The peak time for electricity
consumption in Seaforth is from
down• at 5 p.m. Then too, most
people go home for their main
meal over the noon hour and all
over town stoves are on, cooking
the dinner meal..
Most people have only an hour
off at noon and must eaC,thett--
while the, evening meal is more
spread out, with people using
hydro to cook over two or three
hours.
"Contingent upon Ministry of
Education grant approval" the
Huron Cdunty Board of Education
moved to approve the purchase of
six new school buses at its
meeting on Monday afternoon.
On- November 22 the Manage-
ment Committee of the Board
discussed the advisability of the
purchase and agreed to
recommend .that the move be
Carried out.
Four of the new buses will be of _
72 passenger capacity with the
7s
remaining two being fitted for 60
passengers.
They are to be delivered during
the period of January to August,of
1977.
;11 in the morning until about 2 in
the afternoon, according to new
PUC manager Toni Phillips. Peak
h ydro use hours in the cities are
from 5 to 7 p.m. and utilities inl
big cities around the province
have been asking customers to
cut down on power use during
that early evening time or face
power cuts.
Some cities have had power
cuts of 25 minutes, rotating from
area to area and there has been
talk that it may be ncessary to cut •
down on the flow of power,
because one of Ontario flydro's
generating stations has broken
down. Christmas time is when
hydro use all over the province is
at its peak.
Mr. Phillips says it's doubtful
that power interruptions or
cutbacks will be necessary in
Seaforth because we are very
close to two feeder lines running
to the substation in Tuckersmith.
But that doesn't mean that
Seaforth PUC customers should
forget being careful about how,
much power they use..
Seaforth should be okay as long
as people use restraint, Mr.
Philips says. The PUC itself has
cut down quite a bit on' the
Christmas season power
consumption by eliminating
strings of lights from the Main St.
lamp post decorations and by
putting decorations up, but riot
lighting them, on Goderich St.
"It's better to have partial
power than cut offs," the PUC
manager said.
People can also help keep
power consumption down by
turning their outdoor Christmas
lights and tree lights on at 7 p.m.
and off when they go to bed,
according to Ontario Hydro.
Seaforth's peak power use time
is so much earlier than the peak
time in the cities, Mr, Phillips
says, because industry here, shuts

the Expositor awe to the
volunteers who provide the
excellent sports coverage that you
read here every week,
Bob Dinsmore, Dave Broome',
fiord Moylan, Gordon Nobel,
Anne Underwood, Gwen
Patterson, Laurie S avauges Mary
Finlayson and sevetal other
people work hard so that the"
public can read stories about their
sports. We just don't have the
staff to have a reporter assigne,d
to sports stories. but because of
these dedicated volunteers, we
get some of the sports •news that
our readers like.
But there are other active
sports groups in Seaforth whose
game .results don't reach our
paper. This is a plea for them to
get in touch. Minor hockey scores
and game stories, figure skating,
snowmobile and ringette news
would be especially welcome. If
these groups and others could
find a willing volunteer who'd
gather the material for us, we'd
be happy to rewrite it and print
their news every week.
If your group has a benefit
game or a tournament coming up,
tell us about it and we'll give you
some publicity. And send us the
scores after the games are over
and we'll print them too.
The Expositor is trying to
improve its sports coverage. We
send photographers to get photos
at hockey games. We're glad to
take team photos and photos at

When members of the Huron
County Board of Education were
given an opportunity on Monday
afternoon to announce their
candidacy to top Board positions,
only present Chairman Herb
Turkheim indicated his intention
to seek that position.
There will be,. a contest for the
vice-Ch airman' s position
however. An eight year veteran of
the Board, Marian Zinn and John
Elliott of Blyth, both indicated
their aspirations for that post.

Seaforth, they, like my caller, .will
spend their money elsewhere;
Tile livelihood of our downtown

We at the Expositor are among

about Christmas is the chance to
listen to Christmas carols.

isn't around to stop me.
That's why I'm especially
happy about the Expositor's
Christmas Carol Song, Sheet, on
pages 11 and 12A of this week's
paper. Make sure you cut it out and
save it, and take it along to your

She rhymed off a list of places
where she wanted to shop here on
Main St., but most of the
downtown parking spaces were
taken up by the cars of local
merchants and their employees.
She'd finally given up in disgust
and gone• home, to plan her trip to
Stratford, probably to a shopping
centre where parking places are
plentiful.
She's got a point. It wouldn't
hurt all of us to remember,
especially at this busy Christmas
season, that if we want people to
shop in Seaforth, we've got to
have places for them to park. It's
just not sensible to have two and
three or even one car belonging to
employees of a
parked smack

Every business person's car
parked on Main St. means that
there's one less space fur a
carload, of shoppers.
We downtown workers can
park on the back streets or in the
alleys behind stores. Even better
we could all follow the example of
a few Seaforth merchants, the
Lingelbachs and the Izacovics
come to mind, who, and, hoiror of
horrors, walk to work.
The walls, especially if it's just
from a parking place a block
away, won't hurt us. Available

We've enjoyed reading the
letters to Santa that have come
into the Expositor before we send
them to the North Pole.
But absolutely the best letter
we've received so far, we can't
print in the paper, although of
course we'll send it along to Santa
with all the others.
According to its envelope, it's a
letter from Angela. Inside the
sheet of paper is covered with
squiggles and lines in Angela's•
own writing. She obviously
worked hard 'at it and wrote
quickly, as she's seen her mom
and dad do.
We can't read it but we're sure
Santa Claus can, so rest assured
Angela, that you're on Santa's
list.
