This matter is now under close study." Describing the changeover proâ€" cedure that will be followed in the township for domestic and comâ€" mercial customéers, Mr. Saunders said that in the morning of "cut" day, Hydro technicians call at homes and other premises to enâ€" sure that all frequencyâ€"sensitive w‘lhilMOI are disconnected. en, at 10:00 a.m., the 25â€"cycle power is cut off, and within a few minutes of that time, new 60â€"cycle power is flowing through the lines in the changeover area. The final step consists of the actual work of altering eustomers‘ wnl\ln{ machines, refrigerators, and other mppliances, Motors and parts, which have been carefully Again referring to the scope of the North York 60â€"cycle switch, Mr. Saunders said it is estimated that Hydro crews must alter 25,â€" 000 washing machines, 16,800 reâ€" frigerators, and 11,200 record players, as well as some 25,000 clocks and fans and many more thousands of other items in comâ€" mercial premises and industrial plants. In addition, the changeover proâ€" gram must take into consideration the work that will be required to convert 25â€"cycle equipment owned by many of the customers expectâ€" ed to move into the township during the 10â€"month changeover period. Two Sections Completed In these sections, equipment was altered for 2,076 customers of all classes. The Albion Park district received advance standardization, for technical and economic reasons, in conjunction with the switch in Etobicoke township. The delivery of 60 cycle power to enmble the eairly opération of a new $750,000 incinerator at Ingram Drive just off Keele Street, ‘serving both North York and York Township residents, necessitated the changeâ€" over of equipment of a small numâ€" ber of domestic customers in the vicinity of the big disposal plant. Changeover Procedure tagged and stored for each cusâ€" tomer‘s equipment, are fitted by Hydro changeover technicians, and the appliances are then ready to 10 Month Operation Two small areas of the township have already been switched over to the higher frequency, the Alâ€" bion Park section, and a smaller section in the vicinity of Ingram Drive and Keele Street. FAIRHAVEN Village â€" BURGESS Corners Oakdale Acres By Marj. Grieve 35 Haymarket Rd. at the higherâ€"frequency Mill then the bridal party have refreshments in the lantern room. The organist is to be Mr. Corbett from Brampton. This is to be the first wedding performed in St. Anâ€" drew‘s Presbyterian Church. Many members of this communâ€" ity enjoyed the dedication service which took place in St. Andrew‘s Presbyterian Churech on Sunday, June 8. It was right at Burgess Corners in the home of Miss Jessie Masters that this church had its beginning and as it grew many members of this district topk a very active interest. % Pat Conwayâ€"CH. 1â€"5005 We very much regret the abâ€" sence of our column the past two weeks, and again must plead presâ€" sure of business, plus a seasonal dearth of community news. When the various organizations in the area close down for the summer it is difficult to gather news of general interest. We would however be remiss if we did not draw attention to two very important events that took place in our community this weekâ€" end. Firstly, the formal dedicaâ€" tion of St. Andrew‘s Presbyterian Church, Humber Heights, on Sunâ€" day afternoon, June 8th, We have previously made reference to the efforts of this hardworking group, and it is fitting to say that the results are a credit to their faith and perseverence. We sincerely welcome this important addition to the community, and wish the members continued success in all their ventures. Secondly, in the same vein, speâ€" cial services celebrating the 124th anniversary of the church were held this Sunday at St. Philip‘s onâ€"theâ€"Hill. The original frame building built in 1828 was destroyâ€" ed by fire in 1888, all that was saved was the organ, which, desâ€" pite its venerable years, we unâ€" derstand still gives good service today. The present structure was built in 1894, and a more beautiâ€" ful setting for a House of Worship could hardly be found. The conâ€" tinued growth of the community and consequently the congregaâ€" tion, has made it necessary for members of St.â€"Philip‘s to consider ways and means of enlarging the Church. In â€" congratulating . St. Phillips on attaining such a ripe old age, we append the wish that the addition may soon be achieved and that the church may continue for many more years to minister to the needs of this growing comâ€" munity. Now that all the officers and members of the Property Owners‘ Association have taken a breathing spell, and are busy with their garâ€" dens, and various jobs that pop up from nowhere, we are a little out of touch with a few items with which we were involved a few short months ago. To list a few, Postal Delivery, Sewers, cangidates for next year‘s Board of Education, and a local resident to sit on the Etobicoke Parks Board. So much has been written about Postal Deâ€" livery that we hesitate to mention the subject, as we have no doubt that to many people who have striven, so far vainly, to bring this about, it must be like waving a red flag before a bull. The writer will make a point of getting in touch with those in charge of this venture, and will make a report in this columnâ€" next week. We will also attempt to bring you up to date on the other subjects men‘ tioned above. Continued from page 5â€" was very sociable, the large table was set with cookies, sandwiches, then tea and coffee were brought in. Many thanks to Mrs. Fox and her helpers for the lovely refreshâ€" ments. Monday, June 9th, the Pine Ridge Presbyterian Sunday School held their first picnic and what a lovely day, the weatherman was very kind. Dr. Ross asked on Sunâ€" day evening that every one bring an umbrella, that would surely keep the rain off, Well one umâ€" brella was seen on the old school grounds where the picnic was held. Here are a few of the winners in the races: Mrs. Jean Leachman, Mrs. Snider, Mrs. Moreau, Mrs. E. Parkes, Mrs. Walduck, Mrs. Durâ€" rant, Margaret Ann Parkes, Ricky Schultz, Patsy . Moreau. This is just to mention a few. Perhaps there will be more for next week. Dr. Ross was very busy serving ice cream to children and parents. Mahy thanks to all the teachers and friends who helped make Monâ€" day such a success. On Sunday, June 8th the junior choir of Humber Summit Congreâ€" gational church motored to Sheriâ€" dan Gospel Missionary Mission to render some of their chosen pieces of music. _ Dorothy and Lorna Froyer and wée Garnet Froyer were in attendance in the afterâ€" noon, the rest of the choir were there for the evening service. Cars were very generously offered to take these youngsters and grownâ€" ups to the city, Humber Summit WESTMOUNT HUMBER HTS. and RIVERVIEW TIMES AND GUIDE, WESTON |â€" Mrs. J.
