INCREASED SERVICE CHARGE The accounts this month from the Hydro department of the Public Utilities show an increase in the ser vice charge for all customers opera ting a hydro stove or using the 3- wire service. The service charge to these customers has been doubled. This action has been taken by the Ontario Hydro Commission and ef fects all users throughout the pro vince. The reason given for the increase is to make the charge equit able to the consumers. The three wire service demands larger trans formers and heavier wires on the main lines than does the two-wire service and therefore such users should pay a higher rate. The in crease in the service charge affects about 100 families in town and the increased revenue derived amount to between three and hundred dollars a. year. will four POST-NUPTIAL SHOWER AND PRESENTATION Mrs. William W.
