the Photo by Andai The first half hour or so was taken up with the showing of slides.This was an excellent film with some three or four pictures on the large screen at the same time.These showed rural scenes, air views of streets and bridges together with maps of the area designated the areas planned for future development and those to be reserved for agricultural and recreational After all, that is what planning is all about, or MUSTARD Agronomist introduces Rotarians to new cash crop grown in Pontiac These maps clearly The Property Owners Association of Green Lake have organized a special event which could be of interest to everyone who owns a boat or uses one.The hope is that people will become safety conscious or at least learn a few accepted practices to lessen the danger of accident in and around boats.With the co-operation of expert instructors from the Canadian Red Cross, they will present a seminar and exhibition on small boat handling at the wharf at Green Lake and the public is invited to attend.The seminar is to be free but everyone attending must bring his or her own life jacket.Small boat handling will be the main topic of the seminar which starts at ten o'clock in the morning and will run for three hours, until one o'clock.purposes should be.The commentary on this was excellent At the conclusion of the film, Chief Manning Officer Hamilton described in detail the various areas as shownm on a large map.Sections planned for concentrated populations such as Hull and Gatineau, villages design itcd as residential, such as Quyon, Ste.Ceclle de Masham and Wakefield, where limited growth is planned.Also clearly shown were the areas of excellent farm land, planned to be reserved for that purpose This provoked the most criticism, as can be expected, many felt there should be no restriction on the opportunity to cash in on sales of any land for any purpose.This facet of the planning program will present the greatest difficulty.While it is essential that prime farm land must be preserved some form of compensation for those owners so restricted will have to be worked out.It was gratifying to note that the Pontiac Bay clearly designated as a spot that would not be developed commercially.This will be good news for the National Capital Commission, which already owns much of that section and has plans of preserving that historic area for posterity.Questions and opinions from the floor included an appeal for greater growth in and around Quyon village.This in order to widen the tax base and eventually to lower the tax rate.The answer to this was that the cost usually worked the other way.In other words the greater the development the higher the taxes.One questioner asked simply \"What are you giving Pontiac.In my opinion nothing but higher costs and higher taxes\".The answer was even more brief, \"We are giving you a plan.\" One complained that the brochure was in French only and that it was difficult to get any information in English.This statement was greeted with loud applauce from the audience.The answer was that translation was expensive - six and a half cents a word.This led many to wonder, that with so many from the C.R.O.office here for this meeting so well qualified in English, why expensive translation from outside should be necessary.tty Ted Christie Also view tobacco and potato crops i Rotary Club members then ventured forth to view perimental field of mustard grown by Lome Hanna and from there toured another specialty crop farm tobacco-under the expert guidance of the owner, Mr.Clayton an Under the direction of their guest, Mr.Doug McMillan, the local government agriculture representative, the Shawville Rotary Club spent a most interesting and enlightening evening at their last meeting.ex Cummings Mr McMillan first discussed details of the newly initiated project of growing mustard as a cash-crop.Through an arrangement with the Quebec Government, some load growers are experimenting with a type of mustard seed which will be processed at KemptvUle.Ontario, and end up as a hot-dog relish.\t.\t, Though guaranteed $50.00 per acre as a minimum, a good crop might produce as many as 1500 lbs.per acre, at 15 cents per pound.With a 95 day growing period required, this crop, if successful, might well be a worthwhile investment for other local farmers.The evening wound up at Orval Smarts potato fields, well advanced with a new type of potato, the \u201cSuperior\", which, after ten years of development seems to be the potato of the future in this area.Great things are expected of this new type by our local potato \u201cking\".which are Do you need an extra phone book?area was A fine lunch, provided by Mrs.Smart, and an informative heated\u201d discussion of farming

Pontiac.There was a lot more discussion and finally the Pontiac Social Planning Council adopted a resolution to establish a process to seek solutions to the impending unemployment in the County through community development.Alan Ludlow, a Director of the Social Planning Council, was appointed to do the preliminary work towards preparing a request for funds from ( anada Manpower to undertake this work.Other matters brought up at the meeting related to the Community Services Centre at Campbell\u2019s Bay and to the Mosgrove boarding house in Shawville.The Centre, was originally obtained for the purpose of getting several important social services under one roof for better co-ordination of activities in this County.Now that this end had been achieved, the Social Planning Council was anxious to get out of the landlord business and asked the Municipal Council of Campbell's Bay to take over ownership of the building with all its responsibilities.This is now being realized.With regard to the boarding house in Shawville, the Council had asked the Minister of Social Affairs to grant Mr.Mosgrove a permit and to pay him the various subsidies which these homes are supposed to receive but the reply from Quebec stated that they would not do this and that they were at present taking Mr.Mosgrove to court charged with operating without the permit which they refused to grant.There was no reason supplied in the letter for the refusal of the permit to Mr.Mosgrove The next meeting of the Social Planning Council will be in August.The public is always invited to attend

they were safe until 1975 when that country made them unwelcome and they were once more sent back to Malawi.Now they are there under severe persecution once more.Mr Sewell hopes that the people of this community, no matter of what religion they may be, will write letters to the President of Malawi and try to point out to him that his persecution of people because of their religious beliefs is unhuman and morally wrong.It goes against the religion of the Jehovahs Witness to belong to any political party and to carry such cards.According to reports, Jehovahs Witnesses in Malawi have been beaten, raped, robbed, driven from their homes, and publicly abused by government officials and parents have been separated from young children, because they wilt not buy the Malawi Congress Party

around the County who might come up with a solution, or parts of a solution, before the Social Planning Council plan gets on the rails.That would be terrific because if there's one thing the SPC wants most it is for problems to be solved, regardless of by whom.The SPC is such a low key organization that some people don't even know they exist.That s the way it should be.The SPC isn t looking for publicity or fame or even for credit for the things it accomplishes.The only thing the SPC wants is to be useful from time to time to help out in the planning stages of whatever the people of the County need most.Today it seems that a real need is some M0\u201eNuke material available feeling of security that will tide us all over the next twelve months.Starting as early as for 6X111 Dit it anyone wants to organize it before.Our communities are small and are geared to the current paychecks and when the pay stops the spending will stop and not only will families of ex-miners be affected but also the pfe who provide the goods and services to those families.U there # a large exodus of population the schools will dwindle in size to the point where the luxury of specialists will become a part of history.Maybe all this change would be for the better - who\u2019s to decide?But the impressions that have come to the Social Planning Council indicate that most people would prefer to growth in this area instead of the reverse.At the moment the SPC is working out a plan.One of the first things they will want will be some good suggestions from the rest of the community, especially from the people who work at the mine.In memory of the late Mrs Earl Thomas Donald and Joan Woermke $5.00.Mr and Mr* Arthur Thomas 5.00.Mr and Mrs James Carmichael 5.00.Erwin and Doreen Armstrong 5.00.Mr Ronald

Scientific glass bio wer hopes Canada will have a glass blowing school Four such suggestions have already been a bus and truck relayed to the SPC: maintainance depot using the experience and shops already there; a food processing plant using the steam generator already there; a fish hatchery to replenish the lakes of this County; bringing ore up from Hull to be processed at Hilton.Some of these suggestions might be shot down in flames but they shouldn\u2019t be until they have been carefully studied.In fact every possible suggestion should be given its due.but tariff But those imports would be at the expense of domestic manufacturing.The trade deficit - $9.8 billion in 1975 and rising higher in 1976 - would increase dramatically.The Canadian dollar would fail to 85 cents U.S.and imports would become higher priced - the same effect as a tariff creates.There is nothing free about free trade.When tariff barriers are removed they are replaced by other barriers.In Japan, for example, if telephone equipment is found to contain a single foreign component, government inspectors will find a reason for rejecting it.Anonymous $50.00 A 4,000-year-old decorative art is serving

plan.We believe that the solution does not lie with any one plan but that a number of ideas be put into action.If our County Industrial Committee brings in a great new industry or a number of small

several Europena industries He makes coils of tubing for gas and in North Africa before coming to Canada 14 years ago.Mr.Ducoumeau, like fellow members of the American Scientific Glassblowers Society,
