S. ATKEY A. L. COLQUHOUN Editor Plant Manager patario.Quebeto D visiot ,, OWN4 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 4948 SITUATION STI.LL CRITICAL rovince-wide, the power situation is still critical, .Every pconceivable method of reducing the power load is being utilized throughout Ontario. Picking up the dally news- papers, one may read of this method or that method—all'good or bad !in their ,own way, but all designed toward the same end—to alleviate the shortage of electrical energy. The situation in Clinton and district is just about the. same as anyywhehe else, and similar methods are being used to produce 'the necessary reduction, with possibly similar reactions. Locally, Clinton Public Utilities Commission adopted a compulsory one-hour cut-off last evening when the switch was twined off between 6.30 and 7.30 'o'clock. This may . be continued nightly. ° Clinton Rural Operating Area of the Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario also pulled the switch through - tout its jurisdiction for an hour yesterday afternoon. The time of cut-off varied with the districts in the Area, with no two cut-offs coming at the same time in order to strike a balance. It is obvious that these compulsory .cut-offs are in- convenient to many people, but they could hardly be the cause of much criticism. Both the local Utilities Commission and the Rural Operating Area are faced with the naked problem of reducing the use of kilowatt-hours up to 30 per cent from the normal daily consumption. A week ago, the Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario gave formal notice that Tuesday, October 5, was the deadline for re- duction •of consumption in the local areas before even more drastic measures might be taken. Superintendent A. E. Rumball of Clinton Public Util- ities ,Commission and Area. Manager A. M. Knight of Clinton Rural Operating Area know that most citizens of both urban and rural section's of the community are putting forward their best efforts to reduce their consumption. However, they would appreciate the fullest cooperation of everyone in this neces- sary undertaking. 0,0 0 -` " SEASONAL NOTES Over the fading green of the meadow, above the leaf- flecked lake, The bluish haze of autumn rests like a mute, softening the music of strings, comments The Christian Science Monitor. Fall is not all cymbals and drums and brasses, not all red's and yellows. Violins and cellos mix soft shadows on distant bilis, and Woodward arpegios flash, in the flights of lingering birds. But 'again and again the mists steal back like a shimmer of 'sound to unify the multicolored, many -patterned whole. . 'Phis is the music of autumn. But fall has its folk - tunes, too. -Bark of dogs and cries of children are bright as the colors on the slopes. Kitchen sounds make a gentle percussion, And to match—some people say outmatch nature's misty magic, rise the wavering pillars of leaf smoke from roadside bonfires up and dawn well -loved streets. Poets catch it all now and then and put it in rhyme. The rest of us feel it as a gentle incommunicable music' made. of a thousand sights and sounds too fleeting to remark but too piquant to pass unnoticed. , . 0 0 0 • ' aa; ; :•.,ia. . MOVING EXPERIENCE Moving to a new house, according to one who has 'recently undergone the experience, is a complex of major and minor annoyances, says The Printed Word. There are the workmen who do not turn up when they are supposed to arrive, the others who turn tip and do the wrong things, and the few who never turn up at all. There is the newspaper delivery boy who does not deliver the papers to the new address, as he has been instructed to do, and there is the delivery boy' from the competing paper who tries to collect a bill that the former owners of the house have left unpaid. Then there is the telephone. A, change of address means a change of telephone number. That would not be too bad, says the man who has moved, of the new number assigned to him were on that Irad not been in use for•some time. Apparently, however, demands for service on the tele- phone company have caused them to reissue discontinued numbers before they have had time to die out of the memories of those who were in the habit of using them. That, at least, is the, only way in which he can account for the fact that, during the week -end in which the move took place, there were frequent calls for Eva. To the first few callers he politely gave the information that they were calling the wrong number; but that did not stop the calls. He began to get tired of Eva and her friends, At :the, fifth call, he told the gentleman at the other end of the line that Eva was dead drunk and could not come to the telephone. The information did not appear to surprise file caller. The sixth inquirer was told that Eva 'had gone to Vanmonuver, whhile. the seventh learned that she was in the,generai Hospital, . 13y the time Eva's num'erouS friends have all called. her at her old number, 'several mbre interesting bits of mis- information will have been added to her progressive blogr^a.rypby. The new holder of Eva's number confesses to an occasional twinge of conscience, but stilts it by 'lite reft'ecl;ion that he never liked the name, Eva, anyway. 0 0 0 EDITORI.AI:, COMMENT Thought for To -clay --To gel: latimwiti:'k, give it, 0 0 0 Clinton's baseball Colts are doing Timis very fine running in the stretch, as yesterday's pond would lndlcnle, Be'st of fuck in their efforts to land all ()Marin ehalupdva110111 ' 0 0 0 Thanksgiving 'Day will he itrarkod on Motuln,y Ili'.il October 41..

There are women who own a modern electric range but do not operate it wisely. For instance,. they roast a piece of meat in the oven, boil potatoes on one -sur- face element, carrots, on another, make a sauce on the third and a pudding on the fourth. With forethough and the use of oven- ware dishes, all the above foods may be cooked in the electric oven using one element only. Like many other household duties, we should plan the man- agement of electric switches. Wo- men who prevent waste of elect- ricity will be rewarded, for this will mean there will be sufficient power to operate industrial and farm machinery such equipment provides the husband's earnings, and the necessities for the home. Water Heating 1. Do not use running hot water. When bathing, doing dishes or laundry, use it sparingly. 2. Do not leave hot water taps dripping; replace worn-out washers on taps, • Washing Machine 1. Soak soiled clothes in cold water. 2. Fill washing machine with hot water only to the water line. 3. Use warm water for only one rinse; a second or third rinse can be made in cold water. 4.

Do not burn lamps in unused rooms; do not forget to turn out lamps as soon as you leave the room. 3. Keep lamp shades and fixtures clean; dirty fixtures absorb as much as one-quarter of the light.

Mr. Parker said: "The charge of 'Monopoly' is ridiculous because it is without foundation. If the charge were true you would find that the number of companies operating in Canada was sharply reduced from what it is today. "Canadian companies are not afraid of competition. In fact, we welcome competition. How else would we be able to enjoy such an enviable position through- out the world if it were not for the competitive spirit that dom- inates the entire life insurance business here in Canada?
