Hydro chair an responds
to concerns of farmers
Dear Editor,
Tony Mc%luail's com-
ments on Hydro's south-
western Ontario study
(Huron Federation of
Agriculture solicits . con-
cerns, September 2) address
three major concerns:
1. that by scheduling
working groups during the
summer, Hydro is
preventing farmers in Huron
County from participating in
a meaningful way;
2. that a 500 -kilovolt line to
get "bottled up" power out of
Bruce is unnecessary now;
and
3. that forecasts show it
will not be needed in future.
Briefly, let me re -assure
Mr. McQuail , and your
readers.
First, I realize and regret
that meeting in the summer
is not convenient for far-
mers. Even so, we still
wanted to get their views —
along with the views of other
interested people — before
the official hearings start .in
January. Farmers con-
nected with our other four
working groups have found it
possible to participate
despite their heavy summer
schedules. But we respect
the right of the Listowel
group -to postpone their input
until November. We've of-
fered to work with them
from that time, or before if
convenient, unui the parole
hearings start in January. I
hope that can happen.
Second, the line is
definitely needed. The
current lines can handle the
power from our Bruce A
plant, albeit with some
security problems. But when
the Bruce B plant is finished,
• we must have another line to
be able to get that new power
to where it's needed.
Finally, as far as forrasts.
of future needs are con-
cerned, we „ aren't perfect.
Estimates of future .needs
can change drastically in
short.periods of time. That's
why in our southwestern
Ontario study we've
examined need under a
series of possible load
growths, from two per cent
to 4.5 per cent per year:
Under all those cir-
cumstances the line is
needed. In fact, it is needed
at all load growths because it
will allow inexpensive and
less polluting nuclear energy
lA displace fossil fuelled
energy. -
The Listowel group's
participation is eagerly
awaited by Hydro and I'm
sure by the other citizens
committees who are now
contributing.
Searls seeks answers
Dear Editor:
Last year the Ontario
Parks held their first golf
tournament, and it' was held
in Goderich. This tourna-
ment, as I understand, was
promoted by Councillor
Heydon. It is interesting to
note members of Council
were not invited to attend.
This year it was held in
Brampton, the invited Town
Guests were; Town Clerk,
Commissioner of Works and
the Deputy Reeve.
In the minds of the Clerk
and Commissioner of Works
they will claim the day off as
part of their holidays or for
extra time worked, this is
not good enough for me. It
was requested at a previous
council meeting that all
Department Heads when go-
ing on holidays or taking
time off inform the Mayor
and council members. I
would like to see the reaction
of department heads if one of
their employees took a day
off without notifying them.
My questions are: How
much did this trip cost the
taxpayer? Who authorized
the trip and since when can
department heads take time
off their regular work week
without notifying the Mayor
or other members of coun-
cil? I might also add for
public information that last
yearit cost the taxpayers
over Two Thousand Dollars
Vial of Life
project is
senior concern
EXETER - The Vial of Life
project is being put together
by • senior citizen
organizations in the Exeter
community.
Organized in 1980 by the
Exeter council, the Vial of
Life program will provide
life-saving information in all
Exter homes and will be
used in a crisis situtation or
emergency, in case of fire,
sudden illness or accident. •
Plastic vials, contain a
complete listing tliat may be
required in case of
emergency. A form details
the name of your doctor,
medical insurance number,
medical problems,
medication and also a name
to phone in case of
emergecny. This info is
placed in a vial which is
attachable to the underneath
shelf of a refrigerator. The
Vial of Life decal is placed on
the door of the refrigerator
so emetency personnel will
know that the person is
participating ih the
program.
The' refrigerator has been
chosen . because it is easily
accessible and offers
protection from fire.
The program ' has been
enthusiastically endorsed by
Hoffman's Ambulance,' local
doctors, pharmacists, police
and 'firemen. It is • being
financially supported by the
Exeter Lions and Odd -
fellows.

in free meals.
In a gallup poll in the
Toronto Star it was noted
that for every taxdollar col-
lected at the municipal level,
twenty cents was wasted. As
a member of Council 1 must
agree. Some of our council
should be in Ottawa, like the
Prime Minister they Show
little concern for the average
taxpayer. .

ward waits for report on UNICEF
BY STEPHANIE
LEVESQUE
The Huron -Perth Separate
School Board will wait for a
pronouncement by John
Michael Sherlock, Bishop of
the London Diocese in
regards to UNICEF boxes.
Brought before the board
at its September 14 meeting
in the form of a bulletin from
the Ontario- Separate School
Teacher's Association, the
board decided to wait for the
pronouncement.
Director of . Education
William Eckert said the mat-
ter of allowing the children
to carry UNICEF boxes on
Hallowe'en has come up
every year for the past three
ears. He said at present the
board leaves it up to the
discretion of the individual
principals.
The complaint against
UNICEF is that it is reported
to support planned paren-
thood in Third World Coun-
tries, claims UNICEF has
denied in the ° past. Mr.
Eckert said the "quandary
for the separate schools is
whether the school children
should becomed involved.
Trustee Arthur Haid said
he thought the separate
schools should support the
Catholic missions.
"Here in . Canada, and
throughout the world,
especially Canada," said
Mr. Haid.
Bishop Marcel A. Gervais,
auxiliary bishop of the Lon-
don on Diocese (of Windsor)
said in the past (and
reported to the board) that
some kind of "public
awareness" of what
UNICEF does should be
done. He said .. Bishop

Sherlock would make a pro-
nouncement this fall.
Mr. Eckert said that when
the doubts surrounding
UNICEF first came up, the
separate schools were
almost 100 per cent actively
involved.
Chairman of the board
Ronald Murray said he has
never been called on by
anyone with a UNICEF box.
He suggested that instead of
the children getting the
boxes from the schools, they.
be obtainedelsewhere.
"I don't like the controver-
sy," said Chairman Murray.
One trustee, Ernest
Vanderschot said he thought .
it was good for the children
to learn to give. He said the
boxes should be available to
each child and he disagreed
with the opinion UNICEF is
wrong.
"UNICEF is good," said
Trustee Vanderschot.
The board will wait until
its September 28 meeting,
allowing trustees time to..
think the matter over and to
wait for:. Bishop Sherlock's
pronoucement.
In other business, the
board appointed three
trustees, Ron Marcy, Lor-
raine Devereaux and chair-
man Murray, to sit on an ad-
visory committee. The com-
mittee, formed under Bill 82
will have up to 12 members.

Making
changes
to a
watercourse?
The waters of rivers, streams and creeks belong to everyone.
Improper use of the watercourses which carry these waters may
result in the following?
- irrigation and drainage problems for neighbours
- destruction of aquatic and wildlife habitat
- reduced recreational opportunities
- erosion and flooding problems
Whenever permanently flowing watercourses are to be altered in
any way including damming, diverting, . and channelization,
Federal and Provincial laws require that the approval of the
Ministry of Natural Resources be obtained.
As a first step in planning any work on a watercourse, contact us.
Our staff will be glad to discuss possible design and layout alter-
natives which will minimize future problems for you, your neigh-
bour and public in general.
