TB Seal Sale Chairman Says Volunteers Needed Practical Solutions Less Costly Claims S.O.S. Spokesman Votes for Revised Hydro Rates Hydro officials from muni- cipal utilities throughout Geor- gian Bay on Thursday approved proposals for a new power cost- ing system throughout Ontario. The 40th annual convention of District 2, Ontario Municipal Electric Association at the El- gin House, Muskoka, approved the revision without dissent. OMEA is a province-wide association of elected hydro commissioners which works closely with Ontario Hydro in directing the province's public power enterprise. The new power costing sys- tem approved by the meeting, attended by close to 300 dele- gates and their wives, evolves from a two-year study by On- tario Hydro at the request of OMEA. The proposal would mean greater uniformity in the wholesale rates at which the province's 356 municipal elec- trical utilities buy power from Hydro. District 2 is the seventh of a total of nine OMEA districts to endorse the system which fully retains the financial equities of municipal utilities in the pro- vince's hydro system. Remain- ing districts will consider the proposals in the next few days. The new system would make for closer pooling of the costs of distributing electricity and revise the method of calculat- ing debt retirement charges. If adopted by a majority of muni- cipalities it will become effec- tive January 1. OMEA president Dr. R. H. Hay, of Kingston, explained that the wholesale costs for more than 300 municipalities would likely decrease as a re- sult of the revision. Where in- creases in the wholesale cost of power would occur, they would be so small it is unlikely they would affect retail rates. "The individual consumer won't see any change in power costs except that rates will tend to be more uniform between each municipality," he said. "Greater stability in retail power rates from year to year will also result." Other topics dealt with at the two-day meeting included sales and advertising, electric heating, safety in utility oper- ations, and pensions and insur- ance for employees. Councillor E.W.

Dungannon Oct. 1 A total of 430 persons in Huron County were X-rayed during the summer months at regular clinics conducted by the Huron County Tuberculosis As- sociation. Included were a number of foodhandlers. The information was con- tained in a report prepared by R. B. Paterson, case-finding chairman, and presented in his absence by the association sec- retary, Mrs. B. Davidson, at a meeting of the association in Clinton on Thursday evening. George Watt, Blyth, the presi- dent, was in charge of the meet , ing. Council Backs Area School Bd. On New School East Wawanosh Township Council will support the E. W. Public School Area Board in its proposal to build a nine room central school and prepare by- laws for the procuring of de- bentures of $260,000.00. The motion was passed at last weeks meeting. Dear Sir: As a taxpayer in Huron County School Area number one and a member of the West Stanley SOS Committee, I at- tended a meeting of the Stan- ley Township School Board last week. The meeting was call- ed for 8:30 at S. S. # 4 East. Forty-five residents of West Stanley Township and a few from Bayfield, all members of the SOS Committee, filled the one room school. We were kept waiting for over an hour. Three members of the Board and the Board Secretary were present during this waiting period. The Chairman, Mr. John Taylor, apparently reluc- tant to start the meeting with- out his majority of one, stayed outside. Parliamentary pro- cedure indicates that meetings called for a certain hour should start at that hour when a quorum is present. When the fifthinem- bet of the Board finally appear- ed at a quarter to ten, the meeting was opened with the reading of the minutes of the August meeting. After the reading, Mr. Jas. Cleave, Board representative Mr. and Mrs. B. Tomlinson,Mr. and Mrs. Robert Clark and Mr. and Mrs. E. Langham, all of Petrolia were guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. Kerr on Sunday. Mrs. R. Bricker spent Saturday with Mrs. R.H.F. Gairdner,her fath- er Canon H. Langfc rd who had spent from West Stanley drew to the attention of the Secretary that no mention had been made of the price quotation of $580, 000 (later changed to $575,000) for the proposed 16 room central school a mile south of Bruce- field. This plan according to Mr. Burrows, school inspector, had been accepted by Toronto, in spite of the fact that it had not been acceptable to the West Stanley SOS Committee, This omission from the minutes was rectified at the behest of Mr. Cleave. Mr. Burrows, who ap- parently had attended the pre- vious meeting was also report- ed to have said that the SOS Committee was responsible for the delay in building the pro- posed central school. During discussion, in the period of business arising from the reading of the minutes, Mr. Paul Steckle, speaking for the large group of parents and tax- payers from West Stanley, brought to the attention of the School Board a page from the London Free Press (Monday cept_ 6) giving a list of new schools and additions which have been built, or are in the process, throughout Ontario. The prices quoted, in all in- stances but one, were away be- low the cost of the sixteen room school plan which Mr. Burrows said had been accepted by Tor- onto, in spite of protests of the SOS Committee. Mr. Steckle also pointed out that the alle- gation in a recent letter to the Clinton News Record that the signatures of West Stanley resi- dents on the petition favoring the Bayfield School addition had been gained under pres- sure, was entirely false. He also refuted the statement made by Mr. Burrows that names on the petition meant nothing, by stating emphatically that all who signed did so in good faith and would stand behind their signatures in any action neces- sary. Furthermore, he empha- sized the point that West Stan- ley parents had been the initi- ators in asking that their child- ren attend an enlarged Bayfield school rather than have them taken by bus to the proposed school south of Brucefield. Mr. Taylor and his majority of one had nothing to say. The meet- ing adjourned after a few minor points of business were dealt with. Since that meeting I have been examining the price list of schools and additions as re- ported in the Free Press and found that Chatham had build (for $50,000.00) a two room addition plus a general purpose room, a board room and office.
