Dear Editor;
Ontario liydromuist be leaning back in its
comfortable,, old armchair a little more
easily lately. Despite Hydro's lengthyand
harmonious • "marriage" with the con-
servative government ending so abruptly,
they are making headway toward a cosy
"common-law" relationship with the
Liberals.
Hydro did have a severe case of the jitters
when the Liberal party first took office -
however, now the "watchdog" committee
on Hydro includes two, true blue, former
energy ministers, one as chairman, things
appear well under control.
Even Premier Peterson soothed some of
Hydro's jangling nerves by stating that
Darlington may be too close to completion
for cancellation to be feasible - an abrupt
reversal of the premier's statement to the
Legislature on July 2. "Darlineton will turn
out to be one of the great mistakes that we
have made".
A word of warning to Ontario Hydro - that

comfy old armchair is beginning to show
signs of wear - the springs that support your
hefty weight are starting to groan:
- Standard & Poor's Corp., the New York
based credit rating agency has put a credit
watch on your $10.8 billion debt backed by
the Province.
- Even your ally, the Ontario Energy
Board, recommended that you raise your
1986 rate increase to 4.9 per cent to help pay
for your heavy borrowing and operating
costs.
- The report made to the Select Committee
by Cliff Jutlah of the Energy Ministry, pro-
bably caused some discomfort, when he
forecasted the demand for electricity is ex -
Public forum
To All Community Groups, Agencies and
Health Service Providers:
You are invited to participate in a public
forum entitled "Planning for Health in
Huron County", sponsored by the Huron
County Community Services Council.
The agenda will include two presentations
which are intended to provide an overview
of health planning in Ontario and Huron
County specifically.
Opportunities will be provided for input.
Suggestions and opinions offered by those in
attendance will be included in a summary
pected to grow by 2.2 per cent a year until
the turn of the century. The 2.2 per cent, per
annum, growth pattern aligns closely with
Hydro's low growth scenario, notthe
medium growth scenario for which the pro-
posed M7 transmission system was planned.
- Your armchair's biggest spring is. about
to penetrate the upholstery and stick into
your "derriere". Tension is mounting, and
landowners are ready to emphatically Op-
pose the ,previously mentioned M7
transmission system at the public hearings
in Guelph.
Be warned Ontario Hydro, due to public
pressure, that comfy, old, armchair may
soon have to be scrapped, and a straight-
backed, wooden chair of credibility and ac-
countability will have to be used.
Yours truly,
Jane Rose, l Mrs.)
will focus on health care
report to be prepared by the Community
Services Council and submitted to the
Minister of Health.
You are urged to attend.
Sincerely,
P. Carroll
Secretary,

Juvenile centre is a big mistake reader says
Dear editor.
As one of the three families affected by the
escape of three youths from the Bluewater
Centre, I want to thank the councillors for
their concern. A window was opened, a
screen was pried off and my purse was
taken ( with about $30 ).
Our car was pushed 50 yards on a
perimeter road and attempts were made to
start it. Because the car is old, it has some
starting quirks and failed to start. My
husbanu, who is 84 years old, and I, 78 years
of age, did not awaken. I'm glad we didn't.
There was an open can of cooking spray
lying near where my purse was hanging and
the wire on the intercom next to our phone
had been cut.
We think these youths are dangerous. Our
front door was unlocked and they probably
went out that way.
Attempts were made to take a car from
neighbours four cottages north of us who
were home. A window had been propped

third escapee was caught.
Our son came from Michigan quickly and
left his dog here with us so we can sleep at
night. Thank the Lord he also found my car
and house keys where they had been thrown.
This has been our summer home since
1966 and we've always felt safe here.
Hopefully, it will be that way again. We feel
that the establishment of the juvenile centre
was a mistake. Sincerely,
