The real problefirS 'often a• lack of good' insulation and Weather protection: At their November meeting on Monday the Huron County Board of Education agreed to support a recommendaticin from R. P. Ritter, principal of F. E . Madill Secondary School Wingham, that a •one year agreement be drawn up-between the Board and the school's cafeteria operator. The recommendation came following informal discussions with the operator who had indicated that he did not wish to enter into another long term- - agreement. A five year agreement is just ending. The new contract will cover the time period of November 15, 1976 to November 14, 1977. Director of Education D. J. Cochrane pointed .out that the wingham .cafeteria operator was one of a few remaining operators still working under a long term agreement. . Most agreements now simply call for one months notification or termination by either party. Following approval of a date change for a . Professional Development Day at South Huron District High School th director of Education asked that in future all school principals pla "further ahead and make all change& before the Board su snits its calendar of events *th the Ministry."

In time, the inside becomes black — coated with soot. Since soo.t is a good insulator, heat on the inside of the can is restricted from flowing outside. The same thing happens inside your furnace. Where does the trapped heat go? Up the chimney instead of into your home. Cleaning the inside of your furnace takes about an hour and can cut your fuel bil by as much as 10 per cent. 1' Can Candle all exterior doors shill be' weatherstripped & caulked 'use- with radiant ceiling cable- with baseboard or forced air (;) if ceiling cable used, Install Insulation bet. heated areas it over ventedand/or unheated areas use 11 6 .97M rade ,Wr use [e all glass areas shall be stormed or double glazed & caulked basement in overhang to 24" below grade, if basement wail hely exposed note: use() in Interior walla adjoining area unheated GARAGE (unheated) 9.
