School to Huron Road; that there
be an extension of side-walks on
Bayfield Road to the intersection
of Bennett Street; and that traffic
light be installed at the in-
tersection of Bayfield Road and
Bennett Streets.
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.
John Vintar, director of
education, said he felt this was a
worthwhile project and "I would
recommend this motion be
passed."
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

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,

The board approved the ad-
vertising and posting of posters in
their schools.
In further business, a motion
was moved by John O'Drowsky
and seconded by Vince Young for
the board to consider hiring a
part-time, at least half-time,
family life co-ordinator. After
much discussion as to whether
this program would run into
conflict with religion classes, it
was agreed that the two
programs, Religion and Family
Life should be kept separate as
they are two seperate and
distinct programs. The motion
was passed.
The board agreed to rent one of
their portable classrooms to a
public school in Listowel from
January 1, 1976 to June 30, 1976,
for the sum of $1,000, plus the cost
of moving the portable and
relocating it.
The board has hired a part time
music teacher, Alice Marjorie
Graham, for St. Michael's School
in Stratford.
