Municipal sewage system
suggested for Brussels
SliffILBY KELLFR
Reeve for the village of Brussels, Jack
McCutcheon, asked Acting Medical Officer
of Health Dr. Frank Mills and sanitation
inspector Bill Empy during Friday's
sitting of Huron County Council to explain
how his municipality was permitted to get
into the predicament in which it finds itself
today.
Reeve McCutcheon was referring to the
fact that the village of Brussels has been
singled out as one community along the
Maitland ,River which is believed to be
seriously contributing to the pollution of
that stream.
"How come we've been allowed to get in
this condition?" asked McCutcheon. "Have
we not had a health unit in this county for
years?"
McCutcheon suggested that had the
Huron County Health unit insisted upon the
cleanup of problems as they arose in the
village of Brussels, there would not be such a
tremendous problem to be faced now. He
indicated there were people in Brussels who
had totally adequate sewage systems and
would probably now be forced to suffer
financially along with those villages whose
septic systems have not been up to standard.
A municipal sewage treatment system has
been suggested for Brussels, McCutcheon
said. He asked Dr. Mills if the Huron County
Health Unit could offer no other solution,
Dr. Mills told council and Reeve
McCutcheon that counts taken in the
Maitland River above Brussels, at Brussels
and below Brussels showed pollution was
entering the stream at Brussels, lie said the
Huron County Health Unit would co-operate
in every way possible to see an alternative
solution but he indicated there may be no
permanent solution where houses have built
on lots of insufficient size to accommodate
an adequate sewage tile bed,
"It may be cheaper to move Brussels to
the Clinton air base where there is a sewage
system," quipped Warden lack Alexander,
The discussion concerning Brussels arose
while Dr. Mills was giving a rundown on the
condition of the Maitland River as seen by
the Huron County Health Unit, Dr. Mills
told council emphatically that what might
appear to the casual observer as human
waste or some type of excreta, is nothing
more than dying algae,
The algae, said Dr. Mills, is growing as a
result of the tremendous amount of nutrient
that is entering the river from outside the
county. He said the fact that the river is as
clean as it is now is because "nature is able
to cleanse a lot in its own water".
"Nutrients are a universal problem,"
states Dr. Mills. He told about a trip into
Ontario's northland and finding algae
growing on the streams and rivers even
though there were no people around to
pollute them. It was the result of nutrients
dropping out of the air from the industrial
areas of the north into the streams, the
doctor reasoned.
Dr. Mills referred to legislation which is
pending to clean such nutrients out of
treated sewage and indicated this was the
future hope to clean up the algae problem.
Officials discuss new
transmission lines
Township and county officials in
Bruce and Huron counties met 'recently
night in Wingham Legion Hall with Ontario
Hydro representatives to discuss proposed
routes for transmission lines needed to carry
power from the site of the new Bruce
nuclear power development A into the
provincial power grid and to provide
additional service needed in the Seaforth
area.
A Hydro representative said, "the
rights-of-way proposed to the wardens,
reeves, planning board chairmen and other
municipal representatives are essential to
meet the growing needs of southern and
southwestern Ontario."
Rights-of-way of varying widths and
lengths will link up with a 500,000-volt
network now being expanded across
southern Ontario.
First section of the new line will run in a
southeasterly direction 16 miles from the
Bruce site to Bradley Junction. The
right-of-way needed is 1.255 ,et in width.
The line then turns south to Wingham, a
distance of about 27 miles. It will link up
with a new transformer station to be built
east of Wingham and the right-of-way
needed will be 610 feet wide.
Third section, 25 miles long, to carry a
single tower line, will extend from the
Wingham transformer station to Hydro's
existing Seaforth transformer station. It will
be 120 feet wide and will provide additional
power for this area.
The purpose of the meeting, the Hydro
representative said, was to familiarize
township and county officials with the
overall plan. In the near future discussions in
greater detail will be held with the individual
townships to obtain their approval in
principle for routes through their respective
municipalities.
The new Bruce station is to generate
3,200,000 kilowatts from four nuclear units.
First power is expected in 1975 with
completion expected in 1979.

Danger signals indicate canned food spoilage
Again this year, winter shows
the earth wearing a blanket of
snow, and women donning the
maxi, throwing aside the
freedom-finder mini in favour of
more protection from the icy
blasts of winter.
But, along with the mini,
they may also be throwing aside
their safety status, Today's
women iust aren't used to the
longer lengths. It's not like ages
past, when the maxi was a way
of life to a girl who was skilled
in the art of maneuvering the
long skirts without mishap,
The Ontario Safety League
does not for one moment
suggest that the maxi should be
abandoned, but rather, that
women should take a cram
course on how to protect
themselves when wearing the
longer lengths.
Falls present the greatest
danger. When getting on or oft a
bus, make sure your heel does
not eatch in your hem and send
you for a spill. When walking
down stairs, your downfall may
not only be caused by your own
heel catching, but you may also
be thrown off balance by the
person behind stepping on your
trailing hem.
Be careful of doors. They
may close on your coat or dress,
Be especially mindful when
exiting from an automobile —
you could be taken for an
unexpected ride.
And beware when behind the
wheel, especially of a compact
or sports car. The gearshift and
other controls offer excellent
snags for the longer hem.
In almost every instance, the
preventative medicine is the
same µbe constantly mindful of
the increased yardage; lift your
maxi over and away from these
ever present hazards.

A "springer" is 4 can that
bulges Or swells at one or both
ends, Pressure inside the can,
usually from hydrogen gas,
forces the ends out. Pressure
continues to build until the pan
eventually explodes,
Ends of eons should be flat or
curved slightly inward. A hard
swollen end indicates that
something is wrong. The food
may not necessarily be harmful.
A swell could be caused by
overfilling or freezing the liquid
inside. But it can also be caused
by food spoilage bacteria.
Underprocessing, a break in the
seal along the seam, or a dent
allow bacteria to grow or enter.
If you have a swollen can,
don't open it or taste the
