fTVif; Wednesday, August 13, 1947 THE F'l 5:SHERT0N ADVANCE Ik. > ^ ^ K â- J A. Ik HYDRO fiBsaeir NEW POWER PLANTS Hydro is pushing construction to meet the press- ing demand for more electricity. The above huge generator will soon pour an additional 70,000 horsepower into the Hydro system from the DeCew Falls plant near St. Catharines. Two other larger plants in eastern Ontario, now under construction, will deliver 81,000 horsepower next year and 360,000 horsepower by 1951. These two major developments, with the DeCew Falls addition, will provide Ontario with a further badly needed half-million horsepower. The growing output of Ontario's industries and farms benefits everyone but colls for more and more elec^icity. Even now that the war is over, the demand has not slackened but continues to mount. Hydro's peak load increased by more than S00,000 horsepower over the highest wartime demand, an increase of 25%. Generating plants take a long time to build and could not be started during the war. Few places in the world hove as much eleo* tricity available per person as Ontario. However, we must use our electricity sparingly so that all homes, all farm services and all industries will receive their shore. ^ Will you do your ELECTRICITY port ? ... USE HYDRO WISELY and there will be enough for all. B>a< ELECTRICITY JT^KIT CHEN LIVING ROOM THE HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER COMMISSION OF ONTARIO ROCK MILLS Wedding bells are ringinsr loudly.

HANDS AT WORK LEARNING REFRIGERATION OA7--UtfO'S productive capacity is the measure of her future prosperity. To assure this province a proininent place in domestic and foreign trade markets, skilled hands are needed. Increased production of refrigeration units will mean a greater need for skilled servicing. Veterans, basically trained in schools and ON THE JOB, will fill this need as they are absorbed into industr)-. For those who have mastered skilled occupations, higher wages, job security and better working con« ditions are within easier reach. Through plans sponsored by the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies, hundreds of young workers are being trained for refrigera- tion servicing. Graduates of training schools are ready now to take tlieir places in industry. Craftsmen of the future, they will have a share in Ontario's progress â€" an important part to play in her industrial de- velopment. THE BKEVtUSG INDUSTRY (ONTARIO) RBFRIGEILITION D. C.
