Much Accomplished in 1942 By Kitchener P.U. Commission 1942 was virtually a "redâ€"letter" year for the Kitchener Public Utiliâ€" tics Commission, according to ofâ€" ficials. Notable achievements were made in all three divisions of the commission â€" In the clectric section, work was completed on the new distribution system which creates new efficiency and security of service. The system, under construction for over two and a half years, was completed early last fall. It comprises five subâ€" stations equipped with the most modern apparatus. _ Placing The Right Man in The Risht Job In The Army These hidden capabilities, aside from the one he has employed in his civilian occupation, have been revealed as thousands of recruits were questionsd with a view to finding the right spot for them in Canada‘s fighting army.
