Proapt and shortages will
begin to make themselves felt aa
earlY as 1975, Dr. Robert Hay
tOld delegates to the Grand
Valley Municipal Electric
Association Conference at Strat-
ford, September 20.
"The United States faces
shortages of virtually every form
of energy and these shortages
will spill over into Ontario
first," said Dr. Hay, a .member
of the Advisory Committee on •
Energy established by the On--
tario government last year to
study the total provincial energy
picture.
Dr. Hay said the notion that
Canada has abundant energy
supplies is a myth. No ;new oil
discoveries are being Made in
Alberta while, the rate of in-
crease of crude oil reserves in
Canada as a whole is in a severe
down,trerid. Present North
American oil reserves will last
until 1980. Double the existing
reserves will last only to 1985..
"If we add the'oil tar sands,
arid there are still doubts
whether oil can be extracted
economically, this only takes us
'to the year 200."
Already, the Alberta govern-
ment is moving to raise the priO
for wellhead gas and oil and
"whether we like it or not,- we
are going to have to pay more
for these fuels in the yery near
future." Dr. Hay said the
problem with discoveries in the
Mackenzie River delta and the
Arctic islands was how much oil
and .gas would be taken by the
U.S. in tribute for the capital
required to build transmission
facilities.

,crisis.
Dr. Hay said the one star n
the horizon is he successful ,p -
plication of the CANDU nu ear
reactor, a uniquely Canadian
system of power generation
which employs natural uranium
in the fission process.
"Just as the early pioneers of
Ontario Hydro turned to water
power, we must turn to this
latest indigenous source of
energy. It minimizes potential
pollution. It. eliminates the
demand for electric power for
nuclear fuel .enrichment. In it"
we have the most promising and
most flexible of all nuclear
power' systems so far
developed," he added.

Dr. Hay laid much of the blame
on the action of environmen-
talists,,and the coaepl of the
"ris4-free" e nv ironment,
"During my work with ACT. I
have been .startled by ' the
hostility .apd anirdosity ' which
comes up whenever electric
energy is discussed," he said.
Pollution Probe had
suggested that Hydro limit. it,s
growth and abandon all forms
of promotion in 'the space and
water -heating fields. They had
also suggested the establishment
of a regulatory board for the
electrical industry.
"Do we limit growth by
limiting our ca'pacity to meet
electrical demand, by en-
couraging the adversary process
now sa prominent- in the LI S.?
Some say yes. Out as a result,
some U.S. utilities are being for-
ced to shed load, there is a con-
tin.uation of blackouts :and
sooner or later the public at
large is going to be aware of the
choice that is being forced upon
them. The reaction will be im-
mediate and drastic."
• Dr Hay urged Canadian
utilities to heed what was hap-
pening in the U.S. "We must do,
our best to co-operate and work
with people who are willing to
be responsible and willing to
listen to reason and who will
not,stick to, impossible and ex-
treme positions.
"We should learn froM the
other fellow's experience. The
whole Ontario Hydro family
exists for one reason and one
reason only - to supply‘ electric
energy to the people of Ontario
as they need it and 'at cost. Not
at cost plus."

In cooking vegetables, you
should ,keep two goals in mind.
The first is to retain the
maximum nutritive value, as
vegetables contribute essential
vitamins and minerals to our
diets. The second goal is to
make vegetables look and taste
good. Happily, these two objec-
tives can be combined, say food
specialists at the Ontario Food
Council, Ministry of Agriculture
and Food.
Here are some suggestions to
help retain the nutritive value of
vegetables, and at the same
time, make them taste their best.
Whenever possible, pare or. cut
the vegetables just before
cooking., Exposure to ,light and
warm room temperature, as well
as prolonged bathing in water,
destroys ..the • vitamin .0 con-
tained in such vegetables as
potatoes, broccoli, and green
cabbage.
Use as little water as possible
if the cooking method calls for
water. Throwing away large
amounts of vegetable water
means throwing "away food
dations of l'aik Force Hydro.
"What are you going to do as
commissioners if and when this
report is made public'? Remem-
ber. this is a report of a study
group made to the government.
Government is the'Court of last
appeal. They are the people who
will make the decision and
prepare the legislation wo will
have to live by.
"Goveranents Will only react
to the voice of the people. That
is their responsibility. Contact
your local member, discuss it
with him. Write to the premier
of Ontario. He- would certainly
welcome your thoughts and
ideas. We have a powerful
organization in the (*EA with
a lot of muscle. But' you know
what happens t� a muscle which
is never used," he added.

boiling water will have a better
color, will not take as long to
cook, and will retain more
nutritive value. You could
borrow, a technique from the
Chinese - cook vegetables until

vegetables immediately after
cooking. Flavor and food value
may be lost if vegetables are
