I am instructed to advise you that the supplying of power in rural dis- tricts shall be conducted after a man- ner outlined in the revised legislation, part 11-B of the Hydro Electric Power Commission Act.

GABS'. OLD TIME PICNICS Sacramento, Cal., July 1, 1921, Dear Expositor: I notice in a late issue of your paper mention made of Sunday School picnics, farmers' picnics and perhaps others. This reminds me that it is about picnic season, and also takes me hack to some picnics of many years ago. Just a few lines about some of these picnics mrf long ago, with some side issues and things that occur to me in connection with them. My first recollection of a picnic goes back to the days when Egmond- ville Sunday School held their picnics in McEvring's Grdve, on lot 12, con, cession 6, Tockerathith. This is the place where Thoma, !Thillinglaw has lived f9r eonsiderahl4. over thirty yeaes. There is still some of that grove left, or at leas; there was the last, time I was in Todkersinith, just to the west of the driveway from the road to the house, inst the grove is pretty well thinned ,,tit and the tree's far between. Thesis picnics were in, the days of the Auld Kirk which stood in the Egmondville cemetery just across the second line from Davie Duncan's house and pump where we used to go to get a cool drink of water before going into church on a warm summer Sunday morning. I remember the farmers who used to iine up for a drink and a little chat in the shade. This was in the days STEWART BROS. Seaforth • wish to announce 'that ' MISS L L.

Mr, Graham was the minister, I weJ1 remember him going up the stairs into the julpit and closing the gate, or door, behind him. There were also gates, tar doors, at the end of the pews. John' Grieve used to say he could lie- ! ten to Mn'. Graham preach and then ' live the sermon almost word for word, But I am of the opinion that several of those who usually sat in back seats in this south-east corner of that Auld Kirk could not tell much arout the semen when it was finish- ed. The back seats were high and it, was easy for the young fellows to keep well out of sight while they ttillted and played tricks. I think I had better net mention the names of ail the Jacks, Bobs, Abes, Jims, Bills, henrys arid Pete's who usually eeell- i ied those back seats. Perhaps some iP you may remember then,. But this is getting away from pic- nieS which I started to write about.

That after- noon as we lay in that shanty we ate cake and pie, then more cake and pie, and stillmore cake and pie. I specialized on fruitcake. It seemed too bad to waste all the good things to eat, so a few of the young folks got together and made eierangements for a dance that night at Torn Camp-. bell's barn on the McGonigle farm on the fourth concessio.n. Several well- filled baskets were taken from the picnic to supply the refreshments fur the dance. In over thirty years I have never quiet: gotten away from the feeling that a barn dance was not just a very appropriate culmination for a Sunday School 14icnic, bet I wen; to it just the same. It :teem; tin me it was about on a par with a cottage prayer meeting which was held at a farm house in Tuckerstth and after the minister had gone hum, Ire' IN4ung people turned it into a dance.

A few of us, who reinnined, crawled under the edge of the improvised shanty in which the cakes, pies" and sandwiches were piled to keep them dry. I will not mention many names, but I won- der if Torn Hudson and John Huli- sten remember that afternoon when they, with Sandy_ Cumming rind my- self, and perhaps others, were under that shanty eating cake.

I am instructed to advise you that the supplying of power in rural dis- tricts shall be conducted after a man- ner outlined in the revised legislation, part 11-B of the Hydro Electric Power Commission Act. It is required that a proper con- tract be executed between your Coun- cil and the Commission for a supply of power and to permit of the Com- mission constructing and operating the lines necessary to serve the cus- tomers. The Commission will conduct the business associated with the render- ing of service to your customers, and will properly account to your Council far all charges and revenue connected therewith. . . Users of power in your township will be required to sign a contract with the Township, and may choose, with certain limitations, classes of service outlined as follows: - Class I. -Hamlet service includes service in hamlets, where four or more customers are served from one transformer. This class excludes farmers and power users. Service is given under three sub -classes as fol- lows: 1-A Service to residences where the installation does not exceed six lighting outlets or twelve sockets. Use of appliances over 600 watts is not permitted under this class. 1-11 Service to residences with more than six lighting outlets or 12 sockets. and stores.

The estimates on the cost of power delivered to users as herein set out has been based upon certain assump- tions, some of which are us follows: The construction of -the lines shall be undertaken and paid fie' by the Commission. The farmers in the vi- cinity of the roads along which the lines pass will assist in the construc- tion and assistance will be paid for at a suitable rate of e.g., Lines constructed from the line on the high- -way to customers' premises will be paid for 'by the customer. The Com- mission proposes to supply the nec- essary expert labor to direct the construction of the lines and the In- stallation of the e ui 1 h q p t as been assumed that three faiiiiii•rs pet' mile of line, or the equivident, are obtainable as an average fdr the en- tire district to be served.

GABS'. OLD TIME PICNICS Sacramento, Cal., July 1, 1921, Dear Expositor: I notice in a late issue of your paper mention made of Sunday School picnics, farmers' picnics and perhaps others. This reminds me that it is about picnic season, and also takes me hack to some picnics of many years ago. Just a few lines about some of these picnics mrf long ago, with some side issues and things that occur to me in connection with them. My first recollection of a picnic goes back to the days when Egmond- ville Sunday School held their picnics in McEvring's Grdve, on lot 12, con, cession 6, Tockerathith. This is the place where Thoma, !Thillinglaw has lived f9r eonsiderahl4. over thirty yeaes. There is still some of that grove left, or at leas; there was the last, time I was in Todkersinith, just to the west of the driveway from the road to the house, inst the grove is pretty well thinned ,,tit and the tree's far between. Thesis picnics were in, the days of the Auld Kirk which stood in the Egmondville cemetery just across the second line from Davie Duncan's house and pump where we used to go to get a cool drink of water before going into church on a warm summer Sunday morning. I remember the farmers who used to iine up for a drink and a little chat in the shade. This was in the days STEWART BROS. Seaforth • wish to announce 'that ' MISS L L.

Mr, Graham was the minister, I weJ1 remember him going up the stairs into the julpit and closing the gate, or door, behind him. There were also gates, tar doors, at the end of the pews. John' Grieve used to say he could lie- ! ten to Mn'. Graham preach and then ' live the sermon almost word for word, But I am of the opinion that several of those who usually sat in back seats in this south-east corner of that Auld Kirk could not tell much arout the semen when it was finish- ed. The back seats were high and it, was easy for the young fellows to keep well out of sight while they ttillted and played tricks. I think I had better net mention the names of ail the Jacks, Bobs, Abes, Jims, Bills, henrys arid Pete's who usually eeell- i ied those back seats. Perhaps some iP you may remember then,. But this is getting away from pic- nieS which I started to write about.

That after- noon as we lay in that shanty we ate cake and pie, then more cake and pie, and stillmore cake and pie. I specialized on fruitcake. It seemed too bad to waste all the good things to eat, so a few of the young folks got together and made eierangements for a dance that night at Torn Camp-. bell's barn on the McGonigle farm on the fourth concessio.n. Several well- filled baskets were taken from the picnic to supply the refreshments fur the dance. In over thirty years I have never quiet: gotten away from the feeling that a barn dance was not just a very appropriate culmination for a Sunday School 14icnic, bet I wen; to it just the same. It :teem; tin me it was about on a par with a cottage prayer meeting which was held at a farm house in Tuckerstth and after the minister had gone hum, Ire' IN4ung people turned it into a dance.

The people scattered, many hurrying home under umbrellas, but some of them got pretty wet; quite a number re- mained finding shelter behind trees and some under umbrellas. A few of us, who reinnined, crawled under the edge of the improvised shanty in which the cakes, pies" and sandwiches were piled to keep them dry. I will not mention many names, but I won- der if Torn Hudson and John Huli- sten remember that afternoon when they, with Sandy_ Cumming rind my- self, and perhaps others, were under that shanty eating cake.
