The Goderich Signal-Star, 1972-10-12, Page 26PAGE 1 A, 00gRI 'H SIGNAL,STAR. THURSDAY, OCTQ)3P ''. 1972 V I Reactor assembly number two for Ontario Hydro's Bruce Generating Station arrived at the Bruce Nuclear Power Development Thursday. The first of four nuclear reactors arrived on May 8 of this Year. Similar to the initial assembly, the second 650 ton reactor was built by Canadian Vickers Limited and Dominion Bridge Company Limited in Montreal and arrived at the site via the St. Lawrence -Seaway and the Great Lakes. The assembly left Montreal on Wednesday, September 27th. Upon arrival; the reactor was moved to Reactor Building No. 1, via a dual rail system. Early in 1973, the unit will be moved inside the Reactor Building where work will start on installation. The 3,200,000 kilowatt 'nuclear station is expected to be in full' operation by 1979.

Professor Pearson helped prepare the plan (Program 572) • for the Georgian Bay Regional Development. Council. He was referring to the provincial gover- ,nment's brief presented last month in ' Barrie called Design for Development. He was in Owen Sound to ad- dress ` a private meeting Wed- nesday night of Owen Sound city council. Both the public and the media were barred from the meeting. A public meeting will' be held tonight, Wednesday, Oc- tober 11, at 7:30 at the Walker- ton District Secondary School. However, Professor Pearson supported . the concept of the private meeting because he felt it provided council with the necessary information to decide policy. In addition, he stated that meetings between the cabinet and the deputy - ministers were often held in secret The government's brief suggested three alternatives:: concentrating development in the centre of the region; concen- trating development in several large centres; dispersing development into many small centres. He opted for the second proposal because, "we can't reinforce every area." He suggested that planners have to pick out selected. centres for development. The Georgian Bay Region is composed of a central part, mostly Dufferin and Simcoe Counties, and two "wings" . • In the western part, one wing comprises Grey and Bruce Counties and in the east, the Districts of Muskoka and. Parry Sound. Another thing, he suggested, would be to pick out subor- dinate centres: For example, Port Elgin, and Southampton might be treated as one com- munity. Agricultural centres such as 'D* rham could be directed into a _ light industry such asproviding surrounding area. He charged that the Toronto centred region would- have ,a "strong effect" on the region. a He is disappointed with the provincial government for its treatment of the municipalities because not enough > time was allowed to prepare responses to the Design for Development. The government has not given the municipalities time to' promote and prepare for public zneetings about the plan, he said. • If there were enough time, he said a public meeting is "great." "It takes two or three weeks to get a public meeting properly organized so it is not a shouting match. Another suggestion the professor made was that the federal and provincial. govern- ments work more closely together to promote sound regional planning. "If you go to Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, (frontier • regions), you will find joint federal -provincial programs where some way has been ' found of financing respec- table planning operation," he explained. He said somewhat the same thing might be an answer to the problems of the Georgian Bay Region since it is one of the poorest of the 10 regions in Ontario. is more what and is what. province as a an outside con - Professor Pear- Bluewater Radio Club holds meeting The October meeting of the Bluewater Radio Club was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs..

Since the last meeting, the club_has lost one of its older members, Mait Wilson, VE3LS, of Exeter. In memory of its Silent Key, a minute's silence was observed by the membership. A report of club activities was given by Fred Bisset, VE3AIU, president.

Membership now totals 24, in- cluding two white-caners, and a certificate has been designed for issuance to the members. A lunch was served by Mrs. McMichael whose son, Glenn, is the club's secretary -treasurer, and a vote of thanks'was exten- ded to the hostess by Mr. S.E. Malins, of Goderich Township.

A total of 8,991 out of some 12,000 members of C.U.P.E. cast ballots in the vote. Ontario Hydro public relations officer Dog White of the Bruce Nuclear Power Development told the News that Hydro was very disappointed. "We felt the three-year offer was fair and reasonable", said Mr. White. He added that Hydro could not accept the demands made by the union on September 22. "There's no immediate solution," he said. "They must be prepared to stay on strike." .One of the union's chief Stewards, C.W. Mann of , Huron Terrace, Kincardine, told the News the results were as he expec- ted. He said a DepaMtment of Labour official, K. Burkett, was present when the vote was counted. The information was passed on .to William Dickie of the Department of Labour who has been acting as a mediator. • "It was tight!" said Mr. Mann, "but it's a valid majority on both questions". - Mr. Mann said he could not explain why almost a quarter of the union's membership did 'not vote.

The second part of the ballot was to be considered as an opinion poll only, on the Mutual . Protection Clause, which is non-negotiable because of Union's constitution. Chuck Mann, Chief Steward for the Douglas Point Generating Station, and Acting Divisional Chairman of the O.H.E.U., stated Thursday that he expected a strong rejection vote from this area because of the favourable response.from members that afternoon and evening at the meetings: He added, that in his. opinion, "the rejection ballot was the only type of vote that could have been possible under the circumstances, and that Management would ' have to < ' a members aga�fnst.
