There are no plans for the con- struction of a nuclear energy plant or heavy water plant on Lake Huron between Grand Bend and the Bruce station according to Mr. S. Foster, president of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (A.E.C.L.). He made this state- ment in reply to a question asked by Huron MP Robert McKinley during a meeting of the standing committee on national resources and public works. However, Mr. Foster went on to say that although he did not know of any such plans, it is Ontario Hydro's program. When asked by Mr. McKinley to define the jurisdiction Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. has and what jurisdiction Ontario Hydro has, Mr. Foster explained that his Corn a l l in thanks to weather The majority of the corn in Huron County has been planted thanks to the dry weather ex- perienced in the last two weeks according to agricultural rl.;pre- sentative Don Pullen. "Sone people were getting concerned because of the cool damp weather earlier in the month, but fortunately it straigh- tened out. We probably need a little rain now as everything is fairly dry." The winter wheat fronises an average or above average yield as there was virtually no winter kill says Mr. Pullen. The unseasonably warm temp- eratures in April enabled farmers to plant an unusually large acreage of cereal grains. "There appears to be a 5% or more increase in the amount of cereal grains planted as farmers took advantage of the warm weather to plant more than they normally would have," says Mr. Pullen. The cereal grains look general- ly good, however, in the centre to north part of the county some of the barley and oats are showing a bit yellowish. Mr. Pullen does not believe there is any- thing to worry about as this is likely based on the weather and with some showers and lots of sun should straighten itself out. Farmers are now busy prepar- ing bean ground and with sonic good growing weather, bean planting will soon be in full swing. Mr. Pullen says there niay be some decrease in the acreage of white beans being planted. He bases this on the fact that the cereal grains went in so well this year and that the corn, though a bit late, was also planted without too much trouble. "Generally, things look pretty good," says Mr. Pullen. Attend funeral in Michigan Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Meyers; Mrs. Mary J. Hey; Mrs. Eleanor Brown, of Zurich; Mr. and Mrs. H.G.

According to Mr. Foster, the heavy water plants at Douglas Point were built by A.E.C.L. and sold at full cost recovery to Ontario Hydro. On the Douglas Point site there is a 200 megawatt nuclear power station and the Bruce generating station with four 750 megawatt units is under construction. The Bruce heavy water plant went into operation in 1967 and has been operating at around a 7517o capacity factor. The first two Bruce units will start up during this fiscal year so 1,500 megawatts should be in operation a year from now. When asked by Mr. McKinley where the power from the Doug- las Point is used. Mr. Foster replied it feeds into the system at Hanover and most of the energy is used in the Kitchener area.
