speech Mr Auld reviewed what has happened In Ontario during the last three decades under a Progressive Conservative government and traced the dramatic changes the government is experiencing today The challenge of providing adequate schooling facilities for postwar baby boom made a tremendous drain In our financial resources he said Today as Progressive Conservatives can look upon this challenge with the full knowledge that we arc equal to the task and retained the courage to do what had to be done in spite of our many critics Unity touchy He added that during the latter part of the 1960s was the difficult and touchy question of national unity At this same time though our party accepted its role as a custodian of history with an appreciation of the lessons learned from experience We believe a nation should rememher Its past learn from it and use its lessons in building the he stressed believe that because of the Progressive Conservative appreciation for the past we have developed more vigorously and more consciously programs and policies to preserve our heritage than would the other political parties He also drew attention to the description of a state by Edmund Burke as a union of the dead the living and those yet unborn extremes We have survived as a nation and a province for more than 100 years because our people have sought their political leadership not from

satisfactorily employed outnumber those who are unemployed or still at school by to The conclusion came from a comprehensive survey of and graduates of the college Comments are based on replies from questionnaires sent out by the registrars office Of the 180 graduates who replied 133 were employed in a satisfactory occupation 18 In an unsatisfactory one Six were seeking employment and IB who were not employed were not seeking employment What were they doing Studying at another postsecondary institution or at teachers college or travelling according to survey Fiftyfour and a half per cent of graduates received salaries In line with what they expected per cent were pleasantly surprised and received mora and per cent earned less than they hod anticipated Almost per cent of respondents felt their tune at Sheridan College was well Hon John P Roberts Prime Minister of Ontario Toronto Ont Dear Mr I notice in a recent newspaper article that the Hon Donald Jamieson Minister of Transport wishes to freeze many thousands of acres of Ontario farmland It Is bad enough to have your land expropriated but If a government agency freezes such huge tracts of land the hardships placed upon the many land owners are much worse than expropriation I will try to set out below a fen of the problems Involved There Is a very large number of farmers at the stage of life when they wish to sell their farms and retire If a prospective purchaser knew the government was the expropriation of their land- for an airport they certainly would not buy it The proposed public hearings after the land freeze I feel are merely a delaying tactic which will take some years and probably at the best a public decision will not be made on this matter until after the next federal election If I am not mistaken the Minister not too long ago promised a decision on the location of the airport by early fall of this date Is already past In the meantime farmers in these areas who wish to continue farming and make necessary Improvements and capital expenditures will be placed In the uncertain position of not knowing whether they can ever recover these in vestments Whether you wish to continue farming or whether you wish to sell the result is that you are unable to operate in a sensible businesslike manner When the final airport location is determined the people whose farms are expropriated will then have to go through the usual procedure of being offered relatively poor settlements and because of a lengthy land freeze there will not be any recent comparable sales of land to reflect current market values Government agents will evaluate these properties In say or on sales that are at least five years old Unless a person immediately accepts the government offer it would probably be another three or four years before any final settlement could be forced upon the government By that time with the federal Governments complete inability to control wages and inflation we will find that the purchasing power of our final settlement dollars will probably be about half of their presentday value In the meantime those of us who wish to remain farming will have been denied the right through lack of funds to resettle on anything like a comparable farm Many of those who wish to retire will probably be in their graves The pretext that the federal Government is trying to reduce speculation is absolute nonsense because no businessman especially a speculator would knowingly tie up his money in land that is going to be expropriated The cost of money today per cent at the bank and more elsewhere combined with length- of time involved and only one buyer makes this a shaky proposition No speculator is that crazy The federal Government has spent thousands of dollars over the past few years on reports commissioned from private companies plus their own staff reports trying to establish the most suitable location for an airport in the Toronto area With all this time and effort if the best location is not already known I feel it shows a complete lack of competence not only In the Minister of Transport but also his staff and the consulting firms that he has used Besides having to pay my share of this cost of in vestigation through taxation am again asked to bear a heavy burden in the freezing of my lands I understand that my farm Is located on one of the possible airport sites in Halton County a major portion of Township I believe a second proposed site Is in Township I am not aware of the locations of the other proposed sites As Prime Minister of Ontario I believe it is your duty to safeguard to the best of your ability the rights of the citizens of Ontario and I trust you will do so Yours truly 3 Georgetown For a Planned Futurel REELECT BILL COATS COUNCILLOR Town of
