She mentioned four services rendered by this hos- pital of which the community, may be justly proud, services not 're- ceived in many small hospitals. First, the classes of certified nurs- ing assistants which are graduated after ten months' 'training and find positions in hospitals throughout Western Ontario.

Bill Henderson Goes to Germany Ontario Hydro Heats Lines to Melt Ice Power lines sizzled between Barrie and Kitchener early Friday as Ontario Hydro coMpleted experiment to melt about 600 tons of ice from high-voltage lines. It worked perfectly. Hydro poured in 1,300 amperes of electric current—twice the average normal load—from its Des Jo- achirns generating station on the Ottawa River. Heat en the line elted a pear-shaped Me coating from two to three inches thick over part of a 70-mile circuit be- tween Barrie and Kitchener in about 45 minutes. A similar oper- ation was carried out successfully on. a parallel circuit early Thurs- day. Unfortunately the experiment, never 'before attempted in Ontario, was only feasible oh these two lines which bore the brunt of high-voltage trouble, in the recent ice storm. Hydro customers could- n't notice any Change in electrical service since the lines were isolat- ed from the system and replaced by alternate sources of supply. But this was a unique case where the critical current required was avail- able as well as a line which could be removed from the system. The test couldn't be repeated on low- 1,oltage lines, the type° most severe- ly affected by ice during the storm, without interrupting Service to customers. Pte.
