ELECTRICITY Electricity is right there around us, whenever we want to use it. Plug in an appliance or flip a switch. Its there. Our industries hum, our business and commercial firms prosper, our farms produce at record levels, thanks to Many little, but important things around the home get done quietly, quickly and efficiently through our elec- trical servants. The toaster toasts. The family laundry comes up sparkling. Our T.V. set entertains and informs. Newspapers and magazines record instant history. Yes, life is better and brighter because of electricity. We're happy to join with other elements of the electrical industry in observing the 126th anniversary of the birth of Thomas A. Edison, the inventive genius who made possible many of these advances for our comfort, convenience and enjoyment. ~ PORT PERRY HYDRO COMMISSION hour. Teachers chaperone in shifts. | Credit for organizing this project goes to the High School's student council, which has accepted respon- sibility for the work con- nected with the 1973 heart fund drive in this area. Students were out canvas- sing all last week. If you were not home when they called they will have left an envelope which you can use to mail your donation in. come and gone for Mrs. Bessie Fishley. She was entertained for the occasion by Mr. and Mrs. Rae Rahm of Saintfield. Mrs. Aileen McMillan, Mr.. Gordon McMillan and the Doug McMillan family had Sunday dinner with the Ron 'Wanamakers in Oshawa. The church session met last Tuesday for routine business such as naming committees and reviewing the church roll. Committees remain the same as for 1972 and only a few necessary changes were made in the roll. Members approved the change in S.S. services during July and August. A deputation from the Hi-C asked permission to have a "Fast-a-thon' in the church and that was granted. We suggest that mothers of the Hi-C group save up their left overs for supper on February 17. The teens will be really hungry by then as they commence their fasting at 6 p.m. on Friday, 16th and finish at 6 p.m. on Saturday. During the 24 hours they will (perhaps) neither eat nor sleep. Parents and friends on 4 hour shifts will act as chaperones. This isn't all just for fun as the Hi-C are looking for sponsors. How --much per hour are you willing to pay these fasters? There was nothing news- worthy about the Sunday services except that the other new S.S. sup. made his debut. While a bit on the shy side, Gordon Short made a good start. While the services were being held, some workmen were busily engaged in bricking Wm. Keen's new' house next door. council members expressed doubts that enough infor- 'mation would have been gathered by then to write a comprehensive brief. The resolution asks that the date be changed to March 31. 100 attend. liftle information. ' Input's executive gave reports on their findings in areas where regional gov- ernment has already been established, particularly their discoveries in Niagara where they interviewed al- most 30 local and regional officials. In essence the evidence in Niagar points to increased taxation: decline in ser- vices; © general increase in bureaucratic control of the regional administration which results in a loss of local control. Input also reported that they have been in com- munication with both Oppo- sition parties and that Lib- eral leader Robert Nixon and New Democratic Party leader Stephen Lewis both issued statements critical of the government's lack of consultation with the people prior to announcement of the present proposal. The Oppo- sition leaders also expressed the opinion that the Feb- -ruary 28 deadline set by the government should be ex- tended. Dialogue between Input and Durham MPP Alex Carruthers was also repor- ted. Mr. Carruthers has agreed to carry a brief from Input to Premier William Davis, Treasurer John White and other officials at Queen's Park. He has also agreed to try to set up a meeting between the Input executive and Treas- urer John White. ~ Following these reports the meeting was opened to a period of questions and answers from the floor, and it was at this point that it was discovered only four of those, present had had the oppor- tunity to read the proposal. Since the meeting Mr. Carruthers has been ap- proached by Input and he advises that several copies of the proposal were delive- red to Cartwright Township Hall where they can be obtained by interested mem- bers of the public.
