The fence hoppers and Neighbours gathered at the home of Onlooker for a Surprise party on Thursday afternoon to help celebrate his birthday. Many humorous cards and weird gifts were received, among them an Alligator and some bon bons. The orange blossoms wer- en't so plentiful this year tho we managed to salvage a few. One of our fence hoppers was away on holidays and another took sick the night before. We sure missed you gals. Onlooker says he smokes two cans of tobacco a month and started a fresh one on his birthday. He says he is- only going to smoke 240 more and then walk down to Lake Ontario and throw his pipe away.

Life style ci energy dra It is citizens expectation of a life style that involves the mass use of energy that is to a major degree creating the energy crisis of today. When you begin to research the history of energy, you realize the wise decisions of provincial leaders have play ed major roles in the rapid industrialization of the pro- vince, and'in the provision of energy at very low rates compared with other provinc- es and the United States. In 1905 James Whitney was returned as Premier of Ont- ario, and chose Adam Beck as Minister without portfolio with special responsibility for el- ectrical energy. That same year saw the creation of the Ontario Hydro Commission under the chairmanship of Adam Beck, and in 1907 the establishment of Ontario hydro with electical power at cost. From an investment of $277 million in 1925 when Adam Beck died, the Ontario Hydro Development Program as announced a few days ago in the legislature, now involv- es a multi million public investment.

In Vancouver, he said the rate at which housing prices have been rising is "unacceptable" and "the situation is intoler- able - - not only for low- income people who are per- haps the hardest hit but for middle-income families as well." The minister has asked Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to pro- duce proposals to remedy some of the problems.
