Cost may top $1 billion to replace tubes at nuclear plant The Ontario Energy Board was told on Thursday that the cost of replacing the pressure tubes at the Pickering Nuclear Plant could be as high as $1.1 billion. Bill Mor- rison, Hydro's vice-president of design and development told the hearing that the original estimate of $520 million for the actual retub- ing could be 20 to 25 percent off but, the main problem with dçtermining the cost is that Hydro has never attemp- ted such a large project. Both units 1 and 2 at the plant have been closed down since November when it was discovered that many of the pressure tubes have sagged and become very brittle because of hydrogen absorp- tion.

It has been illegal to import or manufacture heroin in Canada since 1955. Dr. Gillian Gilchrist, a Durham Region physician specializing in the treatment of pain says, "there are enough drugs available to treat victims without using heroin." He feels that the more street drugs we have in Canada the more general public gets involved. Complaint about farm animals in village In a written complaint to Hope Township building in- spector, Duane Henderson, a Welcome resident has com- plained that his neighbour is keeping farm animals in the village and the animal noise and smell are making his life miserable.
