbon di-
oxide, lead and asbestos); slowing
down the onsct of the greenhouse
effect which is heating the planet,
and which by burning fossil fuels;
increasing highway safety, by reduc-
ing the mix of heavy trucks with
smaller automobiles; reducing the
costs to taxpayers of an ever heavier
duty highway system; maximizing
opportunities for regional develop-
ment (e.g. rail access for industrial
parks, commuter and tourist trains).
I feel that it is essential to devel-
op a mechanism to assist lean, mo-‘
tivated, regional entrepreneurs, who
would be willing to grow with the
communities they serve in the reac-
tivation of rail lines, which the
large centralized companies wish to
abandon.
-
I recommend that interested citi-
zens write to or send a clipping of
this letter to The Honourable Benoit
Bouchard, Minister of -Transport,
Ottawa, Canada K IA ON5, no post-
age required and to Mr. Michael Far-
quhar._ Director General Rail Policy,
