This election will determine the future course of Cala, in fact it-wilidecid a i C n- ada is to exist at all. Arlene Perle Rae was the guest speaker. She said that the trade deal threatens the whole concept of Can- ada, our health care system and women. She recalled how Mulroney tried to reduce old age pensions and how it took a fight by senior citi- zens to force the Tories back down. She stated that the reason Canada has not been strict with companies that create pollution is because these companies back both the To- 'ries and the liberals with donations. Only the New Democrats with Ed Broadbent would bring in strict anti pollution laws because they do not receive money from these big com- panies.. She said that the Trade Deal would threaten small family farms and she praised the love and concern for the land which Fran and Tony McQuail have for thcir farm.

"I'm sure there are other places that have mills who have the same problems," said councillor Irene Da- vis, asking if the ministry could be contacted about diminishing landfill capacity. "I don't see why it couldn't be spread back on the fields," said Bak- er. - Councillor Peter Groot suggested nothing would be done without an initiative from the muncipality. "Right now it's the easiest meth- od for them to get rid of it until we come up with something else," said Groot. Baker was concerned the mills were taking advantage of.the landfill site more than ever. "I bet there were 40 truckloads of dirt and bean pods out there," said Baker. Reeve Jim Robinson asked for a meeting to'be arranged with.the mills. "We should have somebody from the ministry of.the environment or at. least our engineer who has done the study on the landfill site, sug- gested councillor Cecil Pepper. Baker pointed out that some screening piles—have been at the landfill site for 2,p years and are still not stable enough to be driven • over. Davis wondered if the mills could be encouraged to buy a gravel pit in which to dump their screenings. pits, but agreed with council that, technically, the screenings are not garbage. . "Fifty years ago, the. farmers used to bring it in and take some home," . said Baker. "It's the same stuff that comes out the back of a combine." "I've been thinking about it fora number of years," said Pepper, not- ing the problem is not new, "and I've got no solution." Baker, Hoffman, Pepper, and clerk -treasurer Luanne Phair will or- ganize a .meeting to discuss the .problem with mill representatives. In other business, Phair told council a shopping bag design has been selected to promote . the Vil- lage of "Hensall as well as to pack- age the Hensall Hampers handed out to new residents each Christmas. "This is going to be a little more presentable, I think," said Phair. Fifty thousand of the biodegrada- ble bags have been ordered for the village and will be sold to mer- chants at a cost of $50 per thou- sand. The ministry of housing is hon- oring an original price quotation to equip the village office with a com- puter, even though it will cost an additional $4,000 to upgrade the system with. a better quality printer and the ability to use two terminals to meet Hensall's needs. The total system cost is estimated at $18;681,- of—which—the- province will fund at least $9,340.
