Dear Sir: In this age of generosity and supposed care of human- ity, the Port Perry Hydro commission and its Parent Ontario Hydro can only be listed as low, low on the totem pole. I am a resident of Port Perry, a part owner of a medium sized Oshawa Com- pany and a very proud Can- adian. But thoroughly ash- amed of this Public owned utility for the following reason. On October 10, 1979, my "wife and I watched Port Perry Hydro turn off the power to. our neighbours home, for what reason is not important. What is import- ant is they have 3 small children. It was 5 p.m., supper time, no hot supper, it was 35 degrees and at this hour they had little time to re-act even if they could. I ask, as one of the fast awakening silent majority. 1. Hydro obviously knows there must be or could be children involved, why could they not have warned the proper authorities about what they were going to do, so the children could be looked after. 2. Why did Hydro not in- form the Mortgage holder of what they were doing, to prevent damage to the house. 3. I further ask the man when he saw all those kids toys in the driveway, why did he not refuse to shut off? Does he not have a conscience? I ask Hydro, after the billions you have wasted over the years if it is possible for Canadians to receive charity, or do we have to row down Lake Scugog in a boat to receive Canadian Rights. These people were looked after by caring neighbours and if members of your executive wish to drop by we will instruct you in the Art of Being a Canadian. Wayne Bryan Port Perry. Marina (From page 6) are boaters with no facilities aboard and I can see no objections, providing proper health regulations are enforced and overcrowding is prevented. I am sure that between reasonable people, condi- tions can be worked out, that both, the Ratepayers and the users of the marina can together maintain the beauty of the nature which they have come to enjoy in this location in years to come.
