Boy- er, M.P.P., second vice-chair- man of Ontario Hydro, credited the provision of low-cost power in this province with Ontario's phenomenal growth during the post-war years. Despite the lack of coal or oil resources, which have been major factors in the development of most other industrial areas, Ontario has been developed into one of the prime manufacturing areas of the world, largely because there were ample supplies of heap electrical energy. He mentioned the fact that the provision of these power sources could be credited to the far-sighted pioneers of 50 years ONE OF THE 120 -TON reactor end -shields being moved into position at the Douglas Point Nuclear Power Station. The reactor has a shield at each end through which fuel is loaded into the reactor vessel itself by means of a remotely controlled fuelling ma- chine.

Conron and Mrs. Har- old Wild attended the Lake Hur- on Zone Recreation Council annual meeting at Listowel on Saturday, where the audience was told that the inertia of municipal councils toward need- ed recreational projects must be overcome. H. E. Thomas, supervisor of special services, Community Programmes Branch of the De- partment of Education, said it was the duty of recreation com- mittees in small municipali- ties to "cajole, needle and stimulate" their councils into action. School boards and ser- vice clubs should also be targets in the campaign to overcome this inertia. Mr. Thomas said recreation- al programs will only he ac- cepted by councils in small municipalities when the need is obvious. It was the responsi- bility of recreation committees to make clear the recreational needs of today's society. Ile recommended that pro- jects which would tend to raise the intellectual level of the community be encouraged. Claire Christie, Owen Sound, was elected president of the council. Other officers elect- ed were: Vice-pres., Jack Flewelling, of Chesley; sec., Mrs. Norman Greenwood, Dur- ham; treas. , Mrs. B. D. Hay, Listowel; representative to the Ontario Recreation Association, Mrs. Harold Wild of Wingham. William Conron was named to the executive as past president, as dent Mr�wished to retire. presi- Oswald Simpson Leading discussion periods during the conference were Wil- Dies in 16th Year You Can Make Gifts Yourself Making gifts yourself adds zxtra joy to Christmas. Even if you're not an accomplished seamstress, you can come up with pleasing results by using a needlework kit. You can find kits with partly worked mater- ials for all kinds of gifts from clothing to home acces- sories. If you have a friend who loves Early American furnish- ings, make her a gift from a needlepoint picture kit. It in- cludes a needlepoint motif al- ready worked on cotton canvas, plus a supply of yarn for you to use to complete the background and a frame for the finished picture. liam Woods of Milverton, Dr. Allan Morris of Wiarton, Mrs. Don Chapel of Owen Sound, William Conron, Wingham, and L. E. Stanbridge of Han- over, district supervisor of C.P.B. of the Department of Education. Other speakers at the con- ference were Inspector Ralph Boot of Toronto Metro Police, executive vice-president of the Ontario Recreation Association, and Alex Watson, executive member of the O.R.A. and edi- tor of the Canadian Boy Maga- zine. Funeral service was held on Tuesday afternoon at the Rann funeral home in Brussels for Oswald Simpson, a resident of Grey Township. Mr. Simpson was born at Jamestown. tic was a son of the late James Simpson andJcs- sie MacDonald. His wife, the former Alice Smith, predeceas- ed him. Mr. Simpson died in St. Joseph's Hospital, London on Saturday, December 7, follow- ing a short illness. lie was in his 76th year. ago who foresaw the need for power development. The av- erage consumption of electrical energy in an Ontario home reached 5,'765 kilowatt hours in 1962, an increase of 48% in 10 years. Referring to comparative costs, Mr. Boyer said that a kilowatt hour of electrical en- ergy costs the Ontario house- holder only 1.32 cents, where- as, the same amount of power in the United States costs 2.21 cents. Consumption of electrical energy is increasing at such a rate that peak demands in 1968 are expected to reach 19 mil- lion kilowatts -- three times the present demand. The speaker said that the harnessing of the St, Lawrence River provided Ontario with its last economi- cally available water power. The generating plants of the future will be of the thermal type, fired by either conven- tional fuels such as coal and oil, or by nuclear reactors as at Douglas Point. HIGHWAYS MINISTER Hon, Charles MacNaughton, Minister of Highways, address- ed the gathering following Mr. Boyer's talk, and referred to the fact that highways and hydro are somewhat like the familiar chicken and egg — it is diffi- cult to tell which one comes first. He said that wherever hydro lines penetrate the result- ing esulting development of the area creates an immediate need for roads, and conversely, that the opening of new highways creat- es a need for hydro service and communities expand. "In the post-war period," said the minister, "the increase in mileage of all types of roads in the province has been re- markable... from approximate- ly 73,000 to 86,000. Our ex- perience with Highway 401, which has virtually been com- pleted from Windsor to the Que- bec border, illustrates the grow- th of the province since 1950. It was originally designed to handle an anticipated 35,000 cars daily but counts now show that on some days 78,000 ve- hicles use the highway. In rush periods our engineers have counted 4,000 vehicles an hour travelling in one direction alone in some sections. That is why it has been necessary to start building the 12 -lane ex- pansion and to re -construct cer- tain parts of the Toronto by- pass routs." It is estimated that by 1980 as many as 180, 000 cars will travel this superhighway in one day, with as many as 10, 000 vehicles per hour moving in a single direction in the rush areas. Concluding, Mr. MacNaugh- ton said, "In years to come this growing province will need greater highways and roads for motor vehicles and greater 'highways of power', for these are the arteries and signs of a thriving economy."
