'telephone their members of Parliament and protest strongly. • Industrial production -is plummeting and unemploy- ment is soaring, inflation continues to rise far above. other western countries. The debt being carried and in- creased by the Federal and Provincial governments is ' staggering and a large pro- portion of our taxes is now used merely to'servicd that' debt, never to be returned for public benefit. Many large energy projects, such as the "Alsands" out west, have collapsed in political wrangling. Antagonism between government.. and industry deepens. The government beaurocracy is firmly con- vinced that private industry is evil 'and, corrupt and in- dustry is agape at the ever growing and self,rewarding antics of government. The. country appears to ,be increasingly divided between those in comfor- table well protected jobs complete. with annual salary increases and those who are unprotected • and ' .now vulnerable to loss of jobs, homes and dignity: • Sheer unmitigated greed by governments, corpora- tions and banks is sucking the country dry of its life and energy. Protest and protest strong- ly. If we do not speak up, we will , be trodden into the ground. Stag ,up and fight back. You a of alone. '. Sincerely, Nicholas • Hill, Goderich. Takes • issue Dear Editor, • I would like to take issue with some remarks at- tribut'ed to Darcy McKeough, the chairman of Union Gas. It would appear Mr. McKeough has looked upon • the projected cost figures. of natural gas and determined that electricity is, and will become even More so, an attractive alter- native. Therefore, Mr: McKeough would like the Government of Ontario to tax hydro - thereby ar- tificially raising the con- sumers hydro bill, and at the same time • keep Alberta natural gas competitive. • Mr. McKeough would have the principle of power at cost, which have served us well since the days of Sir Adam Beck, thrown out. Small stuff you say! When principles are violated; there is no end to compromise - so let us drawthe lines now before' it is too late. Allow me to cite some areas of concern pertaining to the above men- tioned violations. Firstly, the • subsidizing of rural customers by municipal customers a subsidy put in place by the Government of Ontario in January, 1982. Secondly, the grabbing of some potential ,,revenues from Ontario Hydro at the .Bruce Generating Station, over the sale of surplus steam, and, thirdly the pro- spect of mammoth increases in water rentals at hydro electric generating stations. The ' Ontario Municipal Electric Association is ' the CELEBRATE SUMMER spokesman for over 320 municipalities representing over 65 percent of the elec- tric customers of Ontario. It is composed of your elected utility .commissioners and is dedicated to the principle of power at cost. It could be asking politely for Mr. McKeough to "butt -out". As an electric customer you might add your voice to those concerned with keep- ing your hydro bills at cost by supporting your utility and the 0.M.E.A. Sincerely, Jim Peters, P.U.C.
