Agencies for the disabled to be discussed There is one local event taking place this week that every person with compassion for their fellow human being should make a point of attending. On Thursday, August 6, from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Goderich Legion, the general public will have the opportunity to be introduced to an eye-opener. Awareness of Social Agencies Day for the physically disabled has been organized for your participation and awareness. L think the concept is wonderful. It gives us, the general public, the opportunity to discover the services available in our com- munity.and it allows those services to show us what they have to offer. The sponsors consist of many communi- ty service organizations throughout Huron County. Representatives of those, organizations are Ontario March of VOLUNTARILY SPEAKING By Shelley Hartman Dimes, Huron County Home Care PRo- gram, Town and Country Homemakers, Easter Seal' Society, Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Huron Day Centre for the Homebound and the Canadian Paraplegic Association. The four and one-half hours that the event will take place will include displays from these services, local dignitaries and personalities participating with various equipment utilized by the physically disabled. i urge the cortununity to drop into the Jubilee Room at the Legion and take some time to find out what it is like to be one of those with physical disabilities. The organizers have spent a great deal of time in order for us to become better ac- quainted with these concerns and to give us an opportunity to discover what agen- cies in Huron County have and hope to ac- complish in this area. On behalf of myself and the community, I would like to thank the organizers and the volunteer organizations for arranging this oportunity to become more aware and compassionate towards those with physical disabilities. I hope to see a large crowd there show- ing our appreciation. Reliable power at cost remains priority The principle of reliable power at cost under which Ontario Hydro was created 80 years ago remains its number one priority, Chairman Tom Campbell said recently as the corporation's1986 annual report was tabled in the legislature. "That commitment to service and satisfaction has been part of our tradition, and absolutely vital to our success, right from the very beginning," Mr. Campbell said. "In order to maintain that commitment, we must continue to stay in touch's and res- pond to the changing needs of our customers," Mr. Campbell added. As the needs of our customers continue to change, so does the role of Ontario Hydro, said President Robert Franklin. "Today, customer satisfaction depends on our ability to provide an electrical energy service that not only improves working and living conditions, but also reduces electrici- ty bills and energy consumption," Mr. Franklin said. "With the emphasis on energy efficiency, the utility is working toward becoming as much an energy consultant as an electricity producer. and distributor," he added. During 1986, demand for electricity in On- tario increased by 3.7 per cent. Campbell said the demand is expected to continue to grow as the economy grows, even though electricity is being and will be used more efficiently. Ontario Hydro's total revenues for 1986 were $228 million higher than in 1985. However, net income dropped as a result of increased financing charges as new generating facilities were brought into ser- vice and because of reduced power exports. For the first time, Hydro's annual report was produced in both English and French.
