It was the worst game the locale have played in some time and they were lucky to eke out a win. However, one cannot expect a sporting team to flot come up with a poor game once in a while. In the firet haîf the Wheelers could do nothing right and ended up on the wrong end of a 19-18 score. In the second haif they weren't much better but Cobourg was worse and the.game ended 37 to 30 for Bowmanville. Clemence was tops with 14 points followed by Rundle, Ma- son and Slemon with four each. Quigley and Platt were beet for Cobourg with eight each, follow- ed by Ewart with seven. One more win for the Wheel- ers or one loss for Port Hope will cee them in thë O.A.B.A. play- offs. As the Juniors won their group, Bowmanville have two en- tries in the playdowns. This may be their year. The next home game will be a playof! game early in March, so plan to be there.

STATEMENT 0 F Respective Functions ot The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario and the Municipal Hydro Commissions, with Particular Reference to the Present Emergency. ln view of the apparent public misunderstanding of the respective functions of The Hydro-Electric Power Commission of the Province and the Municipal Hydro Commissions in the municipalities, this statement is made fa clarify the situation.1 The function of the Provincial Commission is ta generate or buy elecfric power and to seil electrIc power f0 Municipal Commissions and direcfly fa rural consumers and f0 certain industries. The function of each Municipal Commission is fa sell f0 its consumers within the municipalify the electric pêwer purchased from the Provincial Commission. In practice, the Provincial Commission and the Municipal Commissions end eavour ta co-operate wifh each other in the public inferesf. By reason of lack of rainfal last summer and aufumn and by lack of fhaws during the present winter, there has been a substantial depletion of fhe storage of water necessary f0 mainfain ai high level of confinuous genera- tion. The resulfing loss of production of electric power bas taken place in Ontario and elsewhere where power has been purchased both under confracf and in excess of contracf commifmenfs by the Provincial Commission. This loss of production of elecfric energy bas become so seriaus thaf certain of those who had confracts ta supply the Provincial Commission with elecfric power have been compelled not only fa withdraw the electric power fhey had been supplying in excess of contracf commitments, but as well have been compelled f0 reduce delivery below con- tract requirements by a further reduction of 8,000,000 kilowaft-hours per week. As long ago as December 15fh, fhe Provincial Commission notified the. Municipal Commissions and indicafed ta ifs direct consumners1thaf, in addition fa cufs already being applied f0 direct consumers, if was evident that, unless addifional voluntary savings could be obfained, the Commission would be obliged fa order the municipalifies to reduce their loads from time fa fime by as much as 15 per cent or more. This notificafion was given for the ex. press purpose of obtaining greater conservation of power and to enable each Municipal Commission f0 plan in advance the mosf equifable allocation of power wifhin the municipalify. The Provincial Commission received notificafion that the mosf recent cuf of power purchased under contract would b. effective on Monday, February 16th. ln order f0 make an equifable reduction of power delivery f0 aIt Municipal Commissions, it was necessary for the Provincial Commission to compute for each Municipal Commission the amount of reduction if would be called upon fa absorb, after faking info account the amount of conservafioni alreadly effecfed by each Municipal Commission since October, 1947. To enable the Provincial Commission fa complefe fhe necessary compufafions and f0 nofify the majority of Municipal Commissions of the amount of reduc- fion each would have fa absorb by Wednesdacy, February 1 Bth, if was ne cessary thaf a substantial reduction be placed in effect as of Monday, February 16th, sa thaf there would b. no risk of an actual power stoppage in de- liveries by the Provincial Commission. To accomplish this, the Provincial Commission requested the Municipal Commissions of Toronfo, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, Windsor and Peterborough f0 reduce their fakings of elecfric power by speciflc amounts during specifled fimes, and also requested these Municipal Commissions fa, in the mean- time, treat the requesf confldenfially and nof fa give if fa the press prior fa the notificafion f0acil municipalities on Monday. This was done f0 avoid statements appearing which might have the effect of creating quit. erroneous impressions of the amount of reduction necessary in each particular municipality fhroughouf fhe Province. In relation f0 the reduction of power, each Municipal Commission was foced wifh entirely different considera. fions as f0 how available power would be allocated wifhin each municipality. Four this reason, if was not feaisible for the Provincial Commission by a general statement f0 indicafe f0 the consumers in any particular municipality the allocution of available power that would b. made by the Municipal Commissions. The Provincial Commission is delivering fa fhe Municipal Commissions and fa ifs direct consumers ail the elec- hric power if is able f. generate or buy. h is the function of eaich Municipal Commission fa determine not only the allocation of power among ifs con- sumners, but also what public explanation may be desirable in relation thereto THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION 0F ONTARIO ITed Bagneli Bowls 'Em Over for High Single-TripleHonors Ted Bagneli was No. 1 man at Sthe alleys Wednecday night cap- mturing the high triple honore and i having the high ingle game to iwin the Royal Theatre tickets.
