The board agreed to write a letter to the Goderich town council asking if council has given any consideration to these points. St. Joseph's School in Stratford also requested that the board inform the Stratford Traffic Commission of its concern for the safety of the children and request the provision of a sidewalk along the West side of St. Vincent Street from West Gore Street to Patricia Road. The board agreed to inform the Stratford Traffic Commission of its concern, immediately. The Stratford area World Aid committee requested that the separate school board allow posters to be hung in their schools advertising a roll-a-thon to raise money for the town of Pat Itto Costa Rica.

Monday, October 20, was Professional Development Day in the Huron County Elementary Schools. Huron Centennial staff, including secretary, Mrs, Elder, and custodians, Mr. Keys and Mr. McAsh, motored by bus on Sunday, October 19 to Toronto. Sunday's program included visits to the Ontario Science Centre, McLaughlin Planetarium presentation, and the Royal Ontario Museum. On Monday morning a visit to Shoreham Drive Elementary School in North York was an interesting experience, There, they saw a school using the open concept method of organizing classes, and teachers teaching in teams of three. In this set-up, teachers working together in a team must respect each others work, and be able to equally share the work load. Teacher congeniality is imperaitve to the scheme. After having lunch, the staff boarded the bus and the last stop was at the Ontario Agricultural Museum at Milton. This museum of agricultural artifacts from pioneer days until the present, is not completed. The manager, Mr. Bob Carbett, formerly of CKNX, Wingham, toured the building With the staff explaining what was there, and telling them of his hopes for the future. Trip to Camp Sylvan At the end of September and beginning of October, the Grade 8 students of Huron Centennial School left for Rock Glenn and Camp Sylvan. After about an hour's drive reached Rock Glenn. The leaders told the group many interesting facts about the area. Everyone then explored the stream and different rock for- mations in the gorge. After lunch, the group drove to Camp Sylvan. Everyone met at the Wagon Circle to be assigned to a covered wagon. The zone forester took the group to a woodlot where they identified a variety of trees, They measured trees for value and age. After this, they had orien- teering directed by Miss Young, the camp co-ordinator. Following supper everyone enjoyed a fun game of soccer, The group had Tree Iden- tification and Mr, Desjardine taught some Astronomy. Mr. Mathers took everyone on a Mystery Tour into a bush where a haunting story was told, The following day, Mrs, Moffatt told the group the history of Sylvan village and they visited the sites of the old village and the cemetery. Two very serious financial questions are being asked of Ontario Hydro at the present time, and answers to the questions were supplied to Public Utility Commissioners from across western Ontario at the annual meeting of district seven of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association held at the Exeter Legion Hall on Wednesday. George Currie of Ontario Hydro head office in Toronto and former regional manager in London said the two questions were 'Why does Ontario Hydro need a rate increase of from 25 to 30 percent?' and 'How will Ontario Hydro raise capital needed for expansion?' Answering the first question, Mr, Currie outlined a host of reasons for increased rates, the largest being the increase in the price of coal. This factor alone would cost Ontario Hydro $170 million more than last year, an increase of 143 percent. The cost of coal represents 32 percent of the variable costs. Electricity cost 80.78 per kilowatt in 1975 and will jump to 104,96 in 1976, OntarioHydrowere actually selling power at 76.11 per kilowatt in 1975, less than it cost to produce, Mr. Currie said Ontario Hydro was asked by the Ontario government to implement a 10 percent cut in administrative costs in 1976 plus the saving of $1 billion in capital expansion. Ontario Hydro, he stated have planned a $30 million saving in administration in 1976 and have deferred construction of capital expansion, including the Bruce B station, for six months. "Half of the increase now needed is due to insufficient rates charged in 1975,' said Mr. Currie. "The Ontario Energy Board has recommended that in the future Ontario Hydro insure that rates are high enough to cover all costs.' Lions Continued from front page women. "All of them care deeply about human needs, he said, "and we Lions will benefit from their talents and dedication," The speaker was introduced by Glenn Kells and thanked by Peter Raymond. The latter told the speaker that the wives of the Exeter club members do assist to a great degree and added "they help us out, because they let us out". An induction of the new members was conducted at- Thursday's meeting. Joining the club were Doug Ellison, George Godbolt, Rob Grant, Ross Mathers and Brian Smillie, They were welcomed by president Frank Giffin. Larry Snider gave a report on the CNIB canvass, indicating that $2,647.92 had been turned in to date and other areas still had to be canvassed. It was announced that Lions Armchair Bingo would start in early November and that a Grey Cup day would be held at the Pineridge Chalet on November 23. PUC hosts Continued from front page areas but on a far broader level, he concluded. • D. A. Beattie, secretary- treasurer of the Ontario Electric League, also spoke to the meeting, relating how that organization was very concerned about the inspection of elec- trically heated homes since Ontario Hydro cut its staff of inspectors as part of its austerity program. He said his organization and Ontario Hydro were setting up courses in community colleges to train personnel to take over this responsibility. Mr. Beattie suggested that construction requirements would be set similar to standards now required by Ontario Hydro by January 1976. KIRKTON Little Marc Tinney, Hensall is visiting this week with his uncle and aunt, Mr. & Mrs. Lloyd Fletcher and family of Kirkton. Mr, Currie stated that the latest increase suggested, 25.1 percent, would cost the average Hydro customer $2.50 to $3.00 more per month. He reminded those present that hydro costs are only about two-thirds of what is spent on cigarettes in the average home and only about one-half of what is spent on alcohol, Comparing the cost of elec- trical power to the labour rates, Mr. Currie said that the amount of power purchased by the average worker for an hour's toil Alan B, Cousins, president of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association told district seven members holding their annual meeting at the Exeter Legion Hall that it is easy to see ob- jections of the public to 'unresponsive big government and big business,' "It does seem that the bigger our institutions become the less responsive they are to individual citizens and people are becoming increasingly frustrated at the remoteness of big business and big government," said Mr. Cousins, "Local municipal ownership of electric service on the other hand provides the in- dividuals with a share in the control of an essential service." Mr. Cousins also warned that the recent cuts demanded of Ontario Hydro by the Ontario government may have a drastic effect on the availability of power in Ontario. He said that 'con- cerned citizens groups,' while well-meaning, could seriously affect Ontario Hydro's ability to serve the consumer. It is necessary, Mr. Cousins suggested to do a public relations program pointing out the position of Ontario Hydro and the local utilities. Mr. Cousins also lashed out at a group of large corporations which have formed a group called :the Association of Major Power Consumers of Ontario. He said these modern day 'robber ISABEL YOUNG Isabel Young, wife of J. Alex Young of 228 Main Street in Lucan, passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital in London on Saturday, October 25, 1975.

Mary Mills of St, Thomas Anglican Church, Granton of- ftciating, in 1975 will be available in 1976 at About the equivalent of 40 minutes pay. A second. Ontario Hydro speaker, J. B. ,lyla.cl).onald manager of power marketing Analysis, pointed out that there Was a much higher investment needed for a profit in electrical power generation than in any other industry. He showed charts which in- dicated that Ontario consumers were paying less for electricity than their counterparts in most other areas of North America. barons' had stated they were willing to engage in energy conservation and management methods only if they would receive adequate compensation in appropriate rate reductions. Mr. Cousins said that the Ontario Municipal Electric Association is, "deeply con- cerned, that the 37-40 members of a group known as the Association of Major Power Consumers in Ontario should attempt to represent themselves as ,another wholesale function within the power distribution system of Ontario, and seek specific privileges not available to others." Citing statements made by the association, Mr. Cousins referred to an April news story quoting Mr. W. K. Voss, Vice President of the Ontario Paper Company and a spokesman for major power consumers, as saying, their in- dustrial group wasbeingasked to shoulder an unfair burden of an unjustified rise in capital costs. While a subsequent story in July, also originating with the same group, stated that Oakville (a municipal wholesale customer of Ontario Hydro) pays 13 percent more to Ontario Hydro than the direct industrial retail customers of Ontario Hydro, for the same amount of power. This story went on to list Port Credit, Mississauga, Hamilton, Toronto and Nepean as other examples of municipalities who pay more for their power than the direct in- dustrial customers of Ontario Hydro. "This obvious advantage over industrial customers served by municipal utilities cannot honestly be identified as an ' 'unfair burden' ", stressed Mr. Cousins, JAN BREGMAN Jan Bregman, Exeter passed away at St. Joseph's Hospital, London, Tuesday, October 28, 1975 in his seventy-fifth year. He is survived by his wife the former Helen Bos, three sons, Robert of Teeswater, Hendrik of Goderich and John of Winnipeg and one daughter Mrs. Lloyd (Ann) Keller of Huron Park.

Set up boundaries for your child and if you can go with them, do so. Leave your porch lights on. Remove all furniture from your verandah. Invite youngsters in your home for trick or treats. Don't allow them to carry torches or candles, Use flashlights. Remind them to use the sidewalk and not the road. Let's all have a good time and a happy Halloween.
