Rural hydro consolidation means greater efficiency Ontario Hydro's Exeter Area Office will be merged with its Clinton and Strathroy areas, respectively, early in 1970.. About 60 percent of the 4,664 Exeter Area customers will be transferred to Clinton Area and the remaining 40 percent to Strathroy Area. a, Ontario Hydro Chairman George Gathercole said, -"Corisolidation---of offices is Part of a province -wide program of reorganization that will • affect,. a considerable number of communities, but achieve a saving to, electric - power consumers of more than $1,000,000 a year while preserving and improving our standard of service in rural power supply. • "This reorganization and consolidation has been made possible by the emergence of new facilities and technology. - The development of excellent highways, the use of radio -equipped - vehicles and reliable telephone service conjribute to conditions that enable us to combine gpod • A service .with greater economy. With rapidly rising salaries and wages, interest rates and prices, it is imperative that Ontario Hydro seek every means of combatting rising power costs," he ad ed. As most customers pay their bills by cheque or at a chartered bank, there will be a minimum of inconvenience for Exeter ustomers-in this respeet—wheri-- the close out becomes effective. • Although consolidation may inconvenience a few of the staff, no serious dislocations will occur,, and it • is expected that most will continue to make their homes at their present locations. As part -of the reorganization a new service centre and administration office .will ultimately be builltinear Clinton. recognized,". said Mr. Gathercole, "that even a modest degree of consolidation, as in this case, is -bound to affect some communities more than others., But Ontario Hydro must strive unceasingly in fulfillment of its obligations to its customers." Huron County Council has been concerned about a water problem in `the basement of the. new administrative building. Reeve A. D. Smith. Turnberry, asked last week if the trouble had been correeted. He •• said he was particularly concerned once he learned the National Art Centre in Ottawa has 19 sump pumps in the basement to keep out the waters of the Rideau,Canal. Reeve Roy Westcott, Usborne, chairman of the property committee, said the water problem was not licked entirely 'but so „far there is only one sump pump in the basement of the administrative building. "That shows the difference in the levels af government," quipped Warden James Hayter to the delight of council.

And how come we hav- en't got farther? First pf these was a big proj- ect at the big shoe factory I work in. Teachers and students have been slaving for months, making canoes and planning trips. They wound up with - about 30 canoes, maps, com- passes and no brains. With just a little less fanfare than the Spanish Armada, they set off on a sunny Friday after- noon, holiday weekend, to conquer the wilderness and make Etienne Brule look like a Sunday tripper. It rained all day Saturday, Sunday and Monday in the great national park they chose for their insanity. The temper- ature was a little above freez• - ing. They came back exhaust- • ed, soaked to the skin, and frozen to the marrow. • About 50 people were about as miserable as they ever have been, or ever will be, in their lives. And already they're ,plan- ning the next trip. Already, it's a great adventure, in 'retro- sPect.
