The Wingham Advance-Times, 1966-03-17, Page 8IN LARGE URBAN AREAS salt wafted upwards by traffic and winds coats insulators on hydro lines aecl can cause power failures. Using insulator washing trucks equip- ped with high pressure hoses, Hydro workmen attack the grime with jets of water. The high pressure jet breaks up into a non-conducting spray enabling crews to carry out insulator washing in safety without shutting off the power. Other types of air pollution take over from the salt in the spring making washing a year round job.- Ontario Hydro Photo. RED CROSS IS ALWAYS THERE WITH YOUR HELP Ask Dad, he knows. Mom knows, too!

The local high school board was just about ready to have its architects draw up working plans for department approval when the Lucknow situ- ation arose.

Some 75 people in- volved in the problem attended the gathering, which was under the chairmanship of William Hunter, chairman of the Luck- now District High School Board. According to reports it was a long meeting with consider- able discussion. The meeting was also attended by public school inspectors, James Kin- kead of Huron County and Keith Waldie of Bruce County, and secondary school inspector, Donald Scott of London. The only immediate result of the meeting was an agree- ment by all councils that they will hold meetings with their elementary school representa- tives and report back at a furth- er meeting in two weeks. With agreement reached be- tween the Wingham and Luck- now high school districts, the plan now sits in the position that the elementary school sec- tions in the Lucknow district will be asked to approve the idea of using; the Lucknow high. school beildiraz as an elemen- 14 far; sci o-4"'1 tor grade '7 and I-4 Lucknow District Councils Consider Sao I Changes 44, I. 4'
