Electricity For Orkney

I View of the great importance of niral electrification, now under discussion in the Legislature, the following‘ information on. a scheme to supply the mainland of Orkney, ‘as published by the North of Scotland Hydro- Electric Boarda \vill be read with interest. It is the Board's Distribution Scheme No. 6, and will cover an area of 183 square miles, com- prising the whole of the Orkney Mainland with the exception of pirts of the parishes of Kirkwall and St. Ola, which are already sup- plied by the Kirkwall Tdwn Council Electricity Undertaking.

Excluding the Kirkwall district, the popu- lation of the Mainland is approximately 10,000 and the Board's present scheme will make elec- tricity available to about 65 per cent. Exten- lions will be carried out at a later date as and when circumstances permit.

The water power resources of Orkney are limited. A small water power scheme based on a chain of lochs in the north of the Mainland is under consideration. But to enable supplies to be given as soon as possible, electricity will be generated by diesel plant which may be instal- led at the existing generating station at Kirk- wall. a

It is proposed to carry out the scheme of electricity distribution in the Mainland in three stages. '

The first stage, which the Board hope to have completed by the end of I946, if tlie 118C- essary labour and materials are obtained, is a high voltage line running north-westwards from

"Kirkwall past the Bay of "Firth to Finstown,

and thence via Tormiston and Clouston to Stromness.

In the second stage two further high volt- 1g: lines will be provided. One line will run from 'l‘ormiston to Dounby and Grecnay to supply the northern distiicts east and_ north of the Loch of Harray. The other line will be taken south-east from Kirkwall through St. Andrews, branching to supply Dcerncss and the south of Hohn, terminating at St. Mary's.

The third stage is a line encircling the north of the Island. It will run roughly parallel to

I the coast; from Stroiimcss nOrth to near Brouflll

11cm], anti round past liyuhallow Sound and Widt- liirth back to Finstcnvii.

For the time bciiig, the tariff proposed for Orkney is approximately the equivalent of 6d per unit for lighting and Id to %d per umtfl" heating and power. This tariff is slightly high- er than that proposed for areas in which all the electricity can be obtained from water power, because oil cngipe stations cost more. to run than water power stations. Consumers within reason- able distance of the distribution mains will have electricity conncctctl to their houses frcc 0i

“Long How's And Hard Work"

In a’ recent address iiiadc at the Coiinecti- cut State Medical Society, Dr. Frank Lahcy said: “There is no substitute for long hours and hard work. I think it is a misfortune that there is a tendency. it seems to me, to overlook the fact that long hours and hard work are the things that have built our characters and the characters‘ of our parents."

The statement, says the‘ Ottawa Jvitrfldl, appears strange in these days when the de- niand is for shorter hours. shorter weeks, and lighter occupation. Yet many men and women of the older generation will testify that they yore happiest when they had most to do- Hlfll work whether physical or mental has ,_ma_ny compensations People who are fully OCCUPWl rarely suffer from the curse of boredom. “More

l \time for recreation” is a questionable slogan.

cannot fill the vast rich and empty space of Can- ada ourselves it will be folly to imagine that 511¢l1 an attractive vacuum will always remain closed while a great part of the globe is intolerably congested, Nor can we make to the general welfare of the world the kind of contribution we have always hoped to make if we are per- manently doomed to be s nation of minor num- bers.

It may be, of course, that the present repro- ductive capacity of our people will increase and to increase it must be one of the cardinal ob- jedives of all public policy. That, indeed, is perhaps the paramount problem of nearly all the western nations, though many lesser prob- lems generally occupy the public mind.

There is to be no hydro-electric for the Is- land after all. In this respect, we would be following the example of Scotland where it has been decided to rural electrify Orkney by die- sel engines, there not being sufficient water- power on, the Island to make hydration prac- ticable. Under the diesel project, light will cost 12c per unit, and power 1 1-2 cents.

F ellpw feeling makes us wondrous kind. Mrs, V. A. Mills, a British war bride of a British Columbia serviceman, passenger in the Scytliia, which recently sailed from Belfast after three daysin clock for repairs, had to leave the ship to be taken to a maternity hospital. Other \vives, among the 800 Canadian servicemens’ depend- ants aboard, passed the hat—and subscribed $500 for Mrs. Mills’ hospital and living ex- pensec. in a a- a It will interest nOt a few here to learn that Wing-Commander E.
