Lead .tinn..es for procuring
transformers have doubled and
even tripled in many cases. The
sae holds true for cable and
wire as well as poles, said the
Hydro official.
"Unless customers can give us
substantially more lead time,"
Mr. Carlough said, "we won't be
able to provide them with the
electrical equipment they need
on time."
Manufacture of transformers is
being held up both by a steel
shortage and a scarcity of the
special oil they use. In addition,
the oil. shortage has reduced, the
supply of plastics used for elec-
trical insulation with the result
that cable and wire can take up to
six months to deliver.
To meet the shortage in trans-
former oils, Ontario Hydro is in-
vestigating ways of recondition-
ing oils from old transformers for
use in new ones. A concentrated
effort is being made to reclaim or
rehabilitate worn-out equipment.
The use of white spruce, abun-
dant in Ontario and Quebec, is
being investigated as a possible
substitute for western cedar
poles which have been in short
supply since 1973.
Various reasons are given for
the material shortages—among
them environmental demands
that diverted production to
cleanup devices, inflation which
created additional stimulus °to
demand and the excess'Manufac-
turing capacity of 1970 and 1971
that discouraged expansion that
mighthave met today's shortfall.
No accurate predictions can be
made on when the steel shortage
will ease, but it is expected it will
continue through 1974.
SOME POINTS TO REMEMBER: Recognize this odd couple? It's the business end of a
set of ignition points that are about to go out of business. Some car owner has experienced
hard starting and poor engine performance, unaware of the advanced state of deteriora-
tion of this vital ignition part. Car Care Council reminds motorists that, for maximum gas
mileage and minimum exhaust pollution, an engine must be kept in tune.

Freeze meat the right .way
The freezer is not a magic box
into which you can pop fresh

to taste fresh and be tender when

The wrapping on fresh, meat is
to protect it against over -

wrapping lets the fresh meat
"breathe", so that it is unsuited
to long-term freezing in very cold
and, dry air. Freezer air would

wrapped meat and leave you with

Preserving
cut flowers
Arrangements of cut flowers
often provide an added spark of
color in the living areas of our
homes. But,their relatively short
life means frequent water
changes and replacement of the
bouquets. Dave Sangster, a horti-
culturist with the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Flood, points out that the vase life
of cut flowers can be extended by
a one of the many floral
preservatives available from
your local retail florist.
Flower preservatives gen-
erally consist of a sugar solution
to maintain cellular integrity,
plps a germicide to prevent
flower stesns from becoming
plugged with bacterial growth.
