Mr. Cott, who has served as chairman of the Police Committee for the past three years. has been saitisen and taxpayer in Weston for several years. In entering the race for council, he is not being sponsored by any, group or organi- zation and feels that he can con- tribute to the well-being of the) town through his business expert- ence. During the past year em- phasis have been placed more strongly on the co-operation by the force with the public in every phase of police duties. In co- operation with 'the Weston Board of Education, teaching staffs and the local Lions club a safety cam- paign wss started, in an effort to educate the town generally and children particularly in the need for caution and safety. In con- junction with the ssfety drive, the police have engaged the usistance of senior public school students to act as guards at crossing inter- sections. and signs are being erect- ed in school erase advising motor- ists to use caution when approach- ing crossings. In the coming year it is planned to develop still fur- ther, where possible, the use of school crossing guards to further protect the children.

Praise New Senior Public School A week ago today, the Ontario Hydro increased the quota of all municipalities by 21/2% and the following day, Friday, they Illowed another 2%% on the quota of all municipalities. This was the direct result of recent heavy rainfalls in the Ottawa valley and in other regions where power plants are located. On that same day, the local commission undertook to eliminate the 9.30 to 10.30 p.m. bltutk-out on a trial basis, but in {spite of an increased qvota of 5% jtha town still went somewhat over ithe quota. Effective last Monday, Nov. 29, three of the power interruptions in Weston ore to be eliminated on I. trial basis. The reason for the elimination of these cut-offs lay in the increased quota allowed by the HEPC to the town of Weston which became totally effective on Monday. Mr. Coulter, power co- ordinator, stressed the fact, how- ever, ,that the townspeople must save and sacrifice as much or more power in the home if the present schedule of one cut-off from-940 in the morning is to keep the town under the new quota.

The commission stresses the Net, however, that without the continued effort at power saving by the consumers, one or more of the eliminated black-out periods will hive to be brought beck into tome. the work of the local eomnu%sion. The Public Utilities Commission of Weston approached the Ontario Hydro Commission for some con- sideration in the town's quota because of Weston's heavy electric range load and the extensive amount of flat rate water heaters in the area. The petition was given favourable consideration by the Ontario Hydro to a. marginal extent. As stated in this newspaper lust week, however, one of the power interruptions can still be eliminated by the voluntary efforts of every consumer. and this would mean no interruption periods for Weston. “in w; m Mof.fat, and Mrs. on, Indy members Board of Education, ts were Mrs. T. rt, Memgrial H and -Aymthuted on pan " an of the tion.
