Wilson was our secretary -treasurer, and in my opinion, one could not find a more capable, honest, consci- entious person to fill that posi- tion." R. M. Laurie, Western Region HEPC, represented the Ontario Commission at the ceremony and spoke brieflly. Agreeing that it was essen- tial that events of importance in the past be commemorated, the speaker said that if we do not look back we are unable to appraise our successes and our failures, our good judgment and our bad judgment. Pointing out that Hydro is in a highly competitive position, Mr. Laurie warned that recog- nition of the competition was essential if embarrassing situa- tions were to be avoided. "Competition can be met in two ways, by doing nothing and losing our business," he said, "or by getting out and working and obtaining our fair share of the market. We, in Hydro, must now sell and sell hard, our competitor is no child and is backed by real resources. So do not let go for naught, the institution so many have fought to build up. We must do our best to avoid increase in rates, not only to the householder, but industry, and most impor- tant, the farmer." Long Service (Continued from Page 9) 1933-36; M. A. Reid, 1947-48; J. E.
