Production at this new Cana- dian source will end the two basic steelmakers' heavy de- pendence on foreign ore which has entailed much higher costs in recent months as the result of the devaluation of the Cana- dian dollar in terms of U.S. funds. : The Wabush Mines develop- ment is being financed by a group of Canadian, United States and Europeal steel com- the increases were due mainly to exchange rates. panies, ' THE OSHAWA TIMES, Friday, Januery 4, 1963 3 CHAMBER NAMES THIRD VICE-PRESIDENT Russell D.

(AP)-- San Diego Chargers of the American Football League have traded draft rights to Terry Baker, Oregon State quarter- back, to the league's Oakland Raiders, Sid Gillman, Chargers general manager and coach, said Thursday. He said he could not disclose at this time what the Chargers get in return for rights to the Heisman award winner. Baker was the Chargers' No. 12 draft choice and the No. 1 choice of Los Angeles Rams of For Ontario, 1962 was "Year One" of the nuclear-electric e, NPD, Canada's first nuclear- electric power station, went critical on April 11, and two months later delivered the first nuclear power to Hydro's South- ern Ontario System. While re- latively small (20,000 kilowatts), this joint development of AECL, Canadian General Electric, and Ontario Hydro is the proto- type for a full-scale, 200,000 kilowatt nuclear power station now being built by AECL at Douglas Point on Lake Huron. In a review of 1962, Ontario Hydro Chairman W. Ross Strike dutlined developments in the supply of electric energy to 355 associated municipal utilities, 97 rural operating areas, and heavy industrial users, repre- senting almost 2,000,000 custom- ers.

Peak power demands in December reached 5,948,800 kilo- watts, an increase of 6.2 per cent over 1961. Resources to meet these demands totalled 7,088,000 kilowatts. Forecasts indicate electrical consumption during 1963 will rise about 6.5 per cent, equal to the long- term average. Ontario Hydro supplies 90 per cent of thel; Developments Are Outlined from increases in the growth of power demands, Mr, Strike said, Ontario Hydro and the associated municipal utilities will continue their drive for a greater share of the energy market in the home, commer- cial and industrial fields. The year 1962, Mr. Strike con- tinued, was one in which On. tario Hydro. made many opera- tional and administrative econ- omies. One of the most significant developments of the 1962 was the expansion of the international interconnected power system, of which Ontario Hydro is an in- tegral part, into the world's largest power pool, stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to James Bay, and from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlan- tic seaboard. This group of WASHINGTON -- Even bird watchers seldom put crows, which flock so raucously at win- ter roosts, on their lists of favorite feathered friends. These eggheads of the bird world are living proof that a combination of brains and crime can be made to pay . Moreover, they seem to know to a fraction the range of a farmer's gun. Crows are born kleptomani- acs. No known defences keep them from trespassing into grain fields and gardens. Crows steal the eggs of more beloved birds with lesser IQ's. They have been called, by an Audu- bon official, the "Pigeon Birth Control League" of the U.S. Capital. Henry Ward Beecher, the 19th-century American clergy- man, said that if people wore feathers and wings, very few of them would be clever enough to be crows. ALL-AMERICAN BIRD Every hand has been rais2d against the crow, yet it thrives across the United States, The crow comes close to be- ing the all-American bird. Pos- sibly ten thousand people recog- nize the crow instantly, for one who has even seen a bald eagle, the national emblem. The crow, unlike the eagle, is not in the slightest danger of extinction. A quarter of the world's 400 varieties of crows and jays flourish in the Western Hemis- phere, but no one knows how this Old World family got here. The earliest settlers found that crows had preceded them and were known by special names to all Indian tribes. and they help control pests. But it is the evil they do that lives after them. Crows have been observed working in pairs to pillage robin nests, One crow taunts the parent robins into pursuing him while the other swoops down quietly on the fledgings. Then the part- ners meet in a rendezvous tree Noisy Crow Ranks As All-American usually March, April, or May. A young crow is all appetite; it will eat anything. No than 656 different items have been identified in the diet of crows. less Crows serve as scaveigers, insect to share the take, Pet crows seem to learn faster than dogs. They can ami- tate human sounds and devise games. There is hardly a crow alive that can resist collecting and hiding trinkets, When crows take up with or against people, as the case may be, their antics cannot be ignored. "Blackie," a pet crow in Little Ferry, New Jersey, meddied in people's activities so persistently that he earned this newspaper epitaph: "Few humans would take from each other the mockery, .invective. and abuse Blackie has aimed at school teachers, motorists, choir singers, and innocent bystand- ers." Another crow appeared at the National Zoo in Washington, | D.C., and joined the traffic policemen. For months h2 rode on their shoulders and the hoods of squad cars. It turned out "that this was a suburban crow named "Sam~ . Nottingham," an orphan which had been raised by u wou. girl after its parents died up- holding their right to unsow a Maryland cornfield. Widest ranging is the com- mon or Eastern crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), a powerfully built bird about 19 inches long with jet-black plumage and a stout beak. The fish crow is slightly smaller. Most varieties ook like the common crow and share its amazing ability to adjust to changes in food, foli- age, enemies, and the ele- ments.

Inter- connections with neighboring utilites also provide economies through the sale or purchase of surplus power. 1962 was also a year when the value of Hydro's current ther. mal expansion program was proven. Low water levels on the major watersheds drastically reduced the output of hydro. electric generating stations in Southern and Northeastern On- tario. But new thermal capa- city took up the slack -- supply- requirements. On the sales front, 1962 was a successful year, Mr. Strike said, with special emphasis be- ing placed on electric heating. By the end of the year, some 4,000 homes, 1,200 apartment suites, 215 motels, 115 churches, and 50 schools were electically heated. _ "We are fortunate in Ontario in having power rates among the lowest in the world", Mr. Strike said.
