The drilling company', Free Lance Dilling of Ajax, had hit a pocket of natural gas approximately 145 feet down. In its natural state, natural gas has no odour so the men had no idea that the four inch pipe that they bad inserted was funnelling natural gas to the surface. A cigarette ignit- cd the blaze. The men tried unsuccess- fully to extinguish the flames tbemselves with buckets of water. After 20 minutes the flames were undiminished and inclining toward the house. The fire department was summoned. The flames were quickly brought under control with no damage. The only danger was t0 the drilling truck. The controls at the back of the truck had become very warm but the flames were put out before there was any trouble. This was the second outing for the bright yellow fire truck. However, this time at last, ils additional water supply was unnecessary. 2 1 - Year-OId Newcastle Man Dies in Two Car Collision On Saturday morning, there was a parade of veterans, Scouts Cubs Guides, Brownies and Beavers, led by the Legion Pipe band.

A fire at one generating plant and leaks at the Pickering station apparently have left Hydro without too much surplus. Probably the expected coal strike in the U.S.A. won't help either.

The Ministry of EnVriron- ment, Newcastle Council and loèal residents impressed upon the commission their conviction that a'route north of Rice Lake is a much more viable alternative to any of the alternatives further south. A presentation was given by f~~ AditOI G.B Pearson, a pl ann-ing engineer for Ontario Hydro, in which, he stated that any, of three Gatineau alternative would cost anything from $43 million,10 $158 million more than the Hydro recommended route. Ministry of Environment Planner, David Birnbaum, questioned Mr.ý Pearson on the additional cost of a Gatineau line when it wasn't more than 12 to 15 miles longer. Mr. Pearson, replied -that the rial Cost problem. lies in that it would take two to three years to get permission for other trans- mission lunes in the north.
