Hobbs of Bowmanville P.U.C. were among over 1,300 delegates representing electric utility comissions from across the province at the Annual Meet- ing of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association (0.M.E.A.. The Association is the spokesman for more than 340 municipal utilities throughout Ontario, the commissioners and councillors of which were elected to operate a specializ- ed municipal service and thus represent more than two million residential, com- mercial and industrial customers served by the municipal distribution systems, and who consume two-thirds of the electric power in Ontario Delegates to the two day Annual Meeting, held at the Royal York Hotel, March lst and 2nd, were involved in discussion on a number of significant issues that affect their consumers, ranging from costing and pricing to the use and conservation of electricity in Ontario. Program speakers included the Hon. D. R. Timbrell, Minister of Energy for Ontar- io, and R. B. Taylor, Chair- man of the Board of Ontario Hydro. General Chairman of the Annual Meeting was Alan B. Cousins of Wallaceburg, Ontario, retiring President of O.M.E.A. Addressing the delegates, Mr. Cousins paid tribute to committee members and directors who had made n admirable and dedicated contribution during one of the most active years in the Association's history. "The 55 day hearing of the Ontario Energy Board into Ontario Hydro's bulk power rates for 1976 was precedent setting, demanding and costly.....further intensified by the subseauent appointment and hearings of the Select Committee of the Legislature on Hydro rates", said Mr. Cousins, "not to mention the Royal Commission on Electrie Power Planning and the many other interfaces that now demand attention". Advocating a higher profiles in future hearings of the Ontario Energy Board and all other Boards, commissions and committees of enquiry, Mr. Cousins charged the delegates to, "..continually see to the need of, keeping the consumers of electricity and our local councils knowledge- able about electrical energy, its costs, the demands, and the continuing efforts being made to ensure a continuous supply of energy to meet the needs of the people of Ontario". The Annual Meeting was held in conjunction with that of the Association of Munici- pal Electrical Utilities (in Ontario) (AMEU).

A considerable amount of interest was shown by former Orono Orphans in the old sweaters, trophies and photos that had been resurrected for the occasion. An idea that had its origin following a recent Orono Figure Skating Club reunion brought nearly 70 former members of the Drono Or- phans 'family' group together on Saturday night at the Odd Fellows Hall in Orono. In addition, more than 25 guests were present to join in the memorable occasion. The event began with a social hour when memories of the two Ontario champion- ships were recalled by the former hockey players who came from many parts of Canada to renew friendships. The small group that pro- moted the reunion included ex-Coach Dane Found, Bill Armstrong, Chuck Armstrong and Ray Lunn. The most difficult task they had was to find addresses for players who have long since left the area, and send invitations to them to attend. Amazingly enough, of the Junior D Ontario Champs of 1948-49 and the Intermed- iate C Champs of 1959-60, only six members were not pre- sent, five of them because they have died. -Following the dinner, served by Tony's, represented by Rockie Esposito, a former Orono Orphan, a film was shown that had been taken by the late Bibi Armstrong of the The hard-working committee that made it all possible included, from left to the years.

Sr. Citizens Place, they were asked to sing in Miami, Florida, at the Lions International Convention in 973. In 1974, the County Town Singers were asked to tour Europe, which took them to Austria, Germany, Switzer- land and Italy, with many performances in sold-out con- cert halls in Austria and West Germany. They also appeared on West German and on Austrian National Television and are often heard on Europeanpradio stations. Their performance was praised by European cities for their flexibility to sing modern music as wen as classics witn equal ease. Canadian and Euronean Dress have called them, "The Singing Ambassa- dors", The County Town Singers have also produced two long play records entitled "The County Town Singers sing for People" and "The Sounds of the County Town Singers". The regular director, James Ashley, was unable to be present but was ably replaced by Doris Beaton, whose dy- namic leadership brought forth a superb performance. She was capably assisted by the pianist, Margaret Webber. The audience sat enthralled as the music from about 70 voices flowed around them pouring forth some.amiliar selections as well as some that were new. Mr. Schatzman is manager for this excellent group and Mr. Ian Forbes announced the following numbers: 1. "Consi- der Yourself at Home" which set the mood for the rest of the evening; 2. Bridge Over Troubled Water; 3. Edel- weiss; 4. Heidschi Bum Beid- schi; 5. Black and White; 6. The Hands of Time. Next came a period of relaxation in the form of a sing song of familiar songs with audience participation. The last part of the program opened with a fine rendition of "Bless This House" followed by "The Lord's Prayer" and "Canada, Our Heritagè", clos- ingwith "Let the Sun Shine In". Mrs. Margaret Jeffrey thanked the group in a few Well-chosen words for the great pleasure they had brought to everyone present. Following this, sandwiches, cookies, coffee and tea were served. Then another sing song by all rounded out a most enjoyable evening, with the promise of another visit by "The County Town Singers" at a future date.
