PHURSDAY, MAY 31, 1951 £ . THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE * PAGE FIVE Public Relations Chief Named By Ontario Hydro Culmination of a policy inauger- ated some three years ago with the appointment of Robert H. Saunders as Chairman of Ontario Hydro, formation of a Public Relations Division with the designation of James A. Blay as Director, has been announced by Mr. Saunders. The new division, which comes directly under the Chairman's office crystallizes the progress achieved in line with the original objective to keep the people fully informed at all times in relation to the affairs and progress of Hydro. Em; the tremendously important part public relations had been, and is now playing in the Commission's overall operations, the Chairman directed attention to some of the many problems Hydro had 'had to meet from the standpoint of power and water shortages, blackouts, restrictions and other difficulties in recent years. "It was imperative," said Mr. Saunders, "to obtain the utmost in co-operation from the municipal- ities and from the public generally in meeting these situations success- fully. That f d my attenti on: the importance of public rela- tions." As a result, with the placing of Comrmission's public relations ace tivities under the Chairman's office every news release and public an- nouncement came under the latter's desk. "Since that policy was first inaug- urated," stated Mr. Saunders, "the work of the public relations de- partment has multiplied and ex- panded to the point where there was a need for closer co-ordination. In my opinion, Mr. James A. Blay has done a tremendously efficient and important job as Manager of the Promotion Department. He has been designated as Director of Public Relations. As has been the case for the past three years, these activities will be under the Chair- man's office. And as in the past, we shal. endeavor in the future to keep the public--the owners of Hydro--fully informed about the activities of the Commission con- sistent, of course, with our policy of security in the present interna- tional crisis." Mr. Blay, who heads the new Public Relations Division under the Chairman, has been identified with the Commission for more than twelve years and has held a num- ber of key positions including those of Field Supervisor and General Supervisor of Promotion. Prior to his latest appointment, he was Man- ager of Promotion, HAS CHIP OF STONE KINGSTON (CP) -- Elma Purdie of Glasgow, visited her aunt and uncle here this week and brought a plece of the stone of Scone. She said she got it from Robert Gray, Glasgow sculptor who repaired the stone after it was recovered from Scottish nationalists who stole it Christmas Day. The Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia in the State of Washing- ton ultimately will frrigate 1,200,- 000 acres. 9 Thomas Critical (Continued from Page 3) sistance toward the cost of educa- tion." "Since education costs the people | § of this province 100 million dollars yearly this leaves a burden of 52 millions to be met by the munici- palities. I think that that province should, and can, give more assist- ance to education apd lift this municipal burden." In explaining where this money wes to come from, Mr. Thomas stated that the present govern- ment, instead of corpora= tion profits to their limit of 10 per cent, are taxing it a rate of only 7 per cent. WOULD RAISE CORPORATION TAXES "With a 71 million dollar revenue on a seven per cent tax, the gov- ernment would be able to collect 29 millions more simply by raising corporation taxes to the 10 per cent limit agreed on by the federal and provincial governments in 1946. That 20 million, if added to the grant for education, would finance 78 per cent of the cost in this province and greatly relieve the muicipal tax burdens." The speaker also outlined a pro- gram of government warehousing of beer in which the province could substantially increase its revenues from a paltry six million dollars. 'Three brewing companies in On- tario had profits of 48 million dol- lars last year. I think that we can get some of that money. The prov- ince, by warehousing beer along line similar to teh Liquor Control Board's sale of liquor could derive 25 million 'dollars more a year." CRITICIZES HOUSING, PENSIONS Mr, Thomas also struck out at the government's policy in regard to housing and old age pensions. "Last year the government grant- ed only $348, to the municipali- ties to aid housing and yet the Frost government hopes to attract 150,000 immigrants to Ontario this year. Where are they going to put them? Last year there were 87,000 marriages and only 82,000 homes built, so we are already 5,000 homes behind. The provinces and the Do- minion will not help. I think that housing is one of the greatest bul- warks against communism and de- serves government aid." In discussing social security and old age pensions Mr Thomas point- past ed out that it will cost Ontario just five million dollars to provide old age pensions on a 50-50 basis with the federal government for those between 65 and 70 years old with a means test. "The federal govern- ment is going to pay the whole cost of old age over 70 and there will be no means test." The speaker concluded his re- marks by urging the audience to work for the success of the CCF "whose time is coming." Hydro Appointment JAMES A. BLAY Formation of a Public Relations Division and the designation of James A. Blay as Director marks the culmination of a policy in- augurated at Ontario Hydro three years ago when Robert H. Saun- ders, C.BE., K.C, was appointed Chairman, Coming directly under the Chairman's Office, the new Division crystallizes the progress achieved in line with the original objectives to keep the people fully informed at all times on the pro- gress and affairs of Hydro. Mr. Blay, who was formerly Manager of Promotion, has been identified with the Commission for the past 12 years and is widely known, not only in the electrical field, but in newspaper, advertising, and mo- tion picture circles. Conversion To Christ Is Church Need TORONTO (CP)-- Rt. Rev. W. L. Wright, Anglican bishop of Algoma, said last night that Anglicans should put additional enthusiasm in their religion. Addressing the synod of the church's 'Toronto diocese, he said: "The chief need of the church is not more organization or more drives or campaigns. The great need of the church, as I see it. is more real conversion to Christ. We need more faith, more joy, more enthusiasm in our religion. There has been too much cold, academic, merely intellectual religion in the "In our Anglican communion, we pride ourselves on our beauty and dignity of worship -- and rightly so, as this is a precious heritage al- ways to be respected and main- tained. But it is of little use to have a beautiful liturgy, glorious music, noble architecture, if we lack the one thing which gives life and meaning to it all. A mighty emphasis on personal cwversion."

Seven Ministers Are Ordained At Conference KINGSTON (CP)-- Seven theo- logical graduates were ordained Wednesday night as ministers of the United Church of Canada. The church's Bay of Qunite con- ference also designated one woman a deaconess. The new ministers are( Carman J. Beckel and Hartwell W. B. Ill- sey, Kingston; George Alfred Boyle Brockville; Allan L.
