He said, "1973 was a year of significant achievement and change for Ontario Hydro." One of these changes, he said;' was the new approach to Hydro's marketing program. Advertising budgets were re- duced and emphasis was placed on the wise and efficient use of electrical energy. But, even a successful programn of voluntary conser- vation does not necessarily mean a curtailed need 'to expand electrical capacity. "As fossil-fuel reserves dimninish, electricity, supplied miainly by nulear stations, seemis destined to provide a growing share of total energy demnands.

Holds off approval for waste site A certificate of approval for a proposed priva tely-opera ted waste disposal, site at the south end of the old Township of Cartwright is not being issued "at this time," the applicant has been advised. Oshawa lawyer, Ronald Worboy, who headed a com- mittee of area residents in opposition to the application, announced that Dennis Cap- Mayor's severance g oes before council Members of the region's planning and development committee were s0 intent on protectîng the rights of New- castle Maynr Garnet Rickard, last Tuesday, that they began fighting among themselves over metbods." Mr. Riekard had obtained approval fromi the land aivis- ion committee to sever 6 acres from bis 495 acre farm in the former Darlington township. At -its previous meeting- the planning and development committee de- cided to appeal the approval before the Ontario Municipal Board on the grounds it contravenes regional land use policy. Mayor Rickard appeared personally* before the com- mittee Tuesday, and in his presenc e the decision was reversed. He will be allowed thie severance unless council objects. Coun. Alex Robertson (Pick ering) agreed that special- circumstance exist in this case and the property ownier deserves a severance. How- ever, 'he did not wanit the decision to be mnade by dt committe. "I want it to go, to council," be said. Coun. Robertson said if tbey decision was taken by' the committee on its own, the decision migbt be misunder- Published by the Ni stood. "We are going to be accused of showing favoritism becau- se the owner is a member of council," be predicted. He claimed that if the question was debated in open council and Mayor Rickard's agruments were put there, the severance would be granted anyway, but the air would be. eleared. "I don't want to be........ accused of favoring anyone,"........ he said. POLITICS Coun. Keith Ross (Oshawa) tbougbt Coun. Robertson was arguing for discrimination against the application just on the grounds it came from a politician. "If anyone bas a rigid mind it is because he bas a rigid brain," charged Coun. Ross. "If there are any rigid brains on this committee, they belong to, the people fromn Oshawa," eountered Coun. Robertson. .
