SMYTHEâ€"WHITTAKER A very quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Beverley Durant. 135 Grenadier Road.

The bride was beautifully dressed in a long white tafl‘eta dress. trimmed with silver. silver shoes and stockings to match. Her bridal veil came in a cap effect over her head and was caught a: each side with orange blos- The Chronicle has long been a consistent advo- cate of Hydro, but at that we have not been altoge- ther blind to its weaknesses.

Practically all the publicity the Hydro has ever received has been from the city angle. Little has ever been heard of the outlying centres, and if the controversy now going on over in Bruce County has done nothing else. it may have awakened the Hydro municipalities to the fact that the time has passed when this great power-distributing system can lie back on its oars and let the public come to them. The mountain in this case did not come to Mahomet; now Mahomet has to go to the mountain. ed, and it is to be feared that in the past their re- quirements and desires have been shelved in order that the Hydro Commission might cater to the larger centres, where more power was needed and where it was easier to install than in the rural dis~ tricts. This is a step that the municipalities supporting Hydro should have taken long ago. Despite the fact that there are several large cities in the Hydro group, the smaller centres are just as much interest- The smaller municipalities have too long submitted to what the Commission had to hand out to them and it is with genuine pleasure that we learn that they have at last taken the bit in their teeth in an endeavor to have Hydro made province-wide. As The Globe remarks, there is only a small portion. of Ontario served by Hydro as yet. Last Friday’s Toronto Globe said editorially: “The Hydro-Electric municipalities sensed the only danger confronting their power policy when they went on record as. favoring a continuous publicity campaign to offset the propaganda of privately owned enterprises. Their resolution should be translated into action without delay.” PAGE 4.

DISQI’ALIFIED FOR LIFE as an anchor for one end of There’s nothing wrong with the Hydro from the mechanical standpoint, but we do think that there could be considerable improvement made in the publicity end by having someone on the Commission who understands rural cnditions. Continual anthems of praise, perhaps, may have given the Hydro Com- mission and the Hydro generally the idea that it This will be a phase of Hydro that The Globe is not acquainted with, but it is too true that for a time “the hicks in the sticks” had to- step lively to command very much civility out of the lance cor- porals in charge. From the small town standpoint there is nothing that can take the place of the Hydro. Had the Hydro not have been here we would have been short of power, and. with a very limited number of subs- cribers to draw from it is hard to tell what the rates might have been for a tw enty-four hour ser- vice. So far as price, service, and'conditions gener- ally are concerned, this Eugenia system seems to be the best of the lot and in the past thirteen years we have had an almost continuous and uninterrupt- ed servico at a fair cost. One inspector, and a mighty decent fellow he was and is, took the trouble. to ask us one day what was the matter with the people up in this part of Ontario. “Every time I walk in to inspect a job, someone wants to fight,” was his complaint. We told him the reason and he said he didn’t blame us. was infallible, but from the rumpus that has been raised since Bruce County gave it the kick in the neck it should have received long ago, considerable improvement may come. In the years gone by there have been .too many ofiicious officials connected with the system. From thetoptothebottomoftheladderithasbeenacase of wielding the “big stick’ ' until the pe0ple who paid the fiddler had little or nothing to say, were given no information or asked any advice. We have had inspectors in Durham who vetoed their prede- cessor’s work, as well as superintendents or what- ever they were called, no two of whom seemed to know just what their duty was. “The PeOple’s Hydro” so far as we were concerned, was a joke. Sometimes we were forced to the conclusion that the fellow who landed in to inspect the installation of a couple of lights or fixtures owned the whole system, and on one occasion .this office was threatened with a “no-hook-up” order because we had the work done evidently by someone who was not in that particular officials favor. It is true that this order was never put into effect, but the threat was there. The inspec- or was invited to go ahead, but relentedâ€"possibly because he feared the consequences if the matter were reported. We have always boosted Hydro, we are still boost- ing it; but the time for action has now arrived. That sort of thing, though, is pretty well be- hind us, and perhaps we should not have mention- ed it, but it is one of - the things that has not had a good effect on Hyd‘ro. Today the officials are more painstaking, more civil, and appear willing to help a subscriber out of a difficulty he does not understand. With a real service behind it and the necessary publicity there is no reason why munici- pally owned Hydro should not increase more in the next ten years than it has in the past. pally owned electric producing commission in the world, it got into a rut, so far as the appointed Com- mission was concerned, it remained in the rut, and it was up to the municipalities to try and get it over on to the smooth highway. shire's popular resort, Blackpool. with its amazing and lively Fun City on the South Shore. its great, ballroom. and its myriad lights transforming it into a fairyland by the sea.
