initiated by Ontario Hydro to find a suitable corridor for Hydro lines originating at the Bruce power station that will eventually hook into the KV east west corridor from to Pickering It is difficult to untangle Hydros plans for the province unless you are an engineer or understand complicated electrical systems but one thing remains clear- present indications seem to in dicate Hydro system planners would prefer to send that north south corridor through this area A group of property owners in North Halton and Wellington County believe they have found a solution that will provide fewer environmental hang ups for Hydro than a line from Bradley Junction towards Orangevtlle to the Acton area This would take the line from Bruce to Essa and make use of the alternative system which Hydro eliminated because of security reasons However spokesman John Schneider claims the system which was preferred by most people in the southern sector would provide better protection than the or modified plan They figure only 19 miles of line would go unprotected using system if the Bruce to corridor was A Hydro study has shown that the security of 230 KV lines in the Orangevllle axis has been broken nine times the past years Broken down they show tran amission was broken once by aeroplane twice by tornado and six times by severe icing in the Georgetown Kitchener area The or modified system has both lines passing through this increasing the hazard The Halton Wellington group believes if the corridor was sent off in another direction to Essa from the Bruce area that would also eliminate much of the oppositon from farmers in Wellington County which would be severely affected by the two corridors one to Kitchener and the other to pass between the fourth and fifth Lines in this district Farm land in the northern part of the province is less arable than that in this area so there would be less chance of taking the provinces better agricultural lands out of service However when the proposal was presented to officials of Ontario Hydro they said it was unac ceptable because they had reserved the corridor between Klemburg and for future use The Wellington Halton group finds this reasoning a trifle hard to accept suggesting Hydro could find suitable corridors in years to come They point out their proposal docs not eliminate the possibility of future corridors They are also perturbed that Ontario Hydro has scheduled a series of meetings about the proposed corridors all well beyond the Ac ton Georgetown Hillsburgh area This suggests Hydro is not prepared to listen to the arguments of those who live in this area despite the fact the corridor could run right through Erin Esquesing and Eramosa town ships It is a feeling we share with the concerned people of this area The nearest point where the residents of this area can present their arguments is a meeting at the public school on the Fergus Road County Road 3 in East township The school is located on the Concession at Reading Corners and can be reached by following the Seventh Line above The meeting is on Tuesday October 23 Residents of the area would be well advised to attend this meeting to hear both sides of a subject which affects this province as well We think you will be impressed with the strength of the arguments the district groups have for taking the corridors elsewhere Motorcycle deaths on increase The number of motorcycle drivers killed in Ontario in 72 shows a marked increase over previous years Statistics recently released show that motorcyclists were killed and injured during the period September 1971 to August This compares with killed and 2 injured over the same period The number of motorcycle passengers killed in Ontario last year stands at with injuied reports the Ontario Safety League THE ACTON FREE PRESS PHONE 853 2010 Business and Editorial Office A study just completed by the University of North Carolina High way Safety Research Center indicates that in most crashes involving a motorcycle and an automobile the driver of the automobile is at fault motorcycle crashes were studied and researchers found that about twothirds of the crashes involved more than one vehicle and almost all of these involved a motorcycle and an automobile In 62 percent of the mufti vehicle crashes the driver was found to be at fault In most instances the car was making a left turn in front of the motorcycle when the collision occurred The car pulling in front of the motorcycle was the second most frequent contributing cause The motorcycle driver was at fault only percent of the multi vehicle collisions According to the study in most of these cases the motorcyclist was following too close In single vehicle crashes involving motorcycles loss of control while rounding a curve was MiniComment A petition from townspeople brought a new station to Acton back in 1905 and were wondering whether we shouldnt stir the a little more about replacing that little glassenclosed kiosk with something more permanent It looks like an afterthought Hardly seems possible the railway considers it is the answer to needs the most frequent cause occurring in one third of the cases Loss of control was also caused by pedestrians animals or bicycles darting onto the road and by gravel and oil sticks on the road Very few instances were found where the motorcycle driver was at fault in a single vehicle crash An important factor in motorcycle crashes seemed to be the presence of passengers Passengers were present in percent of the total number of accidents studied and in 30 percent of those involving fatalities Researchers also found that passengers were more often present the single vehicle ac than in multi vehicle crashes In Ontario fatalities occurred in 1 1 percent of alt motorcycle ac cidents last year Less than 7 percent of all passenger car ac cidents involved fatalities The figures show conclusively motorcycle riding is more hazardous than riding in an automobile a fact well known but as adequately documented in smaller places at the same time as they are supposed to be en couraging more customers to use trains instead of highways We expect the GO service scheduled to start this fall from Toronto to Georgetown will extend as far as Guelph Many of the will want to board at Acton If the trains stop and the little commuters rest there now hardly be
