electrical progress originated from members of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association especially a former president of the association Col A A Kennedy when he headed the organization in Col Ken nedy who at that time became an Ontario Hydro Commissioner has championed the idea of a museum for several years He and others thought that there should be a wellorganized collection of artifacts to preserve the history of the industry and to make known the progress over the years so that students engineers and others might be more aware of the Interesting background of the electrical MAMMOTH OPERATION Moving the collection the original depot locale in the hydraulics building to the new quarters was a mammoth operation Sixty large flat- bottom tandem truck loads were required to transport the thousands of Hems from tlny- lamp bulbs to huge cum bersome old generators Ml the items in the collection had to be carefully item lied and packed in thousands of cartons and well marked and designated in their display groups The more fragile things such as the Arthur Lamp collection required special handling Mr Dietrich who has been of the museum collection since inception pointed out that there arc items in the collection from all over the world He said that virtually everything was donated by firms and individuals who were in terested in seeing these things preserved The lamp collection Is the finest In the world stated EXCELLENT LIBRARY Besides the various displays that are now being set up the museum collection boasts an excellent expanding library This library makes it possible to trace the history of electricity by means of original books and trade papers from the earliest days to the present Students and historians who are interested In electrical artifacts often take volumes and borrow these for a short period Over the years that the Hydro museum depot has been In operation a number of retired members of Ontario Hydro have worked diligently to bring collection to Its present restored state ready for display Among these are Reg Jones of Brampton a former distribution engineer who still comes in two or three days a week to research and catalogue the librarys Items There Is also a pensioner in Mlssissauga who has been with the museum since he retired Arthur of course was a veteran pensioner who came to the depot every day until he passed away four months ago These and other veterans of Hydro have taken a keen interest in the museum collection and have given it loving care in restoring many artifacts to their present state of excellence for display purposes Today the Hydro museum Is becoming the finest electrical display centre of its kind in the world thanks to Ihe dedicated help so many Ontario Hydro ns Ontario Hydro photo This

Plan Proposed To Nassagaweya Township Council Quite frankly want hunters in Town ship but us Invite them Township Mrs A MacArthur told Doug Howell an tension biologist with the Department of Lands and forests Howell accompanied by two lembcrs of the Sports- tens Association attended Councils regular meeting last week to explain the wildlife management program his department and the sports men hope to Initiate in Township Basically the program offers landowners the opportunity to allow hunters on Ihcir property to hunt and have up to one third of their property as a restriclcd zone BUFFER ZONES Mr Howell told council thi Department of Lands and Forest For the Lowest Prices on Quality Carpeting WALL TO WALL SPECIALISTS WITH GUARANTEED INSTALLATION Rugs Remnants and Short Rolls always priced FREE ESTIMATES AND DECORATING ADVICE BY SPECIALISTS Criterion CARPET WAREHOUSE 8777797 officers would patrol those areas that are under agreement He said the status of those who did not enter the agreement would not change He explained buffer zones would be established to provide ihe same safely and peace for those landowners not under agreement that had land abutting other land that was under agreement Howell explained Ihe program would be similar lo one now operating in Ancnstcr We have had very few complaints from there since we put the program in he said A CHOICE He lold council Ihe program simply gives the landowner the choice of having some of his land developed for wild game He said these violating a restricted tone would meet much penalties than they would at present The townships current bylaw allows hunting with the written permission of the landowner Howell Is asking that the town ship change the bylaw to read written permission or under agreement with the Minister of Lands and Forests He noted additional enforce ment could be carried out under the program and said at the GEORGETOWN Glass Mirror Street Aluminum Windows Glass Replaced Alio Screens 8778020 present time neither the or the department would enforce the townships bylaw CAN WITHDRAW He said a Zenith number would be available for landowners to phone and Immediately the man in the area would be notified He Id complaints of landowners under agreement would take precedence Agreements are signed for one year terms at first and the first is used as an introduction for the landowner After that longer terms are agreed upon and the landowner can withdraw at any time The department will provide assistance in land improvement for all forms of wildlife The assistance would come after the first year and In the form of labor and materials and would Im prove the aesthetic value of the land NOT WANTED While Deputy Reeve Don McMillan and councillors Jim Watson and J C Mc In tyre saw some merit in the plan Reeve MacArthur remained In op position to any change in the by law Our bylaw is successful We want hunters here and we havent had complaints since we passed the bylaw I dont see any real reason why we should change It she said Councillor Watson sold he saw merit In the plan but only If it Included parts of and Burlington so the heavy concentration wouldnt occur all in Nassagaweya Councillor Mclntyre envisaged better protection for landowners under the program than what currently exists A decision was deferred until a full council could bo available Councillor Art Gibson was absent
