Many people, like the author quoted earlier. would define pro- gress in terms of material bene- fits. They would have in any obvious reasons for doing so.

For more than 80 years, progress enjoyed by all people can be attributed to electrical p o w e r. Without it nations are undeveloped. with it. they have the key to self improvement.

Like the climbers it all de- pends on your point 0': view. COME LONG WAY i

But regardless of point of view, electricity has come long way in the past six decad- es and so has acceptance of its benefits. Regardless of point of view, the fact is that electricity can take credit for helping in practically every field of man‘s endeavour.

There is no other industry. no other business. no field of hu- man enterprise that has exerted greater influence on our way of life than the electrical industry.

That is why during National Electrical Week. tribute is paid to the pioneers of this industry.

Electrical power is vital to our country. Only three nations- in the world —the United Stat- es, Russia and the United King- dom produce more power than Canada. and they have from three to 14 times our population. Only one nation in the world- and that is Norway— uses more electrical energy on a per cap- ita basis.

And this has always been the way. When the first elecnic mot- or was introduced in a Toronto coffee shop to grind coffee, on irate minister described it as an implement of the devil. He may have been right at that. for it ran out of control and e poor merchant bed to grind everything he could find to prec vent it from heating up while somebody ran to find how to shut it off.

The minister said it would free domestics from honest toil to walk the streets. And taking a cue from his remarks. a group of housewives tnied to prevent home electricity be- cause female domestics working only 14 or 15 hours a day would face temptation. .
