Lefebvre replies to I letter about the tracks Federal grant helps renovate Agricultural Hall - m i # An open letter from Joe Doyle of Fort Coulonge to Mr Tom Lefebvre, MP on the subject of preservation of the right of way of the railroad \u201cnow that it seems definite that our railroad tracks will be lifted\u201d, was published last week in THE EQUITY.In an interview last Thursday, Mr Lefebvre responded to the letter by saying that he hopes the defeatist attitude1 of that letter is not representative of the attitude of the citizens of Pontiac in general.With regard to Mr Doyle's suggestion that \"some such authority as the NCC\" take over the railroad property, Mr Lefebvre points out that the region now within the authority of the NCC ends at Wyman and does not include any territory surrounding the track to be removed.Further .more he notes that purchase and maintenance of this 43.5 mile ribbon of property would be an enormous undertaking.Mr Lefebvre states most emphatically his distaste for discussions at this time of possible ways of disposing of the property under the tracks.He believes that energy expended by the community now should be spent on preserving the tracks.He is not ready to give up on the campaign to keep the tracks \u2014 a campaign on which he has been working, on behalf of the entire County, for many years.\u2018\u2018Why not give it all we\u2019ve got?\u201d asks Lefebvre.He proposes that rather than considering alternative uses of the right of way, the people of the County should be writing letters to the Governor in Council requesting that the tracks be left in place, at least until the MRC of Pontiac has had an opportunity to create its Master Plan for development of the region.To address the Governor in Council, one would send a letter to: His Excellency the Governor in Council, Privy Council Office, Government of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario; Attention: Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet.In commenting on the open letter in THE EQUITY, Mr Lefebvre remarked that he would have appreciated receiving the letter in his office before reading it in the newspaper.He finds it rather discouraging to discover that there are those in the County already making plans for the disappearance of the tracks before the final appeal to keep them has been dealt with.m AUGUST 1983 StPTHWtR

and evenings Rosaleen Dickson An important means of communicating with our governments is through the party structure.Local input is essential if local ideas are to reach the people who implement policy.There is no need for our local riding associations to be run entirely from Mont Laurier or Aylmer; there is no need for Now is the time to get involved and overcome the fear of being associated with a political party.The sooner the policies of all levels of government in Canada reflect the needs and desires of the grass roots, the better.Go fly a kite ! Saturday evening a bit of Although no-one knows who first invented kites, it is known that a Greek gentleman by the name of Archytas of Tarentum flew kits in the 4th century B.C.and that kites were probably flown in oriental countries long before that.In these days of complicated expensive contraptions, it's sometimes nice to take up a hobby that costs almost nothing, has an outlet for the undiscovered artist or design genius in all of us and can be pursued simply by stepping outside on a windy day.Kite flying is such a hobby.All that\u2019s needed to make a kite is some string, two pieces of wood and some light paper as shown in the above illustration from the 1959 Junior Encyclopaedia Britannica.Letters from our readers.L Dear Editor: We have all heard much controversy over the Canadian Transport Commission's decision to abandon the railway line from Wyman to Waltham.Agreed, Pontiac needs this line to attract new industry.Unfortunately, the CTC sees our line as uneconomical and not worthy of existance.I have heard many people suggest that this land be used for \u201cSkiing, biking, jogging, or just walking\u201d.In my opinion, this land should be returned to the original owners\u2014 farmers.They are the ones who will make the best use of the land.Working the land is their livelihood, not just a pastime.We have public roads and ski trails for our ambitious citizens.For many years farmers along this line have been hindered by the trains.They must travel across these lines, going through two gates to get to their fields.In some cases, the train gives off sparks when braking, leaving the potential for a very serious fire.It is the FARMER who must put out these fires, not the workers of CP Rail.The farmers are the ones who have withstood these problems.They deserve to regain what is rightfully theirs \u2014 the land.33 r> mood builds and the dance Kites range in size from a few inches across to many feet.They can be flown by a small child or can require the efforts of an entire running team to get them launched.They can be works of art or can be designed to accomplish a specific military or scientific task.Once a kite enthusiast has mastered the art of building a simple kite, the éky Is tile limit as far as modifying the design is concerned.There are kites without tails, box kites, acrobatic kites with many components, decorative kites in the shape of monsters .the list is endless.Pontiac County has great kite-flying weather from about mid-August until late October \u2014 lots of wind and not too / h m mtm Sunday at 5 pm promises to the merrier.Throughout the Fair Karen.Towle will be on hand at the horticultural exhibit to provide information and to speak to those interested about the possibility of starting a Pontiac horticultural society.Then Monday at noon, a Casino will open upstairs at the Arena.And probably there are even more new attractions that have so far escaped our attention.¦ I *c Economic development team Pontiac's economic development team consists of Joan Brady and Gérard Viau, here photographed on Calumet Island at their press conference which was reported upon last week on page 4.) c Sincerely Ruth Smiley Pontiac Historical Society meeting July 10, 1983 Dear Editor: Is Mr Axworihy\u2019s work sharing, too little, too late?I, along with many others, believe that he should have stated that his goal was a legislated shorter work week.However, it is nice to hear our government give us a message that should have been given long ago.There\u2019s only one salvation for both the unemployed and the taxpayer.Regarding LESS work for more people, the editorial in one of the french language papers that stated production would decrease if work sharing was introduced did not seem to realize that the same number of hours per annum would be worked, and, I guess he hasn\u2019t heard of what happened in the British Isles when in the seventies, due to the energy crunch, many industries had to cut their weeks work by half, instead of production decreasing it increased.Peculiar!! People were astounded to hear the person that is supposed to be our next Prime Minister state that he did not believe in confrontation.Is that what happened at Iron Ore?I do not believe that his saying that Miss Bégin should have her mouth washed out, with soap, done much toward garnering votes.Too many people fought too long for medicare for us to let it start to come to pieces, many of us still remember when a doctor or hospital bill left us in debt for years.The gradual erosion of our health plan cannot continue in any province.Members of Unions no longer have much faith in their leaders, and for good reason.Most of your readers must have read their statements on work sharing, they overlooked the fact that they would have more members and therefore more dues.They also fail to understand that to continue to support the unemployed taxes will soon readi terrible heights.The government cannot keep on borrowing.With full employment there would be many more taxpayers, less mental illness, and even though their take home pay would decrease, for a time, I believe that wages would eventually rise because people that know they are not going to be without work would spend more and both production and wages might then increase.Job retraining, or just training, seems to bug some of the industrialists, they fear that there\u2019s not enough trained help available to support a shorter work week; however, if they look back to the war years, and what was accomplished by a largely untrained work force, I think they may have second thoughts.In many instances we still find people working overtime.If management cannot balance out work and production schedules, it is high time they themselves be restrained.parmapacnon hot The Pontiac Historical Soci ety met in the Museum on Marjorie and Sherwood July 18 at 8 p.m.with fifteen Grant\u2019s cottage at Norway members and two visitors Bay on August 15 for our attending.The president, Annie Gamble, welcomed all and made by Edison Brown thanked them for attending.The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved.The treasurer\u2019s report showed a balance of $1314.96.The President reported that a good number had visited the Museum on Canada Day and Crawford and lunch Allana Macintosh from The served by Annie assisted by Equity visited and prepared a Pearl McCleary in Mrs news story for the paper We have been invited to A t r li ' meeting.Motion to adjourn was li Pearl McCleary introduced Venetia Crawford who gave a very interesting talk on Panac and the danger of radio active materials and disarmament problems./ *f ** WM 4 \u2022 m The president thanked Mrs was i air 92°^ weight of what was put in the barn.The other extreme, round were met in Montreal on July\tchance to familiarize them 4th by the Quebec Inter-\tselves with another province cool off those hot, sultry days\tplanted close to the house, a\tprovincial Exchange co-ordina-\tby experiencing it's lifestyle\tba^es improperly stored out with a breeze.Planting a tree\trow of Lombardy poplar along\ttors, Carole Ness and Denise\tand culture first-hand.Along\tSlde 64,1 have UP t° 40% of is like inviting the wind to\tthe fence line, a Mountain Ash\tBissonnette.The afternoon\twith the many other national\ttbc*r bay damaged and come along.Careful placing of\tin front of the picture window\twas spent touring the original\t4-H programs, it also shares\tweathered.The majority of trees and foundation planting\tand a pond full of lily pads.If\tRoyal Bank Head Office, and\tthe goal of the Canadian 4-H\ttbe I°ss 50 occurs where of shrubs can reduce summer\tit is an older home there may\tlater that evening the\tCouncil, which is to help\tthe bale touches the ground, air-conditioning costs by up to\tbe creeping sedum.This\tdelegates were the guests of\tCanadian rural youth develop\t80 this aspect is very 20% or more: A large, well\tdesign usually strives for too\tThe Royal Bank at a dinner\tinto responsible and successful\timportant.Most bales in the placed shade tree can lower much all at once.\theld in their honour.\tmembers of society.\tstudies lost 25% by weight or were left with 75% -
