Membership in committee
continues to increase
The membership of the Foodland-Hydro
organization continues to swell as canvas-
sers criss cross. the .muncipalities of
Middlesex, Huron and • Bruce counties.
Landowners' indignation continues to rise,
as they contemplate their rich soil could be
wasted to support a hydro line, when a
viable alternative route is available where
less productive land would be 'used.
'The interest accumulating on donations
made to Foodland-Hydro is paying for the
meagre expenses of the organization to
date. No major expenses are foreseen in
' 'the immediate future, and the bulk of the
money collected will be available for
professional expertise at a later date.
The early spring sunshine has brought a
surge of activity in our agricultural com-
munities, but volunteers continue to
donate time and effort to ensure, that an
effective voice will be heard on behalf of
the Foodland-Hydro members.
Earl Cherniak, Q.C., and the Legal
liaison and Strategy Committee have the
critical task of selecting expert witnesses,
and considerable work is being performed
in this area now.
The members of the promotional and
information committee have been delving
into the vast and specialized world of the
media. With the co-operation of .both
electronic and print media, we have spread
the aims of Foodland-Hydro, particularly in
the daily and weekly newspapers. C. B, C.'s
Radio Noon, with Roy Maxwell, aired a
telephone interview with 'Gerald Rose
regarding the impact of a hydro corridor on
agricultural practices. C. K. N. X. ,radio in
Wingham broadcast an interview with
ibodland-Hydrn's first vice-chairman, Ken,
McGregor on May 9.
C. F. P.L television will be airing an
"Inquiry program on the hydro line issue
May 26, with Tony McQuail and Ken
McGregor representing Foodland-Hydro.
Foodland-Hydro actively canvassed the
local political candidates in the recent
Provincial election. Indeed, the proposed
hydro corridor (M1) from Bruce To London
was a definite political issuein this area.
We continue' to maintain political pressure
, . on ourelected representatives, and we
urge all concerned people to do the same.
Statements recently issued by the Public
Utilities Commissions have gained media
attention. A communique circulated by the
Windsor P.U.C. requested endorsement of
a resolution by area municipal P.U.C.'s
that "there will be no further delay in
providing for electrical transmission line
routes out of the Bruce Nuclear Power
Development". Foodiand-Hydro has made
clear they have not delayed construction of
a transmission line. The delay was caused
by those along the M3 route who were
successful in having the decision of the
Consolidated Hearings Board quashed in
the Ontario Supreme Court. Because of
this action, transmission line 'routes have
again been proposed through the produc-
tive lands of Bruce, Huron and Middlesex
counties.
A presentation by the committee was
made recently td the City of London council
which was considering the previously
mentioned Windsor P.U.C. resolution. The
council ultimately amended the resolution
with words to the effect "that prime land
be avoided where feasible."
There was a general meeting of
Foodland-Hyrdo executive' and delegates
on May 16, and a report will be forthcom-
ing.
