If fire doesn't start right away, it will rarely start afterward. If you notice smoldering under the hood or dashboard, don't panic. Disconnect the battery (be. careful not to let the hot wire hit metal and cause sparks), locate the fire and attack it with a fire extinguisher, dirt or a blanket. When you telephone the Police to report a traffic accident they will usually ask the following basic questions: Location; are there any injuries; is an ambulance required;. your name and address. ENERGY BOARD HEARINGS END The Ontario Energy Board's review of Ontario Hydro policies and practices finally came to an end in Toronto Wednesday, August I4th, after more than six months of public hearings spread over eight months, starting last January 2I. Hydro counsel Pierre Genest summarized the dilemma faced by the large public utility. He said "In endeavoring to supply low cost pow -er, Hydro must live within constraints that are imposed by contemporary conditions. It faces the necessity of financing a very sub- stantial expansion program which it judges nec- essary to meet the demands of the people of On- tario for power in the decades ahead." He said, "It faces the necessity of doing that at a time of unprecedented inflation in all sectors of the economy and in particular in fuel prices, manpower costs and material costs; at a time when capital shortages are be ---coming more acute and at a time when concern relating to the environment and the impact of operations such as Hydro's on the quality of life are also becoming more acute." Mr. Genest said Hydro is bound by law to re- cover its costs from its customers. It has no choice but to pass on to the customer the in- creases in the costs of its operations. The hearings were in three phases: Phase One reviewed Hydrc's $I6 billion expansion program; Phase Two dealt with Hydro's financial policies and objectives and the last phase dealt with Hydro's proposal for a I5 per cent rate increa- se in 1975. In his closing argument, Mr. Genest vigor- ously attacked statements made two days earlier by Robert W. Macaulay, Board counsel and a for- mer Minister of Energy and Resources, concern- ing what he described as Hydro's attitude to- wards inflation. continued page II s.ivescins TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN CREAR RETR, THE TORONTO SJ] synpicATE At seven, a boy is rather young to be choosing a career but anyone familiar with the theatre will feel Tommy should be an actor.
