HEE BELMORE DAUPHIN & GRANT TEESWATER When King Winter makes an all-out attack; man can do little but repair the damage as fast as possible. Recent power breaks in Niagara and Western Ontario areas were the direct result of unusual and severe storm conditions: Because of the flexibility provided by its unified, province-wide organize., lion, Hydro was able to rush emergency repair crews from other parts of Ontario to restore power. Every effort was directed to this end: To all consumers who suffered in these storm areas, Hydro expresses its thanks and appreciation for their patience and understanding in a difficult and trying situation. At all times Hydro safeguards service by endeavouring to locale lines free from trees and by tree trimming. t Present storm "damages illustrate the' advisability of these methods: During this winter period, storms and power shortage present great operating problems for Hydro.
