Iar Amps Work on Prosthetics The work being done by the War Amps in the field of prosthetics is gai.ning national recognition. As the principal group of "users" of artifici'al limbs, the War Amps bas developed a consumer programme, which bas several objectives. Firstly, through the publica- tion of pamphlets and films. the War Amps bas been disseminating information to amputees in Canada regard- ing the latest advances in this technical field, This association produced a film entitled "Prosthetis Yes... Bionics Maybe" ln September of 1977, depicting the latest innovations, including the limited use of bionics.. The flilmr -is distributed free of charge to hospitals and clinics. Another feature of the consumer - oriented programme is the collecting of information from amputees concerning the Problems they encounter in the use of University in Kingston; a joint prostheses. This information project with tIhe Canadian is fed back to prosthetics, Reabilitation Council for the manufacturers and the Disabled, to produce a film on medical profession. tecbnical aids for, the In this regard'Cliff Chadder- handicapped and a projeet ton, National Secretarq was with the Toronto Amputee named as one of the two Research Centre, to devise "consumer consultants" to instrumentation which will the prestigious International assist in developing better Society of Prosthetics.

These limbs are constructed of metal pylons and, can be physiol- ogically aligned in very close simulation to the movement of the knee, ankle and foot of the natural 11mb. As a result, he has been able, with his wife, Pat, to travel extensively, and to undertake recreational activities, the latest of wbich was to construct a two foot sea wall at his cottage on Georgian Bay. Even the Minister of Veterans Affairs - the Honour- able Daniel J. MacDonald - bas benefitted from the War Amps Prosthetics Research Programme. Mr. MacDonald is a native of Prince Edward Island where he owns a property on the shore. As a boy he used to swim the % mile to a nearby island, but was unable to tackle this stretcb of water after We returned from active service in Italy, wbere he lost an arm and a leg. He was fitted wîth a special swimmîng leg through the Prosthetics Service of the War Amputations of Canada. On bis next trip to Prince Edward Island, he was able to don the swimming leg, walk across the rough stones mnto the water and swim to bis beloved island and'back. The War Amps' researchers have been developing, as well, some unique equipment designed for amputees who wish to undertake golf. One devîce, for an arm amp, has a sleeve arrangement which grasps the club and a flexible wrist, which allows the sbaft to swing through on impact, controlled with the remaining band. Another device is entitled the "revolving golf shoe" which has a metal plate affixed to the bottom. The golfer is thus able to pivot while tbe spikes remain stationery in the ground. A further device, introduced into Canada by the, Association, is the rotator which can be set into an artificial limb at the ankie, or between the knee and the hip. This allows the limb to absorb torque without putting undue strain on the amputees remaining stump. Sir Douglas Bader, the legless fîghter pilot who served witb distinction in the R.A.F. in World War II was first introduced to this device on a visit to Canada lastMay. XYni his return to the United Kingdom, he was fitted with one of the rotators,, which had been flown to the United Kingdom by the War Amps Association, to be awaiting Sir Douglas' return. An active golfer be felt that the rotating device would allow him to reduce bis handicap from .12 ta "a, least6" Hlydro Releases Report, On Work at Darlington Nuclear Generating Site This is the first in a series of Darlington GS newsletters prepared ta inform neighbour- ing residents and those inter- ested in tlie project of site activities. On July 18, 1977, as you may recaîl, Ontario Hydro received approval from the provincial Cabinet ta construct a, 3,400 megawatt nuclear generating station at Hydro's'Darlington site. The 410-hectare site (about 1,200 acres) is located about five kilometres (tbree miles) southwest of Bowmanville in the Town of Newcastle. Community Impact Agreement An agreement ta caver the cost of any socia-ecanomic impact on the Town of Newcastle was signed by council and Hydro on March 22, 1977. Copies of this agreement are available at the Darlington GS Informa- tion Centre. A similar agreement between Hydro, the Town of Newcastle and the Region of Durham was signed in June of 1977. Construction Activities The first stage of work prior ta the actual construction of station facilities invalves site preparation and ground levelling. Tenders for tis work were cal1led last August and a $24.5 million contract was subsequently awarded to AI-nor Eartbmoving Limited of Courtice. Work ta date bas involved the construction of access roads, the installation of new bridges over the CN tracks on bath Hoît and Park Ronds, the erection of a fence, the construction of a dyke into Lake Ontario and the removal of just over one million cubic metres of earth fromn the lakeshore area. The earth being removed from the lakeshore is being piled else- where on site, between Hoît Road and Solina Road. A total 'of 7.5 million cubic metres (10 million cubic yards) of earth will be moved during site preparation and this should be completed by the spring of 1980. De-waterîng of the 25-acre behind the dyke is expected to start this June. Once completed, the area will be reclaimed witb fill from the eartb moving activities. Most work on site halted in the middle of March because of the spring breakup. Hawever, work resumed the first week of May with, two daily nine-hour shifts. Work Force Prior ta the spring break up, a total of 215 people'were working on site for Hydro and its contractors. Some 131 were laid off in March. These people were gradually called back as work resumed and it is expected that Alnor will have at least 250 persans on site by mid-summer.

A request ta regional cou ncil for the formation of an ad bac committee composed of eight municipal mayars or appointees and cbaired by the regional chairman was defeated on Wednesday after a short debate. According to the movers of the request, Councillors Herrema and Wilson, tis committee would be a good step towards making the area more productive and would allow industry a vehicle with which ta approach the region. Chairman of the Public Works' Committee, to which th-- adbccomtewal report, John Anderson, said that he saw no purpose ta setting up another ad hoc committee because it would only duplicate the services now offered by the regian. He also went on ta say that the committee would bave a bard time meeting because of the time of year, and that it would be redundant in September. Mayor of Newcastle Garnet Rickard supported the motion on the grounds that it would provîde an arena for dis- cussion of some of the projects with effects tbrougbout the region. One councillor suggested that this com nittee would get nowhere because the councillors themselves wr 3ýriycnendit-tiro; munîcîpalities and wauld be afraid to discuss things openly in case one of the other mnunicipalities stole their idea.
