pice TEN ARAN oF THE DAILY TIMES.GAZETTE ™> Power Shortage (Continued from Page 1) bec companies which supply Suppey cannot give us more power than we have contracted for -- in fact they cannot even fill our con- tracts." . "Thera have been two years of sub-normal rainfall and the stor- age basins have never been able to fill up," he said. "The result is that now we are in an awkward position. : "We have tried our best to deal equitably with every municipality in the distribution of power. But we have"only so much power to go around--only so much that we can provide. "We decided that there were many municipalities which were not doing their share in conserving power and have had to take the position that if, by next Monday, any municipality which has been consistently over its quota, does not make the necessary reduction, it will have to cut off power or we will, "No Other Way Out" "If power is not conserved there will have to be cut-offs," Mr, Saun- ders said, "There is no other way out. But we will try to spread it equitably throughout the province as far as we can. "There is enough power to go ue around if everyone will co-operate. |. But we must stop the waste of elec- tric power which is now prevelant. We have 900,000 customers in the province and if every one of them burned one 100 watt bulb needless- ly, it would mean that the water which flows over Niagara Falls in the period of 45 seconds would be wasted. And there is a lot of water going over Niagara Falls every second. "Last spring I warned "that if the power consumption kept up. its pace, the only way in which we at Hydro could keep up was to have a depression and I am sure that we don't want a depression. The press has co-operated to the full- est extent with me in warning of a power shortage but we still aren't doing enough. "My hope is that we shall all get together and work something out so that we will not interfere with the payrolls of our workers." In a question period which fol- lowed, Mr. Saunders was asked that if weekend work was inaugur- ated, how it would save power, He replied that while Hydro: is short of water in its storage reservoirs, there is an excess of electrical en- ergy during the weekends. M. J, Fenwick, secretary of the United Steelworkers' Union here, asked Mr, Saunders how weekend world would affect overtime pay. Mr. Fenwick maintained that if La- bor is asked to give up part of its privileges, the burden should be shared by everyone. Mr. Saunders replied that he was not in a posi- tion to go into the merits or de. merits of overtime pay. In opening the meeting, Oshawa Public Utilities Chairman 8. J. Babe told the gathering that the meeting bad been called to discuss means of ying power during a critical per- iod. "If we don't save power, some- thing drastic will have to be done," he warned. "It is a critical situa- tion. If everyone saves power no one will be hurt but* I am afraid that this situation will last for an- other six months. We all got to- gether during the war to save pow- er; why can't we do it now?" Must Pull Together Mayor McCallum warned that switches - would have to be pulled to make the public aware of the critical sljuation, especially in the residential sections of the city. He pointed out that the P.U.C, had cut down on street lighting and added, "If we all pull together, we can pull through. We have done fairly well but hot good enough." "As far as Oshawa is concerned, we have not as yet met our require- ments," P.U.C, Manager George F. Shreve said. "The situation now is more severe than last year but we still have not met our quota. We had asked for a reduction of 10 per cent which would have put us with- in our quota but the response has not been good. We have been over our quota every day." He read a letter from the Ontario Hydro Commission which pointed out that Oshawa's power consump- tion was considerably over its quota and warned that if the situation was not rectified by October 5, pow- er cut-offs would be necessary, every hour on the hour from dawn to dusk up to 15 minutes per hour. "Industry is doing fairly well but we haven't the same check on resi- dential areas," Mr. Shreve said, "It is very difficult to get the required reduction from residential districts. "We are not yet at our real test- ing point," he warned, "We are Just riding along now.

Pulling switches is most detestable to everyone con- cerned and we should explore every means to avoid it if possible." Voluntary Action Necessary During the discussion period, J. B. Highfield, general manufacturing manager of General Motors, stressed that the situation was one which called for voluntary action, "If you set us a quota we will try and live up to it," he declared. "Un. employment in this town should not exist, We want to keep our men working. We must stay in unison with one another. You let us know our quotd and we will do our best. to stay within the limits." Mr. Highfield added that he did not agree with industries going on night operations. "That would con= sume more power because lights would be needed. Under our oper- ations if one part is slowed or shut down, the whole line has to stop." Douglas M. Storie of Fittings, Limited, complained that the P.U.C. did not take a stand and tell indus- tries what they must do to keep within their quotas. "All they da, is warn us," he said. "If we wait until they pull the switches we wil] all yell. We couldn't stand any switch pulling. If they are pulled, we will have to shut down." "We must have @ committee rep- resenting industry, labor and busi- ness, and we should not leave here tonight without appointing that committee," said Mr. Storie. Jack Reid of Duplate of Canada Limited, asked that the commission set quotas for industries to "shoot at." Industries should have some idea of the limits which are set for them, he declared. "If the P.ULC, won't stick their neck out and set up quotas for us, let's have a committee which will," FP. V. Skinner, president of Skinner Company Limited urged. Angus Barton, of Robson Leather Co., said that every industry of any . size would wish to be repre- sented on the committee.

MADISON GRILL NOW UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT Well folks, we are back in: business again, ready and willing fo serve you. It gives us great pleasure to cater to our fellow citizens of Oshawa. . Fine quality foods will always predominate. Your satisfaction is our aim; your patronage, our greatest achievement. something to say about it," he pointed out, Labor's Viewpoint M. J. Fenwick noted that repre- sentatives of labor had been invited to the parley at the last minute but said he was willing to overlook this alleged slur. Speaking for his union he declared that there were objections to working on Saturdays and Sundays and his members would not agree to this unless it became absolutely necessary. "If we see that everyone is pulling their weight to get over this crisis we will go along with you," he said. Mr. Babe, who presided, in reply warned, "You will find it necessary to work on Saturdays or Sundays or not at all." Graham Coulter of Coulter Man- ufacturing Company Limited sug- gested that, to cope with the prob- lem, industries and large hydro users' be divided into sections such as major consumers, minor consu- mers, storekeepers and organized labor. This suggestion met with the approval of Mayor McCallum who said that the Oshawa District La bor Council should have a represen tation on' any committee set. up. Morley Wyman of Zellers asked why daylight saving was not, con- tinued as a conservation measure and was informed by Mr. Babe that this had been taken up with the Ontario Hydro Commission and it had been found out that all the power which could be saved by this means would not be orth the trouble, Mrs. B. C. Colpus, chairman of the Board of Education, urged that householders be well informed of the critical situation and asked to "AND HIS, ORCHESTRA AtThe Belleville Arena Thuts., Oct 14th 9pm.to 1 am.

Mayor McCallum assured Maurice Hart of the Oshawa Dairy that if cut-offs became necessary, power usérs would he warned in advance. The mayor also suggested that a committee be set up to study ways and means to conserve power. "We can all get in under the wire if we all do our best," he de- clared. "It will be up to industry to stagger hours of work--one plant might work nights one week and another the next." +P. R.

Following adjournment of the for- mal meeting, committee members met and ided that in view of the -| urgency of the situation, they would meet again. in the council chamber off the Old City Hall on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. Mr. Fenwitk asked that Mr. Shreve and his staff prepare figures apportioning the power supply for various industries in the meantime so that the committee would have something concrete to work on at Sunday's meeting. The committee decided that the figures should be made available and Mr. Shreve as- sured them that the data would be ready.
