Ontario's growth has been amazing. Since 1947 the population has increased by 323,000, over 70,000 new homes have been constructed, approximately 700 new industries have been established and the value of production has risen an estimated 11/2 billion dollars, 88,541 new rural consumers have been supplied with Hydro and the value of agri- cultural production has increased by some 400 million dollars ... all of which called for power in greater quantities than at any previous time: BUT—in addition to this tremendous growth, the recent step-up in industrial activity due to defence rearmament contracts has brought. about a sharp increase in the use of electricity. In the past few weeks the maximum primary demand in Southern Ontario has been as much as 400,000 horsepower (298,000 kilowatts) higher than a year ago .. an increase 5 times greater than the long term average rate of growth. For this reason your Hydro urges everyone to co-operate in the con- servation of electricity. $1 AP'ORTLI N1 WS "Beeause."

I had a good home, But I was a young fool. I knew what liquor had done to many but I was sure it could not happen to me. I could drink and let it alone. I ought to have known bet- ter, that no one can safely experi- ment on himself with alcohol. One thing I completely overlooked that alcohol is a habit forming drug. I was going to be a moderate drink- er, but before I knew where I was the habit had me in its grip. Oh sir, if I could only start over again, I'd never touch a drop of the in- fernal stuff. In my young days I thought the teetotallers, as we called them, were fanatics and fools. I know now that they were right.—Advt. Power made.

SERVICE TO BLIND "Service to blind Canadians is an investment in the human resources of our country," said Mr. Ross Scott, Chairman of the local committee to The Canadian National Institute for the Blind. A tag day will be held in Seaforth on Saturday, Oct. 21 to raise the funds needed to continuo service to the blind people of this dis- trict. He explained that tnroug'n the 0, N.I.B. hundreds of sightless people in Canada are enabled to assume the normal responsibilities of citizenship and to take their place in the home and community. 'Employers have found that a blind worker in a fact - tory is an asset, not a liability, T'heY are less easily distracted which re- sults in more careful work and high production rate. Most blind workers value their jobs and their spirit of goodwill and co-operation improves the morale of their sighted co-work- ers. The local committee hopees that the people of this community will give more generously than ever this year to this campaign to ensure continued and expanded service to those who are blind.
