RECONSTITUTED i1 HURON EXPOSITOR, MAY 4, 1978' ometrakeS. netgy. conservation • As the, cost' of hoSpitat care increases, a , Huron County organization offers people qualified care in their own homes. The organization is the Town and County Homemakers which -1Tas 41 members across the county: Salome C. Mallon, resident of the Family Care Workers of Ontario, :and Muriel Knight, Vice-President, visited the local organization last week to discuss the upcoming Canadian Care In the Home Conference, which will be held• in...Ottayva next month, The homemakers, an in- dependent organization in Huron County-, work with a number ofhealth and, social agencies including Family and Childrens• Services. the Canadian Cancer Society and Community and Social Services, as well as with individuals who contact he or- ganization for help in, the home. The organization's code or ethics defines family care ,workers. as those people who "help maintain and preserve a' family environment with skills in both homemaking and personal ego- when an individual's or family's physcial or mental well-being is threatened, disrupted or in the process of rehabilitation." The upcoming confernece, which is jointly sponsored by the Family Care VVorkers and the. National Health and Welfare ministry, will be attended• by a number of Huron County hOme- ropicers. Local delegates are Jean Young, Wingham, president of the group; Nelly Retronella, Clinton, developinent officer for the To"wn and, Country Home- makers; Wilma Bakel'aar, Clinton, a homemaker; Beatrice Storey, Seaforth, a homaker; Anne Thompson, Wingria.Qy‘a homemaker; Muriel Workman, Clinton, homemAer; Estelle Wise, Clinton, homemaker; and Betty' Cardno, administrator of the Seaforth Home-Care Program, who ,is attending the conference as an observer. Bev Brown and Gerry 'Zurbrigg of ,the Energy con- servation Centres, in Lucknow and Goderich, presented. a series of tips on conserving energy in and around the home. Miss Brown told the home- makers the cost of fuel in Canada is rising 12 per cent a year or doubling every six years. , She said the government realizes it can't legigate energy saving, so 150 energy centres have bar" set up . across the country to educate the public in cokserving energy and looking' at alternative sources of energy. Miss Brown said while Canada has only seven per cent of the world's population, it is using 30 rxr cent of the world's energy resources, and studies have shown, Canadians are wasting 50 per cent of the, energy they use. Both speakers invited the 'homemakers to attend the various seminars presented at the energy centre and said th6 centres hope to ogranize a bus tour of various solar-heated barns and houses yohr new pet should be from `six to twelve weeks.of age. This is the critical and formative stage in a dog's life when. he will become attached 'to' his owner and can be most easily shaped. and molilded to his 'new environment, Choosing a breed, that is compatible with your 'own personality and• lifestyle iS most important. All puppies are small, cute, cuddly and appealing • ut adult, dogs vary greatly in ,size, temperament and likeability. The advantage of buying a purebred for a pet is simply that the adult's outcome is more predictable. Finally, when making yiiur choice from a litter, choose the -healthiest, lamest and,,, most robust pup; smeller and weaket puppies tend to be slower to•train and more prone to disease, 0 In future columns, pet issues will be dealt with in more detail. You are encouraged to' forward specific questions; to Dr., Friendship, c/o, The Hiirou Ex positor_ ' 4 before obtaining a canine companion. Firstly; can you afford one? Aside froM the initial purchase price, there are the costs of food, licensing, housing, vaccinations and basic medical expenses to be considered. Obviously this list can constitute quite a sizeable investment when totalled over the years. Healthy dcigs do demand large spaces for exercise and pfay; if you live in a small apartment or a house without a yard, a dog 'may not tie the ideal -choice..—A ambled dog, especially one nd rambunctious, may avoc.

Scene I: There it sits on the breakfast table or under the tree or in the hands of the presenter at the •retire- merit party.. It's beatitiftil '- that acre of brightly coloured paper and those tricky boWs'ofribben; and inside there's usually. a box ; and inside the box there's probablY scads of tissue paper, and inside that perhaps a plastic bag — and there at last, like the cmysterions idol in the inner sanctum of the temple, sits the gift itself. "Oh•," she (he) cries, "you shouldn't have !" — Scene II (a little later):. There sits, probably scre• wed up into a handy ball now — the bright wrapper, the ribbon, the tissue; the plastic bag, with the flattened box inside it — =already forgotten in the garbage can. But who's„Saying "Oh, you shouldn't have!" now? It's a shafne to spoil the party 'by talking' about waste. But does it really spoil the party? Or-have, we been oversold on the need to impress each other with all the tinsel, when what counts is the gift inside and the' affection that' it •, represents?, , • Mayle we don't want to go so far as trying• to hold , • • unwramed gifts behind our backsurftil the last second, or telling auntie to look tinder the chesterfield for a surprise. But surely we could do 'a bit lesS wrapping without making life, unbearably dull; and then make sure that the wrapping, after its brief•but merry life, doesn't go into the municipal._ incinerator. Of course, we're up against some pretty strong forces. This' is the age of . super-packaging. It's not eagjt to buy' anything, 'even small items like make-up or, razor blades, • without bringing home .(and paying for) some eye-catching display eatd 'or' mount or container that we usually have no earthly use for. Prepared foods and. household products are particularly striking examples of packaging gone%wild', because 'they're competing with, one another on super. market shelves. And we all know where the fancy package ends up. • Does it really matter? 'Unfortunately it does, because • thisiS how we throw away money, resources and energy — none 'of -which we earl afford to lose — on essentially trivial purposes. The money and resources are obvious, but the energy waste is something we don't;see:.it's the energy used in produding and transporting the paper and plastic and wood and metal and glass that are quickly di carded and. disappear with a crunch into• the jaws of the garbage truck. And' speaking of garbage trucks, they run on energy toe, and's° do the landfill and incinerator operations that the trucks feed. - . . - - This isn't peanuts. More than one-third ,of the garbage . coming from Canadian homes is packaging material, and it's • getting worse. One thing we can do to slow', the pace of destruction is to buy things that come without„a lot of built-in garbage. We can shop. at places where they pack goods in simple bags or reusable containers. We can set aside the materials, like paper. and glass, that can be recycled. We can put pressure on local authorities to have these ' materials collected separately; if they are not doing so already. And we can keep a closer watch on our,own wrapping habits. There are so many ways to fight back, and the best way to start is by reading The garbage book, obtainable from Box 3500, Station C, Ottawa, Ontario, K I Y 401.
