LOCKWOOD District Forester The fire season got off to a fast start this week with three fires at Pinery Park. Two of the fires were small — one acre or less, and origi- nated under suspicious circum- stances. Prompt action by de- partment staff and volunteers extinguished these before they got out of control. The other fire, originating from a municipal dump, spread rapidly and covered some 500 acres in less than four hours. A strong southwest wind car- ried that fire 2 1/2 miles, threatening homes and summer residences between the Pinery Park and Grand Bend. For- tunately, no lives or property were lost, Damage to Pinery Park it- self is excessive, resulting from the destruction of 200 acres of four and five-year old plantation. The resultingloss of aesthetic values and wildlife habitat will remain for many years as a blackened monument to human carelessness. I would like to express my appreciation to the staff, the municipal fire brigades, army personnel from Camp Ipper- wash, airforce personnel from Centralia, Department of High- ways' employees, and many oth- er citizens who assisted in con- trolling this disastrous fire.

Confused by confusing re- ports of a confusing situation, Clinton high school board has decided Wednesday to take im- mediate steps to end the con- fusion as soon as possible. The confusing situation is the question of how, big the vocational addition at Clinton should be. What makes it so confusing is the fact no one can accurately predict how many students will want technical education at CHSS in the next few years. And too, the board is con- fused over what the three boards at Exeter, Goderich and Sea- forth plan in the way of their own facilities for the coming years. The confusing reports on the situation are coming from the advisory vocational committee. At the March meeting the CHSS board received a recom- mendation from that commit- tee that an addition to house 380 students be built, to be opened for September, 1965. At that time, one of the CHSS representatives on the AVC, Walter Newcombe, re- ported that the recommenda- tion had passed by only a slim majority in the committee vote. The issue was discussed for a lengthy period at that meet- ing, and was then shelved by the CHSS board. At the April meeting of the board, held Wednesday, New- combe reported the AVC could not understand why the board didn't go for their suggestion of an addition for 380 pupils. He again indicated the "mix- ed thinking" by the AVC on the size of the addition. However, the confusion start- ed again when chairman John Lavis read a report from the Exeter Times-Advocate in wh- ich Garnet Hicks, SHDHS rep- resentative, indicated that only "the Clinton boys wanted to go for the 540-student addition, but the rest of us were ag- ainst this move". While these two reports of the thinking of the AVC were confusing in themselves, it was made even more so by the fact the CHSS board couldn't determine if the members of the AIM were actually giving the views of their respective boards when suggesting the 380-Student addition, or whether the matter had been discussed by the three sending boards at all. To end the confusion— or so they hope the board asked L. R. Maloney, business adminis- trator, to contact °Metals in each of the three other connim- Pities in an effort to get the respective boards' decisions on what site of an addition they recommend, BIG QUESTION One Of the biggest questions to be answered appears to be what the other schools will decide about sending grade nine students to CHSS in the future. Due to the present over- crowding, the three boards have agreed to keep their grade nine students at home this year and until 1967. "It all hinges on whether grade nines come," stated Geo- rge Falconer. "Yes", replied Principal D. John Cochrane, "but we won't know that for three years." Lavis said he wouldn't be surprised if the other schools decided to keep their grade nine students at home indefinitely. GIVE REASONS The board then decided to list the various reasons for building the 540 or 380 size addition. Reasons for the larger add- ition were as follows: — L. R. Maloney reported the department of education had indicated they would not allow any more additions after the one presently being considered. (However, many members felt the department would change their mind on that.) — It was noted that if the larger addition was built, it would necessitate fewer trips to the ratepayers for approval of debentures. — Norm Counter pointed out the boards knew exactly what grants would be received on the addition, but there was no way of determining if they would be as great in future years. It was noted the grants could go either way, up or down, in fu- ture years. — Principal Cochrane noted that the 540-student size pre- sented a better balance between classrooms and shops. — Newcombe noted that the vocational training was become ing more popular with students and predicted more would be interested in the future. (How- ever, it was noted that with so many following technical education now, the trend could be changed.) — It was noted it would be more economical to build a larger addition than to build several smaller ones at later dates. Reasons for building the 380- student size were as follows: — It would be more econom- ical from a standpoint of build- ing costs. — The projected enrolment of 1,506 in three years on the pres- ent agreement (of schools keep- ing own grade nine students) doesn't warrant a larger size. — The possibility of even lar- ger grants for building in the future after the smaller ad- dition is filled. — The present boiler may not be large enough to handle any more than this smaller size. —1.f the other boards want this size, CHSS would be stick- ing their necks out in building anything larger. As one mem- ber noted it would maintain harmony. The AVC recommends this size by a majority vote. Stones used to beat other stones into shape are assumed to have been the first tools used by primitive man. Here's the content of the PVC letter to town council outlining the need Or more revenue and 000;lng the amounts of the Propeaed increase in rates: Some time ago we advised you that our commission would require the issuing pf debenture :for the hydro depart- ment. This debenture is necessary to make the following pur- chases; line truck With a bucket attachment (estimated cost, $17,909); 2. A waterheater c on} r o 1 ($13,000); 3. A warehouse and truck storage ($14,590); 4. Oneeton service truck ($2,000e-old truck to be traded); The commission is planning a rate revision to raise sufficient additional funds to take care of the debenture and, as is the case for all utility debenture issues, this will have no effect on your mill rate. It may be of interest to you that our commission has not revised residential, commer- cial or industrial rates since 1953 and, as you are aware, the hydro department has no debene ture debt. The commission has, since 1953, absorbed continuous in- creases in the cost of material and higher wages as well as in- creases in the cost of power by the Ontario Hydro. Recently they absorbed the 3%provincial sales tax on all material pur- chased. A rate revision would have been necessary sometime ago. However, the commission was able to hold the rate by promoting more off-peak use of electricity. While our commission had a surplus of 9.9% in 1963, all of this money and some reserves have been put into capital plant to provide for new lines in re- cently developed areas in town. The proposed purchases that our commission has planned will enable them to provide a more efficient operation. The waterheater control will, how- ever, enable us to reduce our station peak load, thereby re- ducing our power bills. This equipment will pay for itself in a very few years. We will list the existing rates, proposed rates and some ex- planation on how they will effect our customers. RESIDENTIAL Existing-3.00 per KWH for first 60 hours of month; 1.3 for the balance; $1.11 gross mini- mum bill. Proposed: 3.60 per KWH for the first 50 hours per month; 1.80 for the next 200 hours; 1.10 for the balance . s $2.22 gross bill; minimum 0.80 bonus waterheater block. You will note that the pro- posed rate has an increased first rate, however the end rate is a decrease. This rate should have a tendency to increase consumption, thereby providing additional revenue. A customer using 750 KWH per month now pays a gross bill of $10.77. Under the new rate he will pay an additional 130. The bonus block is a Special rate with an allocated number of 500 KWH that is inserted between the second and third black of kilbWatt -betirs. Certain minimum element sizes Will be required for this special rate, COMMERCIAL Existing.-Seryice charge 500 per 1000 watts; 2.61 per KWH for first 100 hours' use of in- stalled load or maximum de- mand; 0.80 per KWH for the balance; $1.11 gross minimum bill. Proposed—S ervice charge 400 per 1000 watts; 3.00 per KWH for first 100 hours' use; 0.80 per KWH for second 100 hours' use; 0.50 per KWH for the balance; $2.22 gross mini- mum bill, Here again, there is a slight increase in the first block and a decrease in the end rate. This rate of 0.50 per KWH should be an incentive for commercial customers in the business area to use off-peak loads such as window lighting etc. Commer- cial heating rate of 1.50 per KWH will remain unchanged. All commercial customers with a connected load of less than 5000 watts will be billed in future at residential rates. Demand meters—P resent rentals of 500 per month for demand meters will be deleted. Waterheaters—Waterheaters presently being billed on a sche- dule #45, eg: unit with 1000 watt element pays $4.00 gross per month. Under the proposed rate this would be reduced to schedule #40, eg: unit with 1000 watt element would pay $3.56 gross per month, a reduction of 11.1%. House heating—Existing, all consumption 1.4 per KWH; proposed, 1.10. This is a re- duction of 15.4%. Street lighting—E xis tin g, $46.08 per kilowatt; proposed, $50.40. While this may seem like a substantial i ncr e as e, please bear ,in mind that a large pore lion of your street light bill is based on capital plant. ACtUally this rate chp,iiger will increase, your bill approximately - per month. While any increaaa in rates, tends to be objectionable, our commission has tried to hold this revision as low as possible. The overall increase is calcu, Wed at 3,8%, We trust you will giye, this proposal Yolir consideration and if approved we would request a letter in duplicate with a repo,- lution approving the debenture issue, also a letter in duplicate approving the rate revisions, as outlined in our letter. Upon formal approval of the rate by Ontario Ilydro our corn, mission would request that you make application to the muni, cipal board for its approval of the debenture issue, Cobras survive cold Pinery night Crediton Scout troop's cobra patrol didn't let a cold night spoil their fun during a recent weekend campout at Pinery park.
