PORTRAITS OF THE PAST HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL The presentation of the historical fashion pageant, Portraits of the Past, in Terrace Bay was received with delight, admiration and envy as the forty local models appeared in turn. From the simple homespun of the earliest settlers to the height of Paris fashion of the seventeenth century and the extravagance of the Gay Nineties, each creation was greeted with appreciation. First on the scene were the original settlers of Canada - the Indians, followed by Madame Champlain and her maid, whose simple dress set the mode for ordinary women for many years after. There were little major change in dress until the Victorian era when women had more leisure to manipulate the hoops and ruffles that predominated. Through the years, the highlights of Canadian history were illustrated with dazzling costumes such as could have been seen in Canada at the time. Many people expressed the opinion that this was one of the most enjoyable ways of learning history and, since the program, others have said how much they would like to see another such production. Under the direction of Mrs. Thelma Morrow and Mr.Bruce Enden of the Centennial Planning Branch, the program was convened by Mrs. Lois Hopper and Mrs. Marilyn Chisholm, with Mrs. Aggie Sinkins and Mrs. Gillian Whiteley in charge of ticket sales and publicity.

CLEAN AIR A MUST AT HYDRO STATIONS People have long been saying "where there's smoke .. there's fire." Of late, however, they're more likely to say "where there's smoke .. there's air pollution." At Ontario Hydro's coal-fired thermal 'electric plants, such as the $27 million Thunder Bay station, on the Fort William waterfront, air pollution is being reduced to a bare minimum. Hydro is spending millions of dollars to ensure that air around its six coal fired thermal plants will be clean. The final cost will be close to $30 million by 1971. Reaching skyward a distance of 350 ft. , the. stac stack of the Thunder Bay plant will do much to alleviate air pollution by dispersing flue gases high into the upper atmosphere . The most modern electrical precipitators avail- able are being installed in Hydro's thermal electric plants. At Thunder Bay, these pre- cipitators are designed to remove 98 per cent of the fly ash particles before combustion gases reach the chimneys. Mechanical collectors separate the heavy dust particles by centrifugal force. Small particles are trapped on series of charged plates in the electrical precipitators. When the plates are rapped, the dust falls into hoppers for disposal . With cleanliness as the watchword, the Thunder Bay station, like all of Hydro's thermal-electric plants, will be a good neighbour . My doctor advised me to give up those intimate little dinners for two - unless | had one other person eating with me. Jackie Gleason.
