System.
Ontario Hydio' has ann0unc-
ed--a - streamlining -of its rural
rate system as a result of con-
tinuing development in the
rural areas of the province.
Hydro Chairman W. Ross
Strike said: "Despite marked
increasesin cost, no major
change in rates for regular
rural electric serviee has occur-
red during the past 12 years.
'rThe revisions are designed
to adjust the rate structure to
changed condition, re -align
-rates with the cost of provid-
ing service tovarious classes
of customers, and simplify, deal-
ings, with .consigners. There will
be no overall increase in rev-
enue to the • Commission as a•
result of this rate, adjustment.”
Effective on bills mailed af-
ter April 5, 1966, decreases av-
eraging 71 cents a month Will
beertenced x
e
p by a group of
173,000 -including 92,000 sub-
urban, 61,000 farm and -20,000
non-farm rural residential cus-
tomers:.. Increases Averaging. 51.
cents monthly will affect an
other group of 165,000 -includ-
ing 12,000 suburban, 68,000
farm and 85,000 non-farm rural
residential customers.
Charges for summer cottage
accounts will remain at ' the
same level.
Electric heating rates are un-
changed for separately metered
services and slightly reduced
for all -electric customers.
Reduction in energy charges
for metered electric water heat
•ers meeting minimum standards
areli.included-min the new rates.
A similar preferred rate for
electric water heating is being
introdueed--:•-for---r about 40,000
commercial;,-. and small , indus-
trial customers.--
Many
ustomers:-”Many „of •,,,,the increases are
due to• minimum bills being
raised tomeet increased basic
costs.
Mr. Strike said: "It costs al-
most as much to maintain fa-
cilities for a customer who us-
es electricity ' only "for lights
and other minor purposes as -it
does for one who has an elec-
tric water heater and other ma-
jor appliances.
"This revision of the rate
system
ys emoccurred-reflects ye the rural
change§ -\.which.,
scene over the .-
years such as
the growth of suburban areas
and- the concentration of agri-
cultural production Into , large
farm units."
Rates will now be quoted, in
net amounts with a five per
.cent late payment charge in-
stead of in gross amounts with
a 10 per cent prompt payment
discount: .The practice of, us-
ing ,net rates is being followed
by many other utilities. '
The half -million rural cus-
tourers of Hydro will be noti-
fied•••direcliy 'by mail- of the re-
vision in rural rates. Custom-
ers of the municipal electrical
utilities are not affected.'

William Allen, of Woodham,
WCBA director for South Hur-
on,.. was chairman. He introduc-
ed directors and personnel of
the breeding units who gave
reports on the past year's busi-
ness.
President of the unit for
1965, Wally Knapp, 'of Galt, in
his address to the meeting, said
the C ttle Breeding Associa-
tion is a true co-operative op-
erated by its members for its
members. He commended the
Huron County . directors for
their contribution to ''the, opera-
tions of the W,C.B,A. board.
Manager of the association,
Wilbur J. Shantz, reported that.

The speaker was Don Gra-

for his woric in farm manage-

his topic as "Future Trends in
Livestock Farming," noting as
the major trend a change,,.to-

he said, "only makes us go fast-

ing." This direction, he sug-
gested, could be either ahead
or backward.
"We have to intensify„ on
what we.have,”he' said, listing
functional buildings, efficiency
and specialization as important
.points, to remember in farm
planning. He emphasized choos-
ingsystem carefully, making

tions available.
Mr. Graham commented on
the - good work that has been
done in breeding andfeeding,
stating that housing of live-
stock has not kept up. He de-

CIVIL DEFENCE A
SHAM
There's nothing like starting
the New Year on a cheerful
note of optimism. But for one
of the country's best organized
pressure groups, it was time to
remind Canadians again of the
"invaluable" services rendered
by one '-ofour most useless
quasi -official organizations.
Every year 'aboutthis time,',
Canadians are subjected to a
flood propaganda forwhat us-
ed . to be known as . Civil De-
fence headquarters. After blun-
dering along for several years
in trustworthy Colonel- Blimp'
fashion, this outfit managed to
get itself re -christened a ..while
ago as the - Emergency Mea-
sures Organization. •
It was no doubt thought that
EMO would. l e more palatable
to Canadians than Civil De-
fence. Likewise, that by mas-
querading as an organization
that could come to • the aid of
the community .in .any kind of
crisis, -this• gfoup would be bet-
ter able to justify its existence
and taxpayers would be less
likely to protest its •cost. •
• One • of - the country's most
elaborate EMO outfits is head-
quartere4 in, a 2,100 square -
foot underground fallout shel-
ter a few miles north of To-
ronto, between Aurora and New-
market. ' -
There, according "zone
'controllers," "direct rs" ...and
"deputy directors,;" the busi-
ness of running Toronto in the
aftermath of a five -megaton at-
tack would be conducted by
whichever Civil officials had
managed to flee the 'Ontario
capital.
To anyone who has ever tried
to get out of Toronto on a holi-
day weekend, it is inconceiv-
able that any civic official
would ever reach the EMO
e.entre.
Perhaps that is why EMO di-
rector H. J. Pollard admitted'
that "they will just have to
make their own'way here." Mr.
Pollard is liable to find him-
self in exgtirsite loneliness, as
no nore than a 15 -minute warn-
ing can be expected and it takes
much longer than that to drive
from Toronto to Aurora. •
Ever since -the first Civil De-
fence organization was set up
from the bucket -and -flashlight
brigade of World War 11, this
reporter- has not heard of one
instance where the millions or
dollars spent has served any
practical purpose.
As -an, in d icaton.,•oLha w, much
the program costs under, the
revamped, EMO set-up, 'Metro-
politan Toronto's budget of
$600,000 per year goes into
maintaining a full-time staff of
more than 30 persons, plus a
variety of tricks, sirens and
other equipment. -
Of course, the siren's don't
a].wary work. Miring one Cana-
dian test, 53 failed, to even
squeak while another 70' went
down as "partial failures."
When the big pre -Christmas
power black -out hit eastern
North America, the Ottawa
command of EMO didn't know
a thing about • it. "I haven't
heard a thing," Director Gen-
eral C. R. Patterson was quet
ed as saying when reached by
a newsman.
It -may be that Civil Defence
is a worthwhile insurance
against the massive fatalities
that would occur in a nuclear
war. It may also be true that
the -public " could be well serv-
ed by an emergency organiza-
tion which could lend aid in
event- of flood, fires and other
natural or man-made peacetime,
-disasters. ' '
If this is so, why, hasn't Can-
ada done either? 'Civil Defence
has proven to be.a colossal flop'
in this country, and the EMO
which;,hassucceeded it has not,
to my • knowledge, made any
contribution to law and order.
It has been charged by some
critics, such as Mayor Gordon
Stronach, of London, Ont., that
EMO exists to maintain retired
army officers. This was denied
as that time by the EMO co-
ordinator for that district, who
admitted however that in three.
years the local 10 -member com-
mittee was- unable to define its
role because it could not round
up its quorum of six to discuss
the problem.
As it now stands in --Canada,
Civil Defence, EMO, or call it
what you will, is a total waste
of tax funds and could be dis-
pensed ` with entirely and no
Anne would ever miss it.
Even the United States,
which has sp�t vast, amounts
to prepare shel for 135 mil-
lion people, Sees" Civil Defence
as a pitiful response , to . the
problems. of the nuclear•>age.
If the cities can't be protect-
ed, as Canadian EMO people
admit, the solution then is to
go•„ underground. If we want.
to become a nation of moles,
this is what we'd better do.

with the situation here, where
buildings can be remodelled to
accommodate a better farm sys-
tem, In Britain, he reported,
the government actually subsid-
izes remodelling of •farm build-
ings: ,
The reason why some farm-
ers here make money and some
lose is the system they are
using, he said. He urged his
listeners to sit , down 'and plan
what they are going to do with
the livestock they prefer, par-
ticularly with regard to build-
ings.
He concluded by saying that,
in his opinion, government sub-
sidies might be best applied to.
helping a farmer develop a bet-
ter system so that he can hep
himself to greater efficiency.
