Ontario Hydro was in the midst of starting to acquire King and Whitchurch-Stouff- ville. land for the 500 kilo- volt line two years ago when p-ublic protests caused the provincial government to stop Hydro. Delays in con- struction of the corridor threaten Southern Ontario with power shortages and high power costs. Pu‘blic Inquiry Commis- sioner Dr. Omond Soland't outlined his recommenda- tions for the 97-mile $300,- 000,000 power transmission corridor at a press conference Friday at Queen's Park, To- ronto. His report was tabled earlier in the Legislature Solandt Picks Langstaff Power Corridor An 18-month provincial public inquiry has resulted in a recommendation to Provincial Re- sources Development Secretary Allan Grossman that Ontario Hydro’s biggest electric power cor- ridor (from Nanticoke to Pickering) be placed within the proposed Parkway Belt across Mark- ham and Vaughan Towns here. This would be instead of across King Township, Newmarket and Whitchurch-Stouffville Towns as was previously intended. The rou¢e proposed by the former Canada Science Coun- cil chairman follows the Parkway Belt proposed last year by the provincial go- Where does a girl or wo- man turn when faced with an unwanted pregnancy? This is a question that will be dis- cussed at a public meeting at 7:30 pm Sunday in the parish hall of St. Mary Immaculate Roman Catholic Church. Yonge Street North, Rich- mond Hill. Louise Summerhill Guest Speaker The speaker will be Louise Summerhill. author of "The Story of Birthright", who called a meeting of interested people in January 1968 which led to the founding of “Birth- right" in October of that year. “Birthright” Rally Sunday St. Mary's Catholic Church Born in Scotland, Mrs. Summerhiil came to Canada with her parents at the age of seven. Married at the age of 20 she became the mother of seven children_ attended extension classes at St. Michael’s University in To- ronto and received a diploma in theology and in catache- tics. She is a convert to R0- man Catholicism. Mrs. Summerhill became interested in the abortion problem and studied the sub- ject. Realizing how much help was given to girls who wanted abortions, she decided to set up a program that would give help to those who wanted to have their babies. ‘Birthright", a non-sectar- ian, non-militant volunteer organization, although onb' five years old, has spread throughout Canada, the Unit- ed States. England, New Zea- land and Australia, totalling 256 chartered Birthright cen- tres. Mrs. Summerhill's ap- proach is to offer practical assistance and support to pregnant women in distress. There is a secret provincial government report on the threat of underground water pollution here due to development on the Oak Ridges Moraine, this newspaper has learned. Most municipal water supplied here in South- ern York Region comes from wells. It is said the Oak Ridges Moraine watershed is consid- ered to be an area of provincial concern. As shown above, the Moraine covers most of the northwest one-third of Richmond Hill and the northeastern one-eighth of Vaughan Town. Numerous subdivisions of various kinds are Secret Pollution Report On Watershed vernment for most of the way. It dosen't stay within the Parkway Belt from Milton West. however but takes a direction well north of Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton. From Milton the Solant route follows the Parkway Belt south of Brampton, through Woodbrldge and Concord, up along Highway 7 through the Langstaff area of Vaughan, Richmond Hill and Markham Towns. Then it goes eastward to a large power station site (Parkway) on the east side of Thornhill, continuing eastward just south of Old Markham Vil- lage into Durham Region. Love and understanding are the basic elements of her service. Solandft’s route suggests two northward running branches. the first running from a Woodwbridge power station west of Woodbri-dge Any woman. regardless of her age. race, marital. social. economic or religious status can obtain positive practical help to relieve the problems that cause her distress. “We in Birthright reply on intuition_ common sense and a loving receptive attitude. free from judgement . . . and knowing this, girls come to us without fear of being made to feel more guilty than they already do . . . " Mrs. Summerhill explains in her book. Everyone is invited to participate in the evening of discussion with her on Sun- day. MARCH 28.

The Solandt inquiry in- cluded Ontario's first full scale environmental impact study for a major public pro- ject. The work was done by a consultant environmental engineer Bruce Hewlett of Bhi Limited‘. Solandt sees a corridor 660 feet wide from Wood~ bridge to Kleinburg, 545 feet wide from Woodbridge to the Parkway station on the east side of ThornhilL Any ancillary 230 kilovolt lines would be placed un- derground via cable through Vaughan and Markham Towns where they run across the Lang- staff area. The public commissioner recommends s'peci-al low pro- file transformer station equipment be used at the Thornhill area's Parkway transformer station. He says vegetation to screen the sta- tion should be planted as soon as the land is acquired, instead of waiting until af- ter construction.

In their first game against Amherst they managed a 4-2 victory over their English counterparts. Another Disposal expert, Vern Dixon, 3 hydrogeol- ogist with International Wa- ter Supply Ltd., said later that one well in the area had been contaminated by efflu- ent s'eeping from a dump. But he doubted this would happen to the municipal water systems because a thick cover of clay still would prevent effluents from seeping through to the level from which the municipali- ties of Vaughan and Rich- mond Hill draw their water. TRUCK TRAFFIC Other evidence revealed that trucks accounted for 30 percent of the traffic pass- ing through Maple and that most of the trucks were bulk-type garbage trucks owned by Disposal Services. He told the board the com- pany had not initiated any rodent control, was dumping indiscriminately with no pol- lution control program and did not even have an ade- quate fence around the prop- erty. (Continued from page 1) being operated in a very un- satisfactory manner. It was also pointed out that the percentage of truck traffic was considerably higher in Maple than in any other community of a sim- ilar size.‘ Garbage Dump Illm“m“u\\l\l\ll\“lll\\l|l\llll\ll“llll\\\ll\l\\l\\\\l\\\\\\l\m\1\\l I“ll“\lll\\\ll\l\ll\l\\lllllll\\l\l\\““l\“lll!llll\ll\\\lm\lll\\\ll\ml“ The solicitors for the rate- payers and town generally contended that there was no irrefutable guarantee that pollution would not occur in area wells as the leachate would remain in the soil for a number of years. One outspoken ratepayer told Mr. Caverly that there was no “real guarantee that the garbage site won’t con- taminate my well. “I’m just asking what you or the province plan on do- ing for me after you have made the mistake of allow- ing this firm to operate and the pollution has happened?" Disposal Services Ltd. has stopped dumping on their controversial 20-acre site just north of Maple on Keele Street as a result of promised action against them by Environment Min- ister William Newman. At the outset of the meet- ing. Chairman Caverly ex- plained that the board had no powers unto itself. He said it would hear all evidence and then report back to the provincial min- istry of development. Disposal's Manager Alf Train was on the questioning stand when the hearing was adjourned until tomorrow (Friday) at 9:30 am at the community centre. In the Legislature Mr. Newman said he would do something “within two or three days” but would not say what the government could do.
