NEVVS:RECOHD, II4VHSPAY, MAY 2, 1974---9 Clinton Hydro manager .appeals- for 'help Ontario Hydro has appealed to developers and industrial customers to provide the utility with earlier notification of planned new developments requiring transformers and other electrical equipment. Clinton Area Manager Walter Palmer explained that a world shortage of critical materials, particularly steel, is causing severe delays in deliveries of electrical equip- ment. "One area of particular local concern is the matter of' upgraded farm services," Mr. Palmer said. "There will be delays in our ability to react to these service changes as promp- tly as we have in the past," Farmers planning service changes are asked to have their electrical contractor advise the. local Hydra office of their plans, as early as possible. Where once manufacturers were able to supply tranafor,- iner$ within a feW days of receiving an order, tleliveries today may take as long as 4Q weeks, said the Hydro official. "Unless customers can give us, sulAtantially more lead time," he said, "we can't provide .them with the elec- trical equipment they need, on Manufacture of transformers is being- held up both by a steel shortage and a scarcity of the special oil they use. In ad- dition, the oil shortage has reduced the supply of plastics used for electrical insulation with the result that cable and wire can take up to six months to deliver, Wood poles are also in critically short supply, "Sorrip 10,000 feet of damaged cable resulting from the recent tornado-like storm in Hibbert Township is being reclaimed for local use as guying material, rather than being scrapped," said Mr. Palmer, ' To meet the shortage in tran- sformer oils, Ontario Hydro is investigating ways of recon- ditioning oils from old transfor- mers so that they can be reused in new transformers. Hydro is also making a con- centrated effort to reclaim or rehabilitate worn-out equip- ment instead of simply selling or scrapping it, For example, when, a transmission line is upgraded, the old conductor ' may have 20 years of remaining life and may be useable, Vailous reasons are given for the material shortages among them environmental demands that diverted some production to cleanup devices, inflation which created additional stimulus to demand and the ex- cess capacity of 1970 and 1971 that discouraged the expansion that might have met today's shortfall. No accurate predictions can be made on when the steel shortage will ease,, but is expec- ted it will continue through 1974. • CAiL AN ELECTIIICIAN YOU CANTRUSI;WNE SPENDING HARD EARNED MONEY' BUDD KUEHL at HURON PINES ELECTRIC 86 King St. Phone Clinton 482-7901 County council appoints three to historical board Ontario Hydro researchers are carrying out a preliminary study of public attitudes and other related social factors in Huron county this week. The study involves the gathering of data on attitudes of people in the study area toward possible new generating station sites and associated transmission lines. It is hoped the work will identify major social issues and concerns in the area, and provide infor- mation for further research into citizen involvement. This preliminary study in- volves government ministries and the community. It marks the very first step in a sequence of events that would lead to full public participation in the selection of a site in Huron county once such proposal is approved. During this early phase citizens randomly selected will be interviewed by a team of researchers. A series of meetings with members of the public with a view to their participation in the choice of the site for a new electrical energy centre wilt also be held. The meetings likely will begin in late spring or the sum- mer, it was announced today. Following these meetings the site will be chosen. The new energy centre would be the site of one or more ther- mal-electric generating stations? The decision as to the type of station will be decided later. The new station, or stations, "will help to balance the generation for the province. In Eastern Ontario five or six stations, located at Lennox, Pickering, Bowmanville and Wesleyville are in various stages of construction or recen- tly completed. We now will need to balance this generation with comparable stations in the western part of the province," a Hydro spokesman said. Power from the new Lake Huron plant will 'be needed by the mid-1980's, Stations now under construc- tion in various stages of development in southwestern Ontario include two nuclear stations at Bruce and two coal- fired stations at Nanticoke on Lake Erie. ' The Ontario Energy Board is holding public meetings in Toronto' to examine Ontario Hydro's system expansion plans to 1982. The new plant, planned for lower Lake Huron area, is outside this date, since it is expected to be operational in the mid-1980's. In a brief session of Huron County Coun- cil Thursday, April 25, approval was given by the Executive Committee for three members of Huron County Council to be members on the Historical Building Com- mittee, This committee, comprised • mainly of persons interested in the preservation of the former Huron County Jail and finding some use for it, has its first meeting this week. The county's representatives on that committee will be the Warden, this year Bill Elston: the chairman of the executive committee, this year Doug McNeil ; and the chairman of the property committee, this year Harold Wild. Reeve' Wild told council the Huron County branch of the Architectural Conser- vancy which is heading up the Historical Building ComMittee, is actually the former Save the Jail Society. HO said in his opinion, the group' has "honest intentions", "The least we can do is to give them a chance to see what they can come up with," said Reeve Wild. There was considerable discussion The combination of "black light" and excellent costuming and acting by the students at Hotmesville Public School last week proved to be an exciting formula that provided and out- standing version of "Tom Sawyer."

However, it was decided the "continuity" of the Historical Building Committee should come from the non- elected people on it and that the Warden and the two committee chairmen were the best choices of council. In other business, council learned that a new librarian has been appointed and will assume his new duties August 12. W.Par- cridge will replace Miss Ethel Dewar as county librarian when she retires this sum- mer. His salary will be $13,500 until the end of 1974 when it will be increased to $14,500. • Teachers go back to school . • • Continued from page 1 concerned, looking at the strong family base iri'thes• county, I don't see how they leou Id ' She said 'nursery school, through day care centre, is becoming more popular, and spoke of a study being made to compare day' care children and non day care which has not been published as yet. • In Grand Bend, they have brought in parents to help with remedial reading and a body management course to improve co- ordination of mind and body, she said in praise of this program.

Dr. Mills said in his view, a Huron office would entail splitting the present staff in Sarnia between the two offices. Reeve Mcllwain said that wasn't the way it usually ended up however, and felt a Open Huron office would necessitate substan- tially more employees. —' Closed Weds.
