Clinton News-Record, 1981-11-04, Page 11• Geriatric patients at the Clinton Public Hospital had a special Hallowe'en day this year when local children entertained with songs, skits, jokes and funny costumes.

Scores were as follows: high lady, Jean Lindsay; high gent, 'Doc' Lindsay; low lady, Greta Scotchmer; low gent, Glen Dowson; lone hand, Mary Clarke. The next meeting will be on Wed- nesday 1 lth November. Former resident dies in B.C. Mrs. Frances Eliza Logan of Kelowna B.C. died at her home on October llth, 1981. She had lived in Clinton at one time, but Bayfield residents will, no doubt, best remember her from the time when she had a small needlework and craft store - next door to Graham's on Main Street. She is survived by her husband 'Thomas, four sons, James, Thomas Dennis and Gordon and a daughter Kathryn; 14 grandchildren and three great grand- children; one brother and five sisters. The funeral service at which the Rev. A. Baldeo officiated was held on October 15th in the Garden Chapel, Okanagan. Irl remembrance of Mrs. Hydro rates to jump in '82 Ontario Hydro announced rate increases for 1982 • averaging 9.6 percent to the ' province's 324 municipal electrical utilities and 10 per- cent to about 100 large direct industrial customers. Customers of Hydro's rural retail system will receive an increase averag- ing 8.7 percent. However, year-round rural residential customers will be provided with a discount to, reduce their bills in accordance with the proposed amendment to the Power Corporation Act which received second reading in the legislature last week. The new legisla- tion requires a reduction in the rate differential between year-round residential' rural and urban customers to 15 percent. Of the total 9.6 percent in- crease in the rates for bulk electricity approved by Hydro's Board of Directors, 1.3 percentage points is needed to cover the cost of providing the discount for., rural -residential, customers. The remaining 8.3 percent is needed to cover higher costs. Hydro Chairman Hugh Macaulay. said the effect of the 9.6 percent increase on customers of the municipal .utilities will depend upon how it works in with other costs facing the utilities. Rural user rates up 4.8 per cent The combination of .the reduced rural -urban rate dif- ferential and the 8.7 percent increase for 1982 means a year-round rural residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month will face a net increase of 4.8 per- cent in his .electricity bills next year. Therefore, a customer whose monthly bill this year is $49., and who benefited from the govern- ment subsidy for a net bill of $45.60 in 1981 would next year be billed $53.18 minus the rural assistance of $5.40 fora net bill of $47.78. Without the rate assistance, rural residential customers of Ontario Hydro would have paid an average of 28 percent more for their electricity in 1982 than customers of municipal utilities in the cities and towns. Reducing it to 15 per- cent in accordance with the pending .. legislation, Macaulay said, creates a need for an additional $34 million for all Hydro customers. "With general inflation ex- pected to run at about 11.5 percent next year \," Macaulay said, "Hydrb's Board of Directors' feels thesecreases are very reasonable." He said that export sales of electricity to the United States and con- tinued strong performance of nuclear generating units are two important factors assisting Hydro in keeping the 1982 rate increases below the rate of inflation. Cautious hunting stressed The hunters of Ontario are probably the only people who are welcoming the cooler weather and longer nights. Put those two things together, add the trees changing color and you have the onset of hunting season. The Ontario Provincial Police have a few ideas which could mean a more successful and enjoyable hunt this fall. Guns and alcohol area bad combination. So the real hunting enthusiast keeps the two apart. Some social activities are part of most camp life, but they should be kept until the hunting day is over. You have to be stone- cold sober to protect yourself in the bush Once you are off the beaten trail, ,the bush areas of Ontario become a hostile environment. Again - .the knowledgeable hunter has the advantage; he'll carry a map, a compass and a survival kit. If he loses his bearings, he stands a much better chance of getting back to camp. One last tip. Anyone who is thinking of getting a new rifle or shotgun for the hunting season must have a firearms acquisition cer- tificate. If you don't have one already, give yourself some time to go through this formality before your hunt. You can apply for the cer- tificates at any police office and they are good for five years. It's the successful hunts that are best remembered. It's also the hunting tragedies that are never forgotten. With forethought, good planning, and an awareness of what could go wrong, you have all the ingredients for a memorable hunting season.

Repeatedly we have pointed out that girls are in great dernand for factory help, that the two factories in Clinton which employ girls would -gladly double their staff if they could. And this week we are in receipt of an advertisment calling for 100 girls. It is no use publishing the same, because the girls are not to be had at present. But there must be a number of girls to whom the wages offered are good money, but who are reluctant to earn their own living. If girls cannot be had in this country, they will have to be imported, because the industrial development is so great that it will ue greatly ietatucd it extra help is not available. • 100 YEARS AGO November 11, 1s. 1 Goderich Township's Mr. John Colclough of the Base Line has placed an immense cedar rail fence along the front of his farm, which will be an extra per- suasive to the snows of winter in order to obtain an elevated position.

Cox, Mr. Barry Cleave, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. G. Graham, Mrs: T. Penhale, Mrs. J. Reddocle, Mrs. J. Siertsema and Mrs. G. Wilson were among the 150 or so members of Agricultural Societies from. the Huron -Perth area. Beginning with a delicious pot -luck supper, the mem- bers submitted their reports and discussed matters of common interest, and it was noted that there had been an increase in the number of fairs held in Ontario during the past year - an indication perhaps that the day of the small fair is not over! In memory of her husband, the late Ken Reaney, for many years manager of Mitchell Fair, Mrs. Jean Reaney presented a plaque. This is to be awarded at the Annual Conference to the Society having the most Bayfield Garden Club meet The next meeting of the Bayfield Garden Club will be on Monday, November 9th at 8 p.m. in the Municipal Building.

Once again with regard to practical matters, Reeve Fellows enquired as to at- titudes towards the designation of residences. In reply, Mr. Cormack stated that 17 houses had now been designated which was a source of satisfaction to their owners. From this point oto .view, and here he spoke with some experience, more people were looking for older houses since they were so much better built. Summing up another successful evening, Miss Kay Reid added her thanks to those of the Reeve and added that she felt that this talk on the practicalities rather than the theories of conservation had provided a boost for Bayfield's very newly formed L.A.C.A.C. Committee. The meeting then ad- journed and hostesses Doris Reddoch, Vivian Morton and Vera McLoughlin served the refreshments. with her friend Paul Cart- wright. Bayfield friends of Mrs. Mary Nediger will be sorry to hear that she is bade in hospital, although latest reports indicate that she should be returning home again this week. Bayfield friends send her best wishes for a good recovery. Smile The "good old days were once known as "these trying times." D,RY'DAIi. MAJOR APPLIANCE CENTRE LTD.
