NO POWER CUT- OFFS THIS WEEK The heavy rains of the past week were a blessing to hydro consumers in Wingham, and fpr this week we have had no power cut-offs. With the river running full the local power plant is operating 23 hours a day and generating sufficient power to keep the town within its quota. Unfortunately we do not know how long the supply of water will last, and when it diminishes less power will be generated and cut-offs again will have to be resorted to. Even while we are experiencing no cut-offs use your electricity sparingly and thus prolong our good fortune.

The matter of signs to be placed at the approaches of the town caused a good deal of discussion but it was fin- ally left in the hands of the Publicity Committee. The Hydro shortage was next under fire, The discussion finally produced a motion that the Chamber of Commerce write a letter to our Public Utilities Commission stating that the Chamber favours the purchase of a 250 H.P. Deisel motor to operate the Auxiliary generator. While the cost would be high it would prevent heavy payroll losses in the local in- dustries, The Chamber favoured im- mediate action and wanted to offer its assistance and support if needed, to facilitate matters.
