proximate y $80,000 to retain
experts and • a six-month
delay of hearings into
Ontario Hydro's proposed
Southwestern Ontario
transmission line has been
turned down by. -the Con-
solidated Hearings Board.
The board turned down the
request in a ' 15 minute
statement made on Wed-
nesday, January 27, by
chairman B.E. Smith. The
request was made by the
Ontario Coalition to
Preserve Foodlands.
In his statement, Mr.
Smith said to award costs
now, prior to the start of the
hearings "is prethature".
The request asked for the
costs to be awarded against
either Ontario Hydro or the
Ministry of the Environ-
ment.
Mr: Smith said it is "unfair
to expose a party to such an
order" before the hearings
commenced.
Part of the request, asking
that if the funding was
turned down the board hire
experts, was also rejected.
Mr. Smith said if evidence is
lacking, the board will obtain
the evidence it requires

The president of . the
coalition, Elbert Van-
donkersgoed, said he would
be talking to representatives
of the group and also
members of the recently
formed ed hoc foodland-
.hydro committee regarding
the board's decision.
On the first day of the
hearings, the board heard
submissions from the
coalition's legal counsel
coalition's counsel
Robert Tlmberg of the
Canadian Environmental
Law Association and Bruce
Campbell, a lawyer for
hydro.
It came down to the
question of whether or not
the bogrd has the authority
to award costs, with Mr.
Timberg citing cases of
precedent and Mr. Campbell
saying in all cases to his
knowledge, costs were
awarded at the end' of each
case.
Speaking in favour of
adjourning the hearings ftr
six months, Mr. Tlmberg
said money awarded would
be used to hire four experts.

Dairy heifer housing
car tour
On Thursday, February 25,
a car tour has been planned
in the Woodstock area to
explore alternatives for
housing dairy replacements.
I'm sure dairy producers
who are considering alter-
native housing for heifers
would find this tour very
worthwhile.
Any Huron County

attend may drive direct, or
call our local Agricultural
Office, Clinton, 482-3428 or

"Blaming hens and cows
for degenerative disease is
like blaming the iceberg that
was minding its own
business for sinking the
Titanic."
Few medical men will go
out on a limb these days but
Dr. Gifforil-Jones, the
outspoken columnist who
writes The Doctor Game for
daily newspapers, made that
blunt statement at the an-
nual meeting of the
province's milk producers
last month.
Eggs and dairy products
are not the culprits, he
declared. Some researchers
from multi -national com-
panies have preached the
cholesterol -heart disease
theory with missionary zeal
and the public has been led
astray by simplistic theory
that omits much of the story,
he said.
And he threw in a few
statistics to back up his
argument: For example, 80
percent of coronary heart
disease victims have normal
cholesterol levels. In 1930,
coronary heart disease was
so rare, a specialist. was
needed to diagnose. Hens
and cows were not causing
heart disease during •the.
hundreds of years prior to
1930and they are not causing
it now.
Populations consuming
high levels of saturated fats
but not' dying of heart
disease were cited by Dr.
Gifford -Jones, as well as'
others eating high levels of
1.,4•s art .pp.•
polyunsaturated fats with a
high incidence of . hear
disease.
If he had to pick one cause
above all others, for heart
problems, he said, it would
be obesity. To be obese is to
be ill because . obesity in-
creases the chances of
developing other diseases
such as heart disease,
various types of cancer,
atherosclerosis and
diabetes.
No one is .happier to hear
these statements than I am.
Dairy farmers would all be
multi -millionaires if
everyone drank as much
milk and ate as much butter
as I do. Nothing tastes as
good to me as a piece of
bread smeared with butter
and honey with a glass of
tool, refreshing milk.
Everything's better with
butter; it's one of the good
things in life.
See, you fello cs,' Your
advertising campaigns have
paid off. Maybe not $10 -
million worth, mind you, but
if I can- remember the
slogans,anybody can, since I
don't wL tch much television
these days: I humbly suggest',.
you could spend more money
in newspapers but I might be
prejudiced.
One of the most effective
advertisements I've ever
seen was the one where the
ingredients of butter were
listed side-by-side with
ingredients of margarine.
The margarine contents
were as long as a wet week.
b,
04
..4a or lob Tomo, Woke AA [i.,... O.., N31 26
Butter contained only milk
t and salt.
I think Dr. Gifford -Jones is
, right. He told the dairy
farmers that children start
the day with sugarcoated
cereals and Danish pastries,
go to school and have soft
drinks laden with sugar,
smoke at an early age and"
look•
at TV for hours on end.
"People cannot continue
with a faulty lifestyle, add a
few polyunsaturdated fats
and think all is well," he
said.
It would be he:,rtening to
see all this promotion and
advertising spent by the
provincial boards and . the
dairy bureau pay off.
Members were told, though,
that the advertising will not
do much more than just keep
the levels of. consumption
about the same. Sales may
not increase.
The industry will be "very,
very fortunate" if it can
simply hold fluid milk sales
steady, said Ken McKinnon,
chairmanof the Ontario
board. Heavens! If it takes
$10 million t� hold the
market, how much will it
take to get a bigger piece of
it?
The Ontario board will
give top priority to luring
teenagers into drinking milk.
A right good idea I say.
Better to drink milk than
sugary colas or beer.
And dairy farmers should
be grateful .that. at least one
medical. man is ready to
stand up and be counted.
