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.

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. the Group 1, Intermediate A. W.O. en by Henry Payne of Mt. Forest.
