(The current monthly letter of the !Canadian 'Bank- of !Commerce, in dealing with the subject of power supplies and requirements at the pre- sent time, confirms strikingly the conclusions reached by Do. F. A. Gaby, Chief Engineer cd the Hydro - Electric 'Power Commission of On- tario, in his comprehensive published analysis of power trends, The provision of adequate electric- al power to meet actual demands, with reserve nargain to ensure con- tinuous service and to take upthe temporary slackening that occurs during depression, is a subject re-. gardimg which many conflicting state- ments have been made, but which can readily be understood if the basic considerations' set out in these sur- veys are kept in mind. The first consideration is, what does past -experience indicate as a necessary provision for future needs? In other words, what has been the past normal rate of growth in de- ! mend ? 1 !Broadly' speaking, growth in 'elec- trical demand in t'he nose populated portion of ,Ontario during the eight- een years up to 11930 was of the order of 1111 per cent per year, a rate of growth that had been consistently maintained 'throughout this long per- iod. The arrangements for new power supplies to meet these growing de- mands must the taken in hand well in advance, because it .takes severa'1 years to arrange for water -power leases, to draw up designs, and to carry out construction projects for large hydro -electric power plants, This, on a million -horsepower sys- tem, means that 'hundreds of tbow- ands of horsepower must be planned or contracted for and under construc- tion, in addition to the power actual- ly in use at any time. The other main consideration is, how much reserve power capacity in sasassiszassass BLYTH.

To care :for ordinary op- erating contingencies and ensure continuous reliable service, marry large power undertakings keep a re- serve or spare capacity on hand of 30 per cent or nnore, The Hydro -Electric Power Commission of ,Ontario, with its uniformly high standards of con- struction and other favourable cir- cumstences, is able to maintain - its service with a minimum reserve cap- acity of but 30 per cent. These mini- mum percentages apply 'to prosperous times, and represent the desirable spare capacity at the time of the day and year that the power demand is greatest, :Of course, when the factories shut down ,for the night, extra reserve ca- pacity corresponding to their temp- orarily discontinued power demands must be kept available until morning, Correspondingly, when there is an industrial depressiou, extra power reserve capacity in accordance with the amount of idleness of factories must be kept on hand. 'Otherwise the factories could not resume operation and re-employ their workmen when the dawn of recovery appears, ilf, tip to the beginning of the de- pression, the power authorities have been faithfully and wisely carrying out their duty of planning and ar- • MinEMINIMENIIIMISIONIMINORMIEMEMINIMII Y .,�,ct,� ,ry t' r heck • We Tire Selling Quality Books Books are Well Made, Carbon is Clean and Copies Readily.

News SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, meet normal growth of demands, the extra., reserve pover for recovery from depression will he available when needed, :and the factories will not have to wait for power plant; to be constructed before they can re- sume operation, (In some of the 'larg- er municipalities there is as 'much as 30 per cert of the electri'tl motors idle due to the depression.) This i, the fortunate position which the power users of Ontario and their employees are in to -day, The IIydro- 'IElectric .Power Commission in 1029 had arranged for power supplies to become available year by year up to 1936-7 from the only economical sources available to it—namely, from its new Chats aFlls pl.utt and from purchased power. The quantities pro- vided were moderate, being 30 per cent less than the fall amount re- quired to take care of an eleven per cent rate of growth for the period concerned, However, as a .result cf these provisions, the Commission at the end of 1033 had a total commerc- ial capacity ,of 1;'257,000 horsepower for the industries and other power users of the great 35 -cycle Niagara system. This affords reserve :power capacity, above the reduced primary power demands at this stage of the depression, of nearly 3115,000 horse- power, Unless recovery from depres- sion is exceptionally rapid, this quan- tity should be :sufficient to safeguard Ontario industries and workmen from time disastrous delays that, without such power reserves, would have hampered the process of return to fuller activity,—a 'beginnin.g of which is now fn evidence. Of course, in the meantime, until general industry fully resumes its normal demands for power, it is im- portant to keep the cost of maintain- ing these necessary special power re- serves as logy as possible. The Hydro `Commission is accomplishing this through contracts under Which the reserve power is used for producing Process steam, but such power can immediately be withdrawn at any time it is required ,for the Hydro mu- nicipalities or far the maintenance of a supply of Ifinim power, As a result of these efforts, there was in December, 1931, no commercial power capacity idle on any of the Commission's sys- tems owned by Hydro municipalities except the (Niagara system, and even on that system, the amount of un utilized commercial capacity was less than 1105,000 horsepower, or 110 per cent of the 1,2517,0010'horsepo'twer total available. When it is remembered that a .large proportion of Ontario's industrial ca- pacity and of 'Ontario workmen were still idle last December, it cannot truly be contended that the Commis- sion's action in providing, the mod - era te od-erate quantity of 3115,000 horsepower —of which only 111215,000 horsepower W is ,die to take up the' slack of Nia- gara system demands, has been other than a w„e and necessary ssfegeand, Douglas' Egyptian Liniment is re- markable in its quick,' effective ac- tion . c -tion,. ,Relieves instantly bnrns,spra- ins, toothache and neuralgia.

Bell in his 93rd year. Mr, Bell was horn in County Cavan, Ireland, sons of the late Mr, and Mrs. Joseph, and came to Canada with a :brother at the !age of sixteen, coming tet Hibbert Township, where they .farmed, On 'December 25, 1867, he married Eliza- ' beth liza-`beth Gray after which they took up farming in Slibbert, later moving to ' Melkihop township and 22 years ago they retired, moving to Mitchell. Mr. Bell possessed a mild disposition and • a sterling character, and was highly respected by all who knew- him. Be- sides his widow he •leaves to mourn{ their loss, three sons,Tames H. Bell, Stratford; Soloman Bell, Toronto, and Edward Bell at home; three daughters, Mrs, Geo, '':Richardson and Mrs, :I -I, N. Irvine, Toronto, and Mrs. PT.

QUATERNION The word "quaternion" occurs only once in the Bible, Acts 1112:4, where we are informed that Peter, after his arrest by Herod, was put iu charge of "four quaternious of soldiers"; but we .learn from other writers the meaning of the term. ilt appears that the Romans divid- ed the night into four watches of three hours each; and in setting a mil- itary guard they appointed a quater- nion (a squad of four men) to be on duty during that period. During the night each anon in arc'session was on guard for three hours while the other three slept; 'hence in the case of the "four quaterniois" mentioned in tilt book of Acts, there were always four men guarding Peter, while the re- maining 12 were temporarily off duty. !While "quaternion" is not ,used with reference to the "watch" which was guarding the tomb at the time of the Resurrection, it has been inferred that a similar plan was used on that on- casion.
