From DeCew Falls These customers along with others in areas of Welland and Hamilton, Hydro Chairman Rob- ert H. Saunders pointed out, are the only users in the 12,000 sq. miles of Southern Ontario's "25- cycle island" whose present fre- duency of 662-3 cycle has to be reduced to the new cycle. This 662-3 power Is supplied by the original DeCew Falls plant near St. Catharines, built in 1898, and known as the "Cradle of the Canadian Hydro-Electric Indus- try." Some 500 customers are served by the Trafalgar Township Public Utilities Commission, and 2,300 by the Oakville Public Utilities Com- mission. Off Two Hours During the cutover on Sunday, May 27, the chairman stated, the power will be off for approxi- mately two hours, due to neces- sary line work preceding the changeover. The reduction to 60-cycle fre- quency is not expected to neces- sitate. any major equipment ad- ustments except in the case of industrial customers. Few Adjustments Mr. Saunders said most of the electrical appliances and equip- ment in the areas were originally designed for operation on 60-cycle frequency, and would operate as designed on that current. In few cases, minor adjustments may be required for oil burners, stokers, fluorescent lights, record players, chronotherms (automatic thermostats), stove timers, and clocks. Inventory work is now going on in the areas for the purpose of listing these items. A mobile clock depot where small clocks can be either stand- ardized or exchanged for new models will be located in each district for three days. The Hydro Chairman stated that equipment of customers in adjacent sections of these areas, on 25-cycle operation, would not be changed over for 60-cycle op- eration until a later date.

Later Moves On August 3 of this year, some 900 customers in Hamilton and five in the Welland-Port Colborne area, also using 662-3 cycle pow- er, would have their equipment changed over for 60-cycle opera- tion, Mr. Saunders revealed. _ According to present plans, the Chairman said, the equipment standardization of the domestic Hydro customers in Hamilton now receiving 25-cycle power, would not get under way until 1954. Referring to the 6623 cycle customers, Mr. Saunders stated that they would receive some of their new 60-cycle uower from the glant Des Joachims generat- ing station on the Ottawa River. He said the old DeCew plant, present source of power for the 662-3 users, was being altered to produce 60-cycle power, and would eventually be tied in with the Hydro's main power system, fed by all the new 60-cycle plants, including Des Joachims. Indicative of the great strides being made by Hydro, the Chair- man declared, was the fact that power would now be. carried to the Hamilton area by transmis- sion lines nearly seven times as long as the original 'DeCew line built in 1898. At that time the DeCew line was the longest in the Dominion, extending over a distance of 35 miles to Hamilton. BY IRVEN FELL Music is used for nearly ev- erything under the sun and it latest use, according to an article in the May publication of Etude, is to combat juvenile delinquency as well as traffic hazards. This story has to do with per- haps the largest police force in the world, "New York's Finest" and to quote the article, its Glee Club sings to prevent fic ac- cidents, to welcome visiting dig- nitaries and "just for the fun of singing. - Officers from the force visit the schools, entertaining with songs and driving home their safety message with special jingles. Says Rose Heylbut, who wrote the article, "The children are rapturous, the results are im- Dressive and the school author- ities send in urgent requests for more vocalizing." The Police Department Glee Olub of 39 members provides the singers for these school visits. 1 don't know why there are 39 mem- bers instead of an even number, say The Club has been in existence for nearly 40 years and the aver- age length of service of its mem- bers is 15 years. People sometimes ask if the choristers are stand-ins dressed up for the occasion but the De- partment denies this; nor, says the department are they men who because of their musical ability. are just detailed for special work They are honest-to-goodnes pave- ment pounding and traffic signal- ing cops who like to sing and are willing to put in time rehearsing. Incidentally, rehearsing time is extra-curricular and Is looked on as a hobby. There are nine rehearsals a month, and the biggest problem is to fit in the rehearsal time with the time schedule of the men. Public performances are chiefly departmental charity functions such as veterans' hospitals, the Policemen's Benevolent Associa- tion, church services of all de- nominations and creeds, and the policemen sing over the City Hall radio once a month. The Glee Club sings in English, Latin and Hebrew, following exactly the prescribed services of the Protest ant, Roman Catholic and Jewish faiths. Its religious repertoire in- cludes Requem Masses, High Episcopal services and Hebrew memorial liturgies, Its secular repertoire includes classical, op- eratic and popular songs, sung in English. A year ago this Police- men's Glee Club gave a recital in Town Hall, New York City, at a benefit concert on the oc- casfon of the 100th anniversary of St. Vincent's Hospital. The guest solofst was Eileen Farrell, one of the world's top vocalists. There is no accounting for a man's tastes or action, as will be realized from the fact that the leader of this Glee Club is Sgt Edward T. Dillen, a professional planist turned policeman. He is also an organist, and the only organist on the police force. He is assisted by two others, one who teaches classical music and the other who arranges and in- structs popular music. They are all policemen. Sgt. Dillen gives a quote in the article in which he says, "I be- lieve it would be a good thing if policemen In other communities both large and small investigated the 'merits of choral singing, both as a hobby and as a means of livening up civic welfare pro- grammes, like traffic safety work and juvenile delinquency." He ends by saying that there are difficulties, one of them be- ing that when an officer stops a driver for doing 50 in the city or town and he is just ready to hand out ticket, the culprit looks. up at the officer and tells him how much he enjoyed his sing- ings last week, "well it can be an awkward moment." So, folks, you can never tell what is liable to happen.
