Don't
just paint your
house.
Draught-proof it.
Valuable heat escapes from a home around doors
and windows, through narrow gaps where
window and door frames are set into the wall, and
where glass is loose in the frame.
Well-fitting storms and weatherstrip, caulking compound,
and fresh putty will all help to draught-proof your hoUse. '
You'll be stopping leaks that may account
for 25% or more of the heat lost from an otherwise
well-insulated home ... so you'll be improying
comfort, and conserving
energy, too.
DID YOU KNOW . . .
That the average residential customer in
Ontario consumes 750 Kilowatt hours of

Church ,news
On the seventh Sunday after
Trinity Rev, John Holland spoke
of the oneness of the total
Christian Church in spite of the
differences in doctrine, He voiced
the wish that the world might live
in the unity of the Olympia with
the glow of universal goodwill, in
spite of the political undertones.
Even those who did not win a
medal, while, patios having a
sense of "heaviness" would know
that, like Paul, they had"fought
the good fight, finished the race
and kept the faith". These are the
youngsters who will be the future
leaders in all phases of humanity
in the year 2,000.
Flames from the garage quick- scorching the outside of the
ly engulfed the rear of the house, building severely. But it was
the heat and the flames that
reached the attic via the overhang
on the southv side of the house
that did the most damage. Fire-
men were working to douse the
fire in the garage and keep the
house wet. However, smoke com-
ing from under the shingles on
the roof prompted firemen to go
up' on the roof, knock holes in
the roof and tight the fire from up
top.
Shortly before this point, the
Dashwood fire truck was called
a
Sewer Schedule •
out six months
Grand Bend reeve Bob Sharen
is optimistic that the village's
$3.8 million sewage system will
only be off schedule by about six
months.
The final design study ,is now
underway. Construction was
delayed by the province for one
-year due to spending restraints.
Sharen continued, "I see the
delay as being much shorter than
first thought." The London engineering firm of
M, M. Dillon and Company have
told council they would continue
with preparations for the final
design while awaiting funding
from the province.
The Grand Bend reeve com-
mented on the costs of the sewage
program, "Since the government
has reduced some proposed
sewer programs, those
remaining are being tendered for
at much less than anticipated."

Mrs. Wesley' Atkinson was
honored on her 80th birthday last
Sunday, when her family, friends
and neighbors gathered at her
1 home for an "Open 1 House",
Greetings were received from
Robert E. McKinley, M.P.
Mr, Cliff Law, Dearness Home,
spent Wednesday and Thursday
with his sister, Mrs. M. H.
Hodgins,
Mrs. Jack Murdy and Mrs, Jim
McIntosh have returned from a
circle tour through Michigan and
Northern Ontario.
Guests with Mrs. Jack Murdy
included Mrs. Elma Price of
McCormick _Home and Mr. &
Mrs. Ed Morris and family of Mt.
Forest for the weekend leaving
Sandra and Susanne with their
grandmother for a few weeks,
in and they hooked up to another
hydrant. Men were trying to
salvage some clothing and furni-
ture but a collapse pf something
or an explosion sent everyone
scurrying out, of the building.
Only after some time did anyone
else enter the house with proper
gear and air packs.
When the aluminum under-
hang was torn away on the south
side of the house it revealed burnt
timbers, and flames which were
causing the damage in the attic..
When firemen could reach that
area effectively with their hoses
the fire seemed to be under
control.
There were no serious injuries
reported, although one man, Ron
Clark was taken to Exeter Hospit-
al to be treated for smoke inhala-
tion and was kept overnight for
observation.

additional'help
Exeter works superintendent
Glenn Kells was given permis-
sion this week to hire part-time
help as he sees fit during the
balance of the month.

that the staff was depleted for
the month due to employee
holidays, as well as the fact one
man is undergoing medical treat-
ment and is able to work only
half time,
Kells said' that while
employees attempted to stagger
their holidays, it was difficult
with four members of the•depart-
ment now receiving four weeks'
holiday.
Mayor Bruce Shaw wondered
if someone from the RAP staff
could be engaged to assist, but it
was opined by other members of
council that they would still be
busy with park work.
