It is noted that the new chain link fencing has arrived and no doubt will be erected shortiy thus contain- ing those wild shots within the ~SPO RTSR A crowd of 1806 at the Kawartha Racew ay on Sunday wvatched as two Orono drives outclassed their fields in the first and second races. Junior West drove to a win in the first with Our Lad in a time of 2.10.2. Geraid Robinson drîving in the second race did likewise with Josedale Tina in a tUme of 2.10.2.' This appears to have set the pace for Derek Newman for his event later in the day. Newman was second in the seventh race driving Rosîe's Sister. This race was won by Edwin in a timne of 2.07.4. Ja De Glassford who raced successfuiiy last year for Keith West piaced second in the iast race which was won by Doc Aýngus in 2.07.2 Glassford was driven by Bissonette. PUDELPOINTERS ON TRIAL AT RDP QUAIL RANCH -Sa turday and Sunday some 30 young versatile hunting dogs uinder age of 16 months from Ontario, Quebec, New England and West Virginia were given, arduous tests at, the spring The trials were sponsored by the Pudelpointer Club of America and heid at R.D.F'.

The Ë%Peole Speak BY SHELLEY LOUCKS "Ontario Hydro is complet- ely ignoring the» farmer's rights", says Mr. Dick Morton referring to the proposai for a hydro uine which wiIl cut through hîs property. Athou- gh this is a necessary project, he says that the farmers were given no consideration what- soever, 'because of the fact that an agricuitural repre- sentative was not consulted at any time, during the planning, for their views or advice. But now, even though it may be too iate, the Ministry of Agric~ulture, aiong witt sev- eral farmers, wiil be making presentationsý stating their case. The Ontario Hydro is ap- parentiy not giving the farm- ers a fair deai, according to Mr. Morton. Most farmers make a lot of investments in their land, and now they are, being pressured into seii.ing it before the price of the property ripens. Mr. Morton was asked if this uine will affect his farming operation. He said it wili depend on the angle in which itwiii divide the land, but if it must go through, he ' * BRASEBALL- * Those wishing to play basebaîl in Orono this *Year corne to the Or1onlo 1Park on Saturday, May 4thI SP EE WEES AT 10 AlL ,TYK ES AT 12NOONI g MIDGETS AT 2:00 I Mondy 6:0 p.mn.

So its ail go for tennis this year in, Orono. would prefer it t o go north and south, to evenly. divide the property. It wiii temporariiy cut dowr his yieid, but things shouid pick up after a while. He says it îs very important that the farmers be given a contract for renewai to iease back the land, otherwise they may find that they have lost it. It might seem more logicai to some, for the -Hydro to rent the, land from the farmers, rather than the reversed proc ess, but Mr. Morton says that they might as weii buy it. It couidn't be used or soid for any other purpose after the lines are instaiied. To sum it up, hie says the farmers are losing out on the whole deai, -and there is absolutely no way it, can be stopped. Another affected farm op- eration in Clarke wiil be Sawmac Farms, and owner L.R. Sawyer, is hopping mad about it. But he has every right to be since, the new line- wiii probabiy cover close to 70 acres of his land. If it does go through it wiii cut the farmi in haif and to trouble thèm even more, it wili, disrupt two, consecutive crop years, as the line wiii be instaiied in two phases. The problim according to Mr. Sawyer is that the proposaI once started farther south, but the area is more populated and they pushed it Wèxth. He wouid iike to see,,it moved even farther north, but they would get into Ganaras- ka and Environmentaiists' ferritory whom hie said wouid outnumber the farmers and put up a bigger fight. He a dded that no matter where it is put, there will be some opposition. The suggested route for this line is proposed to go through several of the biggest farm operations in the area, which obviously makes work easier for the Hydro and less objections from the majority public. It seems that nuthing is definite yet, and the farmiers are stili meeting with the Hvdro to defend their oe ty. * qw lo is' ,1,) 1H i u i , 'h H Deplore ro in Newcas- The Town of Newcastle Wor ks Committee'last week, in strong terms, sought a joint meeting with the Ministry of the ENvironment, Kilboîzn Engineeringand the contrac- tor responsible for the sewage work installation in the Vill- age of Newcastle. The meet- ing was urged to be caiied to discuss the depiorable state of the Village of Newcastle roads and sidewalks foilowing the installation of the sewage system. The hoies anduneven sect- ions of roads and sidewaik are the resuit of the installation of the village's new sewer sy- stem, begun over a year ago, said Jack Dunham, the town's director of public works. Begun under the viiiage's former council, Mr. Dunham saicl the contractor doing the work has not restored the roads to a satisfactory condit-, ion after digging themn up to lay the sewers. As a result the new muni- cipality found itself inheriting a road systemn in the village riddled with problems that came to iight when the snow melted this spring, said Don Wearn, chairman of the works )ads thal ail uines of cùmmùi*tnicat- ion can be covu'ped at once, * I want to lay- it right on the fl e lune, he said, just whose Sînce the sewer project was responsible for whôm. begun under the former If- theyre not going to Ontario Water Resources perform, they'I1 be dismissed Commission, now part of the and we'Il get someone else to ministry' of the enviromnent, do il, said the mayor, speak- Mayor Garnet Rickard pro- ing of the frustrating deaiings posed towvn officiais rmeet with the town has had twitt.e the ministry, Kilborn Engin- contractor to get the Vk eerîng and the contractor so done properiy.
