( photo by Dave Sykes 1 IODE celebrates patriation Members of the Maple Leaf chapter of the IODE gathered to celebrate the patriation of the Canadian constitution Saturday, April 17 at the home of Mrs. Marie Hughes: Mrs. G.L. Royal, Provincial standard bearer for the Maple Leaf chapter addressed -the- group --on. -the- historic occasion. "We are meeting , here today to join in celebrating the proclamation ceremonies; the con-. stitittional sign -over, the Canada Act. It is a time of reflection on the Meaning of citizenship. Let us remember that citizenship is a privilege that brings responsibility. Citizenship is not everywhere in the world a right, as"we take for granted in Canada. Each person who becomes a Canadian citizen- takes it yen -takes the following oath. "I swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I1, Queen of Canada, her heirs and successors according to law and that I . will faithfully observe the laws of Canada and fulfill my duties as a Canadian citizen." Naturally we all know that oath applies „to Canadian born citizens Mrs. Royal said. -T rerefare- we- are especially happy and proud to have Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada, on our soil to be part of these historical ceremonies. "Today is a beginning; a new start for our nation. Confederation was born , in difficulty and has weathered well. Our fresh start today, -born in difficulty, too, will weather any adversity if we approach it with dignity, patience and tolerance. "I -..ask -you as_membe rrs_-o£._ the IODE, as patriotic citizens. of our beloved land, Canada, to rise and toast this day, the proclamation ceremonies of the Canada Act." Wawanosh residents should look . • from page 4 the plan does not permit it. Quote - "farming is away of life in East Wawanosh. In Planning Workshop pro- gram desire to continue way of life expressed strongly and positively." Comment - True - but no desire was expressed to be ordered, permitted, allowed to do it in the manner in which someone else dictates. Quote - "clearing will not be allowed" - • "drainage shall be discouraged" - per- manent structures of any type will not be permitted" Comment - There are those phrases again telling us we cannot do it. It really doesn't seem to matter to these planners of our future as East Wawanosh township residents. The farmer is hav- ing a rough enough time try- :. Mg to make ends meet and might need to drain land or clear an area .to augment his income. Why should they care? They pick up their pay cheques regularly and if the farmer can't exist - so what he was getting too fat and prosperous anyway. Quote - "areas of privately owned natural environment will remain part of larger farm holding" Comment Aren't they nice? They allow tis to keep our own' land. Quote - "Plan shall be im- plemented through the local municipal capital works pro- gram" Comment - In other words they secure their jobs and their pay cheques if the plan goes through. Quote - "land affected may revert to a use in conformity with the intent of the Official Plan , Comment - Here again - we will be told what to do: Quote - "participation of general public deemed crucial" Comment - Very easily said, but they listen and go ahead with the plan anyway. It doesn't seem to matter what people say unless they are saying what the planning board wishes to hear. Quote - "E.W. Council may pass by laws" - re: cleanliness buildings, main- taining yards, buildings, fences, etc. Comment -• Just another example how this will affect each and every resident of East Wawanosh Township. • WELCOME NOME This plan is just asking your permission to give them the authority to govern your lives and .the lives ;of our ,children and ,.grandchildren should they live in East Wawanosh Township. I'll give this plan credit in one area. . Auburn, Belgrave; Whitechurch and Hutton Heights are being allowed to, Quote - "develop in their own styleand to the satisfac- tion of their -residents". Comment - It is understandable Why this is done. Add the total residents of these 4 hamlets; then total the farmers affected by this plan and guess what the vote for the plan would be? You guessed it. The motion for the plan .goes through because when one is not directly affected, there is a tendency to say, "That's the other guy's problem, . not Mine," but it could be one of your future generation's pro- blems. Hopefully everyone in East Wawanosh. Township will read this draft and notice all the things we will no longer have control of (e.g. our lives and our future and our children's future as DEE- BEE residents here), if it is.pass- ed and becomes a law. I plan to attend the meeting on May 6 and sincerely hope every tax payer of East Wawanosh does too.
