Actually, all of us depend to some degree on other people in order to make a living. In most jobs we are part of a large or small group of workers. Or else we deal with customers or some group requiring our services. And no matter how skilled a man may be as a worker, he cannot reach maximum suc- cess unless be has harmonious relations with those with whom he works. This means beingco-oper- ative and willing on the job. • It means being interested in other people's ideas and methods ... and being toler- ant when they differ from yours. And it means being cheerful and friendly. Nobody loves the lone - wolf type of operator. But the man who is neatly co-oper- ative builds goedwll in all directions. And he learns more because he is receptive to good. advice and ideas from a wide variety of sources. No wonder employ- ers prefer bis: kind! No won- der he meets with greater success!

" In view of the apparent public misunderstanding of the respective functions of The Hydro -Electric Power Commission of the Province and the Municipal Hydro Commissions in the municipalities, this statement is made to clarify the situation. The function of the Provincial Commission is to generate or buy electric power and to sell electric power to Municipal Commissions and directly to rural consumers and to certain industries. The function of each Municipal Commission is to sell to its consumers within the municipality the electric power purchased from the Provincial Commission. In practice, the Provincial Commission and the Municipal Commissions endeavour to co-operate with each other in the public interest. By reason of lack of rainfall last summer and autumn and by lack of thaws during the present winter, there has been a substantial depletion of the storage of water necessary to maintain a high level of continuous genera-. tion. The resulting loss of.production of electric power has taken place in Ontario and elsewhere where power has been purchased both under contract and in excess of contract commitments by the Provincial Commission. This Toss of production of electric energy has become so serious that certain of those who had contracts to supply the Provincial Commission with electric power have been compelled not only to withdraw the electric power they had been supplying in excess of contract cornsaitments, but as well have been compelled to reduce delivery below con- tract requirements by a further. reduction of 8,000,000 kilowatt-hours per week. As long ago as December 15th, the Provincial Commission notified the Municipal Commissions and indicated to its direct consumers that, in addition to cuts already being applied to direct consumers, it was evident that, unless additional voluntary savings could be obtained, the Commission would be obliged to order the municipalities to reduce their loads from time to time by as much as 15 per cent or more. This notification was given for the ex- press purpose of obtaining greater conservation of power and to enable each Municipal Commission to plan in advance the most equitable allocation of power within the municipality. The Provincial Commission received notification that the most recent cut of power purchased under contract would be effective on Monday, February 16th. In order to make an equitable reduction of power delivery to all Municipal Commissions, it was necessary for the Provincial Commission to compute for each Municipal Commission the amount of reduction it would be called upon to absorb, after taking into account the amount of conservation already, effected by each Municipal Commission since October, 1947. To enable the Provincial Commission to complete the necessary computations and to notify the majority of Municipal Commissions of the amount of reduc- tion each would have to absorb by Wednesday, February 18th; it was necessary that a substantial reduction be placed in effect as of Monday, February 16th, so that there would be no risk of an actual power stoppage in de- liveries by the Provincial Commission. To accomplish this, the Provincial Commission requested the Municipal Commissions of Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, Windsor and Peterborough to reduce their takings of electric power by specific amounts during specified times, and also requested these Municipal Commissions to, in fhe mean- time, treat the request confidentially and not to give it to the press prior to the notification to all municipalities on Monday. This was done to avoid statements appearing which might have the effect of creating quite erroneous impressions of the amount of reduction necessary in each particular municipality throughout the Province. In relation to the, reduction of power, each Municipal Commission was faced with entirely different considera- tions as to how available power would be allocated within each municipality. For this reason, it was not feasible for the Provincial Commission by a general statement to indicate to the consumers in any particular municipality the allocation of available power that would be made by the Municipal Commissions. The Provincial Commission is delivering to the Municipal Commissions andto its direct consumers all the elect Incipower it is able to generate or buy. It is the function of each Municipal Commission to determine not only the allocation of power among ifs coni sumers, but also what public explanation may be desirable in relation thereto.
