If you use electricity — and I know of no one in Canadian who does
not - you should be urging your City Commissioners to make a
decision on our power problems. For more than two years the City s
governmental body has gone round and round in a debate about how
to provide adequate power for our growing community. We seem no
closer to a solution now than when the question first arose.
And, lest you think that this is no concern of yours, and that you
can ignore the problem, let me assure you that you are wrong. It is
oar problem, yours and mine, and one which is not going away.
Review your day and realize that from the moment you looked at
your digital clock this morning, until now when you are probably
reading this newspaper by artificial light, electricity has been vital to
nearly every action you have taken. You shaved or put on make-up by
electric light; your coffee and toast, or the breakfast you ate at a
restaurant, required electricity for their preparation. The central heat
in your home and business was triggered by an electric thermostat. In
your office or business lights and electric machines were in use all
day.
On the home front laundering, cleaning, sewing, food preparation,
all the daily activities, required electricity. And you are probably
looking forward to an evening of televiewing, good reading or
listening to your stereo — all of which depend on electric power.
Only those who have been without electricity for a length of time
can fully appreciate how vital it is in every facet of our daily lives. But
with a little imagination any of us can envisage our world without this
power source.
At present the City of Canadian is buying supplemental power from
outside sources because we have outgrown the capacity of our
City-owned power plant. These arrangements are temporary and
stop-gap.
To ensure an adequate power supply for this growing community
we must take positive, firm steps now.
The City Council knows the alternatives available to us —
expanding the present power plant, or contracting with an existing
power supplier to meet our needs. But the decision must be made
now, before we wake up some morning power-less, both literally and
figuratively.
The City Commission will be meeting next Monday night. January
14, at 7 o'clock, in the City Council room upstairs in the City Hall. If
you have not voiced your concern before then to your Commissioners
and Mayor it will be an excellent opportunity to do so.

Just before Christmas, acting on a book review from a Dallas
newspaper, I indulged myself with the purchase of A Food Lover's
Companion, selected and edited by Evan Jones. This is a compilation
of quotations from many writers, from ancient times to modern,
concerning food, its selection, preparation and enjoyment. It has
proved to be delightful reading, the sort of thing which you can pick
up and read briefly, or at length, always with pleasure.
One little piece educated me to the source of the phrase "sub
rosa", which is commonly used, but of which 1 had not known the
origin. Quoting from Frederick W. Hack wood, my book tells me that
"The confidences of the dinner table are to be held inviolable — the
Romans placed a vase of roses in the center of the table as an emblem
of silence, to signify that what was heard 'sub rosa' (' under the rose')
was not to be lightly repeated elsewhere".
Anyone who enjoys preparing food or eating it, will find A Food
Lover's Companion a pleasure. Lilree Jackson at In the Moody made
it available to me, and will do the same for you, I'm sure.
