The County is threatened with a deficit of several million tons. Railroads which consume 30 per cent of the Dominion’s coal supplies can­ not be expected to lower their fuel requirements except to the extent that they employ their own conser­ vation methods. Nor can the Govern­ ment hold back deliveries to such important users as ships which need 4 per cent of the supply, and coal mines themselves which require 3 per cent of the supply to produce more coal. Then again 13 per cent of our coal reserves are needed to manufacture coke, the basic fuel for steel production. Another 3 0 per cent is earmarked for industrial, commercial, and other establish­ ments, the majority of which will be asked to co-operate in reducing fuel consumption. About half of the shortage will have to ated by householders who to save one ton in five, endangering their health ing serious discomfort, they can con­ serve many thousand tons if they winterize their homes immediately. The following suggestion will help to keep the home fires burning without wastage of heat and fuel: Have the house thoroughly inspected for heat­ ing and insulation defects. Clean the pipes and the furnace. See that grates are in perfect order. Insulate the heating system when necessary. Install storm windows. Putty all loose panes* Caulking around doors, windows, and in wall fissures will help save much fuel. A great deal more can be saved by having the home properly insulated. You should learn also to fire your furnace properly, until the just cool. be allevi- are asked Without nor caus- t DESJARDINE—jennison A quiet wedding took place at the Main Street United Church parsonage Wednesday afternoon at two o’clock when Miss Leila Pearl, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Jentaison and Chester Henry Desjardine, son of Mr. and Mrs. Placid Desjardine, all of Stephen township, were united in marriage.
