The Goderich Signal-Star, 1972-10-05, Page 14its ° Pntario faces a grim energy 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. tpresenta-usesa'bout— one-thirdird of Canada's total energy resources and Will be hardest hit by the impending ,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. Referring - to current power shortage,s in the United States, Local A.M.R. (continued from page 1) Mr. Aberhart supplied some of his background. He graduated in Illinois and taught in various States: George Simons then. asked Betty Reid to inform the • 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."

Mrs. Reid introduced Carol Egenei„..rivho had attended a 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. Don' White, president of the. OMEA's sister organization, the Association of Municipal Elec- trical Utilities, said one of his. executive's greatest concerns about Task Force Hydro was that employee benefits, and working conditions be safeguar- ded . "But we do take the view that some redefinition or reaffir- mation of the role and place of Hydro .in Ontario is desirable," he added. "The day is gone when we i Ontario Hydro and The Utilities can go around waving the Power Commission Act or the Public. Utilities Act ast, our authority to proceed as we please." 1972.73' Amu} of District 6 0.M.E.A. elected at the meeting wera,President D.H. Larkworthy, Stratford; lst vice president J.M.
