Hydro's refusaI to look at . alternative methods of less costly production is typical of beaurocratic thinking that bigness is better. Sir Adam Bcck- Father of Onitatio H-ydro founded hydro on water power, the chepest of' ail sources and the basis for Ontario's early pros- perity and industrial growth. In April of this year President Carter asked the Army Corps of engineers to look around the coun- try and find out how many small dams could be rigged up to produce electricity.

Ontario 11R 1R4 a problem Whitby's jail will he over 20 years old nexi yeiar, and already it is suffering from overcrowding. When it was bujît in 1958, the jail was designed to accommodate 58 male and six female prisoners, but in early October there were 130 inmates in the building. Some werc serving short-terni sentences and others were a waiting trial or bail hearings. The jail guards have ex- pressed concern that thcre are ai limes, 40 inmates for each correctional officer, and early this year a nurnber of the guards booked off sick over a number of internaI administrative problerns. *Since that lime, two guards have been posted forý every 40 prisoners, but there is still concern about over- crowding. This, spring, a dorin- ltory area which originally had cighit bcds, had bunk beds installcd, so that 1 6 mnen could bc accomnîodated. The short-terrni prison- ers, scrvinig limie for up to 30 days, are hcld in the dormii- tory, sincc thcy are not con- sidered a security risk, but there is concern tuit îlot etiougli is known about thein by the custodians or police. An officiaI of the Ontario Ministry of Corrcc- tional Services has said that thie rninistry is aware of thc problems at the Whitby jail, but iînprovements depend on funding, planning and design, which mnay flot be known tilI the end of the year. The Ministry would like to have space for 80 more niales and 10 females, but il is not yet known whether tils wouîd involve an auuî- tion to the existing building or a separate structure.
