HYDRO BILLS
BRING PROTEST
In no uncertain words did, the ex-
ecutive of the'Georgian Bay Munici-
pal Electric Association go on record
against the payment of the big bill
for exchange on bonds foisted upon
the municipalities by the O.II.E.P,
Commission. Not only this, but it
went on record against sharingin
any loss incurred through the Chipp-
ewa development.
The opposition, on both counts,
was put in the form of motion,
which read: That in the light of in-
formation received by the various`.
municipalities of this system con-
cerning the matter of exchange, this
executive go on record as opposed
to the payment of said charge at the
present time, by the municipalities as
in their opinioti in view of existing
economic conditions, such monies
should be taken out of the Hydro
Electric Power Commission reserves,.
and that a copy of this resolution be
sent to the Hydro -Electric; -Power-
Commission.
And, as it was stated by Mr. C.
A. McQuire at Midland, on Sept. 15,
that the bonds on which exchange
charges are being paid, were issued
in 1916 and the proceeds used to fin-
ance the Queenstown -Chippewa de-
velopment at that time, and since the
Georgian Bay System is being as-
sessed a proportion of these charges,:
while there was no physical connec-
tion between the Queenston-Chipp-
ewa situation and the Georgian Bay
system, be it resolved that the Hy-
dro -Electric Power Commission be
asked •to show this executive just
what justification they have in call-
ing on the Georgian Bay System to
bear a part of these exchange charg-
es, and a copy of this resolution be
forwarded to the Hydro -Electric
Power Commission.
ss on.
When the President, W. H. Gur-
ney, of Wingham, asked the secre-
tary, H. S. Denef, of Hanover, to
Call ' the roll the following were found
to be present, D. Hurrie, vice-presi-
dent, Midland; Executive, H. E..
Prentice, Collingwood, G. E. Welsh,
Sunderland, A Menary, Grand Vall-
ey; R. J. Beaulieu, Penetang, John
ICalte, Hanover, and Dr. Marcus, of
Kincardine; Mr. McLinden of Owen
Sound, advised that he was unable
to attend, owingto the death of a
friend.
Opening with the reading of the
very complete minutes of the organi-
zation meeting, at Midland, on Sept.
15th, the secretary read a letter he
had sent notifying the Ontario Com-
mission of the formation of the As-
sociation with a list of the officers.
At the start a motion was passed.
instructing the secretary to advise
the O.H.E.P. Commission that this
executive desires that it be consult-
ed before any large capital expendi-
ture is entered upon in the area of
this Association.
In the correspondence were a grist
of letters, nearly all complaining of
the treatment accorded by the O.H.•
E.P. Commission, particularly in res-
pect to the charging of exchange on
bonds and increased rates, Some of
the commissions were decidedly pro-
nounced, in one or two quite bitter
on the points in question. In all
there was approval of the Georgian
Bay Association.
The O.H.E.P. Commission wrote,
enclosing a copy of s'a statement,
which has already appeared in the
press, of its position, respecting the
exchange, In this it said "that the
question of making these charges
was thoroughly considered, also that
many municipalities have paid these
accounts in full without comment;
others are making inquiries as to
whether the amotint is chargeable to
the year's operation or to surplus ac-
count, while yet others have raised
various objections to the charges. To
those who are inquiring as to where
to charge the exchange "1 ani dir-
ected," the writer, Mr. Pope, con-
tinues "to say that it has no objec-
tion to the amount being charged to
current operations or to 'surplus op-
erations or to surplus account, which
ever method best suits your condi-
tions."
"They don't care where we get the
money. All they want is, send tete
money in," said a member, a remark
that brought full „concurrence from
all present.
From 'these letters there tivas tnttch
interesting discussion, the outcome
being the two drastic resolutions cit-
ed above.
The executive adjourned to meet
at the call of the president and sec-
retary.
BRICK. CHURCH W. M. S.

mary of the second chapter of our

preciated duet was rendered by Miss
Mary Dow and Miss Eileen Broom-
er. Mrs. L. 'Wightman then gave a
report of the sectional meeting held
in Corrie recently.
During the business section of the
meeting the final arrangements were
made for the Hallowe'en Social at

A LONESOME COWBOY
I am a lonesome cowboy, and my
hobby is to roam,
But the saddest part of toy sweet eet life
was when I Ieft :my home;
When I started out to roam I had
no place to go,
And when I started back° for home,
no money could I 'show.
My heart feels sad and weary, for
my luck is always bad,
But just the same, bad luck or good,
I have a good old Dad;
I have roamed all over Mexico, where
there are men who shoot to
kill,
And every place where I would go,
I would find a whiskey still.
My mother died not long ago, and I
thought I would have died,
But just before my mother died, she
called me to her side,
"I am going home, my Charlie boy,
my life on earth is through,
And do promise me before I go, to
be always good and true."
She was a lovely mother, she taught,
me all I know,
Oh, how I dread that long sad day
when her time had come to go,
But I am going to see her, when my
time on earth is through,
And to always keep those precious
words, "Be always good and
true."
Bill Lediet.

PLANT ADDS

World Known Gerber. Products to
be Made in Canada by Fine Foods
of Canada, Limited
Arrangements for the manufacture
of an internationally known line of
strained vegetable products for in-
fants and convalescents, which even-
tually will ensure all -year operation
of the Tecumseh plant of Fine Foods
of Canada, Limited, were completed
at Fremont, Michigan, acid announc-
ed by President John Wall, of Fine
Foods of Canada.
The arrangements involve invest-
ment of $75,000 in United States
funds in the Tecumseh firm and the
acquiring of minority stock interest
by the Fremont Canning Corporat-
ion. The Tecumseh plant will supply
the Canadian and Empire market for
Gerber products, which include the
following: strained carrots, strained
beets, strained tomatoes, strained
spinach, strained green beans, strain-
ed peas, strained prunes, strained ve-
getable soup, and. strained cereal in
milk.
Thus a new and important market
will be provided for a large quantity
of Essex County vegetable products.
Negotiations between the Gerber
interests and Fine Foods of Canada
Limited have been in progress for
several months, and under the agree-
ment now completed Fine Foods will
reecive $75,000 in U. S. Funds, toge-
ther with transfer of it of the Ger-
ber trademarks and patent rights for
the exclusive manufacture of Gerber
products in Canada, Great Britain
and all British dominions. In return
the Gerber firm will receive a min-
ority interest in the capital stock of
Fine Foods.
