ontario here and there the press of the province is calling attention to the coming of the chicken supper season throughout the rural districts and almost smaking its lips in happy anticipation as one paper puts it that season of the year is at hand where the great rural festival known as the chicken supper occu pies one of the leading places in the thought of mankind in the cities as well as in the towns another writer sees visions of wonderful eats with chicken fried roasted or stewed occupying first placa on the tempting menu no autumn would be autumn without the slaghter of multitudes of young fowl to help in the harvesttide feasting as well as in assisting in the maintenance of the church organizations for fowl suppers are peculiarly part and parcel of tho means of raising funds chicken suppers also attract the people to ponder over the blessings of the harvest when most of tho seasons work is done and nature is going to rest for the next few months to preparo for another springtime and harvest these suppers are social gather ings and should not bo allowed to fall away even though they entail an immense amount of labor by the women and the men ot the congre gation what would autumn be like without a score or more of these annual feastings which recall in their own way itho happy feasts in the castles ot merrie england as winter nights drew on in the long ago today the chicken supper is not an accompaniment to carousing for a religious setting generally is found associated with the fowl meal but wo wonder how much real profit thero is in ono of these feasts it you count tho labor and effort thero is none at all but thero are days and nights when ono must not be sttckiish about a little extra work for work is needed and will bo needed to pull civilization and civilized towns and communities out lot the slough of despond but if one i counts the pies the cakes the pickles tho scores ot other factors which go to make up a full board for a supper of fowl it would seem that the profit goes to the consuni or tho man or woman or child who paying a small amount of money has tho privilege of eating all and sundry but the very hold ing of a supper tho appearance of the crowds about the tables happy to cat and he filled is in itself a satisfaction probably worth while in fact today tho world has gone too far away from the old past of do ing things for the mero sociability there should be more of the spon taneous happiness and overflow of spirits- with such institutions as fowl suppers tond to crcato and keep alive so long live tho chicken supper toronto globe the ontario hydroelectric com mission lias taken up in earnest the task of inducing the people of the province to make the fullest possible use of the service they own and maintain it seems like a paradoxi cal state of affairs but is explained by the fact that the late com missions industry in signing con tracts for the purchase ot current overshadowed tho fundamental pol icy of the undertaking established by sir adam beck the original pur pose of hydro being to provide cheap power and light for the con sumer it is apparent that this end could not be attained by piling up interest charges on useless current bought from quebec power barons the present commission is endeav oring to put the surplus current to work obviously the chief field for ex pansion is in rural districts where distribution costs are higher than in urban areas and where also buying ability has been at a low ebb during the period the wholesale contracts were heing taken on is it sound business policy to offer reduc ed rates to farmers and other rural residents even rates that will not meet costs in order to get distri bution under way the commission explains it is not improbable that when the new rates are promulgated power will be supplied at a nominal charge for the pumping of water used in sanitary systems for washing machines for radios and for milkcooling machines other suggestions under consideration it is stated include special facilities to obtain loans on the installation of electric ranges refrigerators electrically operated cream separators and milk coolers which are not provided for under the present loaning privilege sir adam beck pictured electric ally equipped farms to make rural life attractive by eliminating a great part of the tedious hand labor initial costs and high service charg es have made development slower than he anticipated obviously the direct method of attacking the problem is by extending induce ments to increase installations which will automatically reduce service charges and the cost of current per farm or household the hydro commission proposes to bear a larger part of the first costs that the farming communities may be able to establish lower charges for themselves this appears to be a sensible way of getting current on the farms at reasonable prices and introducing the boon of sanitary and laborsaving equipment tho extent to which rural municipalities are cooperating in accepting the fiveyear contract in stead of the disheartening twenty- year agreement indicates confidence in the possibilities of expansion up on which lowered costs depend of 305 townhsips having hydro service 1 2s0 have already adopted bylaws in favor of the reduced term the im mediate result of this should be to increase tho number of installations and experience has shown that when electricity is introduced every effort is made to retain it corrected figures in publishing the official returns for north york byelection in our last
