H. J. Sissons, assistant gen- eral-manager, said the $3,- 000,000,000 power utility will be hard pressed to keep up with mounting demands for at least three more years until construc- \tion of new units are completed Construction strikes last sum- |mer--still dragging on in one trade--put the system's long- term construction program a |full year behind schedule. It means that Hydro faces its peak Christmas load period with just enough power to meet de- mands. 'Providing we don't have any major breakdowns, we get rea- sonable weather and water con- ditions and reasonable co-opera- tion with our interties--the sources of purchased power--we should be all right," said Hydro Chairman George Gathercole. He said, however, that any in- terruptions in power for the |Christmas period will be short. "Tf worst comes to worst, it will only be for a few days." \ WIG SNATCHER ANNOYS POLICE NEW YORK (AP) -- A decoy policeman dressed in his mother's clothes and wearing a scarf over his mustache was feigning drowsiness on a Manhattan stoop Saturday night when Doctors More Confident Heart - Patient To Survive CAPE TOWN (CP) -- Louis Washkansky's doctors were in- creasingly confident he would survive as he began his second week with this transplanted heart Sunday by eating his fa- vorite meal--steak and eggs.

For the evening meal, he sat up in bed and ate steak and eggs. After the operation a week ago, Washkansky could only sip water. Fruit drinks and glucose followed and, as his general condition improved; he nibbled soft boiled eggs and mashed vegetables, After his removal to a new ward Sunday, one of the sur- geons attending him said Wash- kansky would be able to get up at the end of this week--l4 days after receiving his new heart--if his rate of progress continues. "He is physically cable of get- ting up and walking about) now," surgeon Dr. John Bos- man said. "But we would not allow him to do so of course-- not with all those stitches and things in him."
