Last Sunday, the roles were reversed, as Debbie took the Angus Junior Showmanship Championship, with Debbie winn­ ing the Senior Reserve Champion­ ship with her Angus calf. McQuail questions need for Hydro lines Lucknow area farmer Tony McQuail told a provincial hearing in Guelph last week that farmers and landowners are not convinced that Ontario Hydro’s plan to string more hydro lines across prime farmland is needed, and suggested that the huge corporation should perhaps be more concerned with pushing for power conservation and with developing alternate forms of energy. “We’re not against progress, (but) we object to being forced to take the unwanted elements of society,” he said, adding that Hydro’sproposal,known as Sy­ stem Plan 7, should only be approved following an indepen­ dent evaluation by a joint Canada- U.S. power co-ordinating council, and only after certain safeguards are put in place to protect farmers. Asaspokesmanforthe 1,200- member Foodland Hydro Commit­ tee in Huron, Bruce and Middlesex counties, Mr. McQuail is concern­ ed about the likelihood that the proposed lines will cross prime farmland between the Bruce Nu­ clear Power Development and the London area. He has been repre­ senting the rural landowners group from the start of the hearings nearly a year ago, last week in its 124th day of presentations. He says the issue of location for the power lines is a sore point with his members, particularly with farmers who feel they are being forced to make unwanted sacrifices Advertising is a guide to fashion. Tomorrow (Thuisaay) Debbie will represent Huron County in the Ontario-wide 4-H Junior Show­ manship competition and on Friday, will show her crossbred 4-H calf in the Queen’s Guineas competition, the most prestigious 4-H beef show in Canada. In 1985, Kim Rintoul won the Queen’s Guineas award, and was later named Ontario Charolais Princess. for wasteful Ontario power con sumers. The Bruce-to-London link is part of a $427-million system plan preferred by Ontario Hydro to move electricity from the Bruce facility to southwestern Ontario, which Hydro argues is necessary to strengthen the provincial power grid. The plan calls for lines from the Bruce to a new London area transformer station in Caradoc Township, as well as a Bruce-to- Barrie link across the Niagara Escarpment, and includes a line to connect the London station with the Hydro’s existing generating station at Nanticoke on Lake Erie. While admitting that the Es­ carpment route is the best proposal outside of “no lines’’, he told the hearing that Hydro could avoid further detrimental agricultural impact in Elgin and Oxford counties by re-building its existing 230,000-volt line already in place in the region. He said that the impact of lines on prime foodland, includ­ ing some of the best in Canada, is “too important to ignore.” Under questioning by Robert Eisen, a Toronto lawyer who heads the three-member hearing board, Mr. McQuail conceded that some lines may be necessary, but that the impact on farmland must be kept to a minimum.

In4-HDairy competition, Ar­ thur Bos of RR 3, Blyth was selectedfor the final heat of the junior showmanship competition atthe nation-wide Hays Classic show at the Royal on Sunday evening, while Craig McNeil, of RR 6, Goderich, made it to the final heat of the senior conformation competition. Competing with the best 4-H calves from all across Canada, including representatives from 39 Ontario counties, getting into the final is no small achieve­ ment at this level. Arthur is a member of the Hallrice 4-H Dairy Calf Club, while Craig is the president of the Huron County Senior 4-H Dairy Manage­ ment Club In horses, Aubrey Toll and son Vaughn both of RR 3. Blyth. showed Clydesdale fillies early in the week, with Vaughn taking his yearling filly to a fourth place showing, and Aubrey taking an eighth with his two-year-old, which later sold to George Smith of Carberry, Manitoba, who was at the Royal with the Manitoba exhibit of livestock. Showing together, Aubrey and Vaughn Toll later placed sixth with both fillies in the Progeny of Dam class. As well, a two-year-old filly which Aubrey sold to Michigan last summer, placed third in the same class as Aubrey’s filly.
