WMS holds rally
Some 129 ladies from the
Stratford-Huron Presbyterial of the
Women's Missionary Society met
in Caven Presbyterian Church,
Exeter, for their Spring Rally.
The evening began with a sing-
song followed by a delicious salad
supper provided by the Exeter
WMS and the Gordon Auxiliary.
At various times throughout the
everting, the groups answered the
roll call with a humorous item.
Shirley Aitcheson, Stratford,
presided for the rally, and the sing-
song was led by Shirley, assisted
by Margaret Greig on the guitar
and Audrey Vorstenbosch at the
piano.
The scripture from Proverbs was
read by Ruth Laing, Mitchell, anti
the meditation on humour was
given by Shirley Aitcheson. Exeter
choir sang two numbers accom-
panied by the organist, Sharon
McNeilly. Bev Nichol, Atwood, led
in prayer.
The guest speaker, Beanie the
Clown (Pat Willows, Carlingford)
was introduced by Janet Gibson, St.
Marys. Beanie stressed the need for
warm hugs and laughter. She is a
professional clown who volunteers
in Stratford Hospital as well as in
nursing homes, etc. She said that
:;*
laughter is good, not only for
mental health, but for physical
well-being, too. It exercises every
muscle in the body and cleans out
the circulatory system.
She advised everyone to work on
having a sense of humour and to
practise walking down the street
with a smile. Her demonstration of
her "tools of the trade" brought
forth many healthy "belly laughs".
Bessie Thompson and Helen
McLean-Nethercott of Avonbank-
Motherwell WMS sang two duets
accompanied by Anna Mae
Stephens. Cathy Elliott, Cromarty,
gave a humorous reading, Church
Bulletin Bloopers.
Margaret Greig, area education

London Synodical was given by

Side.

Gardeners, runners, bikers,
hikers, sports enthusiasts and
thousands of others enjoy the open
air and green space on the land
under the 21,000 kilometres of
Ontario Hydro's transmission lines
that cross the province.
The largest of those transmission
lines are "extra-high voltage",
500,000-volt lines that deliver_
power to transformer stations in
urban centres to be stepped down to
service homes, businesses,
hospitals, schools and other public
agencies.
The lines are supported by large
towers. They cross the landscape
and have always been a sign of
electricity supply to every city,
town, village and rural community
throughout Ontario. The
transmission lines and towers cover
82,000 hectares of land - rights of
way - across the province.
Ontario Hydro uses different
types of towers to support the extra
high voltage lines. The lofty steel
towers, which weigh up to 6,800
kilograms and reach a height of
more than 35 metres, can be
vulnerable to vandalism and other
"damage..
"In the last several months we've
-,had three instances when
transmission line towers have been
damaged," says Finn Rimmer,
Manager - Grid lines at Ontario
Hydro. In each case bolts were
removed from the lower part of the
tower.
"Two of the three towers that
were damaged fell over, which
meant the transmission lines were
out of service. These 500,000-volt
lines are vital because they send
large amounts of power from
generating stations through the
network to points all across
Ontario," Rimmer adds.
It takes anywhere from four days
to two weeks to repair and re-erect
damaged transmission towers.
Along with the threat to the
supply of electricity, Ontario Hydro
says tower damage has serious
safety and economic consequences.
"Although Ontario Hydro does
have lots of towers in remote areas
away from populated areas, there
