K. PORTER COMPANY (CANADA) LTD. ELECTRICAL DIVISION P.O. BOX 157, WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO CLINTON IsIgWS-R4CORP, THURSDAY, MARCH 21), 1974-7A PUC manager says quality important too The year 1974 will go down in the records of the Clinton Public Utilities Commission as one of the most significant years since it's inception on February 15, 1914. Rapid changes in attitudes towards consumerism, energy conservation and the depletion of non-renewable resources have placed your Public Utilities Commission in the right place at the right time, Its objectives over the years of consumer satisfaction in high standards of performance of equipment, and high levels of quality installations are now the goals of all segments of government and industry, Electricity turns night into day, controls traffic, pumps water, 'drives the machinery in mines and factories, brings the wonders of communications and entertainment into your homes, help teachers in classrooms, surgeons in operating rooms, and farmers get their chores done. On a per person basis, our use of electricity is 60 per cent greater than the United States and second only to Norway. Electricity is a part of our daily life. We have come to ex- pect electricity to be available whenever and wherever and in any quantity we want. We depend on electricity more than many people realize. A whole generation of Canadians has never had to face life without it. Now we are moving to a nuclear-electric energy base, there is ample electric energy for mankind, on a continuing basis. Fortunately, the technology to do this is within our present reach, and Ontario Hydro's, Douglas Point and Pickering Plants, which use the Atomic Energy of Canada-CANDU Reactor Design, are in successful operation. Much of the strength of the Public Utilities Commission lies in the ability of our Commission and the ToWn of Clin- ton allies to communicate with the general consumers, Without the confidence of the consumers, our overall objec- tives Would not be -attained. R. My thanks to all the people of Clinton. the Clinton Public Utilities Commission for their efforts. R.J. Boussey Commerative plaque to be unveiled A commemorative bronze plaque to mark the 60th An- niverSary of the formation of the Clinton Public Utilities Commission will be unveiled on Friday March 29 at. the of- fices of the Clinton PUC on Park Lane.

Following the banquet, guest speakers will talk on the PUC and several special speakers have been lined up. Electricity... (continued from page 6A) They chose a sight on East Street in south east part of the Town and were able to buy 3- 1000 KVA transformers for in- stallation. The sub-station was completed in August 1964, providing the Town with ex- cellent electricity resources. Meanwhile, of course, other improvements were being com- pleted, including new cement poles on the main streets with fluorescent lighting, moving them back several feet in order to accommodate a new sewerage system. In 1967, R. J. Boussey was made Manager of the Clinton Public Utilities Commission. He too, had a long connection with electricity and is the current Manager. Thus, over a period of 50 years there have been only four managers of the PUC. Each met the emergencies of his time and these ,will continue. However, it is a tribute to the stability of the administration of the Commission that each Manager sold his time long and well and it is a sound in- dication that Clinton can ex- pect what it, wants—the best in electrical service.
