Page Two NEW RATE SCHEDULE SUMMER COTTAGES ANNOUNCED BY ONTARIO HYDRO Summer cottage customers served by Ontario Hydro will receive notice this week of a new rate schedule to apply in 1960. In announcing the new schedule, Hydro Chairman James S. Duncan said that all summer cottage customers will be billed $22.22 this month for annual fixed charge for both two and three-wire services. For the two-thirds of summer cottage customers who have three-wire service, this amount is unchanged from previous years, but represents THE COLBORNE CHRONICLE, Thursday, April 27th, I960 $5.00 for customers with two-wire service. By taking advant-' age of the prompt payment discount the service charge can be reproduced to $20. Accounts for kilowatt-hours used by both two and three-wire service customers will be based on the following rates: 4.5 cents a kilowatt-hour for the first 225 kilowatt-hours used annually, 2.6 cents a kilowatt-hour for the next block of 675 kilowatt-hours, and 1.5 cents a kilowatt-hour for all additional electricity used. Under the new schedule, a minimum consumption charge of $22.22 will apply, subject to the 10 per cent prompt payment discount. Thus with the fixed service charge, and the new minimum consumption charge, all summer cottage customers will pay an annual minimum of $44.44, which can be reduced to $40 by applying the discount. This represents no increase in the cost of electricity for summer cottage customers with three-wire services who use more than 590 kilowatt-hours a year. Mr. Duncan said the changes - first since 1953 -- were a •esult of higher costs of providing service to summer cottages. Because these customers have a low kilowatt-hour consumption over a short season, he explained, revenues from summer cottages had been falling far short of the actual cost of providing service.

Name__ KNOW ONTARIO BETTER explore ONTARIO IT COULDN'T BE DONE After a thing has been done, everybody is ready to declare it easy. But before it has been done, it is called impossible. One reason why people fear to embark upon great enterprises that they see all the difficul-s at once. They know they could succeed in the initial tasks, but they shrink from to follow. Yet "a thing begun is half done." Moreover the surmounting of the first barrier gives strength and ingenuity for the harder ones beyond. Mountains viewed from a distance seem to be unscalable. But they can be climbed, and he way to begin is to take the first upward step. From that moment the mountains are less high. As Hannibal led his army across the foothills, then among the upper ranges, and finally over the Alps, or as Peary pushed farther and farther in-o the solitudes that encompass the North Pole, so can achieve any purpose whatsoever f you heed not the doubters, meet each problem as it arises, and keep ever with you the as-It Can Be Done. PARKING LIGHTS NOT | FOR DRIVING Besides being highly dangerous, it is illegal in most of Canada to drive a car on the highway with only parking lights on when visibility is restricted. The Canadian Highway Safety Council warns that provincial traffic regulations prohibit the operation of a vehicle which cannot be clearly seen at least 500 feet away. The Council urges all motorists to use headlights when driving after dusk or in blizzards, fog, sleet storms and heavy downpours of rain. "Anyone who drove the streets and roads during some of the winter storms," said the Council, "can recall the difficulty in seeing other vehicles. The ones showing only parking lights loomed up, most times as dark shapes before the lights could be seen, but the cars with headlights blazing could b e identified long before the vehicles themselves became vis- ible. Impaired visibility caused by insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, added to windows and windshields obscured by snow, sleet, fog or rain, produce a deadly combination in moving traffic. The more identification car can have at such times, the better chance the driver has of avoiding a crash." Ira G. Needles of Kitchener, chairman of the Council, stated, "Many of us who have driven cars for years remember when batteries could be run down easily and we formed the habit of not using bright lights lest we drain the battery. In modern cars, generator and battery capacities are so far ahead of the demands made on them by the vehicle's electrical system there is no economy in using parking lights for driving. In fact, doing so could result in the driver being charged with infraction of the law. The old economy should be discarded in the interest of visibility and increased protection." Somebody said that it couldn'i be done, But he with a chuckle replied That "maybe it couldn't" bul he would be one Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackier the thing That couldn't be done, and hi did it. Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'l never do that; At least no one ever has done it"; But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he'd begun it. With a lift of his chin and a bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quiddit, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn't be done, and he j did it. There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done, There are thousands to prophesy failure: There are thousands to point out to you one by one, The dangers that wait to assail you. But just buckle in with a bit of a grin, Just take off your coat and go to it; Just start to sing as you tackle the thing That "cannot be done," and you'll do it. -- EDGAR A.
