POWER BILL The Exeter Public Utilities Com­ mission have received from the On­ tario Hydro- Power annual 13th Power credit for $821.78 profits for the year 458.3to. The 13 th the off the not Commission the Bill which is a and brings the 19(31 up to $2,- Povver Bill is. the difference in the amount charg­ ed by the commission throughout the year for -power and the actual cost of the power. The 13th Power bill Jast year was a credit for $1,- 499.10 so that the returns this year are $677.00 short of what they were last year. The local commission had a slightjy better showing throughout the year but due to power consumption dropping throughout Western Ontario Ontario Power Commission were able to return as much as the prev­ ious year. During the past year the local commission have had consider­ able equipment added to the plant in the form of new lines and trans­ formers investing- $.4037.06 of the surplus already on, hand. At present the Ontario Commission are install­ ing three new transformers at the local Station. These transformers have a capacity of 250 killowajts each and are replacing three old trans­ formers with a capacity of 1'50 killo- wats each. The old transformers were installed inside the hydro building but the new transformers are being installed outside of the building. The cost of these trans­ formers will be spread over a period of some twenty to. twenty-five years and will be born by the various mun­ icipalities of the Exeter Power Dis­ trict fed from the Exeter sub-sta- tion. The Exeter system has been kept in splendid condition. At the present time the local commission have on hand in cash and govern­ ment bond's $10,73S.’57 a portion of which will have to be used this year to continue the extension of heavier lines, and this reflects great credit on, the .Commission and the local superintendent Mr. H.

Friday evening last. Large and OP* preciative audiences which almost filled Leavitt’s Theatre were- present for the six entertainment^ and almost everyone was practical* ly thrilled with some parts of tho program. The programs were go rounded out as to make its appeal to all lovers of music and art, The program opened night with O drama of "Bought and Paid For, afternoon of the second terestjng travelogue on was given by Mrs, Albert Vierra* The audence was taken in fancy on. a trip to these interesting islands of the South Sea and many interr esting stories of the history and .folk lore delighted the audience. The evening’s, program was a music production of an evening in Hawaii by Vierra’s Hawaiians., The scen­ ery with the colorful setting of tro* pical splendour showing the rippling waters, a lighthouse in the distance a dreamy moon, and the eruption of a volcano, was a splendid setting for the music rendered by the play­ erg, on their native instruments1 and was greatly enjoyed by music lovers. The program on Thursday night was one of outstanding merit anti will not soon be forgotten. The first part of the program consisted of musical numbers by Hugo Brandt, Polish pianist and composed whose interpretation of classic, poimlar, operatic and natonal airs was much enjoyed. The climax of the enter­ tainment wag. reached in the address by Elwood' T. Bailey “All Aboard.” A synopsis of which is on page 4. On Friday afternoon Sue Hagt- ing’s Marionettes provided a- host c£ fun for the children as well as the grownups present. The largest crowd was present on this occasion, due to the numerous children pres­ ent. This program, was a unique performance on a minature stage and introduced such well known, characters as “peter Rabbit”, Micky Mouse”, "Little Red Riding Hood” and other favourites dear to the. heart of the children. The show was quite elaborate and the unseen per­ formers handled their many actors with considerable skill. The even­ ing performance by the Havalon players was a three-act farce come­ dy "Old Crusty Takes the Air.” The actors brought forth rounds of laughter and was. a happy ending of a splendid festival. Mr, and Mrs. Gearislx were members of the cast this being their third visit to Exeter over the Chautauqua circuit. Financially the Chautauqua went behind this year but there was a suf­ ficient balance in the treasury as to more than meet the deficit and a new committee of twenty-six mem­ bers who have signed up for another year will have a substantial surplus to start off with. Before Chautauqua came to Exe­ ter a strong opinion prevailed that in view of the times Exeter would drop out from the Chautauqua cir­ cuit but with the splendid and worthwhile entertainment provided at the minimum of cost it was felt that it would be a loss to1 the com­ munity should Chautauqua be drop­ ped. On every hand it was freely, expressed that the lecture of Dr. , Bailey was well worth the price of the season ticket. •Miss Thackery the local supervis- oi’ made many friends during her stay in Exeter.
