ATI.EY - - - - Editor and Publisher THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1947 MODIFIED POWER RATIONING /�. MODI'FIED form .of power rationing is now in .L .1 effect by the Hydro -Electric Power Commission 'of Ontario. 'The regulations, which 'are designed to curtail certain uses of electricity, came into effect on Monday, November 10, and apply ,throughout 'Ontario wherever power is supplied by Hydro. This has become necessary in order to 'Help provide sufficient electricity for full pro- dudtiion of industry and agriculture, and to anaintain em- ployment. The use of electricity for 'signs, show windows, and ornamental lighting for decorative or advertising purposes, is prohibited. The operation of air heaters, electric grates, or electric boilers used for heating stores or offices, is prohibited, as is also the digiting of interiors of business premises after business hours, unless ,Work is being done. .An exception will be made for .banks and other business places requiring light for pratedtion. The use of electricity for floodlighting of parking . lots, used -car lots, service 'stations, outdoor industrial premises and the lighting of marquees, entrances 'and ex - ...its, its restricted to the minimum amount deemed neces- sary in the interests of publiie safety. The use of electricity for interior domestic purposes and in hospitals is not prohibited under the regulations, nor is flood 4ilghting of airports, lighting for police and fire services and protection, lighting required by law,.and lighting for direction signs 'and signs designating the of- fice of a medical prac'biltibner. The regulations provide only a part of the savings necessary to maintain full employment. It is, therefore, vital that all consumers, homemakers, workers, farmers, storekeepers, 'and 'business men do their pant by saving eleeJtmieilty wherever. possible. SCIENTISTS IN OVERALLS HE MODERN farmer need not be looked down upon by his city cousin. That great equalizer — modern science — has caught up +with 1vhn. One has only to watch him go about his daily work to be convinced his mange of knowledge must equal that of his bank manager. . 'Chemist, doctor, mechanic, or electridaan on occa- sion, he must keep step with the latest advances in every aspect of farming if he is to prosper. No longer does fer- tilizing his land :involve the mere 'strewing of a winter's yield of manure over his acres. Shrewdly and scientific- ally he is learning to pass a trained eye over his land be- fore selecting chemical fertilizer, inseetioides or weedkill- , ers. He is 'becoming quite at home with DDT, 24-D or benzene hexachiori'de for that matter. He is becoming adept alt recognizing symptoms of an ailing heifer es a deficiency in calcium, phosphorus or vitamin's and can probably find a remedy in the farm lib- rary he IS fast building up. Unalarme'd by a breakdown in his mechanical equip- ment, 'his ability to fix things involves more than "tying it up with hay wire". The electrio apparatus on his farm comes in for its share of doctoring and he does it with the efficiency of an expert. Usually he can't want for the professional boys to come around, for time to him is pre- cious. AI,though he is often associated with a pitchfork, the modern farmer is and must be a specialist on many matters and masher of many situations only he could meet. The sun 'and wind, rain' and snow are his friends and ene- mies at the same tion, and he has to know how to utilize them to his advantage. Chenallst, veterinary, mechanic, electrician, agrono- mist, meterol'ogist rolled up in one — that's the modern farmer. © © 0 EDITORIAL COMMENT Thought for Tdday Iit's plenty of hard-earned cash that eventually makes things pretty soft. © © 0 "Do your Christmas shopping early!"

That's simple enough, isn't it?
