The first meeting was held there on Wednesday evening. At this meeting, E.J. Newman, P. Eng., was the speaker. His topic was pollution and how it may affect the farâ€" ,mer. Mr. Newman is with the Air Management Branch of the Ministry of Environment. He said that air pollution and control is the problem that concerns the department. It is dividedinto two main areas, the first is the abatement section whose men work with industry in an attempt to find the answer to their particular problems. ~ The other section is the ap- proval people. Their aspect is to look at proposed new plants and to proposed changes in existing plants to see if they satisfy government regulations and to see if such money will be wisely spent. Mr. Newman emphasized there is no charge for the ser- vices.' It is a cooperative arrangement. ' , . , g 1 He pointed out that in. the United States, where the legal system is different, the ap- proach is different. “In Canada, we work with Industry,” he said, ”and we do have a problem of pollution.” The department came into existence in 1967 because the municipalities could not enforce the regulations they had on their books. They needed the advice from experts but could not af- BAY OF QUINTE WI R. Stickle, secretary Treasurer, Mrs. P. Jordan, President, Mrs. R. Campney, Public Relations. Mrs. F. Hamilton, Seond Vice. Mrs. ford to hire them. There was another problem, said Mr. Newman and that was the unequal way in which the controls were enforced. If two towns had different standards of enforcement this created an unfair hardship on the industry of one town and in turn on the people of that community. “We should remember that pollution does affect our health and it is not necessarily the black smoke from the factory stack that is the offender. It is the unseen fumes that are emitted, the result of chemical reactionSuAnd it, is. for these gases t-tha't we of the Air Management Branch, are searching,” he said. Mr. Newman gave a Simple example of an apple pie baked in the family oven. “Have you ever weighed that pie after it comes out of the oven? If you did you would find it has lost weight. That weight is in the kitchen in the form of water vapor, fumes etc. and this is what happens in factories,” he said. . ‘ 'Mr. Newman told his audience 1 'V “You can do what you like on your own property, but what effect does your action have on your neighbor? Will it dirty the neighbors clean washing, or interfere with the barbeque? Adn the farmer on the way to his field, does he cause an in- convenience to house owners on the way, does he despoil part of the land by dropping some of the product he carries. Really this “I expect to pass'thro'ugh thisuworld but once.

He will have to learn that he can do only one or the other. He must either farm or speculate. He must choose.” SPEAKER E.J.
