attractive prospect. And we
want to work with industries
to find practical and cost-
effective applications for
using Bruce steam within
their individual operat ions."
Ontario Hydro estimates
construction of the second
stage • pipeline and
distribution system will cost
$14.7 million, calculated on
an as -spent basis.
The financing of the
second stage pipeline and
distribution system has
already received Cabinet
approval, Energy Minister'
Robert Welch announced.
The money will come from
the province's Board of
Industrial Leadership and
Development (BILD)
program.
The same BILD program
last year provided $1.2
million, the full cost of
oversizing the first stage of
the steam pipeline which
was laid to the power
development's maintenance
facility.
The cost of the transfer of
assets from BEC DevCo and
the Ontario Energy Cor-
poration to Ontario Hydro
was $2/.2 million.
Both Energy Minister
Welch and Mr. Nastich said
they hoped the second stage
of the pipeline could be built
by the fall of 1984, but con-
struction, they said, will
depend upon the response of
private developers.
Once all eight "giant
reactors" at the Bruce plant
are in operation by 1987, said
the energy minister, the total
quantity of steam produced
will be a million tons per
day.
"I don't know what that
means," Mr. Welch said,
"but I've been told one
million tons of steam
generated daily is the heat
equivalent of 300,000 barrels
of crude oil per day. And that
is twice the rate off
production of the Shell-
Alsands project in the
western part of our coun-
try"
Hydro president Milan
Nastich sees the project as
being_ beneficial to both
developers and Ontario's
power consumers.
"Hydro has always been
supportive of the project and
we're pleased to be taking a
more active role in it now,"
he said during the morning
press conference at the
Bruce site.
"Our involvement in the
Bruce Energy Centre fits
perfectly into our new
corporate strategy for the
1980s."
Part of the strategy, he
said, "calls for developing
our entrepreneurial talents
— diversifying into areas
related to the business of
electricity."
"Like selling Cobalt -60
from our nuclear units or the
consulting skills of Hydro's
staff," said Mr. Nastich,
"selling steam from Bruce
means that we can squeeze a
little extra revenue out of our
existing assets. And that
means a better bargain for
the electricity consumer in
Ontario."
Hydro's president and
interim chairman also
assured those at the lun-
cheon that Hydro has always
been concerned about em -
1
ployment in the area and will
do everything it can to offset
the problems which will be
caused by construction
layoffs at the Bruce plant.
Representing the seven
investors of the Bruce
Energy Centre Development
Corporation, chairman of the
corporation and the
president of the Ontario
Energy Corporation,
Malcolm Rowan said a great
deal has been accomplished
since 1977 when the Bruce
Agripark was first con-
ceived.
"Land has been assembled
for future development with
a significant amount already
rezoned for industrial uses,"
he said.
"A steam use survey has
been undertaken with ex-
tensive contacts being made
with industrial and
agricultural users.
"A successful -greenhouse
demonstration has been
undertaken, confirming that
high yield greenhouse food
production is possible under
the Bruce County climatic
conditions.
"Engineering studies on
all aspects of this major
development, including land
use, rail access, roads,
water, sewage, etc., have
been completed.
"Financing for the steam
pipeline has been arranged
through the BILD program.
And a harbor study has been
initiated."
Mr. Rowan said all of the
information and data
developed to date is being
made available to Hydro,
"information that I am sure
Hydro will find invaluable as

it continues with the
development of a world-class
energy centre."
While the mood of Hydro and
government officials could
be described as one of
cautious optimism, many of
those attending the luncheon
appeared to take a more
wait-and-see attitude.
"I'll believe it when I see
the shovels in the ground,"
was an often repeated
remark.
Recognized
At the luncheon ceremony
honoring the pioneering
efforts of those individuals
and organizatiois involved
in the development of the
Bruce Energy concept, Mr.
Welch presented plaques of
appreciation to: Anderson
Flax Products Limited, The
Consumers' Gas Company,
MacNaughton Planning
Consultants Limited,
Resolute Development
Corporation, TransCanada
PipeLines Limited, Weston
Energy Resources and the
Ontario Energy Corporation.
Besides Mr. Welch, Mr.
Nastich and Mr. Rowan and
Reeve MacKenzie head table
guests included Bruce
County Warden Jack
Cumming, the deputy
minister of energy, Glenn
Thompson who chaired the
luncheon; Bruce -Grey MP
Dr. Gary Gurbin, Huron—
Bruce MPP Murray Elston
and Rev. James Reed of the
United Church.
Farmers

program "the biggest snow
job ever put onto farmers in
this province."
Bill Jongejan of Goderich
Township, vice president of
the Christian Farmers,
noted, "Our federation has
been advocating the removal
of education taxes from
property tax for years.
Education tax is a people
tax; it should be gathered in
other ways."
He strongly urged the
Huron Federation of
Agriculture to join forces
with the Christian Farmers
in continued opposition to the
100 per cent rebate scheme.
During an open -floor
discussion, Doug Garniss of
Morris Township voiced
support for the 100 per cent
rebate. "I don't feel that
farmers have been getting a
share of the economic pie,"
he explained.
However hundreds of other
men and women at the
meeting clearly showed their
opposition to the proposal.
The extra $20 million which
would flow to the farming
community under the new
program did not win their
favor. Instead, the majority
voted to continue the present
50 per cent rebate, which
returns $65 million annually
to farmers in taxes paid on
productive land, buildings
and homes.
Huron federation member
George Underwood, chair-
man of a task force studying
the issue, stressed, "We are
convinced that there are
other methods we can pro-
pose that will be acceptable
to more farmers."

WONDEROUS COW -Snowball, a Shorthorn -Holstein cross cow owned by John
and Kevin Johnston of Jamestown, performed a miraculous feat recently by deliver-
ing two calves— a week apart. The two calves, both healthy and strong, are a male
and a female and have all the markings of their Hereford father. The eldest` calf,
Esther, was born Easter Monday and her brother, Peter, was born April 1 1.
Wonder cow
'Snowball' gives birth to
twin calves a week apart
Snowball, a Shorthorn -
Holstein cross cow, owned by
John and Kevin Johnston of
Jamestown, recently made
cow history when she gave
birth to twin calves — a week
apart!
The likelihood of such an
occurence is a *Ilion to one,
according to Wingham
veterinarian Stewart Leed-
ham. If it did happen,
he said he would expect to
have one dead calf and an
extremely sick cow. But
Snowball is no worse for the
wear and she has two
healthy cows to boot.
The first calf, a female,
was born Easter Monday in a
routine birth for 10 -year-old
Snowball. If the cow still was
big after delivering the calf,
Mr. Johnston said he never
noticed because she's a big
cow anyway.
Everything was pro-
gressing nicely until last
Monday. when Mrs. Johnston
phoned her husband at their
other farm and told him
Snowball had just given birth
to another calf. Mr. Johnston
dismissed the idea as ab-
surd, but lo and behold, when
he returned home, Snowball

was there with another calf,
a male.
Mr. Johnston is the first to
shake his head in
amazement at the miracu-
lous births, but he's not
complaining: with the price
of calves these days, he has
just doubled his profits.
As of last Friday,
Snowball, Esther (named
after the Easter holiday) and
Peter all were doing well.
The two calves have the
'markings of their Hereford
father George, another
Johnston herd member.
Snowball, who always has
been a good milker, is
feeding both calves with
ease, and Mr. Johnston
reported they are very close
to the same size.
Before the twin calves
were born, Mr. Johnston said
he had considered selling
