ONTARIO HYDRO A new View to Lakeview Ontario Hydro is looking at the possibility of refurbishing the 25â€"yearâ€"old Lakeview coal-fired generating station in Mississauga and extending its service life to thc year 2006. The study, to be completed by 1988, will determine the cost effectiveness of spending up to $300 million to rehabilitate the 2.400 megawatt station. Enggy idea book It's not on the New York Times bestseller list yet, but a new manual of energy savings tips is making a big hit with builders and architects this year. Ontario Hydro has produced a 750-page catalogue of ideas for saving money and energy through schemes like special lighting, ventilation and thermal storage in building construction. Copies of the manual, which is nicknamed "The Source", can be obtained by contacting any Ontario Hydro area office. Lambton station passes the test An Ontario Research Foundation study released this month has given the Lambton coalâ€"fired generating station in Sarnia a clean bill of health. The study says that ground level concentrations of station emissions are well below one per cent of those permitted by the Ministry of the Environment. Small wer uceis M21132 Higher purchase rates and a new financing option from Ontario Hydro should encourage the development of new renewable sources of generation this year. In January, the rates for small electricity producers increased from 3.45 to 3.6 cents a kilowatt-hour for producers who supply power at least 65 per cent of the time. Developers also have the option of making installment payments to Ontario Hydro for protective equipment needed to connect their stations to the provincial power grid.

NORTH LEEDS LANTERN 23 JEMIMA'S GARDEN Two memories of my visit to England last fall are reinforced every time I look at my pictures. The first is the profusion of flowers everywhere. Every home, every business, large or small, seemed to have its share of flowers. The display might have been in beautifully maintained large estate grounds or a border along a cottager's garden wall, or a tiny raised bed next to a fisherman's house â€" if there wasn't any earth available there would be flowers in pots of all sizes. And this is the second point I remember - the large number of pots, all sizes, with flowers planted in them. Places where there was not room for a flower bed might have a huge old lead tub overflowing with fuschias or geraniums, or perhaps a row of ordinary clay pots or half~barrels full of blossom. What I found so fascinating was that both flower beds and flower containers were used in profusion at the same site â€" that is, flower beds, window boxes, pots on doorâ€"steps, up flights of stairs, hanging baskets, pots on ledges of every kind 7 over doorâ€"frames, over windows, ledges at second storeys, shed roofs and any conceivable spot that a flower pot could be placed. I realize that English weather is more conducive to container growing than our scorching summers, but I think people in the Mediterranean countries I use pots freely and it =REALESYATEU‘D must be hot there. Wouldn't ELECTRIC it be lovely if we could each grow a few more flowers in both flower beds and containers? REALTOR Electrical Contractor 0 Residential 0 Commercial 0 RR. #2, Elgin Phone M.
