endorsing a motion for an early adjournment expressing hopes of shortening the bear ing by resolving minor pro blems in private conference with Mr Parkinson Mr Parkinson explained that the line In question would carry veils of power to and from the Middleport gen era ling station near on Lake Erie to the Cherry wood transformer station near Pickering east of Toronto The Is his professional conviction as a planning consultant that the town official plan should be amended so that nothing can preclude the realisation of any provincial Interest Nevertheless he said Hydro had instructed him to prepare its three applications for of flclal plan and bylaw amend ments so that the northsouth and east west corridors could be considered as specific and independent projects Mr Bouslield contended that there is no better route for the east west line than the 250foot wide stripe of land selected by Hydro planners Rural land which comprises virtually all of the route provides the best setting for such facilities he said Since the land beneath the lines Is still open to all agricultural uses The consultant commented that the only problem in local the lines directly above industrial agricultural or res Identlal buildings Is that Hydro access to the tower Is impeded There is no danger to public safety he said Helping hands need help to aid the aged and infirm writer The Help Hand

Morning Everyone Welcome which they are held by the program staff We have an excellent staff of domestic engineers who ore people Mrs Stephens said The only way I can describe them Is professional The people in the program would like see a volunteer corps set up to help with such things as driving people to doctor appointments or to lake people shopping or visiting The reason so many of our people don get out Is because of the lousy transportation system here Mrs Stephens said The taxis will give senior citizens a discount if they travel in a group But when someone wants to go out alone it gels expensive They can give someone a discount Just because they are a senior citizen Our function is supportive one we like to see our clients remain independent she said So many people are about not being able to look after themselves Mrs Stephens said Canada Is very backward In the way it looks after Its senior citizens Families prefer not to have their parents living with them for whatever reason Many of them don t qualify for Victorian Order of Nurses assistance Mrs Stephens said But you re only entitled VON for so long and what do you do then The Helping Hand program was originally funded by LIP grants When the grants stopped the province and the municipality took over the major portion per cent of the funding with the rest coming from the United Way or local service organization Most of the clients pay for the services they receive since thy feel most com that way But the payment Is geared to their ability to pay Recently we sent around a letter asking people what work they wanted done so we could set up a schedule for anyone who volunteered Mrs Stephens said That lady said I would like to have done my windows myself but since I turned B0 I Just haven t felt comfortable getting up on a ladder The Helping Hand program not only provides services for senior citizens but for the handicapped as well whether the handicap is permanent or temporary Mrs Stephens said that a lot of their clients suffer from multiple sclerosis We can lose sight of the fact that were begging for volunteers Mrs Stephens said The work is seasonal and the program Is covered by liabilities If I got ten male volunteers I could put them to work right now she said The women who work for the program domestic engineers are paid a salary The women are professional women who do a good Job for paying clients who pay according to their ability Mrs said fireball parking request A request for on street park for the Acton volunteer firefighters put forward by Miller drew a suggestion that six cars could be parked on St Alban s Drive and four on Bower Street If the area were designated as reserved for emergency vehicles parking Ward Coun Lea pointed out the firefighters only asked for 10 spaces They could pork on the south side of Bower adjacent to the access right to the corner of John Street and on the east side of St Alban from Bower to the neighbourhood of Knox church manse without inter fering greatly with parking for merchants or shoppers he said He felt this would be a better temporary solution than to take away critical parking space on Willow Street
