EXTRA EQUIPMENT
AT PRINTING OFFICE
Things were a little hectic at the
Advance-Times office the latter part
of last week. A second typesetting
machine was shipped in on Friday
and it took the combined staff of this
paper and The Mildmay Gazette to
move everything in the place about
three times in order to get the new
machine into position,
The new unit adds several extra,
type faces to the range available in
our shop and will, we sincerely hope,
speed up production of both news-
paper and commercial printing de-
partments, It, carries three main
"magazines", each of which holds two
type faces, as well as two auxiliary
magazines for display work,
With the addition of the second
machine there will be a change in the
type face used for the setting of body
matter in The Advance-Times. The
new new face is the one you are .now
reading, This issue contains a mix-
ture of both the old and new faces,
due to the fact that we are forced to
await delivery of the new type from
the United States. This face is one
which is generally considered by the
experts to be extremely easy to read.
We hope you will find it so.
The chief pui•pose behind the in-
stallation of the second typesetting
machine is to make this newspaper
larger as time goes by. Such expan-
sion, of course, takes a little time; but
it is our Intention to give you as
much as we can posSiblY pack Into
each week's work.

The regular monthly meeting of the
PIT C. Annual Report
Shows Healthy Profit
At the regular meeting of Wingham
Utilities Commission held last Tues-
day, the 13th power bill was received
from the Hydro Electric Power Ccin-,
mission and this proved to be a credit
of $5694.76. The financial statement
of the year 1950 was also presenter!
and a net profit of $17804.39 was
shown for the year. Details of this
statement are published on page eleven
of this issue.
During the year the cost of power
was raised slightly to $42.60 per Kilo-
watt per annum. In spite of this, the
Commission was able to carry on
without increasing rates to the con-
sumer. It was recommended that
these rebates granted to local systems
be used for improvement of service to
the consumers rather than making any
reduction in rates or giving refunds
to consumers,
A letter was received from the
Hydro Electric Power Commission
granting approval to the installation
of a modern system of water heater
control. The final payment on Hydro
Electric debentures will fall due on
May 1st., 1951, the amount being
$3063.10.
