SCHOOL COSTOUT OF LINE
Geogian Bay Dist.
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.

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.

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.

A general election would be

and could stop believing that
he alone can run the country,
without help from Conserva-

(c) If T. C. Douglas were
nor a professing socialist bent on
undermining stability and
