Finally, in so far as the residents of North York Township are concern- ed and, as stated by myself on many occasions, at ratepayers’ meetings and elsewhere, there are thousands of sump-pumps placed in the ,base- ments of homes in our municipality which are very necessary, particul- arly during the winter months and in the spring, and if we fail to live within our quota and‘ it should be-» For your information, our quota was exceeded last week by approx- imately 24.000 kilowatt hours daily, and it was therefore necessary to take immediate action to curtail the use of power and‘work out a pregram that will enable the North York Hydro- Electric Commission to carry on dur- ing the Fall and Winter months with- out the necessity of pulling switches. It must be realized by all concernâ€" ed that if power service were inter- rupted in manner suggested by the Provincial Power Commission all usâ€" ers of the North Yonge Radial Line would have been greatly embarrassed by these interruptions and 'it was felt by the Reeves of the four Municipal- ities affected that it was their duty to see that reasonably good transpOr- tation facilities should be made av- ailable during the period that this power shortage exists. The average power consumed, ac- cording to the season of the year, by the operation of the North Yonge Ra- dial Line varies between 7,000 and 10,000 kilowatt hours daily, so that it will be readily seen that by the subâ€" stitution of buses this saving of pow- Arrangements have already been made by our local municipality with a number of industrialists, including de Havilland, Fruehauf Trailer Co. of Canada Ltd., and many others for their working hours to be staggered lJ such a manner as to assist us. (21' will very materially help the North York Township Hydro Com- mission to gain control of the sit- uation_ It is also vital that all possible power be conserved by domestic conâ€" sumers in order that the wheels of industry may continue to turn unin- terrupted‘ly and thus maintain max- imum employment conditions. How- ever, the failure to co-operate by many ofâ€" the domestic consumers is to be regretted and I certainly hope that they will endeavour to pull switches on water heaters as much as possible and to reduce consUmp- tion of power in any other way they can. I wish to to repeat this is a tem- porary measure only and no fran- chise rights are being interfered with and no attempt is being made to force upon the citizens a transporta- tion system which they may not yvish to have. I am quite satisfied that ample opportunity will be given to the residents of the four municipal- ities affected to record their vote in a democratic way when it seems (le- sirable to obtain such an opinion from them as to the future means of transportation for the residents in those areas. Commission of Ontario has issued letters to the various Municipal Hy- dro Commissions which, in effect, state that the consumption of kilo- watt hours has been considerably in excess of the quota allotted to the municipalities and that unleSS our week-day consumption of kilowatt hours is reduced to the quota which had been allotted, the Provincial E1- ectric Power 1Commission would be obliged to request us to open swit- ches for regular intervals throughout the day until the required reduction is assured. Failure to comply with this request will make it necessary for the Provincial Commission to interrupt our power supply every hour on the hour throughout the day, from dawn until dark, for periods of time rang- ing up to 15 minutes in duration. A copy of this letter was sent to me on September 27th, with the requst that I give all assistance possible and en- deavour to make the necessary ar- rangements to avoid these power in- t'erruptions. It appears to me that, because of the decision made by the Reeves of the four lnunicipalitlés having an interest in the North Yonge Radial to replace street cars with buses as a temporary measure, the citizens should be told why such a decision was necessary, and we must con- sider ourselves fortunate that buses are available at this critical time. Much publicity has been given to the fact that there is a very serious power shortage at present exisiting in the Province of Ontario and in an attempt to keep the wheels of in- dustry turning and to give the dom- estic consumer a reasonable supply of power, the Hydro-Electric Power The Li LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE ea 1‘ ichmond Hi1] Mr. Editor w era] ale, October Ont 1948 Many of the parents are taking a dim view of these _speedsters as a good number of thef'n came from the city primarily to get away from traffic hazards of city streets. Could be some action may be taken if a change is not apparent. Many community residents are be.- ginning' to wonder when the township engineer is going to advise them as to whether their culverts are at the proper depth for the best drainage. Word came from the council cham- ber last spring when the condition of the roads was a major problem. We sincerely hope this has not been for- gotten for if memory serves us cor- rectly every year has a spring with its share of water and next spring will be no exception.

Mitchell, Reeve The many friends of Mrs. G. Wells of Oak avenue will be relieved and thankful to know that she is resting much easier and in a more cheerful frame of mind. Mrs, Wells is in the Toronto General Hospital where she has been confined due to a condition of general ill-health. The exuberant feeling of an auto- mobile and an open road expressed with an itchy foot on an accelerator is once again being noticed on the Yonge St. sideroad. It could be that open road may suddenly have a child on it. You can’t stop very fast on gravel, no matter how good your brakes are. The bones and flesh of children is a possession more prec- ious than the wealth of the world â€" so far the district has been very lucky. Don’t let there be a first time. ' Red trounced Carlo Trounce in the main bout by takingthe first and third falls in a display of mat may- hem. In the preliminaries Ernie An answer to this could be a lack of recreational facilities in the even- ings for the younger citizens â€" it could‘ be the community hall may solve this so very important problem â€" what do you think? The teaching staff and pupils alike welcomed Mrs. D. Tansley back to the Richvale- school last Monday. Mrs. Tansley has sucCeSSfully recovered from a seriOus operation â€" the con- valescence from which compelled her to miss the school opening. ‘ Mrs. Tanser must take things easy for a while; however she expressd a feeling of enthusiasm for the new surroundings in which she'will con- tinue her teaching duties. Weekly News Budget From The Richvale Community Youthful prank: have taken a ser- ious turn of late in the Richvale dis- trict. The nature of these childish depradations have been of such mag- nitude that they have come under the notice of the local constabulary. Since the opening of the current school term the 'Ric-hvale public school on Spruce Avenue has been broken into no less than twice, A small sum of money was taken as well as sundry articles used in school work. The money and articles stolen how- ever, is of secondary importance to the obscene remarks written on the blackboards and the filth which was deliberately left in prominent parts of the rooms. There must be an answer to this conduct â€" is it lack of parental supâ€" ervision or is it just'another sign of the times? 00-,OOOOOOGQOOOOQOWOOON00099“0009960“¢069”9000“ WMOOOOONOONOONWWOM”OWW“W Richmond Hill 47R11 “We Deliver Right To Your Door” Quality Feeds â€"â€" Hay â€"â€" Straw â€" Semi-Solid Buttermilk Insulation â€" Shingles â€"- FM Pumps â€" Rosco Products We Are The Exclusive Distributors For the Famous For Poultry â€"â€" Farms â€"â€" Riding Stables â€" Kennels CAFETERIA and SUN-RAY FEEDS NEED FEED?

This group which originated in Peterboro in 1942, has been enthusiastically re- ceived by radio listeners in Ontario and Quebec and this is your oppor- tunity to see this radio Sunday School in person. (This radio Sun- day School is now on the air each Saturday morning 9.30-10 am. over station C‘HUM (1050 kilocycles). An added feature will be a grudge match between two local boys, Frank Young and Joe Petcofi‘, in a bout to the finish and may the best man win â€"wow!!! Houghson took two straight falls of Harvey Stanfield with a very fine dis- play of ring lo(re which pleased the spectators no end. Two local lads, Cleve Burton and Tom “Junior” Cooney, entered the lists in a very impressive manner. They wrestled one fall each with Ed Mangotich and both exhibited them- selves as no m_ean opponents. The preliminaries will find Cleve Burton versus Ed Mangotich for one fall, 30 minute limit and “Junior” Cooney in opposition to Joe Halem for a similar period. “Red” will again promote an ex- hibition under the sponsorship of the Ratepayers Association next Tuesday evening, Octobr 12th, at the arena in Richmond Hill. He will introduce team wrestling for the first time in this district. Ernie Houghson will team with Red' in opposition to Car- lo Tl‘ounce and Harvey Stanfield in the feature.
