ship member of the Huron Bruce
Farmers- Negotiating Committee
said that the Ontario government
apparently backs Ontario Hydro
in feeling that the Hydro route
involves'the least possible disrup-
tion on the county as a whole.
`Now I disagree,' Mr. Whyte
said. 'They maintain that agricul-
ture is only one of many criteria
that establish where the power
lines' should go. But we are
'naturally concerned with agriCtil
ture more than with -recreation or
other land uses.'
Mr. Whyte said that he wasn't
really surprised at the expropria-
tion announcement. 'Some of
these things are too far along to
be reversed now,' he said.

at advance polls. Does this mean
then the majority of , people are
not as apathetic about the July
8th election as, at times, it has
appeared? Will the voting on
election day be heavier than
usual? Perhaps, even in the
frantic electioneering of all
parties, Canadians have been
able to get things sorted out in
their own minds and are ready to
do what they consider best for
their country.

The Brussels plan is moving
closer to its finished shape.
Officials from Grey and Morris
Townships vocally approved the
proposed plan for Brussels at a
meeting last Wednesday.
The purpose of the meeting,
according to assistant county
planner, Nick Hill, was to give the
surrounding municipalities a
change to see how the plan may
affect them. The reeve and
deputy reeve of Morris and
deputy reeve of Grey plus
councillors from both townships
studied the plan and raised no
objections to it.
Mr. Hill said those attending
the meeting felt Brussels should
remain the main urban area
providing compunity services to
the surrounditig rural area.
While the officials did not
object to the plan, they mentioned
the houses which havespilled into
their own municipalities from the
village. They suggested that
