Aladdin mitis a Lucky Fellow:
;! Aladdin and the genie of his magic lamp could produce anything desired
no scarcities . , . no delays. But when it comes to building new Hydro
generating plants' to supply Ontario's ever-growing demand, lack of,buiiding
,materials is proving q problem for which Hydro has no magic cure.
Demand for electricity' is growing faster than new power plantscan be
built. It takes a staggering amount,of concrete, steel, lumber, and electrical
equipment to' build a new power development. It all has to. bshopped for,
delivered to the job and assembled.A difficult task in these days of short
supply.
To provide everyone with all the electricity they might like to use during
• fall and winter months would require new generating stations equal to about
one-fifth of our present total supplyy of over 2,600,000 horsepower. Construction.
on these and other Hydro projects has been under way for a long time. Your
Hydro is; pushing them just as fast as materials can be obtained ... aiming to
do in 5 years what would normally take 7 years. One wiii start delivering
70,000 horsepower this fall. Another 81,000 horsepower in 1948. By 1950.
the huge Ottawa River development will start to pour its 360,000 horsepower
into the Ontario Hydro system.
Few places in the world have as much electricity available per person us
Ontario, However, we must conserve our electricity so that new homes, farms
and industries will all receive their share; so that the wheels of our factories
will be kept turning and maximum employment and production maintained
USE HYDRO WISELY and there will be enough for all.

High. Quality Eggs
Should be Maintained
(Experimental FILMS News)
With •a !little more effort on: the
part oar the poultry keeper, eggs of
high quality can be produced during
the heat of summer, says A. S. John-
son, Poultry Division, Central Ex-
perimental Farm, Ottawa.
Egg quality can be maintained only
by suitable condition's of management
from the time the eggs are laid.
Once lost, it cannot be reclaimed and
good storage in grading stardom is
oaf no avail. The chief responsibility
rests with the farmer. Best results
can be obtained by, frequent gather•
rapid cooling and frequent de••
liveiOi.
Deterioration of egg' quality is
most rapid at high temperatures.
When eggs he in nests in warm
weather they lose their original an••
imal'-'("seat very slowly. They should
be gathered as often es possible, not
Secs than three times per day. When
gssthered, eggs should be coaled rap-
idly.
Experiments hese 'shown that the
quality of eggs is directly affected
by high temperatures 'emitting from
infrequent gathering and (poor hold-
ing conditions. Unless they are :held
in a room in which the temperature
is below 00 degrees F,, sed .not too
dry, there is little advantage in col -
leafing them oft=en.
