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

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

In Summerhill Mrs. Miller's social on
Monday night was very largely attended.
The evening was spent in the usual games,
singing etc. All were bound to enjoy
themselves. In one room we had music on
the concertina, and hi another "qurious"
tricks, checkers and old men's jokes and in
the other a variety of amusing games
interspersed with music. The gathering
broke up in the "large" hours after having
spent a very pleasant evening.

Mrs. J. Siertsema and Mrs.

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.

practical note,he also asked
if there was real evidence
that local merchants had
benefitted as a result of the
scheme, to which the answer
was an unqualified `yes', the
fame of Paisley had spread
Province wide.
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.
