Ontario Hydro marked its 60th birthday this
Tuesday. Reflecting the tremendous changes
which have taken place in the electrical
industry, helicopters and other mechanical
equipment have replaced the pike poles,
strong backs and derby -wearing foremen
involved in the construction in the early
days of the century. Ontario Hydro now -
operates 68,000 miles of line—nearly enough
to circle the earth three times.
