To begin with we would never consider a rate increase, no matter how small, unless there's no other way to operate efficiently and still provide you with first class service. But like all other business today, we're faced with a situation of rising costs outside our control. The past few years have brought a large increase in the price of the many manufactured items and raw materials we purchase to keep your service at the highest level. We're vitally concerned about costs.

But our present rate increase - albeit a small one - has been forced upon us now by prevailing economic pressures. We don't like announcing a new rate any more than you like reading about it, but now we must. And despite the increase our average customer will still only be paying 41 cents a day and we believe that this still makes electricity on of the biggest bargains budget. in the family July NEW NET MONTHLY RATES FOR GENERAL SERVICE CUSTOMERS Effective on all bills issued on or after 1, 1973 Kilowatthour (KWH) Consumption.

A spur of the moment idea such as that is a luxury very few parents with a handicapped child can indulge in. For parents with a different child, baby- sitting becomes somewhat of a major production. What, -then, do parents do about baby sitters if they have a handicapped child? Many call on relatives who have become familiar with the child's handicap. Where there are older brothers or sisters in the family, they are able to manage for a few hours. However, many simple do not go out at all because relatives are not nearby and other children are not old enough to baby sit. Some parents have tried baby sitters with unhappy results. For this reason the Cerebral Palsy Association and the Association for the Mentally Retarded asked the Ontario County TB and Respiratory Disease Association to assist and sponsor a special course for young people on baby sitting with handicapped children - crippled, retarded or suffering from celebral palsy Invitations were extended to graduates of the basic Baby Sitter's Training Courses that have been sponsored by the TB-RD Association since 1960. The age set for the special course was 15 and over. The first lecture explained various handicaps, cerebral palsy, spina bifida and mental retardation and outlined routines for meals, toilet training, play activities, communication and general care of all handicapped children. Various types of crutches and braces were shown and their uses were explained. The second lecture was highlighted by the presence of 6 year old Scott, a child with spinal bifida and Chester, - a celebral palsied child, an occupational and speech therapist as well as a- physiotherapist. Together this group managed to demonstrate to the class that through therapy, love and encouragement, handicapped children can be happy children. Lecture three was on the mentally retarded child. Most of these children need to be treated much the same as any6 other child. The hyperactive retarded child would need his energy channeled into an educational type of game. The very placid child needs to have his interest in activities stimulated. Since seizures are common in most retarded children, first aid for seizures was explained. six parents of handicapped children who exchanged their thoughts on baby- sitting their special child with the students. Parents stressed a relaxed, calm attitude is transferred easily to these sensitive children and they also felt that a visit to the home prior to the baby sitting event was essential for a muttually happy baby sitting date later on. A special graduation day was held for these special baby sitters at which a the Respiratoyy Disease Association [ presented the students with their graduation certificates. Four prizes, were also awarded, tw for the studént obtaining the highest marks for their project work book. As well as providing competent, responsible baby sitters for parents with a handicapped child, the course has given the students a greater insight into careers available to them in areas associated with the total care, education, health and happiness of the handicapped child Obituary James Ormiston Stark An employee of General Motors for 31 years, James Ormiston Stark died sud- denly at the Oshawa Gen- eral Hospital, Monday, June 4, 1973.
