NFU rejects plans for suggested route The National Farmers' Union has urged the• National Energy Bard to reject con- struction of a Sarnia to Mon- treal pipeline extension, in favor .of an all Canadian route through Northern ,Ontario. In` a brief to the N.E.B. May '2 t, the -NFU said the "future ravaging and disruption of far- rners and production fatm•land can no -longer be tolerated in a. food short world." It• warned too of 'thee con- tinual hazards, of oil and gas pipelines passing through prime farm lands, relating to soil con- tamination and human life in areas" of population density. The brief also charged that the experiences of farmers in Officer Cadet Philip Dale War- dley: son of Mr. .W,M, Wardley. of 219 Jones St . Goderich. graduated from the_:. Royal Military College of Canada. Kingston, with a Bachelor of Arts .(General) Degree • Thep degree .was conferred by Brigadier General, W W. ' Tur- ner. Commandant of the College -This year's graduation class of -199. is the second. largest in the, history ot, the College granting easement's to, pipeline and otbr expropriating agen- cies has been far from satisfac- tory, with monetary offers unrealistic and often ludicrous when considering the industrial use for which the land is em- ployed. Invariably, the manner in which expropriating agencies deal with farmers is arbitrary. The NFU brief said a crown corporation should construct the all Canadian route from the Winnipeg area to serve Eastern Canada, and that it should be built as a public utiliiy'as should 'any pipeline serving Canadians on Canadian soil. "The recent so-called energy crisis caused Canadians to focus sharply on our vulnerability, as.,a nation, to foreign policy decisions of multi -national . corporations", the NFU said. "Now- that the hysteria of an oil shortage has given way. to increased oil company prices and "profits, there does not seem to be the' same urgency and panic to "push through" the Sarnia -Montreal line", the organization spokesmen say. The brief reflected people should be mindful of the op- position 100 years agd to the construction of an all Canadian railroad; but thewisdom of the rail across' Northern .Ontario has" long been self evident as would the pipeline in. the future. fl • YES WE4 CAN $2,000-$50,OOO 2nd & 3rd mtges We are now making bans on ail types of properties in your area.
