ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS
THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1974
This planned nuclear gener-
ating station south of Goderich
bothers me. It will sit right at
the edge of some of the finest
agricultural ]and in all of Can-
ada.
When we see what is happen-
ing around the Douglas Point
station, we know pretty well
what will happen in Huron
county. Schools for the children
of the builders have to be erect-
ed, only to be useless right aft-
er the plant is built. The same
with housing and the necessary
streets and sewage and water
fac ilit ies.
Sure, Hydro will contribute
some to the cost of this, but a
good deal will still have to
come out of our taxes. Transmis-
sion lines will take more of this
fine farmland, for there's no
other land to go through and the
accompanying wrangels over
compensation, with hydro people
playing neighbour against neigh-
bour, causing disruption in our
social life that can't be meas-
ured.
Another factor that will be
shrugges off by those who have
only learned to think in terms
of money. Who will come to
help harvest our crops when wor-
kers at the hydro plant are being
paid Toronto wages? Some
farmers in the vicinity will
leave their farms for secure
wages at the plant and area
farmers won't be able to lease
the land from them because
they can't afford to pay the
wages.
There must be a place to put
the d-- thing where it will
cause less disruption. Why not
put it in Sarnia. Their mayor
is always hollering for more and
the lines can be led along his
new four -lane highway or may-
be even underground through
the oil pipeline he so desperat-
ely wants. The oil could be a
cooling agent. Or in more
northern parts of the province
where it can be built on the
rocks. It costs more initial out-
lay but who can say what the
ultimate cost will be in higher
food cost for everyone.
Another thing that bugs me
is their arrogance. There will
most likely be hearings and
when they are all over the
minister will say that it was
good that everyone had a
chance to express their opinion$,
but it was already decided five
years ago that the plant will be
where it is going.
In the last three years an
area as large as Huron County
was buried under concrete and
now they are starting on Huron
county itself. If I'm well infor-
med, Huron was designated as
farming country. Politicians
seem to think this means that
to have a free hand with the
land.

again. He said the last time
it was discussed was when there
was a vacancy in Huron.
He explained to council the
decision op this matter is up to
the board of health and county
council.
"All we'd gain is some extra
grants, " said Dr. Mills. "But
there would be more work and
less control."
In his report, Dr. Mills expl-
ained the present requirements
in Huron when installing a sept-
ic tank system.
The afternoon session dealt
with the UDIRA study Urban
Development in Rural Areas)
which is being completed as a
joint project between the county
and the province. James F.
MacLaren Limited, Willowdale,
are the environmental consult-
andt involved in the study.

A table saw properly used is
a good safe tool. Wrongly used
it is a source of trouble and
grief. St. John Ambulance
recommends that you pay att-
ention to the following tips.
Blade guards should always
be used. On cutting jobs always
use a gauge, never try to cut
free hand. Wear a heavy apron
for protection against kickbacks,
Keep the blade as low as you
can, There should be no more
than three teeth showing above
the stock being cut.
