Bingo Hydro Costs Increase Increases in the costs of supplying electricity to municip- al utility systems and a group of 88 large industrial customers served directly by Ontario Hydro have been announced. While no immediate increase is contemplated, Seaforth P.U.C. chairman, R. S. Box, said the increase in the cost of power being supplied to Seaforth inevit- ably would have b an effect on Seaforth rates. Hydro Chairman George Gathercole said interim whole- sale rates to municipal commis - sions will be increased by an average of 7 per cent for 1971. The increase for industrial con- sumers served directly by On- tario Hydro will be 8 per cent. These rates come into effect January 1, 1971. One of the features which contributes to hydro costs is the rental which the Ontario Government levies on hydro for rental of water. This amounts to several million dollars annually. 'Although this will increase the cost of power to municipal Hydro commissions, it does not mean immediately and auto- matically consumers will pay higher rates," he said. "Some of the municipal Hydro commis- sions will be able to absorb all or a portion of the increase under their existing rate structures. Others will be forced to pass it along. In the long run these higher costs will affect municipal rate structures. "Ontario Hydro, like every other utility in North America is experiencing a strong upward thrust in operating costs, which must be passed along to its users. "As large as the increases appear, they compare very favourably with those of other Canadian and American utilit- ies," Mr. Gathercole said. "In the last year, Canadian Utilities in Alberta increased rates 15 per cent; Hydro Quebec in- creased its rates by 10 per cent and British Columbia Hydro by 13 to 15 per cent. Manitoba Hydro may be forced to increase its 'rates by 14.5 per cent. In the United States, the Tennessee Valley Authority raised rates 23 per cent, and Consolidated' Edison, which serves New York City, increased rates by 16 per cent. Most other electrical utilities have found it necessary to raise their rates by 10 to 25 per cent." Mr. Gathercole said costs continue to escalate for equipment and supplies, wages and salaries, fuel and interest rates. "If the Province is to ex- pand, Hydro itself must expand and new plants are being financ- ed at interest rates that are nearly double those of a few years ago," he said. Measures to control air pol- lution have become a significant budget consideration. Not only for abatement equipment'but also Hydro must now burn low-sul- phur fuel which is more expen- sive. • For instance, we are spend- ing about $13 million at the R.L. Hearn generating station in Tor- onto as an anti-pollution measure. The use of natural gas in place of coal also adds significantly to our costs," he said. Last month, Ontario Hydro announced an increase in rates for 600,000 rural customers, which also comes into effect January 1 and raises revenue from that sector by 9 per cent, It was the third general increase in the last 17 years. The pre- vious one was two and a quarter years ago. Correspondent Mrs. Ken McKellar Mrs. Percy Adams and son John Adams of Blyth were Sun- day visitors with Mrs. George Wallace and Mrs. Verna Brooks.

Nominations were also re- ceived for the two positions in the Huron County Board of Education for the representat- ives from the Townships of Stanley and Tuckersmith, the Village of Bayfield and the Town of Seaforth. Nominated were the two representatives on the Board seeking to return - Mrs.Marilyn Kunder of Seaforth and John Broadfoot of R.R.1, Brucefield. A challenger for a seat on the board is Dr. Morgan Smith of Bayfield. Stanley Clerk, Mel Graham, was named chairman for the meeting following the nominat- ions when the candidates addressed the forty or more present. Reeve Hayter in his remarks spake of the work being done in County roads in Huron. As a member of the County Road Com- mittee he spoke of the Benmiller bridge project which is almost complete and of construction roads between Khiva and Mount Carmel, Brucefield and Varna and other, projects. One project that may be done next Spring is the 2 1/2 mile stretch of the Kippen road from Seaforth south to the Y in the road. Reeve Hayter spoke ,of his intention t o be 'a candidate for warden.

He also spoke on Conservation and Pollution. Councillors Tom Consitt, Calvin Horton and JohnScotch- mer reported on township business affairs carried out during the year. Dr. Smith in his remarks ex- pressed his concern of spending by the Huron Board of Education because, of the effect on the tax rate. In this he referred to spending that is not necessary. "The Board took almost the two year term before starting the tendering system," he said. He expressed concern too that the bussing system for students has not been rationalized. Dr. Smith said, "I feel as the first Board they have fumbled badly. They have overlooked the necessary changes in educational reform". Garlic Aids Flavouring Garlic is a versatile flavor enhancer. It can be used subtly so it goes almost unnoticed, ter lavishly to please a devout garlic lover. Fresh garlic keeps well under cool, dry conditiorfs, so it can be kept on hand for season- ing foods all year round, say home economists. Whenever possible fresh garlic should be used be- cause it will give better flavor than the powders and salts, which tend to have rancid overtones. Use fresh garlic minced, chopped, pressed, or whole. To press garlic, peel the clove, sprinkle with salt to make it soft, then put into the press and force through. The garlic press, a very inexpensive kitchen tool, should be a part of every garlic- lover's kitchen. The Mexican method of sim- mering the whole unpeeled garlic bulb in meat stock will give a mild garlic flavor. The bulb is removed before the stock is used. For flavoring a tossed green salad with garlic, try a chapon or a crouton. The chapon is a crust of bread rubbed,with garlic, tossed with the salad, then •re- moved before serving. The crouton is preferred by those who like a stronger garlic flavor. ACROSS 54 Painful Songs Mother Sang DRYER Check the features on' this CGE dryer.

She said she favored Home Economics and Industrial Arts • being started as a pilot project in the S.P.S. "The Department of Education in London has sug- gested these subjects and is in favor of them. They have told us that these rooms are entirely covered by grant if the rooms will be used 80% of the time. We have. guaranteed its useage 100% by bringing in the grades '7 and 8 of Hullett Central School and Huron Centennial School. The bussing of these children is also partially covered by grants", she said. Mrs. Kunder emphasized the desirability that there be con- tieeltylan the board and asked the audience for support in returning her for a second term: In his remarks Mr. Broadfoot, who also served the past term as a trustee, told the meeting that in his opinion a trustees job was to provide the best possible education at a reasonable cost. He reviewed the extent to which standards in elementary schools had been raised to a common standard since 1968 particularly in the areas of libraries, French, science, remedial reading and P. T. ro During the past three years school population had increased from 12,554 to 13,493 pupils but despite increased numbers costs had been held in line. This had been accomplished by economies resulting from introduction of recognized business practises. He gave as an example purchase of fuel oil where reductions rang- ing from 1% to 27.5% had resulted. He told the meeting he would be a candidate and asked for support.

C2507 V 0 NJ With replacement Calves and yearlings coming into the Ontario Beef feedlots at relatively strong t prices, it is imperative that the feedlot operator do the best pos- sible job of management he can in order to increase his profits according to S. J. Paquette, Associate Agricultural Re- presentative for Huron County. Once the replacements are settled down and over the stress of moving, they should be treated for Warbles, he said. The proper time for treat- ment is after activity of the' Warble fly has ceased and before the Warble grub has reached the back area. Treat before Novem- ber 30th, if possible. Treatment after November 30th must be done under the supervision of a vet- erinarian. Cost of treatment with a systemic is from about 250 per 400 pound calf up to 501 for an 800 pound yearling. Your returns should be $5.00 for each $1.00 spent on systemics. Mr. Paquette warned that when preparing to treat cattle with a systemic insecticide to be sure to read the label care- fully and follow the manufac- turer's directions. In cases of side effects such as severe bloat, stiffness and rapid breathing which could be caused by overdose or treatment of un- healthy animals, he re- commended a veterinary be con- tacted immediately. n a NJ a N V -1 A. 0 J_ N I S`17' saav 0s SJV 0 Answer 1 0 N 0 a V .110 H 38 Weight of India 40 Middle (law) 41 Pacific screw pine 42 Of the ear 43 Western state 44 Holder of bachelor's degree (ab.) 45 Wings 46 East Indian palm 48 Kipling character 49 Epoch 22 Mother of Achilles (myth.) composer 23 District in 6 Obtain Asia Minor 7 Freudian 24 Infantile word term for "mother" 8 Small swift 25 Grows older galley (naut.) 26 Stage setting 9 Japanese coin 27 Law 10 Stream in 28 Ibsen France character 11 Art style 29 Graceful 17 Yttrium oxide aquatic bird 19 Single (comb. 31 Peaceful form) 37 Of the hour $595 4 r J J...
