TS EN 14 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, February 5, 1960 Contribution Of Electricity February 7th to 13th is National Electrical Week, marking the 113th anniversary of Thomas Fdison's birth, Edison brought electricity out of the laboratory and into practical use for the benefit of all mankind. He work- iringly to develop the first p ical electric light bulb, and with it, the equipment needed to bring it into our homes. Edison founded an industry that has be- come one of the nation's largest and most vital . .. an industry that has put the magic of elec- tricity to work in a thousand ways that contribute to the strength and prosperity of the nation. An industry that switch. It brings you entertain- ment, cooks your food, does your| washing and in so many ways| makes your life easier and more| enjoyable, Have you ever thought just how inexpensive all these| electrical servants are? The! average - size living room can be vacuumed for about half al cent. With the flick of a switch, electricity does a week's wash! for the average family for less than a nickel. National Electrical Week has been officially declared by many of our premiers and mayors -- a/ salute to the 200,000 skilled Cana-| dians of the electrical industry whose products and services are Symbol Marks [Electric Power High Standard The conception of a Medallion in either Gold or Bronze to indi-| cate a house which has been built and equipped to meet a high standard of electrical excellence has eaught on in Ontario with amazing results during the past year. The Bronze Medallion is the next step above the well known Red Seal Standard of Wiring of the Electrical Service League of Ontario and indicates .a house which, in addition to an adequate wiring installation, has had pro- vision built in for extra ap- pliances and advanced lighting. The Gold Medallion, known as the "Mark of Electrical Excel- lence" indicates a house which is completely electrical with the exception of the heating system. €On- | designed to serve the highly spe-|It is fully expected that in view tinues to play an increasing part|cialized needs of our growinglof the wonderful acceptance by in Canada's developmest -- pro- viding equipment for four-fifths work in manufacturing for wle.

Hi Ld and h k LL] in this most densely populated of all the provinces, will be offered an increasing number and var- ety of time-saving, work-elimin- ating electric appliances and equipment. In addition, home im- provements such as ultrasoric lighting, mural television, panel lights, electrostatic dusting wands, and ultra-modern heating and cooling systems will prob- ably be in general use. FLIP A SWITCH Before the Centennial of Can- ada as a Dominion in 1967, it may be possible for the man of the house to discard that instru- rogress memory or brain may be avail-| able to housewives to retain and give information on menus and| recipes, CARD FOR HOUSEWIFE By pressing the appropriate button, the housewife will get a punched card with instructions stamped on it. She will insert this card in the slot of her multi- storage cupboard and all the necessary ingredients will be automatically measured out. An electric mixer will then take over, and finally, the card will instruct the oven on the cooking procedure. There will be extensive use of wide array of new appliances, important developments will be taking place in the suprly of power to the people of Ontario. STEADY EXPANSION With the urban development of | Ontario, the municipal electrical | utilities associated with Ontario] Hydro in the distribution of elec- tricity, will maintain a steady expansion of residential and in- dustrial services. In mid-1961, Canada's first nu- clear-electric power will flow into Hydro's Southern Ontario trans- mission network. This power will be indistinguishable from energy produced by presently con- ventional means, but it will be symbolic of the quiet revolution in power production in the '60s. In late 1964 or early 1965, the first full-scale nuclear power sta- tion will be in operation in On- tario. Uranium, a mineral in which home freezers and irradiated foods, capable of being stored for several years. Fly swatters will be "collected as antiques, as homes, commerce, and industry, (especially large dairies), will use electric fly-traps. Electric toilet systems will eliminate sew- the province is rich, will be used as a fuel to an increasing degree as nuclear energy begins to play an important part in Hydro's generating pattern. New hydraulic developments will help to meet some of the power requirements of the '60s, ects will be the innovation of the extra - high - voltage transmis- sion of power from many of the province's more remote sites. To carry the output from these iso- lated sites (it is estimated that 2,000,000 kilowatts of hydraulic power is still undeveloped), Hydro is planning an EHV net- work in Northeastern Ontario, which will transmit power at 460,000 volts -- double the pres- ent highest voltage used in On- tario. The coming decade will bring many changes, but the aims of both Ontario Hydro and local electrical utilities will remain the same: to provide a constant and abundant supply of electric power to the homes, farms, and factories of Ontario. | | Service League Aids Consumers and side by side with such proj-| The Electric Service League of Ontario is a non profit, education- al organization created by the electrical industry as a whole for the sole purpose of assisting the people of the province to enjoy the benefits of electrical living through the use of the many won- derful electrical labor saving de- vices which are available to them and to raise still further the already high standard of living existing in Ontario. The approach to this objective is made through the home. Act- ing upon the realization that the achievement of this objective rests upon the adequacy of the electric wiring installation, the League has in almost 40 years |concentrated upon improving the public awareness of the desir ability and necessity of improved house wiring and to convince the builder that the house which he builds will, if properly wired, have greater appeal to his cus- tomers and will permit the use of modern appliances without costly revisions to the installation, RED SEAL To enable the general public to recognize a home which is ade. quately wired, a standard of wir- ing is maintained and is identi- fied by a 10-point Red Seal bear- ing the words "Red Seal Stan- dard of Wiring."
