History Of Orono Hydro Nestled near hills and a refor- estation area, the picturesque po- lice village of Oronq has been growing steadily in the past dec- ade. And the Orono Hydro system bas been up-dated to keep pace with the community's develop- ment. This was revealed by Hy- dro Manager Mel W. Downs, who proudly points to the modern street lightinge in the village. This year, the last section of a new street lighting program was completed when 16 new mer- cury vapor lights were installed, bringing th - total up to 86 units. "Orne is now eue of the best ilahted ill m lunOntario," Mr. Dons said. He stated tot w- hen the Orono Rd;o system was establishd in Decerber 1933 it was ooerated by Bowmam-vue Publie Utilities Commission anrd J R Richards was the local representative. HoIwever, when Mr. Richards re- signed in 1945, he was succeeded by Ernest Dent and a year later the local hydro business was be- ing conducted from the office be- hind the armory in Orono. In 1950, Mr. Dent was hired on a full-time basis. At that time the community's primary voltage was increased to 8,200 volts and con- nected to a sub station on the boundary between Clarke and Itarlington Township. In June 1967, Mr. Dent retired and his duties were taken over by Mr. Downs. Orono has, been receiving el- ectric power since 1911 when a franchise was granted 'to Sey- mour Power Co. Electrie power was provided by a 2,200 volt rmimary, single phase system. Five years later Ontario Hydro took over Seymour Power Co., and the Commission installed a three-phase 4,400 volt primary system for Orono. Lnad has Soared When Orono Hydro system came into being in 1938, there were some 200 customers and the load was about 50 kilowatts. Now the number of customers has doubled to 400. But the load bas soared to 1,050 kilowatts, some 21 times greater than 30 years ago. Mr. Downs said that much cf the spectacular growth is because cf the increased use cf electmic- ity le the homes. For -example, le the village there are now 32 all-electric homes, two commerc- ial bdildings and an apamtment building that are electrically heated. Orono, like most cemmueities in this province, is starting te expand as persons who work i nearby Bowmanville and Oshawa find this pleasant, quiet village is an ideal place in which to re- side and bring up their families. The village Board of Trustees, who direct the affairs of the growing Orono Hydro system, aru Floyd Nicholson, chairman and D. ,M. Simpson and E. R. Woodyard, trustees.

Phone 983-5682 COHOES AND RAINBOWS- CAN BE CONFUSED A coho salmon was recently captured in the Canadian waters off eastern Lake Ontario. This was the first verified recapture on the Ontario side from the ex- perimental planting of 25,000 yearling cohoes made by the New York State Conservation Dept. last spring. In the early stages of this work at least, New York State fishery workers are anxious to ex- amine as many of these fish as possible and would like at least to record the total catch. Specimens may be turned in or reported to your local Con- servation Officer, or transmitted to the Glenora Fisheries Station of the Department of Lands and Forests at Picton. Coho salmon may be confused with rainbow trout, which appear to be particularly abundant in Lake Ontario this year. Rainbows are very silvery and salmon-like during their time in the lake wat- ers. Pacific salmon in general have, anp fins (the single fin on the belly near the tail) which are longer along the base than. is the case with the trout. Trout us- ually have fewer than 12" rays in this fin, while the salmon gen- erally have more. Rainbow trout have a spotted tail with a shallow notch, while the salmon have few spots and deeply notched. The tail -base is also noticeably thick- er in rainbow trout.
