He was charged on October 14 after an Exeter OPP officer saw a vehicle pass the local detachment office at a high rate of speed around 11:40 p.m. Police pursued the vehicle at a speed of up to 164 km. per hour on Highway 4 and the vehicle turned left onto Highway 84 in Hensall after pass- ing three cars. The vehicle skidded across the intersection of Highway 4 and 84 and was clocked at 90 km. per hour in a 50 km. zone.

He was charged with three counts of assault on September 20 after at- tacks on his common-law wife and her two sons, aged eight and nine.

He emphasized that the Foodland Hydro Committee is the only public organization that is present at the hearings on a full-time basis. Other groups have withdrawn entirely, or are only present on a part-time basis at best. Foodland Hydro brought forward many high calibre expert witnesses to testify on the generic issues such as electricity efficiency planning, load forecasting, alternative generation, and, ozone and corona production from transmission lines. It is felt by the group that these witnesses gave excellent evidence for alternatives to the transmission system proposed by Ontario Hydro. McQuail then spoke on the local hearings. "At London and Clinton it is our chance to give the other side of the story. In Guelph we gave testimony on the generic issues, now Foodland Hydro can outline our other concern- agricultural land." He stressed that he wants the Foodland Hydro Committee to give a professional aRnd well organized. township by township approach to the Men aid gals Continued from front page In moving to approve the $150 grant, Hoogenboom said the group of young local citizens should be supported. However, Mrs. Chapman explained that young women from Wingham, Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth were being invited as well and it was not just local young people who would benefit. • Hoogenboom said hefioped that the councils in other communities would follow Exeter's example of generosi- ty and give a donation to help out. After the vote, in which the five men out -voted the two women, Mrs. Fuller said she had approached ser- vice clubs in an effort to get assistance for the conference and was told that if the young women want such an event, they should be prepared to pay. testimony on the Bruce Nuclear Plant to Essa Transformer Station (near Barrie) route. McQuail introduced Steve Thompson who is attending the Markdale hearings representing the organization on a full-time basis. Thompson stated that Ontario Hydro gave their testimony on the Bruce to Essa route, and received considerable cross-examination by Ontario Ministries, municipal of- ficials and many members of the public. About 160 people stated they wanted to give submissions at the Markdale hearing, and these submissions started Monday. "It's a zoo up here!" Thompson said. "Landowners are against landowners, and agriculture has barely been mentioned." This report from Markdale emphasized the necessity for the Foodland Hydro Committee to stick to the aim of the organization- the preservation of agriculture, not trying to move the transmission lines off a particular landowner's property. However, if a landowner should re- quire a small realignment in the pro- posed transmission corridor on his property, the landowner should make clear his requests in a letter to Bruce Campbell, Ontario Hydro's lawyer, as soon as possible, and send a copy of their request to the Foodland Hydro Committee Chairman, Tony McQuail. "None of us want this transmission line, but, if it is approved and you do not request any realignments now, you will have no recouve later," McQuail told the members. A lengthy question and answer period followed, the subject of most interest was the content of submis- sions to the Board. McQuail recogniz- ed that repetition of agricultural con- cerns can not be totally avoided, but if landowners from each township work together it can be reduced. Some members showed concern that they nay be cross-examined by Hydro after giving their testimony. McQuail reassured the members that it would be most unlikely, and if they do, would only be to clarify a point that was made in their submission.

Awareness workshop "Pulling our own strings" is the theme of a conference being held on March 7 and 8 at South Huron District High School for young women aged 15 to 25 living in Huron County. All parts of the program- workshops, panel discussions, key -note speaker and entertainment- are designed to raise awareness of issues concerning women today. The conference begins the night of Friday, March 7 with an address by Maude Barlow, an active feminist and former advisor to Pierre Trudeau who headed the Office of Equal Op- purtunity for Women and founded the Canadian Coalition Against Media Pornography. She is now hosting a current affairs program for a local CTV station. Janet Fury and the Furettes will entertain for the remainder of the evening. Everyone in the communi- ty is welcome to attend the Friday evening program. Saturday will be devoted to workshops headed by an impressive list of facillitators, most of whom work in social service fields and/or are part of self-help groups. "Relationships" will examine male-female relationships in society and explore how sexist conditioning limits these relationships. This workshop will also look at the strug- gles women have in their relation- ships with other women, and the joys of female friendship. The sexuality workshop will ex- plore how conditioning affects the way women see themselves sexually, and how rape, incest, pornography and sexual harassment affect all women. "Developing potential for women" will centre on career possibilties for women, and the difficulties ex- perienced in some of those choices. An "assertiveness" workshop will discuss how fear limits choices in all aspects of a woman's life, and ways to become assertive. The deadline for registration is March 5, and participation is limited to 200. To register, contact Pulling our own Strings Collective c/o South Huron District High School, Exeter, NOM iSO, 235-0880, or any Huron high school. Bus transportation will be provid- ed from high schools in Wingham, Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth and return on both Friday and Saturday. Lunch and snacks will be provided. Voluntary contributions by those at- tending to help defray incidental ex- penses would be appreciated. .1••'`44, t Tlmes•Advocate, March 5, 1946 Employee health and dental programs we b sitar • responsible ciienige • flexible plan design • ease of administration.
