At the touch of a finger, electricity goes instantly to work. It speeds the work of millions and enables everyone to enjoy the -high- est standards of living in history. The nation is more , productive healthier, happier, wealthier and more secgre thanks to the multiple tasks electricity performs. In sci- ence and medicine, electricity has also enabled man to explore areas that were formerly inaccessible; today's children can look forward to a lifetime in which electricity will make even greater contribu- tions to their way of life. Electric- ity stands ready to creat more jos, even whole new industries; looking forward, the abilities of electricity seem boundless. Lowest Power Cost in the World! Canadian homes use more elec- tricity for less money than any other people in the world. And, on a per -capita basis. Canadians use more electricity for all purposes thafi almost every other nation, too! The actual cost of lighting a home can be almost negligible; to- day's automatic "laundress" does a thorough job on the family wash- ing and works with a will for some thrce hours for less than five cents! Electricity "Domestic Servant" With the progress of electrical power in industry and its sequel of better -paid, shorter -hour jobs, the supply of domestic servants all but vanished from this part of the globe. Yet, thanks to that same de- velopment of electricity, Canadian housewives have more (and bet- ter!) domestic servants than ever. "Cook", "Laundress". "Upstairs maid", "Downstairs 'maid" the average Canadian family now has electrical equipment equival- ent in human help to a permanent staff of at least nine and as many as thirty servants, New Wired Man on the Farm The real work -horse on the farm today is electricity. In an ever- increasing degree, it contributes more than any other factor to re- ducing farm hours and making farm work easier, faster and more profitable. Farm homes can now be as modern and efficient as their city counterparts. Electric power provides water pressure, banishes the dimness and danger of oil lamps, and ends the dullness of isolation through the media of ra- dio and television. Electricity milks the cows; grinds feed. waters the stock and does dozens of other daily chores. The "hired hand" is a "wired hand" now; tireless, ver- satile, year-round; the Lowest paid, hardest working help that ever REWIRE AOR MODERN LIVING!

Electric Heating For Homes Not long ago, J. W. Kerr, Presi- dent of the Canadian Electrical Manufacturers' Association pre- dicted that in 10 years a full third of housing starts in Canada may incorporate electric heating. From the standpoint of initial installa- tion and year-round operation, electric heating is already feasible in all except the coldest provinc- es. and at a total cost competitive with systems fired by flame. Think of it! No furnace or chimney, no flame, fumes or ,ash; a cleaner, more convenient and yet more ef- fective supply of comfortable warmth, thermostatically control- led in each room. Ideal for ev- eryone—and a godsend for those with respiratory conditions. And Look What's Coming! The Canadian people will be of- fered an ever-increasing number of new 'electrical appliance.and equipment in the future. So many, indeed, that space permits scant mention here of but a few. Home improvements will include light- ing panels, mural television, elec- trostatic dusting wands, ultra- modern systems of heating and cooling . . . Soon, electricity will melt the snow on curbs and high- ways just as it does on drive- ways; wash the dishes through. sound wave action, irradiate foods, and pulverize garbage to powder. Home precipitators will rid us of all domestic dust and dirt and elec- tric toilet systems eventually eli- minate the need for sewage dis- posal, plants. GUELP SUCCESS A three -pian Guelph team won the butter -grading competition on Thursday at the 94th annual con- vention of the Western Ontario Dairymen's Association in Hamil- ton. Members of the team were John Kruisselbrink, Melvin Byer - mann and Hugh McDonald, all from the United Dairy and Poul- try Co-operative of Guelph. Set 1961 'Harbor Maintenance Work Harbor improvements are ex- pected to be carried out at Gode- rich and Bayfield during the 1961- 62 fiscal year, Elston Cardiff, MP for Huron, announced this week. The work will cost , about $80,000 and this has 'been allocated in the ° new estimates which have been tabled in the House of Commons, according to Mr. Cardiff. At Goderich about $50,000 will be spent to reconstruct the south pier to provide improved facilities for the mooring of boats. Repairs to the wharf at Bayfield are ex- pected to cost about $30,000. HENSALL COUPLE TELL OF EVENTS ON TRAVEL TO CALIFORNIA Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Noakes, of Hensall, are spending the winter months in California. The follow- ing is a travelogue of their trip down to the Sunny South, as writ- ten to The Expositor's Hensall cor- respondent: Arizona, Tuesday—I shall try to put together a travelogue, but first I want to say how glad I am to be down here in this warm sun; the sky is blue, and it is about 65 degrees—a cool day, one of the people who liven. here, told me. We left Detroit at 2:10 on Mon- day and cur bus schedule said we would arrive in Tucson Thursday evening at 6:15. The following is a list of some of our stops and places of interest along the way: Fort Wayne, Indiana: we stopped for breakfast at 6:15 a.m. On Tuesday we arrived in• Indianap- olis about 10 a.m,; next important stop, Evansville for a short time, and about half-hour later crossed the State line into Kentucky—set our watches back an hour. For supper we stopped at Paducah; midnight found us in Memphis, Tennessee, a long way to go in 24 hours. All the way down to Memphis there was snow in the fields. A few minute;' drive out of Mem- phis we crossed the great Missis- sippi River and were in. Arkansas. Wednesday we passed through rough and wooded country, but not a sign of snow; thank goodness winter is over! We had breakfast in a pretty little town called Mag- nolia. I was beginning to feel very well and I might add also hungry. It must have been the thought of no more snow. After a full -course breakfast. we boarded the' bus again. I was really beginning to enjoy our trip by now. At 10 a.m. we crossed into Texas and half an hour later had a coffee break at Texarkona, What a beautiful day! Mount Pleasant was our next stop for lunch, and enjoyed a stroll on the green grass (I might add, in my shirt sleeves), Dallas, Tex- as, at 5:30 p.m. and after an hour's rest left there at 4:30. A road sign out of Dallas caught my fancy; -it said (quote): "30 days hath Sep- tember, April, June and Highway Offenders." We had a 10 -minute stop in Fort Worth; left there at 6 p.m., had late lunch at Abilene. Thursday morning we arrived in El Paso, Texas, for breakfast and set our watches back another hour. Some information 'I gathered. about El Paso is as follows: "Pop- ulation 276 860; Texas Western College total enrolment, 4,184, more than, 16 buildings and one mile from Mexican border" Texas really has wide open spaces—cat- tle ranches, oil derricks and rough open country. The natives have quite a drawl to their speech and have lots of given sayings, such as in a place we stopped' for cof- fee. I said to my wife, "So this is Texas." The waitress overhear- ing me, said: "I declare, !honey, this is Texas, where the'! U.S.A. begins." Down the street from the coffee shop was a tax office, in YOU'LL LIVE BETTE" WITH FULL. USEPOWER!

At 11 a.m: we said. au revoir and drove along the border of Mexico into New Mexico, where we fol- lowed a ridge of mountains that look as if they start in Old Mexico. On our right were miles and miles of cotton fields being harvested; next, a little factory, where they bale the cotton; then ,a cotton seed oil factory. Las Cruces. our next stop at noon for lunch, is a pretty little town. Before turning into the mountains there was a gas sta- tion. My wife said, "Look! There is a Shell gas station. I didn't know Orville Twitchell had a branch down here!" On boarding the bus at Las Cruces, I asked the driver, "When do we cross the line into Arizona?" His reply was, "Son, when your aches and pains are gone, then you know you are in Arizona." Heading due west, we were going up hill a way and came out on a four -lane highway, either, side of which is a desert, with miles and miles of cactio, tumble weeds and sage brush; a few roads signs telling the motor- ist speed limit 70 m.p.h. during day and 60 m.p.h. at night; here and there a few ranch houses back from the road; mountains in the, distance—good chance for 40 winks. When I awoke we were passing through a gap in the mountains that we had followed since leav- ing Texas. Huge rocks, the size of houses, piled up, some sitting on pinnacles! Truly wonderful and awe-inspiring! By this time the frost was leaving my system and running down my face (I still had my winter underwear on). I got straightened up finally, and sure enough no more aches or pains. For endless miles we drove along through the desert; 'a few cattle here and there standing in the shade of cacti. A terrible thought struck me. What if a fel- low ran out of gas and got strand- ed here! We drove on farther and soon I had the answer, There on my left was a small cemetery. I thought, "This is journey's end for those who didn't fill up with Shell at Las Cruces." At 3:30 p.m. we arrived in Lordsburg; next place. Benson. The sun was straight ahead of us now and heading for the mountains (when it settles over,. there you are in Tucson, Arizona). We arrived here on exact schedule and the sun had gone down, but it will rise on the east side tomorrow morning as it always has. I will -tell you more in my next letter. I just got a glimpse at the paper and the wea- ther today was a high of 68 de- grees, low tonight 34—a cool day. By the way, I worried a little about the cemetery until I found out the details. It is an Indian burial ground, and I really wasn't too worried. Next stop, Santa Clara, Califor- nia, and a beautiful place it is! We are thoroughly enjoying the green lawns, roses and other flowers and, above all, the sun- shine. Seaforth Native Wed 60 Years Ago Marks Occasion A quiet family celebration at their home in Vancouver marked the 60th wedding anniversary of Rev. Alexander W.
