Wm. H. Cranston, chairmnan of the Historical Sites Board stated that it was significant that Mr. Atkinson had his early founding in a small community of the size of Newcastle with its social structure. He said Mr. Atkin- son's life was moulded by this influence in his early years which is also true of many other great men and women. This atmosphere in which Mr. Atkinson lived and bis training in Port Hope may well abve resulted, to a degree, the success of the great journal of the Toronto Star and its service to the community as a whole. Mr. Atkinson was born in the Township of Clarke, lot 2o, concession 2 in 1865, being the youngest of eight children born to John and Hannah Atkinson. His father was a mi] operator who -was killed onIy tw,ýo months after Joe's birth. The family then moved to Newcastle, some three miles away when Joe was three years of age. At the age of fifteen Atkin-' son begari work in a woollen miii on a part timne basis while continuing bis education. The honour gentlemen, then a young boy, was offered a job working in the Newcastle aREA FOR THE Port Hope Times and when he left this employment in 1888 he was virtually the publisher of the paper. He subsequently moved'to Toronto being employed by the World 'and later the Globe. Following a period with the Montreal Herald, Atkirison became in 1899 editor and manager of the Toronto Even- ing Star. He changed the name to the Star in 1900 and published it until bis death. In 1910 he founded the Star Weekly, established radio sta- tion CFCA in 1922 and built the Star into Caniada's largest daily newspaperwxith a,stated policy of suipporting the "littie man" Mr. Atkinson died in 1948 leaving most of bis consider- able wealtb to the Atkînson Charitable Foundation. Following the ceremonies on Sunday in Newcastle a group from the Trenton Air- force band presented a well prepared program of music.

Persons at the meeting spoke of the icing of lines on a northern route as well as stating that Hydro should, with the new technical know- ledge now available, be con- sidering using coal to fire the energy plants such as to be built at Wesleyville and Bow- manville. At one point in the meeting it was stated that Hydro should start all over and hire a Canadian firm to make the study rather than-the present American firm. Mr. Bailey who is a member of a negotiating committee froml Bruce-Huron County spoke to the meeting outlining what they had done so far in Bruce-Huron. Mr. Baiiey stat- ed that in bis opinion they could do very littie in connec- tion with the location of the transmission line. He said they' had tried to, influence Hydro in their area with no avail. He did strongly recomn- mend that wben the uine is established to a definite route that those owners wbo were affected sbould organize to present a common front and to hire legal council to act on their bebaif. He said in the Bruce-Huron area 91 farmers had donated $100.00 each to this end and were having some resuits to date. He said that Hydro had pulled out their negotiating teams out of the area for the time being until some items could bie cleared up. He also said that on recommendation of this comn- mittee Hydro bas set up a Code of Ethics for thei r fieldmen. He accused Hydro fieldmen when purchasing land first met with widows and those wanting to seli to Hydro. Mr. Bailey outlined some of the problems faced by land owners wben land purchased by Hydro and these included fences where there is some need for change in the Line Fence Act in this regard. This matter hie stated bas not been settled as yet. Tile drains was another matter under consid- eration, hie said, and question- ed who would take responsi- bility of. these when Hydro became owners of the land. Throughout the meeting Mr.' Bailey emphasied the need to organize an organization that could standup to Hydro. This, hie said, could only be done wben the site of the route is chosen. "I feel their engineers are going to design and place this line" lie said. He stated that the Ontario Federation of Agriculture was promoting the idea of a joint use corridor but noted that Hydro was not too receptive to this idea. He did state that there could be certain pro- blems with joint use and noted the interference of radio reception for the OPP if hydro uines were placed along the route of 401 or the proposed 407. Merrili van -Kemp, who is also a member of a Ontario' Federation Committee stated hie attended most of the Hydro meetings in the area and did feel there was a chance to make changes from. the three porposed routes as recom-- mended by hydro. He said from. opinion expressed at a recent meeting there wouldbe chngs nthe routes as Kraft Canadian Process, Cheese Sluces -ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST gth, 1973,-,3 verbal skirmiîsh over closed township meet SA small verbal skirmish resulted last Wednesday even- ing when the council of the Township of Clarke was about to meet with Ministry heads in regards to discuss some aspects of crowd control, trespassing, sanitation and other aspects which irritate local citizens when events are held at Mosport. The meeting had been reported in the Reporter as a public meeting which however in the opinon of the reeve. of the Township, E. R.
