doubt weather was a factor.
Mr. Smith congratulated the
Executive members and told

by these members who sere
as Advisory Board Chair-

frustration was experienced
in the beginning of the year

where the Authority can now
go as fast or as slow as
it wishes depending on its
own initiative and its finan-
ces.

Authority had moved into its
own headquarters at Wrox.

If you're looking for a place to start on
home improvements, consider
these facts about electric wiring.
To most people, home improvements
mean a panelled recreation room or a
shiny new set of kitchen cupboards. But
there's a way to improve the improve-
ments: modernize your home wiring first.
Up-to-date wiring lets you make the
most of the new room you're building, or
the old one you're re-styling. It lets you
place your lighting wherever you like,
have as many electrical outlets as you
choose, and use as many appliances as
you need without popping fuses.
In fact, you'll notice pleasant changes
all through your home. Modern wiring
can improve the efficiency of your light-
ing and the performance of your appli-
ances. It puts such comforts as electric
heating and air conditioning well within
your reach. It can also make a big differ-
ence to the safety and re-sale value of
your home. Before you reach for your
toolbox, reach for your telephone. Call
a qualified electrical contractor, or your
Hydro.
Up-to-date wiring
costs less than you may s9,
think. Yet it could be your
most important home
improvement of all.
