Hai7e you heard the one

(Continued from. Page 1)
recommends that the 'agricul-
tural heartland" of the province,
namely the top producing
counties of Southwestern Ontario,
be preserved intact if at all
possible.
"It would . be advisable on
agricultural grounds to keep
major energy developments off
the 'agricultural heartland',
especially those involving thermal
plants or massive investment,"
he states.
"Because of the environmen-
tal in ovement, social pressurs
have tended to push transmission
lines on to farmland. In the
high-machinery areas this creates
special locational and adjustment
problems."
While the location of nuclear
stations (such as Nanticoke)
generally can be compatible with
agriculture in Prof. Pearson's
opinion, the same is not true of
thermal stations.
"Thermal stations burning oil
or coal present distinct problems
in all areas and particularly in
Southwestern Ontario, where
westerly locations combined with
the air pollution effects of U:S.
stations in the lower Great Lakes
can adversely effect specialty
crop areas which have already
had to adjtist to such conditions.
"However when one balances
this (need for corridors) with the
air pollution problem, perhaps we
can deal with transmission
lines."
According to Prof. Pearson,.the
problems posed by .locating
generating stations in farmland
areas are not so much related to
safety as to the "strong socio-
economic impacts" they create.
"I wouldn't hesitate to live next
door to a nuclear power station.
However this fear of the unknown
is difficult to deal with."
Prof. Pearson said in Sweden
he saw • a town built around a
power station "and it made sense
to me,'.such planning utilizes the
"proximity of the power to the
load centre, the heating capacity
of the station, the accompanying
industrial park and the road
system."
"It's time we stopped depart-
mentalized planning," Prof.
Pearson Noted. "I see agriculture
in retreat in municipal planning
and it concerns me ... and
municipal planning has no co-
ordination with energy
planning."
While power stations can be
built to serve the neeas or urban
centres Prof. Pearson said there is
no doubt but what sites like the
Bruce station have a disruptive
effect on rural areas.
"The development of a station
like Bruce is equivalent to
dropping the development of 10
to 12 townships in one area in one
or two years — it's phenomenal
for a small community to absorb.
The economic impact is
tremendous, especially on wages
and services. The Public Service
are good employers, they pay
good wages. It's a big job for an
agricultural community to service
this kind of development ...Mind
you there are benefits; they are
very real and very evident, such
as the direct and indirect effects
of the massive investment
involved which includes improved
shopping facilities, road systems
and retailing. The rate of change
is a key factor."
Prof. Pearson said it is
somewhat unfortunate that the
development of the Bruce station
just happened to coincide with
major changes in agriculture thus
increasing the problems involved.
' Our affluence and resulting
need for more energy arrived at
the Same time as the specializk
tion of farmland, the great Shift
for example to large areas of corn
growing arid the shift to dairy
farming. The speCialization WAS
in areas where a great deal of
machinery is needed."
An added pressure on prime
farmland, said Prof. Pearson, is
the fact that at the same time
urban centres are pushing
transmission lines on to agricul-
tural areas, they are also pushing
housing on areas within a two-
hour drive of major cities, on to
prime farmland areas.
This point was also made by
Mr. Van Donkersgoed who said
that in 1975 "close t o one-quar-
ter of all new housing construc-
tion was in rural areas."
As for the future of farming in
general in Ontario, Prof. Pearson
said he was optimistic in that
"the rural planning sector is
developing very quickly."
However, he said, if the province
continues with its "cheap food
policy and not supporting
excellence in farming in general,
we could find some excellent
farms struggling to survive and
this concerns me."
One of the major concerns
raised by farmers during the
question period was the possible
effects of working and living
under high power transmission
lines.
Leonard and Teressa Manion `of
the Palmerston area said they
were concerned about the 250 kv
power lines across their farm.
"We'd like to know more about it;
we're scared of it," Mrs. Manion
said.
She asked members of the
Royal Commission if they were
making any attempt to get copies
of studies done on the effects of
transmission lines on humans in
Russia and if so, could the copies
be sent to their family doctor.
"We will get all the evidence
we can," replied Dr. Porter.
"We've heard of them (the
Russian studies) and we already
have some of them as well as
some from Syracuse University."
Dr. Porter said the commission
would gladly forward whatever
information it has to the Manion's
doctor. However, he cautioned,
that the matter of transmission
Mae effect on humans was one
causing controversy among the
scientists themselves.
"But it is obvious to the
Commission that there is a
problem here, people are
concerned about it and we are
trying to find out as much about it
as possible."
• Mrs. Manion also wondered 81
there were any studies op the
effects of the lines on women and
children. "Anything I've heard
has been about hydro linemen."
The Food Land Steering
Committee, an ad hoc committee
formed from a number .of farm
groups in order to combine
resources in dealing with the
Royal Commission, was represen-
ted by. Lloyd Moore of Listowel,
chairman; and by Elbert Van
Donkersgoed of Drayton, secre-
tary-treasurer. Mr. Moore is an
organizer of the. Concerned
Farmers of the United Townships
and Mr. Van Donkersgoed is on
the executive of the 'Christian
Farmers Federation of Ontario.
Other farm groups involved in
the Steering Committee are the
Bruce-Huron Power Negotiating
Committee, the Huron Power
Plant Committee, the National
Farmers Union, the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture and the
Ontario Institute of Agrologists.
Representatives • from these
organizations were at the hearing
as were represesntatives from
Ontario Hydro.
