Presenting briefs from Huron were Adrian Vos for the Huron Power Plant committee and Phil Wrestlers in tourney action This week the South Huron High School wrestling finished third in an eight team invitation tourney at Goderich and broke even in a tri-meet, Monday. In Goderich, Marc Gelinas, Paul Kristoferson, Paul Reaburn and Mike Westelaken emerged as champions in their individual weight divisions. Perry Sereda and Vince Winters placed second and Steve Jennison was third. Finishing in fourth spot were Don Van Raay, Bill Baker and Rick Bilcke. Paul Reaburn was voted the best wrestler of the week, Bill Baker -was named the most im- proved and Paul Kristoferson managed the fastest pin in only 20 seconds. In Monday's tri-meet, South Huron blasted St, Thomas Parkside by a score of 78-10 and lost a close 39-38 decision to Chatham McGregor. Dart lead decreasing Durand on behalf of the Ontario Bean Producers Marketing Board. Both presentations pointed out objections on the same subject establishment of an electric power generating plant in Huron County. Part of the brief presented by Phil Durand for the bean growers follows: "The counties of Huron, Middlesex, Perth and Lambton which represent 85 percent of white bean production would be directly affected by air pollution, North west winds are the prevailing winds and 85 percent of the 1973 crop could represent a gross sales value of over 40 million dollars." "Beans are highly susceptible to air pollution. The devastating effects of ozone damage on beans in Kent around 1968 reduced production to a very minor amount. Prior to thisKentwas the leading producer of white beans. Now it is fifth." "In addition to the influx of people that such a power plant would generate past experience 'has shown that the supply of farm labour would be further jeopardized," "From the existing power plant in a nearby area it seems that a five mile radius has been established prohibiting everything except farming. "It seems difficult to com- prehend that the wise use of prime farm land has been relegated to such a position and that farmers in this relationship seemed to be considered dispensible." The brief presented by Adrian Vos and Allan Wainer for the Huron Power Plant Committee made the same points on pollution damage and added others. "A further detrimental effect on food production are the transmission corridors necessary to transport the produced elec- tricity to where it is needed. At some of the proposed alternatives this could run to corridors of twelve hundred feet wide, In Huron County there is no other way to go with those corridors than over prime agricultural land. We will not go further into the effects on agricultural production of power corridors as this has ex- tensively been documented before by the Bruce-Huron Negotiating Committee" and by the Concerned Farmers of the United Townships -. The detrimental effect of the plant construction on the availability of farm labour and on labour for other industries and for municipalities has been shown in the "Dillon Report" that was prepared for Ontario Hydro in the Bruce area. Some farm land is reported to be idle because farmers aban- doned the farm in order to work at the construction of the power plant. Other farmers are unable to take up the slack for lack of available farm labour. The cost to the farmer then increases in nearly all areas. How much this will affect the cost of food is very difficult to calculate, That it will affect food costs is without a doubt. The long range effects of the plant are also difficult to predict, but one doesn't need a great, deal of study to see that after the peak em- ployment period the services provided for the construction work force will have to be paid for. This will take the form of higher taxes for those remaining in the area, or the attraction of industry to the area to take up the slack in employment. Needless to say that new industry will need more lend to build on, thereby decreasing food production even more, We think that almost everyone agrees that the next generation, and possible the present generation will need all the food that can be grown in this world. The farmer is an expert on soils. Mohawks in first place The Exeter Mohawks broke even in two South Huron Inter- mediate hockey league games this week but continue to hold down first place in the league standings. Thursday, the Mohawks, scored a 7-3 victory over Cen- tralia College and Monday night at the Exeter arena they suffered a 5-3 loss to Jura, The Zurich Flyers will be in Exeter Monday night to meet the Mohawks in a 9 p.m. starting contest. Al Rimmer scored three times to pace the Mohawk win over Centralia. Scoring in single fashion were Jim Pfaff, Jack Glover, Brad Datars and Gary Parsons. The goal getters for the College were Craig Schwindt, Dennis Whiteside and Charlie Bauman, In the loss to Jura Al Rimmer was again the leading scorer with a pair of goals while Jack Glover, Brad Datars and Murray Glanville added singles. By ADRIAN VOS We often hear people talk, in connection of food shortages in India that we shouldn't help them until they take care of their useless holy cows and of limiting their large families. Before we pass judgement we should take a look at our own holy cows first. We don't have any? Oh yes, we do, How many of us who are not from European extraction will , eat eels or how many from any background will eat snakes? Not many, but it is an excellent source of protein and very tasty. How many of us would eat dog meat. It is an excellent food, but we prefer to keep them as pets and when we are tired of them we send them to the humane society for destruction, Is there any difference with India's holy cows? After this we compare family planning. In their eyes, religious objections to birth con- trol may be completely silly. Let's go back to somewhat less than a century in our own coun- try and we see that the earlier people were in the same position that many of the, in our eyes, backward people, are now. When there is no old age security and no eventide home for the elderly, what must one do? There must be enough children to take care of them, for they are in fact the old age pension of the parents. So in order not to starve when one gets old, a large family is a necessity. Most times it has to be large because of the high death rate among the very young. Old age security is a must before parents can begin limiting their families, and this social security can only be achieved when a country is wealthy enough to pay for it. At the Farmers Week in Walkerton last week, Eric Winkler of the Ontario cabinet, conceded that, in order to help pay for the cost incurred by the Bruce Nuclear Development, the county would have to attract more secondary industry after the peak period for employment in the construction passes. It appears that Bruce county is now in a vicious circle of more industry more cost and yet more Midgets win over Huron Park In a free scoring Shamrock minor league game this week Exeter scored a 13-7 victory over Huron Park. The Huron Park team came bouncing back from a 7-1 deficit at the end of the second period to score a half dozen goals in the final 20 minutes of play to make the game a little more in- teresting. John Van Gerwen and Ken Pinder each turned in hat trick performances to head up the Exeter scoring attack. Jim Webb was next in line with two successful shots while single goals were notched by Paul Shapton, Doug Osgood, Paul Brooks, Doug Regier and Brian Clarke, Brian Lather kept pace with a three goal effort for the Huron Park youngsters. Jim Moffatt registered two scores and singles were added by Perry Knee and Randy Somerville. Minor 'Br's lose In Shamrock minor league "B" games at the Exeter arena, Sunday, Belmont blanked the Ex- eter atoms 2-0 and Dorchester downed Exeter 8-2 in a pee wee contest. Pete Tuckey was the marksman on both Exeter pee wee scores. He fired the first on an unassisted effort and the se- cond on passes from Greg Dougall and John Stephens. industry.Before long they wall be- Toronto, all in the name of what paying taxes. comparable to -some call "progress".
