Published by on Newspaperimtdj inhuman Barrie casino PAGE FOLK SATQRDAY DECEMBER EDITORIAL Finances Show Barrie Is Sound With Some Problems News that the any of Barrie is fin ancially well off is good news indeed Perhaps it is some comfort to those of us who believe that our taxes are high enough that there are communities more heavily taxed than ourselves An interestingfnctor is that the growth of Barrie outstrips the rate of growth of the province over the past few years If thiscontlnucs then it is probable that the city fathers will be faced with an nexation problems in the not too distant future And while it is invigorating to contem plate growing city the fact must not be overlooked that too rapid growth brings with it problems At this time We are faced with problems of roads garb age disposal school expansion hospital addition and the like and if we are to continue to grow there is no doubt that th se problems will become more serious nless we can find satisfactory solu tions for our immediate difficulties However as citizens of this thriving community we must be prepared to share the cost of the improvements necessary city needs certain services sndthese cost money It is possible that our tax rate will rise more rapidly than it has in the past but this is not necessarily so for great deal of the increase in cost can be contained in the increasing ss sessment of this community What has been accomplished so far is credit to the aldermen ofthe city Fig ures show that our affairs have been managed well by these publicspirited men It is hoped that things will continue this way Young Leader And Old As president 01 the United states strongest and wealthiest of the western democracies Senator John Kennedy will automatically become what the Guardian of Manchester calls leader of the grand alliance Whether it will be titular leadership or real will depend upon Kennedy him self and his actions As Drew Middleton of the New York Times points out it would be amistake to believe that the others in the alliance are men who are old unimaginatlve andtired They are old at least in comparison with Kennedy Prime Minister Macmil lan of England is 65 President do Gaulie of France is 10 and Chancellor Adenauer or West Germany is 04 But each has shown vigor imagination receptivoness tomew ideas and an ability to lead his country in new world They have had tobe able and even brilliant precisely because they are less powerful than the Unltedstotee and than the Soviet Eh rmnnmmnaxcn Ottawa Journal Mas and thrones may perish but the church oi Jesus constant will remain sang the treble voices of boys in descent then to the accompaniment of band and organ there rose the triumph song of thefinai verse of the hymn Onward Christian Soldiers Thus concluded the service of remembrance in Church Church Cathedral Sunday afternoon which was atiended by members of the Can adian Legion and the IODE and the RCAF hand There were similar services in many other churn ch95 in the district Ceremonies such as Ihose held at the Nation ion the Milwaukee Journal says and con tinues One thing Kennedy as shown by his talks on foreign affairs and his cem paign talks shares with them It is the belief that great issues cannot be solved overnight nor by good will tours or per sonal diplomacy They behave in con tinuing mewflcllpaiitem and in old fashioned diplomacy which entails much work at the ambassadorial and even low er levels before chiefs of state can reach final agreements Kennedy has no trust in what has so often bothered and even anguished our chief allies expedients dictated from Washington without proper diplomatic foundation and con sultation All of this may be to the good Ken nedy will be Working with men of his torloal perspective and of more experi enca than himself Yet he has shown some of the qualities and beliefs that Macmillan deGaulle and Adenauer pos sess It may be fine partnership Opinions of Newspapers cal War Memorial have rlgblfill place in our

present and the fuissrc ii HON ILMACAULAY QC Minister Energy Resources What is electricity and how is is produced Nn oneness pmvida the answer to the question What is electric ily The most that science can say is that given certain condi tions something will result In short science can tell uabow to creaie electricity and caninvent machines that willuse electric iiy butno one can really say what electricity actually is Nor can anyone define light or how it traveler How is electricity produced Electricity is produced by turn ing one part of what is calleda generator generator consists of two main parts An immense wheel lying on its side which is composed of magnets This wheel spins in side metal case huge case of metal cells which encases the wheel of magnets As the wheel of magnets spins at great speed inside this metal case an electrical current is produced Why No one knows it just does How does little boy become big man isnt it enough to know that by spinningva wheel of magnets rolt tor inside shell of metal coils electricity is produced What do we use to make the rotor spin We can use motor driven by gasoline coal gas electricity etc but generally speaking the cheapest way to make the gene aior turn is to attach it to pad diewheel which turns as water fallsron it OLD GRIST MILL Have you ever seen the picture of old grist mills Water falls from height upon paddle wheeland the force of the falling water turns the wheel In gen erating station the wheel is at tached at its axle to the generat or So as the water fails it turns the paddlewheel as the paddle wheel turns theaxle turns The axle is attached at its other end totbe rotor So as the paddle wheel spins so doesthc rotor So is water fails it turns the paddleivheel this turnsrtbo rot or andvas said earlier this pro duces electricity This electricity is then carried hundreds of miles to light our homes and drive our machines But how do we get this water to fall wherewe want it We select river that has swift current and large volume of water We build big dam across The water hits the dam and can go no farther so it backs up and forms large lake behind the dam When huge lake has been formed and the water has risen say so feet it is fed through holesand pipes ai the top of the dam to fall down upon the wheels that turn the generators The electricity produced from falling water is called hydraulic electricity ie The which reduces most of the el in Ontario is called The HydrmElectrlc Power Commis sion of Ontario Hydro standing iorHydlaullc To produce electricity from falling water is the cheapest form of electricity is is our do men because the fuel is free The water just rolls along down the river whether we try to use it or not hydraulic generating station is more expensive to build than generating station using forms of power other than water be cause of the need for extensive flooding behind it to form the re servoir Also because of the dam and because the dam must be put where the river is and not necessarily wherethe power is most needed Thus the power must be carried perhaps at great distances from the site of produc tion to the place of use Hydraulic power produced at the site by Ontario Hydro aver ngcs between less than two and slightly above three mills per kilowatt hour at relativeiyshigb load factor Coal fired stailona averages 55 to mills per kwh at comparableload factor orrsws hrponr New Legislation The cheapest electricity in On larlo therefore is produced from falling water and at present rates for other fuels coal comes next and than gas Behindcomes nuclear energy Ontario hydroe resources in 1959 were capable oi producing 3250300 bp of electricity Ontario £25800 lip coal 2400 hp from oil and the balance of 0322 hp was purchased from other jurls diciions By 1900 2912200 hp will be available and we expect that 650000 hp will come from falling water 10528000 hy from coal and gas 9944000 hp from nu clear energy Clearly in Ontario we are nearing the end of our hydraulic sources of power and we are fuming more and more to ther mal and nuclear energy Helps Little Man By PATRICK NICHOLSON Under the able guld an of Prime Minister Dieienbakers most effective lieutenant the government has quickly demon strated the sinew in its throne speech promises In the very first week of parlia ments young session Public Works Minister David Walker steered major piece of legisla tion through to final approval by the House of Conunonsan achievement which can not re call previously and which indeed isprubably record for our parliament The way was cleared forreariy action in the governments drive to create moreandiasting jobs iprCansdians by the abrupt ter mination of the general debate on the throne speech which nor mally dragson info the third week of each session Prime Minister Diefenbaker proposed that the debate should be indef mildlypostponed after Liberal Leader Mike Pearson and he himself and CCF leader Hazen Argue had spoken his proposal was that thus the House could quickly turn to urgent legislation and came back to the rambling general throne debate much later MrmPearson accepted Mr Diefenbakers sugges and changedvit by proposing that the first cutoff should be final which was done TOEELP THE LITTLE MAN Our chnslructicn industry has been slowing down not belt cause every Canadian is decently housed bulbecause the supply of mortgage funds has dried up with our national shortage of cash and perhaps even more because house prices have risen and outmoding the situation ca tered for by our housing legis lation and buyers have been reluctant to finance newbornes through the outrageous and aft proiesled racket of higlrinterest short term and mcanlydislt counted second mortgages pro vided by moneylending sharks The new legislation introduced by Hon David Walker last week and readily approved by parlia merit will virtuallyth an end to 1the most insidious money lending chisel since Sbylnck de manded his poundof flesh This new act will help the young father who wants to own his own home in which to raise his family In future no less than 95 per cent of new homes lead ing valuationof up to $12000 can be borrowed under government guaranteedmorigage and repay meats can be spread out over 35 years This is the second eas ing of mortgage conditions by the Dieienbaker government These terms are now much more realislt tic and truly put new home within the means of the average working father Public Works Minister David Walker in introducing the new housing bill was forced to relate to the House complicated series of statistics illustrating the dee velopment of our home construc tion industry He exercised the rightcf minister on such an occasion to read prepared fexf of the technical part of his speech but he apologised to the House for having to do this In the result he presented an inter esting survey which constitutes definitive history of our postwar urban development From that point onwards the debate deteriorated into air cbanges reminiscent more oi school boy venom than of parlfae mentary dueiling We heard spit without wit and scum without fun as the nonnally suave Lionel Chevrier tangled with the govern mcnt benches and the disorderly mputbings of some of his slums bling colleagues prompted Mr Speaker to abide them The bitter tone crept in first when Liberal named Heliyer seemingly infringed the rules of the Housepbyreading his speech ghostwritten Hellyer described in the Parlidmentary Guide as proprietor of MariJane Fash ilinswss aptly dubbed Little Boy Blue from Toronto by Mr Walker and lllepbeforth the tongues were bared seriously question wheiher de bailng standards priced atriu 000 year of the taxpayers money were met by Liberal
