The Association is the spokesman for more than 320 municipal utilities through- out Ontario, the commis- sioners and councillors of which were elected to operate a specialized muni- cipal service and thus repre- sent more than two million residential, commercial and industrial customers served by the municipal distribution systems, and who consume two-thirds of the electric power in Ontario. Delegates to the two day Annual Meeting held at the Royal York Hotel were involved in discussions on a number of issues that have or will affect their con- sumers. Topics ranged from the "cost of power' to the use of "'off peak' power and the effect of Daylight Saving Time on energy conser- vation. ) Program speakers in- cluded: The Hon. Wm. G. Davis, Premier of Ontario; the Hon Robert Welch, Minister of ¥nergy for Ontario; Hugh L. Macaulay, Chairman, Ontario Hydro; Dr. Margaret N.

Actually contrary to any under-the-breath grumblings of disgruntled male chauvinists, it is most appropriate as any married man will attest, to have the Speaker of the House a member of the distaff side.

Assistant Director, South Carolina Energy Research Institute; and Richard Clayton, Policy Advisor, Ministry of State for Science and Technology. O.M.E.A. President, Ron- ald, K. Walker of Missis- sauga, impressed delegates with the fact that the ulti- mate strength of the Asso- ciation lies with lacal commissioners, people who are liked and respected in their home communities and whose collective advice carries a lot of weight with the people of Ontario at grassroots level. He stated, "While we have this strength any goverment will listen to us, without it even the best executives would be useless. We must be very careful that we don't end up with a beau- tiful tree without any roots." '"The commissioner cannot afford to be paro- chial. The commissioners cannot leave the broader matters to the association officers only. Everyone has a job to do, to understand the issues and to speak to those issues, particularly in this forum and with your local MLAs and with your community, all of your community, which you can do best." "With your help and dedi- cation, we, all of us together, can regenerate and rekindle an understanding of and: support for elected utility commissions, the fair alloca- tion of costs and electric power delivered to the con- sumers "at cost." That's basic to our success to date, and that's where we have to go. Back to basics." The Annual Meeting was held in conjunction with that of the"Association of Munici- pal Electrical Utilities (of Ontario) (AMEU). do it so often.
