Page 10 April 4, 1974 Let's put nuclear plant away from Huron County ArtiNr wirnuittu uglier 41,\\Vsvi." Alito CLIFF RUSSELL ESSO AGENT RR 3 Dashwood 238-2481 13y ADRIAN vos This planned nuclear generating station south of Goderich bothers me, It will sit right at the edge of some of the finest agricultural land in all of Canada. When we see what is happening around the Douglas Point station we know pretty well what will happen in Huron county. Schools for the children of the builders have to be erected, only to be useless right after the plant is built. The same with housing and the necessary streets and sewage and water facilities. Sure, Hydro will contribute some to the cost of this, but a good deal will still have to come out of our taxes. Transmission lines will tbke more of this fine farmland, for there's no other land to go through. And the accompanying READY FOR A RABIES SHOT — A Perth County rabies clinic was.held at the Kirkton Veterinary clinic Mon- day. Above, Dr. Norm Amos prepares to shoot one of two dogs held by Mr. and Mrs. Sam Skinner. wrangles over compensation, with hydro-people playing neigh- bour against neighbour, causing disruption in Sur $ocia1 life that can't be measured, another factor that will be shrugged off by those who have only learned to think in terms of money. Who will come to help harvest our crops when workers at the hydro plant are being paid Toronto wages? Some farmers in the vicinity will leave their farms for secure wages at the plant and area farmers won't be able to lease the land from them because they can't afford to pay the wages. There must be a place to put the d. „ . thing where it will cause less disruptiori. Why not put it in Sarnia. Their mayor is always hollering for more and the lines can be led along his new 4- lane highway or maybe even underground through the oilpipeline he so desperately wants, The oil could be a cooling agent. Or in more northern parts of the province where it can be build on the rocks. It costs more initial outlay but who can say what the ultimate cost will be in higher food cost for everyone. Another thing that bugs me is their arrogance. There will most likely be hearings and when they are all over the minister 'will say that it was good that everyone had a chance to express their opinions, but it was already decided five years ago that the plant will be where it is going. In the last three years an area as large as Huron county was buried under concrete and now they are starting on Huron county itself. If I'm well informed Huron was designated as farming country. Politicians seem to think this means to have a free hand with the land. Vos replaces McGregor Hog directors re-elected Five of the seven directors who recently resigned from the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board were returned to office at the annual meeting held recently in Toronto. Adrian Vos of Blyth was named as director replacing James McGregor of Kippen, McGregor was one of the directors who quit after an attempt to fire executive secretary James Boynton failed, The Kippen area farmer had made his intentions of quitting known before the mass resignations took place. The other vacancy created by the resignation of vice-chairman Carl Clayton of Napanee was filled by Douglas Farrell„4 of Mad oc. Mr. Farrell defeated -Don Kotchapaw, Eastern Ontario dairy beef and hog producer, in a secret ballot. Mr. McGregor's seat on the board was won by Adrian Vos of Blyth. All other incumbents were re-elected. Mr. Clay ton told c mitteemen to remove his name from the nominations and to support Mr. Farrell, He said circumstances made it im- possible for him to return to the board. Speaking to delegates at the opening day of the two-day Federal Agricultural Minister Eugene Whelan made a plea for co-operation leading to a national marketing agency for the pork industry. He told the Ontario Pork Producers Marketing Board annual meeting they face two challenges for survival. One is the emerging off-shore export market and the other the need to co-operate provincially. Mr. Whelan pointed to the difficulties which could develop if some provinces try to go it alone in stabilizing their own pork in- dustries. "I think programs are a good thing. But they can produce some very bad results if they are purely local or regional," "For example if Manitoba and Saskatchewan start to pourmany more millions of dollars into their price stabilization programs, pork producers in thdse provinces would gain an artificial competitive edge over pork producers in other areas of Canada." Mr. Whelan said if those two Fertilizer short for five years The world-wide shortage of fertilizer will continue for at least the next five years and possibly forever, the president of the Canadian Fertilizer Institute said jPg',Pronto last, week. • -; R,,W. Neal of Willowdale said the implications of the shortage "are frightening". "-We are just beginning to realize that the whole concept of a bounteous food supply has suddenly been called into question." Speaking to about 200 delegates to a National Fertilizer Con- ference, Mr. Neal said major droughts in 1972 started the spiral of commodity and food shortages and skyrocketing prices. "While it is unlikely that we (Canadians) will starve, millions of others will." Spokesman for the 75 fertilizer companies in Canada, Mr. Neal said latest reports show no fewer than 14 countries with food shortages and 14 others that face a danger of poor harvest. And he was not optimistic that improved technology and better fertilizers will solve the problem. "There have been ominous reports of changes in the world's Oeather, indicating that a 50-year balmy spell has come to an end." Mr. Neal said total world consumption of fertilizer, was about 72 million metric tons in 1971-72. Forecasts of world fer- tilizer consumption in 1975, 1980 and 1985 indicate requirements of 94.1, 123.6 and 155.4 million tons respeCtively. provinces developed huge short- term markets and then lost them a few years later it would hurt producers right across ther country. He said he favors a national agency and is willing o provide federal funds for a national price or income stabilization program. "One of the ideas that has been put forward by pork producers in some parts of Canada is the creation of a national income stabilization program. The basic idea would be to set aside a certain percentage of income during the good years and draw from that fund during years when total income falls below a certain point." He said bOth federal and provincial governments could contribute with producers paying into the fund during years when profits were up. "An income stabilization fund is a bit different from a price stabilization program," the federal minister said. He said the income fund "would be more likely to pay out money to farmers when they need it not just when prices fall below a certain point." List sales of winter wheat Sales of Ontario winter wheat by producers since July 1973 to March 1, 1974 total 11,760,800 bushels which has been pur- chased by the Ontario Wheat Board. , ,Total 1973 production is estimated at 14,800,000 bushels. Resale by the marketing board includes the following: 6,598,575 bushels to domestic flour millers; 323,000 to domestic seed dealers; 775 bushels to domestic feed dealers; and 1,574,200 bushels for export. Present Ontario Wheat Board inventory totals approximately 3,260,000 bushels.
