The Rural Voice, 1977-11, Page 18more meetings, let us know where the line
is going to go."
Mr. Patriquin said he didn't have the
answer but he got an agreement from the
councils in Greenock and Brant to meet and
discuss the problems evolving from the
5,000,000 volt line being built from Bradley
to Milton. "Our concern now is with this
line, not future lines," he said.
That remark annoyed Houston who
replied that "This is exactly what bothers
property owners. They find out where the
lines are going after the line routes are
approved and they're already caught up in
it," he said.
At present a 188 -foot right of way
slashes through several farms in Brant and
Greenock.

Farmers won't
be pressed,
O.F.A. spokesman says
Lending institutions will not put the
squeeze on farmers caught short of money
by crop failures caused by horrible late
summer and fall weather according to the
Ontario Federation of Agriculture.
Frank Wall, an O.F.A. director for
Norfolk county speaking to the Middlesex
county meeting of the O.F.A. at Ailsa
Craig said his organization had interceded
with the Toronto -Dominion Bank, The
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. The
Royal Bank, the Bank of Montreal and the
Bank of Nova Scotia and had been given
the promise that the banks would be
understanding of the farmers' plight. The
same assurance has been given by the
federal government's Farm Credit Corp.
Farm equipment manufacturers and
dealers have indicated they have sympathy
and will try to be lenient with loan
repayments, said Jack Hale. O.F.A.
general manager.
Wingham moving
to remedy lack
of interest
An apparent lack of interest on the part
of the town of Wingham toward the 1978
International Plowing Match just a couple
of miles east of the town may be remedied
by the town council.
Members of the organizing committee
for the match were to be invited to meet
with town council after Wingham town
councillor Allan Harriston told the October
meeting of council he is interested in
seeing the town get behind the event and
promote it. He said he had visited the site
of the 1977 match near Kingston and spent
a lot of time in the Huron county booth and
found Wingham was one of the few towns
and villages in the county not represented
in the exhibit. People there, he said,
expressed concern that with the 1978
match so close to Wingham, the town
seemed to have little interest in taking
part.
The councillor felt the town must get
more involved, perhaps not to the extend of
Kingston which footed the bill for a $12,000
banquet but at least with banners and
window displays and helping promote the
event which is expected to bring large
amounts of money to the local economy.
