Announce mcreos,p
in Ont. Hydro .rates,
My
sincere
thanks
to honour those who gave their
all. The conflict which follow.*
ed in 1939 to 1945 added Many
thousands more to , the list of
those who joined the White Bat-
talion, and so, we remember
them also on this day of Remem-
brance.
There are many still living*?
whose sacrifice we should also
remember. They are the pat-
ients in the Veteran's hospi-
tals; who because-of their wounds
are destined to spend the rest
of their lives being treated in
hospitals all over Canada. So
for all these gallant men and wok,
men who gave so much, we
show our thanks on this day for
their unselfish sacrifice, the re-
sult of which we are privileged
to live in peace and to work
and profit without fear of On-
fiscation.
The Royal Canadian Le-
gion Branches do what they can
and help in' many ways to make
their suffering a little easier.
If it were not for the generous
help of you, the general public,
thiSThelp would not be possible.
BusinesSes who close their
doors on Remembrance Day show **,
their respect and appreciation --
a small sacrifice of -a day's
profit' gladly given.
There are home' whoSe mem-
ory has been dimmed by time who
•think that because ,the war has
long been over, to close their
places of business would indeed •
be an empty gesture and could
do no possible good. We must
never forget what we have gained
'through the sacrifice of others.
Branch 156 is fortunate in
receiving such wonderhil support
from all the citizens Of Seaforth,
Egmondville and the surround-
ing area. .
Remembrance Day is • for
everyone not just for Vet-
erans. A Remembrance Day
Service is being held at the Cen- •
otaph at 11100 a.m. on the 11th
of November. You can express
your' appreciation and remem-
brance by, attending, this short
service.
Again this year we'say, "If
you can't remember, think."

AYH R
Based on rising trends in
energy costa, rate increases for
all OntarioHydro customers
were announced today by Hydro
Chairman George Gathercole.
Interim wholesale rates to
municipal commissions will rise
by an average of 8 per cent,
while the average increase ,to
direct industrial customers will
be 12 per cent. Both of these
increases are effective January
1, 1973. To retail customers
(cottages, farms and rural rest.:
dences), the average increase
is 10 per cent and is effective
on bills payable .February 5,
1973. There has been no in-
crease in rates to Ontario Hydro
direct inductrial and rural Cus-
tomers in the last two years,
Mereas there wa s an increase
of 8 per cent in the interim
rates to municipal electric utili-
ties effective last July 1.
Mr. Gathercole cited inflation
and resultant escalation in costs
of equipment and supplies, in-
terest rates, wages and salaries,
fuels and anti-pollution measures
as the causes for the raise.
The Province's 3 50 municipal
utilities, 91 large industrial cus-
tomers served directly by' Ont-
tario Hydro and some 600,000
rural consumers are affected.
Mr. Gathercole said the rate
increases -will not be sufficient
-alone to meet rising costs and
that withdrawals will have to
be made from the reserve fund.
Generally speaking, this fund has
been established to absorb
the cost of such factors as varia-
tion in stream flows, major phy-
sical damage to plant, delays in
bringing- gererating plants into
service, and exchange risk on
debts payable in foreign cur-
rency.
A year ago
'
'Hydro advised
its customers that in spite of
intensive cost pressures, there
would be a temporary deferment
of a rate increase because of
the state of the economy. With
the improvement in economic
conditions, an interim increase
of ,8 per cent to municipal com-
missions was made on July 1.
But no increase was made at that
time to the large industrial cus-
tomers,, whose' contracts 'run
from January 1 to December 31st,
or to rural customers.
• Mr. Gathercole said, "in re-
cent years, after a long period
of rate stability or decline
'
spi-
ralling inflation has -begun to ef-
0
fect electric costs and rates. In-
terest rates on 'borrowed capital,
wages and salaries and the price
of property, supplies and mat-.
erials have been rising faster
than savings resulting from
rising consumption per customer
and other economy measures.
"Because Hydro has to op-
erate at cost, rate increases
in recent ,years have had to fol-
low the upward trend in cost of
most other g6ods and services
and wages and salaries. For
example, between 1961 and 1971,
the average cost per kilowatt-
hour to municipal residential
customers• rose 18.6 per cent,
but during the same period the
consumer price index jumped
33.4 per cent and the average
Ontario wage and salary in-
creased 75.9 per cent."
To meet 'the increasing
demand for power, he said
Hydro is forced to build more
thermal generating plants. Here
Hydro is faced not only with
rising fuel prices but also cost-
ly anti-pollution control mea-.
sures.
"Inflation is the industry's
most grievous problem. How-
ever, an analysis of prices of
other energy sources also re-
veals a sharp upward trend. And
taking into account its long his-
tory' of rate stability, we believe
electricity will continue to be
a remarkable bargain," said Mr.
Gathercole.
