what memories are stimulated' in
grandfather's mind with thoughts
of his own boyhood? His was an
age of manpower, steam and clock-
work. In the half century separ-
ating his boyhood from that of his
grandson, electricity has literally
"taken over", to become the life-
• blood in the pulse of progress,
In that relatively short span of
years, Ontario Hydro has grown'
from a conception in men's minds
to one of the largest organizations
of its kind in • the world. Today,
Hydro owns and operates 64 hydro-
electric and 2 largo fuel-electric
generating stations, and is presently
co-operating in the development of
Canada's first nuclear-electrie gen-
orating station, to provide power
from the atom.
Who can say how much power
will be required 50 years from to-(
day? New applications are found
daily for this most versatile of all
commodities, No matter where you
look electricity is at work in the•
never-ending search for better
ing, opening new horizons that
mean a brighter future for all,/
