(AP) Blackout Taken In Stride By People Actin Naturally TORONTO (CP)--In the cool --and the dark--of the night, southern and eastern Ontario residents reacted to a massive power failure by doing, in most cases, what comes naturally. The lights went out at 5:16 .m, EST Tuesday, after a reakdown on the United States-Canada power grid. Just at that moment, a sub- urban Toronto housewife, ex- hausted from coping with four cials provided a ladder so they could step from the cars and make their way in the dark to the nearest exit outdoors. | Citizens risked injury in the| The Bell Telephone Co. re- dark by directing traffic at busy|who couldn't see the dial in the intersections where lights were/dark," a spokesman said. not operating.

As a_ result 30,000,000 people in southeastern Ontario and the- eastern United States had cold dinners and got home late. Officials of the publicly- owned Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission, at a candle lit interview during three suc- cessive blackouts in Toronto, told how it could happen. A complex of interlocking! power lines extends from Hy- dro - Quebec through Ontario Hydro to various power comp- anies of New York state and south to the Gulf of Mexico and west to Montana. This grid carries electricity from the the rivers of northern Quebec and Ontario, steam-op- erated plants in Ontario and hydro plants nestling on both sides of the Niagara River and in New York state.

After power was restored for the first time Tuesday evening at 4:18, there were two further: interruptions in southern On- tario--at 6:54 and 7:24. Full power was almost com- pletely restored at 8:30 p.m., Hydro officials said, with De- troit Edison and Hydro-Quebec sending power into the system.
