GLOBAL TELEVISION%
ROVING REPORTER I
Professor Radforth's newest
baby was born. And that's
how I happened to be slosh-
ing around in a bog. It turned
out to be a pretty old baby.
Maybe about 3,000 years old
and some peat in the district
is 10,000 years old or more.
I learned something else
about bogs. They're tricky.
You don't see the holes. What
looks like nice solid foliage
hides a two -foot hole. Even
an old pro like Dr. Radforth
fell into one. I was lucky.
They steered me away from
the bad spots.
Mike reached way down
into the moist ground and
brought up a fistful of peat.
Brownish gooey stuff.
"There are 17 different
types of peat," said Dr. Rad -
forth, taking a bit of the stuff
from Mike's hand. "This
type is excellent for energy."
He went on to tell me how
they dig ditches, drain off the
moisture and extrude the
peat into four -inch bricks.
"In some European coun-
tries, they've been using
peat for heat for hundreds of
years" he said. "Ireland
now generates 25 per cent of
its electr, �•,► from peat," he
added,t
As WO "dged back to the
highwa, I was thinking that
some of those old fossils just
below the surface of the bog ,
must lie pretty hot stuff.
Which all goes to prove that
there's no fuel like an old
fuel.
I'd never .thought much
about peat until I started to
slosh around in a bog near
Parry. Sound with Professor,
Norman Radforth.
Dr. Radforth is an expert
on peat. A vibrant man in his
early seventies with a Santa
Claus type beard, he's been
studying peat for close to
half a century. In fact, he
created the classification
system for peat.
He's also a consultant for a
team of researchers taking
an inventory of how much
peat is available in Canada.
The government wants to
know if it's possible to use
peat as a low cost fuel.
The team sends aerial
photos of bogs located in
various parts of the country
to Dr. Radforth, and he
sends back a report on the
peat potential in certain
areas. Survey teams then
send ground samples which
he identifies in the labora-
tory of his rambling home on
the outskirts of Parry Sound.
But %r. Radforth has
moved ahead on his own to
develop a product called
"Peat Heat". It comes in
compressed peat bricks that
he says have -a higher energy
content than the best wood. A
company has been formed to
market the product with the
peat coming from bogs
around Parry Sound:
With Field Manager Mike
Thompson leading the way
we went out to see where
