It's now more than a decade since scientists es- tablished a link between' mercury poisoning and a diet of fish from waters in which inorganic forms of 'metallic mercury has been converted into toxic methyl mercury by bacterial action in mud -bottom sediment. Former Liberal Leader. Hobert Nixon. called for an emergency debate on Dow's pollution of the St. Clair waterway on April 2. 1970. citing gross mercury poison- ing of the water and the possible ruination of a $10 - million fishing industry. in- volving the livelihood of some 3.000 people. On April 6.. the Government an- nounceda fishing ban on the Canadian side of the polluted seaters. r'is;.ing was also banned in the Wabigoon River and Clay Lake in Northwestern Ontario. contaminated by - the effluent from the Dryden Chemical Company. Dryden Chemical: Dow Chemical in Thunder Bay. Canadian In- dustries in Hamilton and Cornwall. and American Can f'ompany in Marathoo were given until May 1st to eliminate mercury leakage to receiving waters: Dow-- Chernical. Sarnia. was given until April 15. • . • Five pulp ans4 paper -mills were given a similar ul- timatum: •Heaverwood Fibre. Thorold: Spruce Falls Power and Paper. Kapuskasing: Canadian .Johns -Manville. North Bay: Strathcona Paper Compaq.. Strathcona: Domtar. Cornwall. Following a meeting with Federal and Provincial Ministers on the 7th April. Dow suit halted Dow's President refused to pay compensation to those who had lost income as a result of the mercury pollu- tion irr the St. Clair water system: while agreeing to eliminate the source of the mercury and to act --8n O.W.R.(' recommendations for clean-up. with the com- pany paying costs The federal and Provin- cial Governments agreed to share. on a 50 50 basis. the cost of interest-free loans to fishermen Jhd tourist camp operators to "tide them over" until Dow's liability for compensation was es- tablished. at which time the loans were to be repaid. It was anticipated that oans to some 60 commer- cial fishermen and five resort operators would amount to less than $1.000,-/ 000 if the -fishing ban lasted a year. In the'Ontario Legislature on June 5th. 1970. the Minister of Energy .and Resources acknowledged the problematical nature of taking legal action. because of the irnportance of "foreseeability" in the area of the law of tort negligence. He acknowledged the possibility of making an oc- currence such as DoW's mercury pollution a statutory Offence. However. on March 14. 1971. the Provincial Government fit - ed a writ in the Supreme Court of Ontario against F)ow Canada and its t'.S. parent company. claiming 525.000.000 for damage to the natural environment and loss of the fishery downstream from Dow's Plant on the St (lair at Sar- nia. • The . claim included $10.- 000:000 to cover the cost of dredging or otherwise removing the mercury from the bed of the St. Clair water, system. in lieu of a court order requiring Dow Chemical to do this. A court order was also requested to prevent further mercury pollution by the Dow Plant. which according to the O.W R.C. was at that time emitting into the River between one-fifth and one- half pound of mercury a day. 11 was anticipated -that . this. the first government attempt to bring action for damage to the public in- terest. would determine many complicated legal points on environmental pollution Premier Davis. announcing the suit. based on the common law of nuisance and trespass. said it hadn't been possible "to effect a satisfactory settle- ment with Dow Chemical". Ile expressed the hope that the lawsuit would settle some legal and factual issues and "assist both in- dustry and the government - in the future resolution of these problems." No charge of polluting the St. Clair was laid because Government legal advisers had concluded the discharg- ed mercury was polluting the bed of the river rather than the water. and this was not covered by statutory law. - - -l'hecrux of Fie dilemma posed by tort law principles was that the commercial fishermen. not owning the river bed. had no fishing rights which could -have -been damaged by the mer- cury pollution. while the Province; assuming it own- ed the fishing rights. did not fish and could not claim significant damages when fishing was harmed Rather than testing the - matter in the courts. the Government could easily have passed•a statutory law making Dow and J'nv other polluter of the natural en- vironmen.t liable to damages. Now. after seven long years. the Province has dropped the lawsuit. accep- ting a payment of $150.000. which barely covers outside legal and consultant fees in the long civil battle. and .does not include salaries and expenses of the Government's own lawyers and scientists. Fishermen have received private settlements from the com- pany amounting to 8250.000. To December 16. 1977. total- costs to the govern- ment of the Dow lawsuit were 8117.238.. ,Additional costs since that date result in a total of $125.000 - Incidentally. since 1971 Dow Chemical has received grants of approximately $1 - million from the Ministry of the Environment. of which 8921.,000 has been in the form of paymentfi under the Pollution Abatement Incen- tive Act- ' liquidation Auction -Sale of the Dashwood Locker Service & Food Market (Mr. Hugh Boyle Proprietor) to be held at Wednesday, August 2, 1978, 6:3'0 P.M. at the premises on Main Street, Dashwood, Ontario Sole to consist of the complete contents of the Dashwood Locker Service & Food Markel in- cluding: EQUIPMENT: Iceman stainless steel, gloss front up- right freezer, Morquis gloss front upright cooler, Tyler 12 ft.

The book is being distributed to all physicians in the province. Emphasizing the in- creasing problem of alcoholism. the hook points out that cirrhosis of the liver is the second most rapidly increasing cause of death in adult males over 25. rising from five deaths per thousand in 1944 to 21 per 1,000 in 1975. It` is also. estimated that 300 of every 1.000 patients will be affected directly or indirectly by the disease. At the same time. the 1.A. warns doctors that the stereotyped picture of the alcoholic is changing to include women. adolescents. the elderly and people -in all socio-economic levels. The conclusion: Anyone can become an alcoholic. According 10 Dr. Jack Saunders, Director of Health and Medical Services of the O.M.A., a detailed guide to the problem was required for family physicians at this. :time because "not only is the problem increasing. but doctors must constantly keep up to date on the sub- ject." "Concepts on treating the• alcoholic- are changing rapidly through both research and experience," Dr. Saunders says. "In addition. we are achieving a better understanding of the body and the. influence ex- cessive alcoholic intake has on it " In helping 'doctors diagnose alcoholism. the book stresses that evidence of the problem may -come to light through common respiratory. gastro-intest- inal, cardiovascular, neurological and psychological complaints. Among the examples given are chronic laryngitis. hepatitis. pancreatitis, cardiac arrhythmias, tremulousness as well as 'cirrhosis and delerium tremens. As the' book point's out. each addicted alcoholic affects the lives of four other people,, including family, friends and teiftnr• workers. The addicted person may also suffer financial, legal or ,. spiritual problems.
