Tickets are available at Denomme's Flowers, Goderich, or from executive members. Dr. Hart Benner, B.Sc., Ph.D., Physics, is chairman of the Physics Department at Wilfrid Laurier University. He has been a Pro Life activist from the very beginning when the law changed in 1969, opening the door to abortion on demand. He picketed Morgantaler's first abortion clinic when it opened in Montreal. As well he picketed the Niagara General Hospital for 14 weeks on the days that abortions were performed by Dr. Ken Walker, resulting in an audience with the City Council and the Hospital Board. In 1972, Dr. and Mrs. Bezner made a presentation to the Ontario Medical Association when they were conducting hearings across the Province. They focused on how the medical profession was involved in abortion. Dr. Bezner is a lecturer and author. He has written a paper on "Social Justice vs Personal Freedom". The paper researches how the law protects the individual against the personal freedom of others and how society's value system affects the protection of the law. When the Goderich and District Pro Life Group formed in 1973, Dr. Bezner was its first public speaker, attracting a full house, Dr. Hart Bezltly6r including 90 per cent of the pI$sicians. Once again, he will be in Gaderich to -mark thihse grouptalkwill be's 10th"Reflections". anniversary and the title of Tile funds re -allocated to go where need is greatest. TORONTO - Provincial funds to help farmers install tile drainage systems in their fields are being re -allocated to go where the need is greatest, William Doyle, assistant deputy minister of Agriculture and Food, announced today. "The ministry is transferring tile drainage funds from municipalities that are not going to use up their current allocations, pumping them into areas where there are farmers waiting to have this work done," Doyle said. This could mean up to $30.,000 each to 140 municipalities, he noted. Each year, the ministry allocates funds to municipalities under the Ontario Tile Drainage Act which they, in turn, loan to local farmers for drainage projects. "The ministry is today notifying the municipal clerks involved of the changes in these financial arrangements," Doyle said. Farmers who have been waiting to pro- ceed with tile drainage projects should check with their 'municipal clerks regarding the availability ofadditional funds. Studies have shown that tile drainage in- creases crop yields up to -50 per cent and that each dollar invested in tile drainage brings a return of $18. NSU continues to build "The National Farmers Union continues to build in Ontario," says Marie Bright, Region 3 (Ontario) Co-ordinator for the N.F.U. The National Farmers Union is a volun- tary farm organization that depends en- tirely upon the fees of its members to re- main in existence. Bright says, "The $100 annual membership is one of the best evaluation tools any organization can have; farmers sure don't mind telling you what you're doing wrong or right when you have to collect that $100 each year." The N.F.U. has and will in the future, take a stand against compulsory check - offs of 'any sort that are directed to a farm organization. "We believe," says Bright, "that farmers recognize the need for a farm organization that has the ability and backbone to represent them at all"evels of government and the. National Farmers Union certainly has a record of represen- ting its members." Members say N.F.U. is a grass roots organization with embers meeting, discussing policy and setting directions. Resolutions carried at a local meeting are then carried to district and then regional meetings. Resolutions carried by a regional meeting (provincial) will be heard at the National Convention, and resolutiore carried at the National Con- vention btcome the policy of the N.F.U. Raye Anne Briscoe, National Board member from Renfrew County, states, "As a loyal Union member, I can assure individual farmers that their voice will be heard, not only in their local area, but across the country." Farmers interested in joining the N.F.U. should c9ntact the Regional Office, 5 Douglas Street, Guelph, Ontario, NIH 2S8 or call ( 519)836-2515. NFU wants national meat marketing agency "Farmers are begin,,,,ig to realize that piecemeal solutions are not the answer to their problems in meat marketing," Marie Bright, Regional Co-ordinator of the Na- tional Farmers Union said recently from Campbellford, Ontario. Having turned down the Ontario Cat- tlemen's' Association compulsory check -off proposal on the provincial vote, farmers are looking for long term solutions to the dilem- ma of the marketing of beef. Mrs. Bright said, "The only answer, in my opinion, that will solve the problem in the in- dustry, is orderly marketing and supply management. It is time now for farm organizations to work as a unified front on governments, both provincial and federal, towards the establishment of a national meat marketing agency." The Honorable Dennis Tirnbrell, Agricultural Minister for Ontario, stated recently, "The only thing, that will keep farmers on the land is a better price for their product" - and that is reality.

Ontario Hydr news HYDRO ESTIMATES PICKERING REPAIR BILI. Repair costs to Unit 2 at the Pickering A nuclear generating station, shut down since August 1, could mean up to six cents a month more for customers on the typical 1985 hydro bill. Hydro financial analysts say 1985 is the earliest that repair costs could affect power rates, adding that ,the impact could be less on the monthly bill if the costs are spread over several years. The repair estimate assumes a four- month shut -down of the reactor and in- cludes the cost of producing replacement power from more expensive coal-fired generation. Unit 2 was taken out of service when damage to one of the reactor's 390 pressure tubes caused a heavy water leak inside the reactor vault. During 1982, the cost of producing elec- tricity from Pickering was $125 million less than it would have been to produce power from an equivalent coal-fired sta- tion. ELECTRICITY DEMAND Peak electricity demand for Ontario in August was an estimated 15 million kilowatts, an increase of 9.6 per cent from the August 1982 peak. The peak demand was about four per cent higher than forecast due mainly to August's hot weather. Ontario's energy consumption was also up. About 8.7 billion kilowatt-hours of ele tricity were used in August, an increase 12.9 per cent from the 7.7 billion kilowa hours used in August of 1982. EXPORT SALES Electricity exports to the U.S. in Au t amounted to more than one bil n kilowatt-hours, an increase of 5.5 per nt from the August, 1982 sales. The power exports earned Ontario c- tricity customers almost $13.5 million. OEB RELEASES RATE REPORT The Ontario Energy Board has relom- mended Ontario Hydro increas its wholesale power rates by an average 6.3 per for Hydrocent, in its1984. submission to the boa and during public hearings last sprin had proposed a 9.75 per cent increase. Hydro is studying the OEB ort, released August 31, and is expec d to decide on the rate increase in Octo SIMULATOR CONTRACT AWARDED FOR BRUCE B An $11.5 inillion contract ha been awarded to CAE Electronics Ltd. to ' d a full scale training simulator for th ruse B generating station.
