As Canada celebrates National
Electrical Week. Feb. 7.13; under
the banner of "Electricity Sparks:.
the '60s", citizens of Ontario can
look to Hydro .to help them achieve
a better way of life during the next
decade --through an abundance of
low-cost electric power.
'Homeowners and homemakers
in this most densely populated of
all the provinces, will be offered
an increasing number and variety
of time -saving, work -eliminating
electric appliances and equipment.
In addition, home improvements
such as ultrasonic lighting, mural
television, panel lights electrosta-
tic dusting wands, and ultra -mod-
ern heating and cooling systems
will probably be in general use.
Before the ,.Centennial of Canada
as a Dominion in 1967, it may be
possible for the man of the hquse
to discard that instrument of tor-
ture, the snow shovel. He will
merely flip a switch and lean back
watching the snow melt as fast as
it falls, thanks to the cables car-
rying electricity under his drive-
way. In the not too distant future
he may be able to bring his elec-
tronically steered car from his gar-
age to his door. without -getting out
of his chair.
However, it is in the kitchen that
the real revolution will come. The
kitchen' of the future will be built
around four units, each with an
electrically refrigerated . drawer,
for storing, preparing and cooking
the family's meals.
Dishwashers will remove all
grease and matter from dishes and
utensils within seconds by means
of high - ppressure sound waves
which will r agitate the water. All
types of garbage will be pulverized
into disposable powder ,by a com-
pact electric incinerator, A small
electronic memory or brain may
.be available to housewives to re-
tain and give information on Men-
us and recipes.
By pressing the appropriate but-
ton, the housewife will get a punch-
ed card with Instructions stamped
on it. Site will insert this card in.
the slot of her "multi -storage cup-
board and all the necessary in,
gredients will be automatically
measured out. An electric mixer
will then take over, and finally,
the card will instruct the oven on
the cooking procedure.
There will be extensive use of
home freezers and irradiated foods,'
capable of being stored for several
years. Fly swatters will be col-
lected as antiques, as' homes, Com-
merce, . and industry (especially
large dairies), will use electric fly-
traps. Electric toilet systems will
eliminate sewage disposal plants,
while home precipitators will rid
us of all domestic dust and dirt.
In the bedrooms of tomorrow a
radiant heating pad will be sus-
pended above the bed to keep
sleepers comfortable without blan-
kets. The panel may include a TV
monitor screen to enable parents
to keep a close watch on junior in
the nursery. Electrical heating and
cooling systems will provide year-
round residential air-conditioning.
But behind the switches of this
wide array of new appliances, im-
portant developments will be tak-
Cow Bell $ounded
rouble -for Farmer
(By Stan Shantz, in the London .
Free Press)
Collection of accounts which are
in arrears apparently, hasn't chang-
ed very much in the last 90 years.
Nor has the cost of such legal pro-
cedure made payment of such ac-
counts less onerous.
A Division Court summons is-
sued .May 14, 1870, at Seaforth,
provides proof that debtors had
the same troubles from their cred-
itors as today, even though mod-
ern instalment buying was still
many, decades in the future.
The court action sparked by the
ancient summons resulted from an
unpaid account for of all things,
a cow bell. The old summonh pro-
vides facts in which the tratis'ae-
tion can be clearly traced,
A McKillop township farmer
bought the cow bell from J: D.
Fee, owner of the Sheffield hard-
ware store at Seaforth, en July 15,
1866, for $1.50. Apparently state-
ments failed to bring payment, and
a final one, which is attached to
the summons, is dated Dec. 30,
1868. By this time interest of 35c
had been added to the account..
The Division Court summons is-
sued May 14, 1870, lists the "de-
mand" as "Claim $1.85, costs ex-
clusive of mileage $1.50; total
TO THE, EDITOR:
Ottawa, 29th January, 1960
Editor, The Huron Expositor:
Dear Sir; From reports receiv-
Postmasters in all parts
of Canada it is quite evident that
once again the public has respond-
ed generously to the Post Office
Department's request to "Mail
Early For Christmas". .Postmas-
ters have mentioned, in particular,
the public service rendered by
newspapers in stressing the need
for co-operation in mailing early
to avoid disappointment during the
festive season.
The co-operation of, the press and
public; coupled with particularly
good weather over the greeter part
of Canada, made possible a suc-
cessful handling of a record volume
of Christmas mail by postal staffs.
On behalf of the Canadian Pos-
tal Service, I wish to thank the
newspapers of Canada most sin-
cerely for bringing to the attention
of their readers the importance of
mailing early at Christmas.
Yours sincerely,
G. A. BOYLE,
Deputy Postmaster
General.
ing place in the'supply of power to
the people of Ontario.
With the. urban development of
Ontario,. the -municipal electrical
utilities associated with Ontario
Hydro in the distribution of elec-
tricity, will maintain a steady ex-
pansion of residential and indus-
trial services,
In mid -.1961, Canada's first nu-
clear 'electric power will flow into
Hydro's Southern Ontario trans-
mission network. This power will
be indistinguishable from energy
produced by presently convention-
al means, but it will be symbolic
of the quiet revolution in power
production in the '60s.
In late 1964 or early 1965, the
first full-scale nuclear power sta-
tion will be in operation in On-
tario.
Uranium, a mineral in which the
province is rich, will be used as a
fuel to an increasing ..degree as
nuclear energy begins to play an
important part in Hydro's gener-
ating pattern.
New hydraulic developments will
help to meet, ,some of the power
requirements of, the '60s, and side
by side with such projects will be
the innovation .of the extra -high-
voltage transmission of power
from many of the province's more
remote sites. To carry the output
from these isolated sites (it is es-
timated that 2,000,00Q kilowatts of
hydraulic power is still undevel-
oped), Hydro is planning an EHV
network in Northeastern Ontario,
which will transmit power at 460,-
000 volts --double the present high-
est voltage used in Ontario,
The coming decade will bring
many changes. but the aims of
both Ontario Hydro and local elec-
trical utilities will remain the
same: to provide a constant and
abundant supply of electric power
to the homes, farms, and factories
of ,Ontario: . .

recalcitrant farmer May 21, 1870,
and has an endorsement dated.
June 7, which reads, "cause to
stand over et instance of plaintiff
to next court on payment for his
attendance at court 75 cents."'
Although the delinquent account
was.mbre than doubled by the time
it reached the Division Court, fees
as listed by court officials -were
not onerous. Charges by the clerk
included: Receiving claim .10, is-
suing summons" .25i copies of pro-
ces, etc. .20, entering returns .05,
affidavits .40, subpoena .15, enter-
ing notice° .15, postage .03, notices
given .10, entering judgment .25,
stamps (law) .10. The bailiff's fees
were: services .10, mileage .60,
bailiff's return .10.
The two law stamps 'attached
were of 10 cents face value which
are, worth approximately five cents
each to.collectors now.
The statement attached to the
summons is interesting in itself of
merchandise handled by the Shef-
field 'hardw•afe store which' Mr.
Fee operated. The bill head states
Mr. Fee was "Manufacturer of tin,
sheet -iron and Copper ware, im-
porter and,,; wholesale and retail
dealer in Hardware, Stoves, Farm
Implements, Platform and Counter
Scales, Furniture, Children's Cabs,
Coal 'Oil, Coal •Oil Lamps, etc."

session of F. S. Sill's, Sr,, of Sea-
forth.

Tomatoes are considered the best
all year round source of Vitamin
C grown in Canada. The Home
Economics Service of the Ontario
Department of Agriculture draws
_attention to the fact that factory
canned tomatoes and tomato juice
provide almost as 'much Vitamin
C as fresh ones. Consequently, ev-
en when the season of fresh, home-
grown tomatoes-i_s,., oyer, an inex-
pensive, rich source of that, vita-
min is still readily available.
` While most people associate Vit-
amin A with the yellow -colored
vegetables such as carrots, squash
'and sweet potatoes, tomatoes have
a good supply of this vitamin too.
Actually, there is an orange color
in tomatoes but the red color hides.
it, so Vitamin A is present even
though it can't be seen.
Canned tomatoes are a welcome
vegetable just as they come from
the can, or heated and seasoned to
taste. And they combine well with
meat or macaroni main dishes.

culture for an egg -cheese -rice cas-
serole which resembles a souffle

Here are the ingredients:
,1/4 cup rice
' 2 tablespoons fat -
3 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup milk
2 cups grated cheese
4 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
A pinch of pepper
A pinch of mustard.
The method is very simple. First,
cook the rice in boiling, salted wa-
ter. Then make' a cheese sauce
with the fat, flour, milk and,
cheese. Next, separate the eggs
and -beat whites and yolks separ-
ately until stiff. Combine egg
yolks ' and seasoning with cheese
sauce; add rice and fold in the'
stiffly ` beaten egg whites. Bake
in an unbuttered baking dish for
