(Schubert) and "My Heart At. Phy.
Sweet Voice" (Saint-Saens).
The numbers chosen by Phyllis
Patterson revealed her flair for com-
edy characterizations. Included were
"At tfie Movies" and "Tier First, Les-
son in Horseback Hiding."
FoilOwing the program the choir of
the• church entertained .the visiting.
choir and guest artists at' a social

$22,000;000 by the Flydro'.Commission
on labor and'materials 'with the On-

to cover fifty per cent- of that
cost, . the ..plan, it is estimated,will
result in the construction of over
7,000 miles of additional rural lines,.
which will bring Hydro service ce to
approximately 57,900 new rural con-
sumers, of whom 32,000 will • be farm-
ers.
Mr. Chaliies, who is vice-chairman
of the Hylre Electric' Power Commis-
sion of Ontario, also announced that
the government would • de -invoke the

To Spend Million a Month "
Stressing the far-reaching benefits
of the• plan, not only' to the farmer
but to industry and the working man,
Mr. Challies said that it was estimat-
ed that both existing and new rural,
consumers would spend over $40,000,-
.00.0 on wiring their homes and. farms
and on equipment. That sum,' com-
bined with what the Commission and
the government would spend, he stat-
ed, Would represent 'a total expendi-
ture of over $60,000,00p,.',and average
$1;000,000 a month over the.•five-year.
period`
From the standpoint of employment
he said that it had. been estimated
that the services of• 5,000 men Would
be required during each of the five !,
years by the Commission ' is the
electrical• industry to complete the
plan.
Emphasizing the magniture of the
Commission's five-year plan „for rural
Hydro • development, •Mr. Challies
pointed out that at the present time
only 65 per cent. of Ontario farms
capable. of receiving electrical service
are' now being served, representing
61,486 farms out of a possible 112,000.
Upon, completion of the vast expan-
sion schedule,' it was estimated that
81 per cent. of• the total ultimate
mileage of rural primary lines will
have been, constructed and that al
most 85 -,per cent. of farms within the
area that will eventually be served
'by the Commission will be'enjoying
the conveniences and benefits of rur-
al Hydro service, he stated. "
"The government," Mr. .Challies
said, "realizes ,"the, all-important place
which agriculture oci:upies as a basic
industry in the economic structure of
this ,province. It is, 'therefore„ the
desire of both the Commission and
the government' to inaugurate a pro-
gram which will enable as many
farms •as possible to enjdy the bene-
fits of low-cost Hydro power."
"The •applicaation' of electrical pow-
er to agricultural requirements; is
the key to farming as a successful
business in the post-war world," the
Commissioner continued. "Production
and conservation of crops and live-
stock depend more and more on elec-
trical aids; and the, effective applica-
tion of electricity to many household
uses has been recognized as, an essen-
tial to the health and svelfre of the
farm (family. In short, electricity
provides the greatest aid to the farm-
er at the lowest cost byincreasing
his production, saving him labor and
improving his standard of living.
- Government Grant -in -Aid ,
The fact that the government would
provide a grant-in-aid to cover fifty
per cent. of the capital cost of distri-
bution facilities and meet any losses,
should they occur, from reduction of
service charges and unification of
rural rates showed its intention of
continuing its policy of assisting the
extension of rural electrical service,
Mr. Challies stated.
He declared that the success of the
plan was based upon the closest co-
operation among the Commission, the
farmer and the electrical supplier, It
had been estimated, Mr. Challies,safd,
that the • five-year plan would entail
the installation of large numbers of
appliances, including 18,800 ranges;
58,500 washers;. .6,950 flat -rate water
heaters; 90,000 irons; 24,600 ,refriger-
atore ,and 95,500 radios, ,;an rural
homes; and farm„ equipment installa-
tions, including 6,45.0 grain grinders;
3,1150•rniliting machines; 7,400 water
'pumps and 2,300 milk coolers. ,
Contitining, Mr. Chailies referred to
the 'uniform rural rates .introduced in
January of 1944, and pointed, out that
although consumption by farm con-
sumers had not increased very much
during the past year over 1943, the
average monthly bill paid had drop-
ped from. $3.81 in 1943 to $3.39 in

made his hone here until his death.'

a member of the Seaforth Fire Bri-
gade team that won the International
hose -reel running championship' ..at'
Port Huron in the eighties, when they
created a record that' has never been

note 'that the last three surviving

Alex Broad'foot, of Mbose Jaw, should
all pass away within a few days of
each other” Mr.' Edge was a life-

vice was held at the G. A.. Whitney
