Generation and VMS--
, Study, theCon-
tented
Viers group which
flOrmed earlier this year to op-
pOSO the line though the southern
eOrridor, have replied With a
hard-hitting brief to Ontario
Hydrio President Douglas J.
Gorden.
Released to the press on
Wednesday, Dec. 4. by Lloyd H.
Moore of . Ustowel, chairman of
the farmers group, the 15 -page
° brief was mailed to Mr. Gordon
On Nov. 28. The Concerned
Farmers of the United Townships
includes members from the:
townships of Turnberry, Howick.,
Wallace, .Maryborough, Peel,
Woc#lwich and Pilkington.
To backup their claim that ache
Main reason for 500 Kv treats -
mission linea through top vigri-
cultural land of the southern
corridor is to ' justify placing a
large generating plant near
Goderich, the farmers note -the
following:
'Three 500 Kv trans ,mission
lines are planned on the top pro-
ducing agricultural land. between
Wingham and Kitchener (this is
the land represented by the
Concerned Farmers of the United
Townships). Only t7 vo 500 Kv
lines are planned from Bradley
Junction (near Bruce! Generating
,Station) to Wingham .. Two 500 Kv
lines will not feed 'three 500 Kv
lines."
Noting that Ont tarso Hydro's
large generating plant at Nanti-
cokeis. attracting !heavy industry
which, has purchsased land, and
that two large cities are being
planned in the ,' area, farmers
voice the fear tat; same. thingwill
happen m their area if another
pmt is laced! near Goderich.
The proposes t plant at Goder-
ich, .first, Ines,tioned by Hydro
during trip ismission lisle
hearings ' held: thiroughout this
area last spring, is still under
consideration.
f"
" Ontario Hydro should be
meowed to ',guild transmission
lines oh the !southern route, with
the resulting generating plant
near Goderich to feed these lines,
the enormous , destruction by
Ontario 'Hydro and the many
things thcey will attract will end
Ontario,': self sufficient food
stand, the farmers state in their
brief.
"One of the three; proposed 500
Kv ttransrpis$ion lines running
east, ,from Wingham towards..
Kitchener, will leave the rest and
go to London. We are told by
Hydro that tit cis 500 Kv line will
likely go clown through Perth
County," the TOW .continues. "To
*We* fair Study, Hydro must lay
all their caurds on the table and
show the proposed route for this
line, 50 that the others involved
will have the opportunity to join
in.,,
One reason given by Ontario
Hydro fele the southern route —
for security pprpos,,es, is disputed
by the farmers in their brief.
"We 'nave on file a letter from
the P':emiler of Ontario dated
March 28, 1974, stating: 'The pro-
babilhty of losing all transmission
lines between two points is signif-
icantly reduced if the lines are
distributed among two rights-of-
wa y having at beast a five mile
separation between them over as
much of their length as possible.
Wherefore, it is planned to locate
'the 500 Kv lines from Bruce
Generating Station on two
separate rights -sof -ways starting
at a point about 15 miles east of
the plant.' "
"We note that the southern
route (Wingham to Kitchener)
has 25 to 30 Hailes separation
through the best agricultural
land and is a much longer route
from Bruce GS to the markets
east of the escarpment where this
power will mainly be used," the
brief continues. "A five mile
separation from the northern
route would place the tran-
smission lines on land that is
mainly poorer or has unfavorable
climatic conditions."
According to the brief, the
other reason that Ontario Hydro
gives for the southern route is
that the Kitchener area "may
need more power."
The farmers also dispute this
reasoning.
"At present Kitchener area is
connected with four 230 Kv lines.
The line from Kitchener to Sea -
forth now dead ends near a -
forth. Through this line Kitchener
now feeds a small amount of
power to the area including
Stratford, Seaforth, Goderich,
etc. This 230. Kv line is now being
connected to Bruce GS and will
be able, under normal conditions,
to supply the entire needs of the
area of London, Kitchener, Cam-
bridge, Guelph, etc.
"The 230 Kv line from Kit;,
chener- to Orangeville is at
present being rebuilt so that it
will=be able to carry more power
when power starts to flow from
Bruce GS to Orangeville, thus
more power for Kitchener. At
present power is being fed from
Kitchener to Fergus, Orange-
ville, etc , but when Bruce GS
starts producing, this 230 Kv line
will be able to reverse its flow
and feed the Kitchener area.
"London may be connected
with Nanticoke GS with a 500 Kv
poe and would no longer,, require
wer from Kitchener, but could
in fact, send power to Kitchener.
The bulk of the power supplying

the Kim area now comes
from the Niagara-Harailton 230
Kv line. Four thneF its present
size will be Hauch more than
enough for the Kitchener area to
grow in the foreseeable future.
There is no need for a 500 Kv line
from Bruce GS to the Kitchener
area besides all this extra power
being added when the present
power requirements for the
whole area is belfng supplied
primarily froth one 230 Kv line
from Hamilton -Niagara."
Out of the 53 counties and dis-
tricts in Ontario, the farmers
stress that the second Ontario
Hydro study will only directly
affect the eight counties of Bruce,
Huron, Perth, Lambton, Water-
loo, Wellington, Middlesex and
Oxford which make up approxi-
mately two per cent of the land
area in the province.
These same eight counties in
1973 produced the following : 48
per cent of the total barley grown
in Ontario; 59per cent of the total
mixed grain grown hi Ontario; 83
per cent of the total dry beans
grown in Ontario; 46 per cent of
the shelled corn grown in On-
tario; 46 per cent of the fodder
corn grown in Ontario; :50 per
cent of the cattle marketed 'in
Ontario and 63 per cent of the
hogs - marketed in the province,
according to figures from Agri-
cultural Statistics for Ontario
1973 (publication 20) produced by
the Ontario Ministry of Agricult-
ure and Food.
"It becomes of the utmost
irnportnace to the consumer of
this country that Ontario Hydro
not be allowed to destroy this
good agricultural land by its own
actions and the actions. of in-
dustries and cities it will at-
tract," the brief states.
"We do not need cities like
Kitchener, London, Cambridge,
Guelph, etc. 10 times larger when
expansion is on top producing
agricultural land. We do not need
the Lake Huron area from Sarnia
to above Douglas Point solidly
built up with industries and cities
when they will be on the best food
producing land. We do not need
transmission lines 'across 'land
that produces the biggest share of
Ontario's food, when there are
shorter more direct routes to the
intended markets over poorer
producing land. We do not need a
hydro ° generating plant near
.Goderich where pollution would
end the white bean production for
the whole area." ,
"Ontario Hydro," the . brief
concludes, "can with less total
expense to the consumer, do so
much for the future of the pro-
vince of Ontario, by steering
industries, land -use, urbaniz-
ation, planning and growth in the'
right direction. This can be done
by placement of the hydro gener-
ating plants in the economically
depressed areas where they and
their transmission lines will not
disturb the top producing agri-
cultural land."
An unconscious person or
severely injured person should
only be moved if he is an danger
from traffic, fire or some other
hazard, St John Ambulance
suggests.

If there's a fire in your town, you'd want
a full report on it, wouldn't you? And,
when it comes to reporting fires and
other local happenings, most people
turn to their local newspaper for the
news.
Your local newspaper's prime f inction
is to present the news—with strong
emphasis on local news.
That's why eight out of ten adults read
a newspaper every day. No other news
source can match local newspapers for
speedy, thorough saturation of a com-
munity.
Local newspapers diver massive
coverage to people of all ages. 80% of
all men and women read a newspaper
every week. And the figures are almost
as high for teen-agers--7 out of 10
(ages 12-20) read a newspaper every
week.
Where's the fire? Who's the proud new
parents? Who got married? All of these,
and more, are reported in your local
newspaper every week. And who wants
to know? You do—with a full report.
Newspapers deliver the local story.
