In this case hum ever, since the Huron county Qilanning department was (-idled in to draw up the plans, the a n [ will go back to the county. ininars, where Howick rest - Paver rates discussed et OMEA meeting Jack Reavie, Roy E. Bennett and Rod Wraith of the Wingham Public Utilities Commission were among over 1,400 delegates rep- resenting electric utility commis- sions from across the province at the annual convention of the On- tario Municipal Electric Associa- tion (O.M.E.A. ) Delegates to the three-day an- nual meeting, held at the Royal York Hotel, March 2-5, were in- volved in discussion on signi- ficant issues that affect their con- sumers. The program was highlighted by an address by R. B. Taylor, chairman, Ontario Hydro, and a panel presentation on "Rate ' Structures— Which One? When? Why?" Panelists were Roland A. Kampmeier, consulting engineer of Chattanooga, Tennessee and Dr. Irwin M. Stelzer, economist and consultant from New York ;City. Both men are leaders in the field of utility rate structures. Panel moderator was A. J. Bowk- er of Gloucester, Ontario, retir- ing president of O.M.E.A. In addressing the meeting, Mr. Bowker outlined the Associa- tion's increased responsibility and activity in developing dial- ogue with the various ministries at Queen's Park since the com- pletion of the Task Force Hydro reports. Pressures for changes in rates and methods of distribution of electric power, both warranted audwarrapted, will demand that theossociatiort become more `g! 'zpx senting ,the viewpoint, and interest, of the customers of electric utilities in Ontario. Mr. Bowker called on all local utility commissioners to get in- volved and become more vocal on behalf of their constituents. He stated, "These are times of change, for better or worse. Now is the time to plan for the future and to press for adoption of the thingsyou believe in." Watch those `show dogs' at pet stores Dr. Eric Ginsberg of Willow - dale strongly criticized the sel- ling of imported dogs through pet stores in Ontario at the 101st annual Ontario Veterinary Association meeting held in Hamilton. He said they're often sick on arrival, may be sold as "show dogs" when only of pet calibre and generally are of poor quality. Some pet store problems en- countered by veterinarians in- clude vaccinations given by kennel owners, not veterinarians, and the dubious quality of the vaccine. Many dogs are vac- cinated too young for the vaccine to be effective, and many pet stores don't keep up booster shots orworm dogs properly, if at all, he said. "Many pet store dogs (im- ported from the U.S. midwest and Great Britain) arrive coughing at our airports, suffering from kennel cough which is difficult to distinguish from canine dis- temper. Dogs from England and U.S.A. often arrive with nutri- tional deficiencies, rickets, eye problems, hernias and congenital heart murmurs," Dr. Ginsberg said. The solution, according to the veterinarian, includes veterinary supervision of drug and vaccine handling in pet stores, (at present, pet store owners cin buy vaccine over the counter and often obtain controlled drugs such as barbituates,. and nar- cotics.) The pet -buying public should demand that health and vaccination certificates be signed by a veterinarian, he said, and closer medical checks of animals at ports of entry should be made. He also called for development of a commercial dog breeding industry in Canada, which could be bib ght about by charging tariffs and taxes on imported dogs. hn*Ing, costs dents were able to express their opinions on how the official plan should read, came •to a close March 11.
