But Henry Pattison of Blyth prefers to raise exhibition hens instead. The comparison between growing flowers and raising chickens is one that Henry uses when he tells you why he chose to raise the hens. There are no flower beds visible in front of Henry's house and he says, "I like to say 1 grow chicken feathers when other people are growing their flowers." Henry says he rasies straight standard chickens. "Anything l have are straight exhibition type of chickens." He does have a few rare breeds though, one of them being the Bearded Buff Silver Polish hens which he just got last fall He first started raising exhibition hens after he bought half a setting of eggs from Harvey Leatherland who had showbirds. He bought the eggs sometime in the 1950's probably 1956 or 1957 and descendants of those birds •.vhich we:c Silver Spangled Hamburgs recently won some first prizes for Henry at shows last fall in Clinton, Bayfield and Kincardine, Henry has more Hamburgs than anything else,. about 15. The total of his exhibition chickens is around 50. Another breed he has are Golden Sebright Bantams, He has been exhibiting the hens at shows only for the past two or three years now because when he lived on his farm on the IOth of Wawanosh he was milking cows and feeding pigs and just didn't have time to go. But for this last couple of years he has been going to the shows in Bayfield, Clinton and Kincardine. Just what is it that judges are looking for when they look at those exhibitions hens? Well, they look at the size, the shape, the feet and the color among other things. The standards for basically every breed of chicken recognized in the shows is in a book called Standard of Perfection for Domesticated Land Fowl and Water Fowl put out by the American Poultry Association Incorporated. Henry is a member of the Huron County Poultry Club which meets once a month. The Club runs a show of its own in the fall. The Huron Club offers special prizes at some of the shows but they actually only sponsor one in Woodstock. This July, there will be a show near Dashwood on somebody's farm. No prizes are offered, Henry says, calling it a cross between a poultry show and a picnic. The meetings of the Poultry Club itself are what Henry calls a general get-together to trade chickens and information, Although he has been showing his exhibition chickens at shows recently, that isn't Henry's main reason for raising the birds. "They're just for me and the neighbor- hood kids to look at, he says. Send your recipes Christmas is traditionally a special time for good cooks.

Mr. Pattison has several extraordinary birds which he wins prizes for at local fairs. (Standard photo) Wildlife plan could cost X1.7 million BY DEBBIE RANNEY Hullett Township reeve Joe Hunking was presented with the master for the development 2400 hectares (6000 acres) of the Hullett Wildlife area last Wednesday, a plan which would make the area one of southern Ontario's most significant wildlife habitats. Implementation of the plan would cost around $1.7 million. The master plan was presented to the reeve at a meeting held in the hullett Maintenance buildings. Ducks Unlimited, a privately funded conservation organization has offered its help in paying a major portion of the financing and is expected to contribute up to $1 million for the project and other funding for such things as a visitor's service centre, reads and parking areas will come out of the MNR's develop- ment funds, Norm Richard, district manager of the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) office in Wingham explained that after several years of studying the area, the master plan will be the official policy for the development and management of the area and told some of the history behind it. Skating pros hired The executive of the figure skating club held their meeting Thursday night, Sept. 20, at Diane Wasson's. The two Pros they had last year were again hired for this season • Mrs. Debbie Pettit and Miss Julie Twynham It was decided to start skating on Oct. 19th with registration taking place that day. Tickets are to be handed out to be sold on a draw as soon as possible to make money, as ail figure skating equipment, badges, music, etc. were lost when Flynn's house was burned. Thank -you cards were sent out to O.E.S. for donation of $100. and Londesboro Lions for donation of $50. The new executive is: Pres. - Diane Wasson; Sec, - Betty Archambault; Treas. - Shirley Lyon; Sr. Test Chairman - Donna Flynn; Jr. Test Chairman - Joan Watson; Directors - Laura Laurence and Enid MacDonald. Some of the local skating students attended figure skating school in Vanastra in the spring, summer and fall sessions. It was back in the early 1960's that the area was identified as a potential wild- life management area but it wasn't until the early 1970's that the first parcel of land was acquired. The last parcel of land was acquired in 1976. Mr, Richards said that since then, the major problem has been ftnanical. He said that the Ministry still has approximately five properties to be negotiate for and it looked like in most cases they would get them. When presented with the master plan, Reeve Hunking said now that Ducks Unlimited was helping he hoped things would really get going. "Maybe in •a few years, we'll have a little more to show for what we've been doing," he said. The wildlife area floods only in the spring and fall and the MNR hopes that the development of the master plan will allow them to hold the water for a longer period of time than nature allows. The master plan states that the unpredictable nature of water levels which vary from year to year discourages nesting since sites can dis- appear rapidly as flooded lands drain. Water level fluctuations also influence food production since shallow waters must exist for prolonged periods of time before valuable plant life becomes established. According to the master plan it was decided that if the area could be permanently fooded, it would constitute a major waterfowl habitat location within Southern Ontario. In order to accomplish this, it was pro- posed that a dam be con- structed in the northwest sector of the property and that the flooded land be subdivided by means of a system of dikes. This would result in a major impoundment within four sub -impoundments and two small peripheral pools within which water levels could be manipulated in re- , (Continued on Page 13) Inside this week Dulzers celebrate 45 years married ...

Each year hunting accidents bring tragedy to many families, usually because the most simple rules have been broken. What can you do? •Never consume alcohol before or during a hunt. •Know the identifying features of the game you intend to hunt. *Never shoot in the direct- ion of buildings or livestock. You cannot depend on the common sense of the hunter beside you • wear bright orange. The handling of firearms requires great care. The Ontario Provincial Police Force reminds you that there are several basic are several basic gun - handling rules: •Always handle a gun as if it were loaded, •Never climb a tree or fence with a loaded firearm, •Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, •Unload unattended fire- arms. Few hunting deaths are accidents - they are usually caused by negligence. With some thought and care most of them could have been prevented. Don't be at either end of an "accident", use common sense measures and enjoy a safe hunting trip. Euchre results Euchre for Monday Sept, 24 as follows.

All this heavy thinking came about last weekend when my younger sister phoned. and warned us she would be arriving in a few hours with a load of elderber- ries for wine, How much would she need? Now elderberry wine is nothing new in our house. For three years we waded through the swamp and did battle with mosquitoes for those precious clusters of berries hanging so close to our heads, One year we were really ambitious and made four or five different wines, includ- ing elderberry, for a total of 60 gallons. But since then we have had our fill of wine and the crock has remained empty. But my sister saw a packed bush of berries and knowing our capacity for wine decided the berries should not go to waste. Through mud and bush she waded in and, along with two helpers, picked a large plastic leaf bag full of berries. The work as you can imagine if you have ever picked elder- berries is tedious, For wine there should be no green stems going into the crock. The stems will affect the flavour and leave a gummy green residue in your crock that is a brute to clean with normal cleaners. Elderberry wine and Well, it was 10:30 at night before enough berries were cleaned for 20 gallons of wine. All the while my sister kept sweetly informing me that picking these berries was a real job and that appreciation for the task well done should be mentioned time and time again. Klaus nodded at her and refilled her wine glass with more homemade elderberry wine, 1 don't know about you but by that time of the evening after a long weekend, 1 am beat. But the fruit had to be ::overed with boiling water and the mess cleaned up. Berries had a tendency to fall everywhere. When sister left she took with her at my insistence the rest of the berries, nearly half of what she brought with her. She is the same age 1 was when I made the 60 gallons of wine but she informed me that at my age 1 just can't keep up with her, That is what three years will do for you. The wine is quietly froth- ing as it works on the kitchen table and the aroma brings back memories of past sum - Blyth 4•H Eiect° officers The first meeting of Blyth I in the Needlepoint 4-H course was held Monday, September 17 at the home of Elva Brown, Each girl intro - ducted herself since Wanda Trener is a new leader and didn't know all of the names.

Registration Number 1319 YUMNSONZMAIMINNO I've got a secret As anyone who lives in a small town knows, it'shard to keep anything secret. If someone on a village council gets a payor f for installing parking meters along one main drag, people will soon hear about it, one way or another. In cities, that natural flow of . communications breaks down. Information may never get around --unless people make an effort --when so many live and work in different worlds. Office and home may be even further apart in attitudes to life than they are in miles. And when you get to the biggest organizations of people --to international corporations and national governments --secrecy turns into a fetish. Information doesn't get around at all. It stays in double -locked filing cabinets, on documents marked "Private", "Confidential" and "Secret", out of bounds to everyone without proper authorization. Any information that does get out, such as press releases or annual reports, is carefully checked by corporate vice-presidents and public relations officers to insure it says nothing more than it should. The former federal government's mania for secrecy even kept it from telling an engineer working on defence contracts that his security clearance had been lifted. So he didn't know he wasn't supposed to see the documents that he was eventually arrested for possessing. Some of them he had written himself. Others had been sent to him by different departments -which had not been informed of his revised status either. And cabinet ministers in that same government --to give them the benefit of the doubt --were appar ently kept in the dark about the activities of their own security forces. Granted, those are extreme examples. But they reveal a pervasive pattern of thinking, in which secrecy becomes a basic principle. Because big government and big business are engaged in a power struggle -with each other and within themselves -because when you know something that someone else doesn't—whether It's a current fact, a marketing trend, or a technological process -you're in a position of power. You have an advantage over someone who doesn't know. But at the same time, you degrade the other person. Secrecy reduces that other person from a fellow human to a threat to be wary about, if not an enemy to be destroyed. Tt at attitude sets corporate and governmental secrecy in contraJiction to some basic religious principles: that all humans are equally the children of God: that to despise or degrade others is wrong: that faith overcomes fearfulness and hostility. To be sure, religious bodies have long maintained some kinds of secrecy, too. But there is a significant difference between, say, the confidentiality of the confessional and the secrecy of business or government: one protects someone else, the other protects yourself. Before it was elected,the present Canadian government proclaimed the need for a freedom of information Act. It is to be hoped they will not succumb to the malaise of bigness and power, and will introduce legislation to cut secrecy down to size. For secrecy, in the end, always works against its owner. If you have no secrets to hide, you never need fear that they may be discovered and used against you.

Toronto skyline at night photo by Seeger Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Excitement in Newfoundland There's a new air of excitement in Newfoundland these days we're told. Even though the reports of the oil strike when announced last week were not as optimistic as the rumours Newfoundlanders for the first time in many years are feeling confident about the future. The easterners may finally have their day of glory after three decades of being nothing more than Newfie jokes. Despite the official statements on the oil find rumours persist that it may be the biggest find in Canadian history. Likewise people in Nova Scotia are also looking forward to good news from offshore drilling. People here in Ontario, long used to being the most prosperous part of Ontario are suddenly feeling a little left out. • If one takes the pronouncements of the Provincial government here in Ontario as indicative of the feelings of the people of the province, one gets the impression that Ontarians are not too thrilled at being left behind. We hear Premier Davis and members of the Cabinet lamenting regu- larly that Alberta should share the wealth just as Ontario did in years past. One can almost hear the gales of laughter echoing down from the West where for years they have felt that the odds were stacking in favour of the rich east and the easterners weren't about to change them to give their western brothers an even break. The switch in the economic geography of the country seems to be one. Peter C. Newman, editor of Maclean's Magazine said in an interview last week that Montreal is nothing but a branch office city instead of the once -powerful metropolis it once was. Even Toronto is losing to Calgary as the financial giant of the nation. As one of those from Ontario who's supposed to be getting left behind in the economic dust, I'm not at all in agreement with Premier Davis in his view that these are dark days (I haven't agreed with him on anything else so why start now.) While I'd hate to see Premier Lougheed turn Alberta into a country within a country, hoarding all the wealth to himself, I think it's in the best interests of the whole country that Edmonton and Calgary now are as import- ant in the economic scheme of things as Toronto and Montreal. If an east coast off -shore oil boom can do the same for St. John's then so much the better. As long as one area of the country has a huge advantage economically over another the country can never be strong. Petty jealousies and even hatred can brew when the havenots do without for long periods of time. Sharing the wealth is much better and not in terms of handouts from one province to another but in terms of natural cycles of economic history where one section of the country has the economic clout for a while and then another has it. As long as southern Ontario is the .ultural and economic leader of Canada the chances of the country developing a true identity are small. It takes only a glance at a map to show how little relation we in our part of the country have to the rest of Canada. We're a little island nearly completely surrounded by the U.S. The country as a while is northern although southern Ont- ario, so long the dominant section of the country, has little of the same climate as the rest of the nation. While Edmonton and Calgary have perhaps even stronger Amer- ican influence than Toronto, a shift to the north, away from the American border may help give Canadians a different outlook on their own country. Likewise Newfoundland with its unique culture can add a great deal to the country if the offshore oil strike give the province more economic influence in Canada. The prospect of momentum shifting away from the golden horseshoe are around Toronto should be welcomed by those concerned about preserving agri- cultural land. That land is Ontario's greatest asset. As long as we have the best farmland in the country we need never fear being a havenot province. Yet as long as urban growth continues we are under- mining that security by eating up the most precious resource, one that can't be replaced, If industry and business begin to locate in Edmonton, Calgary and St. John's because of the new economic realities of the nation it may do what farm groups and conservationists have failed to do, to save Ontario farmland from urban encroach- ment. Ontarians have no reason to resent the new prosperity that Alberta is enjoying and Newfoundland may have coming. We've had our turn at the top. Even if we're passed by there isn'st much doubt that things will still be prosperous enough here that we won't be on the dole. We hav too many things going for us in Ontario to become one of the poor provinces. We may not be the richest but we'll be far from the bottom of the heap even if Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia join Alberta in oil riches. Mr, Davis and others should stop grumbling and celebrate what may be the healthiest development in the country in this century.

Care prevents hunt accidents Once again the hunting season is here, Each year hunting accidents bring tragedy to many families, usually because the most simple rules have been broken. What can you do? -never consume, alcohol before or during a hunt. -know the identifying feat- ures of the game you intend to hunt. -Never shoot in the direct- ion of buildings or livestock, You cannot depend on the common sense of the hunter beside you --wear bright orange. The handling of firearms requires great care. The Ontario Provincial Police Force reminds you that there are several basic gun -handl- ing rules. 1. Always handle a gun as if it were loaded. 2. Never climb a tree or fence with a loaded firearm. 3. Always carry your gun so that you can control the direction of the muzzle, 4. Unload un- attended firearms. Few hunting deaths are accidents --they are usually caused by negligence. With some thought and care most of them could have been prevented. Don't be at either end of an "accident", use common sense measures and enjoy a safe hunting trip.

(News -Record Photo) PRESENTING THE MASTER PLAN — Norm Richards, district manager with the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) in Wingham presented Hullett Township reeve Joe Hunking with the Master Plan for the Hullett Wildlife Management area at a meeting held at the Hullett Maintenance building on Wednesday. Sugar&Spice writing that novel Every September, after a long summer vacation, several of my colleagues ask me, jeeringly, I'm afraid, "Well, did you write that novel?" or, "Did you polish off your play?" And every September, I have to come up with an excuse, "No 1 broke my pelvis sky diving," or, "I had it well in hand until the day I was out sailing we crashed into a 200 pound sturgeon, and I suffered a bad concussion." ' One gets pretty good at the instant retort, the swift riposte, after twenty -odd yearsof it. To tell the truth, "Well, uh, no, I spent the summer drinking beer and going to auction sales and swimming and cutting my toe -nails, and trimming the corn on the ball of my foot, and reading four hundred novels, and cooking up a storm of frozen dinners," would be out character. Because every June I swear to all and sundry that I'm going to turn out a piece of prose that will make Dylan Thomas, Ernest Hemingway, Mordechai Richler and Margaret Laurence wish they'd been born thirty years later. Some years it's going to be an autobiographical novel, with absolutely nothing held back. I warn my wife: "Can you take it, sweetie? There will be no holds barred. Everything exposed. The whole business down in black and white." She nods as she finished the dishes. Other years it's going to be a play that !xposes the whole rotten, corrupt, perverse, middle-class life of this country. The wet tea -bags in the sink, the un -made beds, the after breakfast martinis, the secret racism as we watch the Indians being decimated on the late -late show. But, somehow, after twenty years of this charade, I might as well face the fact that 1 am neither a Margaret Trudeau nor a Tennessee Williams. A new piece of fiction that is going to sell, must have certain ingredients: sex, drugs, violence, perversion. How can a guy write a red hot article when he has lived a practically pure life for a number of decades? How can a guy write explicit sex scenes about nipples hardening and the scream of an orgasm, when all he's seen for the last twenty years is a couple of robins having an affair in the backyard? How can a guy write about drugs when his nose is so many times fractured that he can't even smell onion -breath, let alone the sweet scent of marijuana on the air? How can a guy write about violence when the worst incident he has seen in years is one grandboy giving the other a cheap shot in the track when the other wasn't looking, knocked the other's head against the corner of the picnic table, and drawn blood and tears? It's not exactly Attila the Hun. How can a guy write about perversions when the only thing he's seen for years is a baby -girl bluejay trying to pretend she's a baby -boy bluejay? Or a hen-pecked husband trying to pretend, when his wife has gone to the john, that he's not Henry V111? No, I'm afraid you'll have to stick to TV, the movies, and Harlequin Romances, if - you want your favorite ingredients. 1 just don't seem to have any background upon which to draw. When my wife says to me, after a particularly brutal party of weekend, "How come you never have bags under your eyes, like me?" I merely answer the truth: "A clean heart and a pure mind, my dear." I must admit that after the thirtieth repetition of this little slogan, she emitted an unladylike remark. But it's the truth. It's not that 1 haven't had lots of experience. I went through a world -rending depression and ate potato skin hash and porridge soup, I went to work at 16, for thirty dollars a month, twelves hours.a day, seven days a week. I survived a war in which both sides were ..il..,, ..INf .1.6••Fi#L: •.4 Ntt. •.`.11 . .!•.,n!♦ rlt9,l ,.t., shooting at me, especially the British Navy. I was almost kicked to death by a German Feld webel, just because I'd stolen his pipe and tobacco. I ate mangels, and dra: nk rainwater in a prison camp. I spent a year in a T.B. sanatorium. I've survived thirty years of marriage, two rotten kids, and am still coping with two grandboys who are the most ingenious methods of torture since the Inquisition. 1 even graduated from a university , with honours, when they still had standards. I spent eleven years in the editorial chair of a newspaper, which has buried many a man. I have lived through, and thrived on, teaching teenagers, which has sent more people to an early grave than did the editorial chair. But still whenever I think of writing a searing play or a violent autobiography, 1 can't seem to put fingers to typewriter. I think I know what's wrong. I didn't hate my father. That seems to be what you need to get you going. Or, if you're Jewish, your mother. My father was a mild decent man. He didn't beat me. Indeed, he didn't pay mucl attention to me. My mother was loving, bu not overprotective. Darn it, why didn't have rotten parents like everybody else, si I could write a vicious, sexy, pervers. novel? ',in 41. .

When crop conditions aren't very good, we have to put on fat by eating the larvae of hornets, bumble- bees, termites and ants. Our thick fur, which is character-' istic of the fall and winter coat of raccoon, protects us from the stings of irate adult yellow jackets or bumble- bees. During the winter, rac- coons do not hibernate, but merely become inactive. At times we will seek out available food such as winter -killed deer, muskrats trapped in their lodges, and even seeds from bird feed- ers. For the early winter, we stay denned up during below receptive female, he will move into her den and stay with her for 1-2 weeks before mating occurs, He then leaves and goes his own way.

Weavers enjoy • workshop The Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers Guild held a workshop on the farm of Mary McLeod near Seaforth. Mrs. McLeod and Dorene Kilburn of St. Paul's Station instructed six members of the guild in the ancient art of card weaving. At one time the art seemed lost forever and archeologists were puzzled by finds of square flat objects made of pottery, leather or wood %'•;th from two to four holes i. t►, the corners. However, in 1890, Margareth Lehman, a German researcher experimented with the objects until she fi and that it was used for the weaving of sturdy bands. Once this was established, it was published in a German magazine and from all parts of the world came word that in their respective countries this art was known. It is one of the oldest weaving practises, for bands that could have been made with the cards have been found in Egypt dating from 800 BC. 0$ON TOGETRigpr for the FIRST 3juron&pnsitor Brussels Post the standard Your Recipe Could be Worth $2.00 1 St;Mi #42/ Ir $2 will be awarded to the first 20 irecipes drawn from those received before Wednesday, October 24! n you're whistling in the dark. it you haven't had your blood pressure checked lately.

He doesn't lay down a formula Strength for living for living and then say, "Figure it out for yourself," Psalm 46 reminds us that God is "our refuge and strength," If that is so, then all we need do, in order to have His help in living this life, is pray.

The goals of the Hullett Wildlife Management Area as listed in the Master Plan is to manage the area's re- sources in such a way as to provide opportunities for high quality, wildlife -based, day -use, recreational experi- ences for the people of Ontario. And within this goal, the specific objectives are: to manage the area for a range of benefits to wildlife; to provide public hunting opportunities; to provide other resource-based recre- ational opportunities; to pro- vide other resource-based opportunities consistent with the above and to manage forests within the area for production of wood products when consistent with the goal.

The answer isn't well known by either farmers or lawyers. Too often the matter is left until the closing date, then it's too late to have the assumption approved in time to finalize the deal. The assuming farmer must complete an assumption ap- plication which is available from the County Agricultural offices. It requires standard financial information - net worth, income and expenses for the past year, a projected income and expenses for a typical year and a list of liabilities and annual pay- ments. Next on the agenda is an appointment with a staff member. 'i'he application is' then on its way to Toronto where a committee is usually pretty co-operative if the assumption is by a practicing farmer. Morris discusses arena The signing of the agreement between Morris and East Wawanosh councils regard- ing the Belgrave Community Centre resulted in a lot of discussion when Morris Township Council held its regular meeting on Tuesday afternoon. One of the main concerns of Morris council members was a sentence stating that the agreement could not be dissolved unless both councils agreed to sign to dissolve it. Morris also thought there should be an addition to one sentence in the agreement that stated that the two councils would divide any deficit 50-50, Some of the council members didn't like the idea of guarantee- ing to pay the deficit no matter what the circumstances. They thought that if the Community Centre Board knew they were going to have a deficit they should inform council members of it beforehand. It was finally decided by council that Morris council would meet with members of the East Wawanosh council to talk over the agreement. In a discussion on previous meeting minutes, council rescinded a motion due to the fact that the application for a severance in the name of Keith and Bonnie Pletch was withdrawn by Mr. Pletch's solicitor Bob Campbell and re -submitted in the name of Sam and Thelma Pletch at the Land Division Hearing. Also in connection with the Pletch subdivision, council received a letter from Burns Ross engineers stating several things that still had to be done in the subdivision before the roads would be up to MTC standards. Morris council had agreed to take over the roads in the subdivision only after they had been brought up to MTC standards. Council also discussed the new provisional equalization assessment proposal which has not yet been made law. The new assess- ments had been discussed at County Council and Reeve Bill Elston said the rural municipalities whose assessment would be increased two or three times were upset. Morris Township had the second highest assessment, Under the new system Morris' taxation would be as follows: In secondary education their 1979 actual apportioned requirement was $84,320. Had the Provincial Equalizing Factor (PEF) been used, the 1979 apportioned requirement would be $119,568. That represents an increase of $35,248 or 41.80 pei cent. - In elementary education the actual 1979 apportioned requirement was $98,511 com- pared with $140,480 if the PEF had been used. That would mean an increase of $41,969 or 42.60 per cent. The County apportionment for the actual 1979 General and Highway Requisition was $75,683 but if the PEF were in effect it would be $94,301. That represents an increase of $18,618 or 24.6 per cent, Reeve Elston also told the other council members about the results of the Walton library meeting which included a better way to heat the old library and to look into building a new library. Council made a motion that Deputy Reeve Tom Miller should look into the operation and heating of the library and take whatever steps necessary to ensure the satisfactory oper- ation of the library until a permanent solution was found to the problems.

Motet 20 - THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 26, 1979 Ontario Hydro head Calls nuclear power safe BY DEBBIE RANNEY The controversial topic of nuclear power and its safety provided the background for speeches by Ontario Hydro Chairman Hugh Macaulay, and W.G. Morrison, Director of Design and Development at Ontario Hydro, when Brussels hosted the Ontario Municipal Electric Associ- ation's (OMEA) annual meeting on Thursday. Mr. Macaulay said it's very fortunate that, "we have the competent people we do in the elec':Ical sys- tem. We have a unique system in Ontario. It works and it works well." He added that the amount of local autonomy and self- determination where hydro is concerned made the system unique in the world. He said the hearings that have been taking place in regard to nuclear safety were a good thing. "It's a good thing for you and for us because the people of Ontario have a way of being informed that they would never get any other way." :-Ie said they (Ontario Hydro) liked that kind of happening because they want to make better decis- ions for t' peel lc of Ont- ario. M; M. ccaulay then made some points ao' :t nocicar power. "When we're talking about whether or not it's safe, remember that when you get away from the safety side of nuclear, that you have Money F s each planting season occurs, considerable stress is placed on the importance of planting the corn crop at tilt. proper time. Yield losses as the planting date grows later are well documented, Unfortunately, there are many other factors that can affect yield besides planting date. In 1979 numerous farmers suffered severe da- mage in their corn fields from cutworms. This was unexpected since cutworms are generally not a problem, In most cases damage was well advanced before the problem was noticed, Re- gular inspections of corn fields would have provided earlier detection and an opportunity for control measures, Cornfields should also be inspected regularly through- out the season to determine what weeds have escaped the weed control program. We frequently get questions in January and February re- garding the identification of a weed. It's difficult to identify from a description -- it's much easier if we can see the weed. And 'if necessary we'll send it on for indentification. First, i dentify your weed, then determine if it is sus- pectible to the herbicides that you used. If not, make a note to take remedial action next year. Publication No . 505, "Weeds in Ontario", is an excellent guide to weed identification. It can be pur- chased from Information Branch, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Toronto, for $2.50. to phrase questions related to nuclear, compared to other things." "The thing that keeps coming home to me is let's pursue all of the alternatives available to us," he said, "He said, "The thing you've got to remember is it's here, it's now and that tomorrow morning a lot of switches are going to be switched on, and a lot of factories are going to be running," "Until we have some alter- natives, factories have to function, people have to make a living. 1 don't think we in Ontario Hydro are .doing a good enough job of making people understand the alternatives here and now, "Our nuclear power is the bridge -to the future," he said. Bill Morrison also moke on the nuclear energy situation and the newspaper articles which he said were not all favorable. He said one of the reasons for this is because we live next to the U.S. where they have a very strongly organ- ized anti-nuclear organi- zation that the nuclear plants get very poor support from the government, and that there had been a rapid rise in costs. He said that these kind of things had brought the nuc- lear industry in the States to a standstill. "We have to be careful that that doesn't happen to Ontario," he said, "When you look at nuclear plants, they seem to be less risk to the public than coal," he said, pointing out that it's dangerous to go down in the mines and transportation of coal does lead to hazards in the air the public breathes. He said that people are critical of licencing require- ments for the nuclear plants visualizing that these plants have potential disasters in them. He said he thought that comes from the scare from Three Mile Island and he didn't want to down -grade its seriousness but that it could have been avoided by better designing of the plant, better training for their oper- ators and by making sure the plant was designed to cope Custom Apple Pressing (for cider) CALL • C. G. Seeger 529-7514 After six Auburn with the failure of equipment and human error, "We're quite confident that there'll never be a disaster with our plants. There could be accidents but we believe we won't have a disaster," he said, "The release from nuclear stations of radioactivity dur- ing normal operation is extremely small. We feel our nuclear plants are very safe and we're doing our best to convey that to the public and to the people who will listen to us," Mr. Morrison said. David Armour, President of the Electrical and Elec- tronic Manufacturers Associ- ation of Canada also spoke at the meeting and expressed disappointment that not enough attention had been paid to electricity as an energy alternative to oil and gas, "We've got to get our suggestion across to the pub- lic that there is a real opportunity to substitute electricity in the future energy scene," he said. 0000""stovf/:( BIG MEAT VALUES Schneiders 1/4 Ib.
