This came after discussion about location and cost which had " featured many PUC meetings during the past 18 months. The new well equippedwith a 700 gallongs per' minute pump Would result in the firm capacity of the town's water system being increased from 504,000 gallons per day to 1,225,000 per day. This new standard is in keeping with requirements designated by both the OWRC and the Ontario Fire Marshal's office for a town g of this area and population. V Following the recommenda- tions of the consulting engineers, .the location of the new well and , o pump house will be at the north- west corner of Water Street and n Cedar Avenue adjacent to " the Lloyd Truax plant. Estimated cost for this includ- ing the pump and combination diesel engine and motor drive is $45,000. A new eight -inch water - main on_'Bristol Terrace adds another $9,500 and another main on Patrick street, a"logp to conned existing mains' with the ell, means . a further :for na► tal'of ouverslan pt ' . ,fisting' pumps and puinp1 level controls all relating to a pressure co- ordinating system adds another $19,000 and engineering costs and allowances ances for contingencies brings the complete total to This cost facing the PUC had resulted hesitancy in im- plementing the plan, but con- tinued "reminders" from the OWRC; also the desire to ensure adequate water pressure for the town, resulted in the PUC's deci, sion to proceed immediately with the project. At one stage, thought had been iven to construction of a reser- oir with a capacity of 500,000 allons with a pumphouse hous- ng two high -lift pumps, but this was thought to be about the cost f well so the decision to have a ew well and possibly another ew well at a later date was made. Cancer blitz add $1,200 to the fund ' Twenty interested people from Wingham attended the Daffodil Coffee Party sponsored by the Huron County unit of the 'Cana- dian Cancer Society, Wednesday of latit week. Held at the White Carnation, Holmesville, the 3-9 program in- cluded the Bell Ringers, under the leadership of Gordon Leggatt *, of Wingham, who were well re- ceived by the audience. The coffee party was the kick- off for the 1973 campaign in Huron County. 4 Held Blitz • Under the sponsorship of the Wingham Business and Profes- sional Women's Club, a blitz was held in town last Monday night with other volunteer canvassers assisting club members. This concerted effort resulted in $1,200 being collected to which will be added further donations still to come and the proceeds of the euchre party held by the Wingham Kinettes. Various branches of the Wo- men's Institute have been can- vassing rural areas with results still to be reported. Marc Forrest and George Hetherington are co-chairmen of this year's cancer drive. Adding this new well to the ater system means a constant adequate .pressure for all pur- poses, including fire -fighting. Considerable water is used, of course, in the operation of the sewage system and having the extra reserve pressure will be an asset in this phase of municipal operation. The Wingham Novice hoekeY team ped their highest go ' outputof t season last TuesdaY night as' they defeated their dada 8-5 in a fun -filled exhibition con- test. Out to uphold their .challenge, the fathers jumped into an early lead with Wayne Brown Scoring in the fourth minute of play fol- lowing the face-off between Scott McGregor andbis father, Dr. Jim N#XcGregor.

Ken Hoppers, Bruce Macintyre, Peter Goodall, Eric McGregor and. Scott .Mc, regor scored to give the yo a command, . ing lead in the second period. Second Wind The rest at intermission did wonders for the dads and they came out flying, determined to even the score: Wayne Brown scored his second goal and 30 sec- onds later the fathers were really behind the 8 -ball when goalie Larry Taylor was tagged with a tripping penalty. Cbach Bruce Penny charged out on the ice to berate referee George Foulon for favoritism but _ to no avail as Taylor went to the sin -bin. Coach Penny threw his hat on the ice, kicked it around the ice but the penalty stood and having no substitute goalkeeper, the Punch Imlach appearing coach went in goal himself armed with a baseball bat. He kept his shutout record in- tact for one minute before Ken Hopper fired his second goal, bringing Larry Taylor back to the net. Despite his frantic acro- batics in front of his goal, Bruce Maclntyre scored three minutes Hockey mothers continue responsibility for booth The Mothers' Auxiliary to Wingham Minor Hockey Associa- tion held their April meeting Monday, April 2 with 13 members attending. Roe Croskill and Jim Bain of the Wingham Recreation and Community Centres Board were also present as guests. President Mrs, Donna Corn- wall opened the meeting, wel- comed the guests and com- mented on the fine attendance of members. Reading the minutes of the February meeting was waived and Mrs. Doug Foxton presented a favorable treasurer's report indicating that all bills had been paid. The Auxiliary decided to donate two large trophies for the House League to be presented at the parent and son banquet, also to purchase two sets of goaleep- ing equipment. If a junior team is formed, the mothers' group will donate a sum of money. The representatives from the recreation board inquired if the Auxiliary would continue to be responsible for the operation of the refreshment booth in the arena. Following a motion to con- tinue, the members voted in favor. The Auxiliary plans to hire a helper for the booth and the treats would consist of ice cream novelties, etc. Approval was given for the booth to be open Tuesday, Friday and Saturday from 8 to 10 pin. during roller skating sessions. Jim Ward congratulated the mothers for their help which re- sulted in the successful operation of the booth. r j t after Taylor's return to s7: t* t. .R, the Novice lead to 7-3. 1404 of Bat ` - Bad Biil`Hintoul, so du announcer Jim Swan beta his frequent trips to the _ pep box, came on the Ice well <res to grab aaoose:pock °; charge up the ice td:aseo _ about 30 seconds lef(in the g Toin Robinson, scold , to the margin to two,gOals.

Using a plan of the proposed building development, PUC man ager Ken Saxton outlined the re- quirements regarding feeding power to this new area and what this would mean in terms of load and revenue to the commission. Final arrangements with dis- position of poles and trans- formers are still to be made, but Mr. Saxton reported he antici- pated no probems as the de- veloper appeared anxious to co - Operate. Approval was given for the purchase of a hydraulic tamper which cduld be operated from truck power. This tool was con- sidered to be an asset when in- stalling poles, waters sins and in other cases where ground had been disturbed and had to be re- placed. Water revenue at the present ime was set at about $49,000 but the commission, looking over the Mandel condition of the depart- ment, estimated $66,000 would be equired. This led to a discussion of water rates and it Was decided to in- tense them. Probably effective me time in ,lane, the dernestic rad commercial rate will be $4 r month with $5 set for special ocationn where more water is used " An increase in cost of installa- h tion of six inch watermains was also approved, with this levy to o jump to $8 per foot frontage from Yd slightly less than $6. x Approval was given for the manager and another to attend a convention of the Georgian Bay Waterworks Association and the _ Electrical Municipal Association Mrs. William Rintoul and Mrs. t Ken Saxton were named a nominating committee'topre�sent a new slate of officers at the next meeting for the 1973-74 season..

When purified, the heavy water will be shipped to Pickering Generating Station, near Toronto, for use in starting up the fourth reactor. . This D20 was produced from the First Enriching Unit, which was filled with hydrogen sulphide and began building up an inven- tory of heavy water in the system in December, 1972. The Second Enriching Unit is now in the early stages of operation. When full capacity is reached, after several months of tuning and debugging, the plant will pro- duce 800 tons per year. Waiting for wood ducks Last year the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority people placed five nests for wood ducks on the lower pond and soon had occupants to interest those who have an eye for wildlife. Now the return o the birds is momen- tarily a*pected--in fact the tenants may be back even as we write. Some of their species have been seen flying in the neighbor- hood, although whether or not it is the same individual birds as last year is not yet kno4vn. Another five nests were placed at the Bluevale millpond so ob- servers may have something in- teresting to watch out there as well.
