THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1st, 1935 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U.S.A. Eastern Hydro Municipalities Organize E. Ontario Not Affected by Chats Falls Change From Belleville Ontario-Intelligencer Chats Falls development has nothing to do with the Eastern Ontario Hydro Division; any changes that may be made there will not affect power users and consumers of this district, promised T. Stewart Lyon, chairman of the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario and chief speaker at the largest Hydro convention of the Eastern Division, ev&i held in this city which was concluded at the city hall -Wednesday afternoon, July 2^th, 1935. The eastern district will not suffer in any way in connection with the Quebec contracts; Niagara district only is interested in this work, he pointed out. "To this end the Prime Minister of Ontario has authorized me to state that the rates for electrical energy supplied to the co-operating municipalities of the Eastern Ontario System by the Hydro Electric Power Commission of Ontario will not be increased as a result of any steps taken by the government and the Commission for the cancellation or modification of the contracts now in force between the commission--representing the Niagara system--and the power producing companies of the Province of Quebec," added Mr. Lyon. Eastern Ontario power rates were not greater than those of the Niagara District, maintained Mr. Lyon. Many of the municipalities in the Eastern District were in a very fortunate condition in this respect. Cheapest Power in World "Ontario users buy the cheapest power in the world." declared Mr. Lyon. "In Belleville here last year you paid $180,000.00 for electricity.

Tind'er priviilfegled children in' private homes. The Neighbourhood Workers Association, Toronto, vo" its appreciation of the splendid sponse to the appeals for aid. Over 350 applications on behalf of other children are, however, on file at this very moment, with more coming up each day from the District Welfare Workers. Sixty per cent of this 350 is made up of little boys ranging from 5 to 12 years of age. There is a little cripple boy of 11. He cannot play games even in the streets with other boys on account of a badly crippled arm. He is pale and thin. Who will give him two weeks of happiness in the country? There's a little girl, six years old, with dark hair and big blue eyes. Her mother has just returned from hospita1 and is still quite ill. There are tw> little brothers who have been taken care of by a kind hostess. The little girl was all packed ready to go. On the very day she was to leave her hostess fell ill and was unable to take her. If you have ever cried your-to sleep from bitter' disappoint-t, you 'know how this little tot feels. Who will change her tears to Then, too, beside the problem of the children, the Neighbourhood Workers Association has another difficulty to face. What is to become of young mothers, with little babies, if they are forced to remain in the scorching heat of the city day after day. If you feel you cannot accept the responsibility of housing a child, could you take a young mother with her baby and start them off on the highroad to health?

His experience disproves that. During the past few days, hard pressed for help, the resident has stopped by actual count twenty-four men with an offer of work at picking berries. The tempting wage of $1.50 per day, board and lodging included, has been offered. Not one of the twenty-lour men approached would take the job, he said.--Ontario-Intelligencer.
