An Ontario Hydro report Sws total energy consump- ton of 7,944,175,463 kilowatt- hours during the month, up only 3.3 per cent from January 1974. Peak electrical demand was OBITUARY MRS. CARLTON PAYNE Eva, wife of the late Carlton Payne died in Port Hope hospital on February 11, .1975. She was born in Clarke township on June 28, 1894, daughter of the late Will Meadows and his wife Sarah Bean, and attended school in Port Granby., In 1917 she married Carlton Payne and all of her life, until retiring to their home in Port Hope in the 1950's, was spent on the farm where she was born. That life was bound up with the community of Wesleyville where her great grandfather settled in 1831. She shared in all the activities of the church there, first Methodist, later United, as organist, in the Sunday School and women's groups, and attended the United Church in Port H e while there. She served or some years as a member of the PortGranby school board as trustee. After Mr. Payne's death, ill health made nursing home care a necessity and she remained at the Marshall Home till entering hospital. Her funeral was held from the Ross funeral chapel on 13,909,365 kilowatts. This came at 5:35 p.m. Monday, January 20. More than 37 per cent of electricity was produced by water power, 29.9 per cent, coal, 12.4 per cent, nuclear, 3.9 per cent, gas , and 16.2 per cent, purchases. The Ontario Hydro systêm functioned smoothly during the month. None of its major February 14th and was con- ducted by the Rev. Jas. Burn. Pall bearers were: Arthur and Cecil Payne, Ken Dinner, Arnold Thorndyke, Harold Best and Allan Peters. Interment later in Port Hope union cemetery. She is survived by three children, Murray who re- mained at the home farm, Howard, farming nearby, and Ruth, Mrs. Keith Caswell, Port Hope; fourteen grand- children; Garfield, Jennifer, Rodney, Lance, and Shelley; Sandra, Patti, Margo, Nancy, Julie and Jeffrey Payne; Lee, Lynn and Robb Caswell. For Mrs. Payne, death came after a long illness but she will be sadly missed as an ever loving mother and grand- mother, and her memory treasured by many friends. Beautiful flowers and gifts to the church she loved, were fittin memorials to one who was nown as a comforting friend in time of a neighbour's need.

Station capability compares the rate at which a plant produced power over a given period of time with that which it could have produced if operating at its maximum. Capability factors show J.C. Keith, Lambton and Thunder Bay generating stations all were available more than 94 per cent of time during January. Other percentages for ma- jor thermal and nuclear units: Lakeview, 81.7; R.L. Hearn, 74.1; Nanticoke, 65.4 and Pickering 63.3. Figures for Pickering and Nanticoke remain lower than normal while repairs continue on major units out of service since last summer. Pickering 3, out of operation since August due to pressure tube leaks, is expected to again produce electricity by early spring and unit 2 at Nanticoke, damaged last summer by fire, should be back on line late this year. Preventative maintenance, normal seasonal problems and minor repairs accounted for most of the lost operating time at other stations. Letter to Editor Dear Editor: An estimated 406 million men, women and children face starvation in Asia, Africa and Latin America. World-wide crop failures and inflation have been severe and for teeming multitudes in 33 countries the search for "something to eat" is a search for life itself. I appeal to your readers to save the lives of some of these people by a simple, meaning- ful act: Skip one meal a week, or serve smaller portions or less expensive foods, and send money saved to CARE's emergency "EMPTY PLATE" campaign. "Empty plates" here will fill the empty plates of many starving fami- ies overseas. Such contribu- tions will enable our experi- enced 'staffs to feed many more than they are already feeding in some of the hardest bit areas. We will also be able to send more seeds, tools and fertilizer so hungry people can grow the food they desperate- y need. I hope many of your readers will be moved to make this crucial weekly act of self- denial and compassion. I hope, too, that service clubs and other local organiza- tions will distribute "I CARE EMPTY PLATE" pledge-and- contribution envelopes in your area. These may be obtained and donations may be mailed to CARE WORLD HUNGER FUND, Dept 4, 63 Sparks Street Ottawa Ontario K1P 5A6. Thousands overseas are dying of starvation every day, Time is of the essence.
