LEEDS COALITION FOR NUCLEAR RESPONSIBILITX COMMENT ON NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION The recent accident at the nuclear generating station in Harrisâ€" burg ,Pa.should cause us to question the future development and ex- pansion of nuclear power in Ontario.Mcre particularly,we should be aware of some of the dangers we may be exposed to if Ontario Hydro proceeds with building a nuclear station near Prescott,or anywhere else in Eastern Ontario. ‘ The most dramatic and appalling danger is the release,possibly through an explosion,of vast quantities of radioactive gases and debris.This would not only cause immediate deaths and injuries,but also future cancerâ€"related deaths and disorders.ln addition,it could render hundreds of square miles of Eastern Ontario uninhabitable. It is true that this danger is unlikely. Unfortunately for us, it is not known how unlikely. Nuclear reactors are designed to include certain safety systems on the assumption that there will be accidents,and that low levels of radiation.will from time to-time be emitted.lndeed,very small amounts of radiation rountinely escape from a nuclear generating station. Unfortunately again,it is not known for certain what effects this has on our bodies, and on the plants and animals we eat. Another problem which we in Eastern Ontario must consider is the storage of nuclear wastes. These substances are extremely toxic for thousands of years.Partly because our region is not heavily populated, these wastes could very well end up being buried here. Unfortunately for those of us who do live in the area,|t is not known how to dispose of nuclear wastes safely and permanently.Burying them may turn out to be a tragic and fatal mistake. These and other problems associated with nuclear power indicate to us that the number of nuclear generating stations should not be inâ€" creased.At present,expansion is not even neededsince Ontario Hydro can generate 15% More electrical power than we require. In future articles,we hope to show that we as individuals and as a society,can take care of our energy needs in less dangerous ways. by David Adams BRING MOTHER TO THE 3735 MOTHER‘SMDAY SPECIAL THE DOST AND BEAN RESTAURANT s'rmuwc.

SUNDAY l3 MAY {-8 Pm EFSER l/h‘T/DUS ADUI page 13 RloeAu AKesUmoN LI 8 BARY EOLS "DIAL-Aâ€"QUESTION" NOW IN SECOND YEAR HELPING EASTERN ONTARIO RESIDENTS "What are the ratings for smoke detectors?" "How do you obtain an international driver's licence?" "Where do I get information on building a solar energy house?" "How can I obtain a birth certificate?" "What is the colour of a Canadian million dollar bill?" "What was the buying power of the dollar in 1911?" "Do you have the amateur radio call numbers?" "Do you have recipes for making verâ€" mcuth and sherry?" "Do you have stock quotations for 1900?" These are samples of some of the hundreds of questions answered by the Eastern Ontario Library System's "Dialâ€"aâ€"Question" service nddinto its second year of helping Eastern Ontario residents find the answers they need. Designed for longhdistance callers â€" business, industry, teachers, students, agriculturalists â€" indeed, all Erstern Ontario residents who live in the 613 telephone area, the service provides a free, direct line to the reference department of one of the EOLS res0uroe libraries in Ottawa, Cornwall, Brockville or Pembroke. Tollâ€"free Watts and Zenith telephone numbers are used for the information network and a bilingual service is provided at both Ottawa and Cornwall public libraries. Callers are urged to contact their nearest public library resource centre to obtain answers on a wide variety of subjects by just dialing one of these numbers: 1 - 500 â€" 267-8293 (Ottawa); 1 - 800 - 267-8151 (Brockville); 1 - 800 â€" 267-7144 (Cornwall); residents of Renfrew County dial "0" and ask operator for Zenith 16780 (Pembroke). Persons living in areas where long distance does not apply should continue to use the regular phone number to obtain information at any of the public library resource centres. "The Dial-a-Question service was well used during its first yeartof operation" ' arry Eshelman Direc or, Eas ern Ofitgrlo Library System, "but, we know there are many more potential users who still may not be aware that it is available." Mr. Eshelman said this free public library information network is the first of its type in Ontario. It was begun last year as a pilot project in Eastern Ontario in an effort to provide rural residents with the same access to information resources that city dwellers have always had by simply calling the Reference Department of their local public library.
