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: . . $3.$5." It was served on the 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." The summons is now in the pos- session of F.

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.
