(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Council, pawns in Hydro's program Dear Editor, I was appalled and deeply concerned when I read the headlines in the Goderich Signal -Star last week: "Council supports Hydro transmission line." For Huron Council to take a posi- tion on the controversial and still highly disputed proposal of Ontario Hydro at this pointFlin time leads a person to think there must have been some pressure ' put somewhere' The county has been represented by Reeve Tom Cunningham (Hullett Township) at the Listowel Working Group meetings thus far. The meetings are far from complete and LETTERS many questions as to the real need, and methodology used in determining their propos- ed plan (MI) still need to be answered. (They were on the agenda for upcoming meetings). The proposed plan is under review by the Ministry of Environment. Do we care what they have to say? The review is 'then presented to hearings in front of the Consolidated Hearings Board to allow for public participation in the procedures. The hearings are not scheduled to begin until January 26, 1982 in Stratford. Again, what is council's rush to take a posi- tion? What could it benefit Huron County to be dissected by a 500 KW. transmission line from Bruce to London? Do we expect a great boost in industrial expansion as a. result? 1 submit editor, that if On- tario Hydro places a keen sense of value on prime Clip nuclear news reports To the Editor 'there are many Cana- dians who are very concern- ed about our nuclear in- dustry and its failure to find a solution to many of its pro- blems. Searching, but failing to find a safe method of nuclear waste disposal, our govern- ment continues to pile up more and more millions of tons of this almost - forever poison. What are they doing' Or do they know what they're doing? Serious ac- cidents are blamed on "the hu=man factor". Radio -active waste is spilled into our .drinking water. Old Mother Earth breathes nuclear dust There are many who want to have a conscience -clear answer when the next generation asks '"Did you try to stop the nuclear mess that we have inherited?" An inexpensive way to show vour concern is to make a habit of clipping from newspapers or magazines each news report dealing with the nuclear in- dustry, then sending each. clipping (no postage stamp required) to either: Marc Lalonde, Minister of Energy, House of Commons Ottawa; Pierre Trudeau, Prime Minister, House of Commons. Ottawa; or Moni- que Begin, ' Minister of Health, House of Commons Ottawa. We know that nuclear spells disaster, but does the government KNOW we know? They will if you and I "'Keep on clipping".

The agricultural com- munity, farm organizations, etc., will take a dim view on county council's action.
