She is one of Ontario's Thousands of housewives ^ a' saving call the electricity possible so fhgt more power can be made available for our busy farms, factories d. + and other industries. How is she saving electricity? Right now,a delicious dinner is being completely cooked in the oven ,using only one element—instead of several on the cooking surface. , As soon as the kettle started to "sing", she fumed the switch to "off"; the stored heat in the element will bring the water to a boil. Such . a careful homemaker uses only proper sized utensils on elements, uses "low" heat for stews, and saves many a penny by making the best use of stored heat after switches have been turned off. Please save all the electricity you can! ,Even the "little" you save, multiplied by the "little" saved by all Hydro consumers, will speed Ontario's growing factory and farm production. 4 O. . 3' ^ .441, rci' w 1r .-. • �1 ti -,(tI -4' w ,,r -4 w, w'. •Y tr -b� w -4 -v ,y -r ;r w w -w Above Everything P4eve,"2.— E tI/SSES- At tett Your attention is called to the danger to life and property from Christmas decorations, such as draperies, scenery, cotton to represent snow, etc. Displays of this nature and the lighting arrangements in connection therewith add greatly to the ordinary risks of fire.

Wilson Little also would qualify for council, he told the meeting. •Jerry Doerr stated he, too, would qualify'. If there was a proper dumping ground in the township there would, not be the -same difficulty with cans and refuse being thrown on McKillop roads, Albert Siemon, nominated for council, stated. He expected to qual- ify, as also did Harvey Mellwain, who spoke briefly. Earl „Mills, the next council nom- inee to'dr"speak, denied having written letters criticizing the action of the council. He discussed the confusion which arose over the manner of pay- ing weed patrols—some being paid by the hour, others by the road. He sug- gested the road superintendent be asked to review his work and to an- swer any questions. Referring to criticism of snowplow ing, Mr. Mills told of Wallace Town- ship, where the work is done by con- tract at $:. cr $6 per hour, and where certain equipment is allotted to speci- fled zones in the township. Under this system all sections are treated alike and theroads are opened more quickly. If 'a member of the council, he would recommend such a system. Pointing out that the tax, rate had risen sharply during recent years, the speaker stated it was not a question of paying more taxes, but rather of determining whether or not the rate- payem received value for the addi- tional taxes paid. He suggested there could be'an advantage in trying new men on the council, since every new man must approach the business of the township from a new angle which could be of benefit to all ratepayers. Agreeing that snow plowing costs money, James T. Scott, council nom- inee,. pointed out that despite this fact it was impossible, under modern living conditions, to avoid it. If we need more equipment to do the job properly, then we will have to ge it, he said. Mr. Scott called the .atten- tion of- the meeting to the condition of many of the township bridges, and suggested that heavy traffic be pro- hibited- •over bridges which were not designed to carry it. Reeve Dorrance inform.ed the meet- ing the council was aware of the con- dition of many township bridges, but because of the shortage of steel and concrete which the municipality must furnish, little could be done about it in the immediate future. Tlie meeting was critical of the De- partment of Highways momorandum which was read by. Road Superintend- ent W. J. Manley, who was the next speaker, and which set out the man- ner in which roads should be plowed. It was suggested the instructions had been written from an arm chair and that the writer was not familiar with condition& as they actually existed. Summing up the criticism of the snowplowing program, Vincent Lane, the next speaker, read to the meeting a humorous poem which he had writ- ten while snowbound last winter. Mr. Eckert informed the meeting that a nearby township had spent. $16,000 snowplowing by contract, and that the money was wasted when a new storm again blocked the roads. Even if consideration was given to the wear and tear on McKillop equip- ment, as a result of the snow battle, McKillop was far ahead from a money standpoint, he said. He pointed out that the weather was such last win- ter that for three weeks the North Road from Winthrop to Seaforth — a county road—'was blocked, something that had never happened before. 'Suggesting that assessments •should be equalized to compensate for the amount of plowing done in the var- ious sections of the township, Gordon McGavin said such a procedure would not result in the penalizing of rate- payers in, say the northeast part of the township, as was now the case. Mr. McOavin, the township repres- entative on the Seaforth District High School Board, told the meeting of the results attained by using school busses. McKillop pupils had increas- ed from 23 in 1944, to 48 in 1947, while the cost per pupil per day in the same period dropped from $1.29% to .$1.01. In addition to this, there was a saving to Mcltiliop residents of $8,617 in hoard and transpgrtation. While on occasions it was not pos- sible to -run busses because of snow still under the bas system, 'McKillop pupils attended school an average of 128% days, as compared to 124% days before busses. Pointing out that the Department pays approxima,tely 75 per cent of the cost of education In secondary schools, It wasreasonable that. it have an equaltamount of say in hoW the schools were run.

For this reason it was considered no action should be taken. without consulting the ratepayers. J. M. Scott, chairman of the Hospi- tal Board, reviewed steps taken to offset the deficit created by .increas- ing costs and shorter working hours. The plan decided on, he 'said, provid- ed for pro rating the deficit among municipalities benefitting. McK.illop's. share, under this scheme, was $750 for the year. Already McKillop resi- dents have paid $348 ,since August 7 in extra assessments. Vincent Lane agreed the hospital must get the money somewhere. It is not fair that a man already faced with a hospital hill should have to pay an extra $1.00 a day. ,He sug- gested usgestM1ed if spread over the township it would not cost more than 10 cents on a 100 -acre farm. L, H. De LaPranier reviewed the work done in erecting a new wing at the hospital and told of the Increas— ed accommodation that Was planned.
