HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1971-11-25, Page 3Ontario Hydro is maintaining rates set a year ago for supplying power to municipal utility systems and a group of 88 large industrial customers, Last November Hydro told its customers that rate increases over several Yeats would be required to equate revenues with costs. In a letter sent to the utilities this week, Hydro Chariman George Gathercole said, "The Commission recognized the desirability in the present period of aOustment and unemployment of avoiding any action that would hamper or impede the special public measures that have been adopted to stimulate the economy. "Accordingly, it has been decided to maintain far the time being the interim rates that have been effective in 1971. The shortfall in revenue will be met in part by a special withdrawal from the Rate Stabilization Reserve," he said. The reserve was created to cushion the impact of rate adjustments resulting from financial and technological contingencies such as low stream flow conditions; severe breakdowns or in-service deferments of generating stations and transmission facilities; increases in foreign debt payments associated with unfavourable movements in exchange rates, and exceptionally adverse economic circumstances. Mr. Gathercole went on to say that the deferment of the Previously announced rate increase "must be considered as temporary or short term,. for, rising costs must ultimately be met out of the proceeds of rates. It cannot be employed to buck the long term increase in the cost of power," The letter indicated that Hydro had given careful consideration to the economic uncertainties that exist, and the special measures adopted by' the federal and provincial governments to stimulate employment and achieve a resurgence in the economy. "Our most recent analysis of power costs confirms that there has been very little abatement, if any, of upward trends, The price paid for fuel for our thermal generating stations and other equipment and supplies has continued to rise. The increasing concern for the quality of the environment has required the installation of highly sophisticated anti-pollution equipment and the use of more costly fuels. "The inexorable escalation in wage and salary rates, particularly those for construction skills, has exerted a strong upward thrust which will inevitable affect our costs for a number of years. To maintain the financial viability of our enterprise, revenues must ultimately be adjusted to equate costs," said Mr. Gathercole, Hydro, said the Chairman, intends to review the situation during the coming year.

PRYOR and SON CLINTON — EXETER — SEAFORTH LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE CLARENCE DENOMME DAYS NIGHTS 482-9505 482-9004 Her Excellency Mrs. Roland Michener has extended her patronage to the OXFAM- CANADA SARI APPEAL for the Pakistani women in the refugee camps of India. To date, there are nearly three million female refugees in India, 170,000 of whom are registered in OXFAM camps. Their numbers are increasing daily and members of the OXFAM Field Team have strongly stressed the need for saris. The OXFAM SARI APPEAL is an attempt to meet that need. Some women ate wearing saris which hardly cover their nakedness. Others must have an additional sari so that they can change and bathe-a basic and fundamental need in their desperate condition, It is true that the monsoon season is ending, But winter is coming and these people must be clothed. OXFAM appeals to the women of Canada on the basis of One Dollar per Sari-a small sum of money which will pay large dividends in warmth, cleanliness, and protection-and perhaps more important,, in human dignity. Your donation can be made to OXFAM SARI APPEAL, 280 Moor St. West, Toronto 180, Ontario. Please mark cheques "Sari Appeal".

With the first sign of snow, old Mr, Cardinal pule to the feeding station, sat on the wind vane, flipped his tail end looked towards the house, When the snow went, he didn't bother to come back during Indian Summer. Carl cleaned out the station, scraped the floor and sprinkled fresh sand over it, Then he filled up the tin with tine, Lakeshore grit against the time the ground is all covered with snow and the birds need it for digestion of food, One year when there was no food in the feeding station, the evening grossbeak scout brought a small flock to it. Luerefirmised that it was to get the fine gravel from the tin in the corner, as the snow was deep, Tom Hayman, writing in his column "World Outdoors" on Nov. 18 in the London Free Press, advised people to keep warm water outside for the birds, especially in the mornings, And that reminded Lucy that years ago when she raised chickens, she often thawed the hens' water, dumped the ice out and warmed the fresh supply. Now of course, our up-to-date method for the birds is to put an immersion heater attached to an electric cord in the bird bath. Mr. Hayman also suggested a few drops of glycerine in the water to prevent a drinking fountain from freezing. After discussing various bird seed mixtures and baby chick, food, he emphasizes that the oil in sunflower seeds is essential to the birds in cold weather. Carl has been putting squash and sunflower seeds in the feeder. If old Mr. Cardinal got any of them, it was before Carl was up in the morning. But the Bluejay has been feasting and the black-capped chickadees were seen carrying off the big squash seeds. Carl also cleaned the suet feeder, not exactly a pleasant job as black fat coated the fine gravel screen of which it is made. Then he put some fresh scraps of fat in it and right away the Downie Woodpecker got his share, All the birds try to get a morsel of fat. The Bluejay is really quite a scavenger. Carl put out some pie crust on the fence under the chestnut tree for Clarabelle. It disappeared, so he put out some more. But it wasn't the squirrel that got it; the bluejay made off with it. He also gorged himself on some mashed potatoes which were thrown out. On the 8:30 broadcast over CKNX radio on Nov. 18, a report of an American Redstart being captured north of Toronto was read. It stated that it was being kept in a cage to try and keep it alive, that it belonged south of the border and must have made an. error and flown north instead of south. Poor little Redstart! How long will you live in such confinement? You who dart so quickly here and there, catching insects on the wing, scouring the highest tree tops for insects on the leaves and larvae. Only rarely do you take some seeds and occasionally a yery little fruit. This member of the warbler family summers and breeds right across Canada from British Columbia and southeastern Alaska to Fort Norman through north-central Saskachewan and Manitoba, Ontario, South of James Bay, through southern and Central Quebec to Labrador and Newfoundland. Because it is named "American" Redstart, certainly doesn't confine it to south of the border, although it also summers in some of the states. They winter from Mexico, Cuba and Puerto Rico south to Ecuador and Northern Brazil. We have American Redstarts in this vicinity every year but one doesn't see them in numbers since each pair requires an acre of ground in which to nest and no other American Redstart will build in that area since it is also the feeding gournd, Also they are very shy birds. A pair nested in a young maple tree one year about 20 feet from the sunroom window at The Hut. No one ever saw them fly into the tree and we did not know they had nested there until later in the season when their beautiful woven nest was blown out of the tree. Carl looked around the tree and found some white egg shells with brawn spots thrown out of the nest when the young hatched. He had observed the pair on, the driveway one day. The male stretches hiS wings and tail;,ta,sho,w, off his, and orange patches on black l itek,revings and tale'end tine sides of the body under the wings. The female is white ancl"greY" with yellow patches. Both have white underparts, That year Lucy saw an immature male going over the American Pillar rose on the fence outside her bedroom window. All members of the warbler family consume an immence number of insects and larvae each summer and so are of great benefit to our economy. Lucy thinks that the bird captured north of Toronto could have been buffetted by winds in migration and separated from the flock. It may have put down, torest and recuperate its strength before going on south with a migration of other birds. ELECTP.OHOME .. an extra degree at. excellence.
