And the tea is still there, lapping away at the mutfiny and and damp leave: gravel earth!" All of which roseate verbiage is another way of saying that Mil- ton is still trudging through the sludgy aftermath of sewer instal lation HOPEFUL Arrival of construction equip- ment on No. 25 highway last week renewed flagging hopes that a new! surface might be laid on that very indifferent thoroughfare be- fore snow flies.

OPPOSITE POST OFFICE REGIMENTAL ROUNDUP By Major Art Kemp "B" Coy The Lorne Scots held their regular Tuesday nite parade at the Oakville Armoury, 10 Oct. 50, and the parade proved to be the most successful of the pre- sent training season both from an attendance point of view, and from the intake of recruits. The evening's training was high- lighted by a lecture from Lt. D. R. MacDonald covering the main points of Range Rules and Proced- ure, This was preparatory instruc- tlon for the forthcoming visit of "B" Coy to the Long Branch Ranges on Sunday, 15 Oct. 50. On this day of range work it has been arranged that every member of the Coy will be given the oppor: tunity to handle and fire the .303 rifle and Bren light machine gun. Support Coy, the Lorne Scots, held a very successful party on Friday last at Brampton. Several members of "B" Coy attended this dance and report that it will be a monthly occurrence in the future.

Since 1947 the population has increased by 323,000, over 70,000 new homes have been constructed, approximately 700 new industries have been established and the value of production has risen an estimated 1% billion dollars, 88,541 new rural consumers have been supplied with Hydro and the value of agri- cultural production has increased by some 400 million dollars . . . all of which called for power in greater quantities than at any previous time. BUT--in addition to this tremendous growth, the recent step-up in industrial activity due to defence rearmament contracts has brought ~ abouta sharp increase in the use of electricity. In the past few weeks the maximum primary demand in Southern Ontario has been as much as 400,000 horsepower (298,000 kilowatts) higher than a year ago - - an increase 5 times greater than the long term average rate of growth. For this reason your Hydro urges everyone to co-operate in the con- servation of electricity. atho™ AVOID WASTING ELECTRICITY atwotk f SSE
