for the project was done in 1968,
however lack of municipal
support called a halt to further
work. After many complaints
from owners, "their back yards
and in some cases buildings were
falling into the river," said Mr.
Pearson, a second study was
completed in 1976.
"I understand there is still one
owner who has not officially
signed the request," said Mr.
Pearson, "but we don't foresee
any problems,"

41, Different method to
provide home heating
Stephen township farmer Allan
Walper is one of several
residents in Western Ontario tak-
ing advantage of the opportunity
to provide at least some of his
home's heating requirements
with a solar heat installation.
Walper's glass collector is
built adjacent to his concession
22 home and provides the south
wall of a shed which he will use
to house his car.
The Stephen farmer said there
were three reasons which
prompted him to think about
building a solar heating system.
He told the T-A, "First of all I
read a lot about the system and
talked to Carl Pepper at Granton
who built one of the first in the
area. Next I took into considera-
tion the fact our present furnace
had given up the ghost and I
needed a shed for a car and
storage purposes.
He continued, "It's surprising
how much heat the system
provides. Right now we have a
wood stove in the front room and
an airconditioner for a bit of heat
in the back part but the solar
system provides a good portion
of the heat we require." •
The glass collector is 40 feet by
• 20 feet and is placed at an angle
of 10 degrees west of south and a
slope of 59 degrees. The glass is
five millimeters thick.
Walper explained about the
glass, "Ordinary window glass
would be suffident but we
thought we would make it a little
heavier to stand up in case of a
hail storm.
The water is stored in 3,500
gallon tanks constructed by
Russell Desjardine of Grand
Bend. Walper was assisted in the
carpentry work by Ernie Miller.
Behind the glass is three and a
half inches of insulation and then
a covering of galvanized steel.
On a sunny day, Wainer says
the water comes into the tanks at
over 100 degrees. When the
collector is nine degrees warmer
than the water in the tank the
pump begins to operate the
system.
As for cost of building the
system Allan Wainer said, "My
actual cost for the heating
system and the shed was about
$6,000. The solar system alone
would be less than half of that,
Carl Pepper claimg his cost
about $1,200,"
Walper concluded, "The
system will be of advantage to
me as long as the water is
warmer than the outside
temperature."

Bell hopes
disappear
Bell Aerospace's hopes for a
$1.25 million government con-
tract were dashed Monday when
the Treasury Board turned down
the Coast Guard's request for a
new Voyageur.
"This decision came at a
critical time for us," said
Aerospace manager Jim Mills,
"because at the end of this month
I have to make further cutbacks
if no new work orders come in."
The Treasury Board's an-
nouncement surprised Mr. Mills
because the request for the new
air cushioned vehicle was
recommended by both the Coast
Guard and the Department of
Industry and Trade, The treasury
board did, however, authorize the
Coast Guard to purchase a
smaller, British vehicle.
"I can only assume the Coast
Guard could justify the purchase
of the smaller British unit but not
the Voyageur," said Mr. Mills.
The British SRN6 is similar to
the Voyageur but smaller and has
a single propeller. The cost of the
two units are "about the same"
said Mr. Mills,
Although the news Monday
puts Bell Aerospace back at
"square one", it doesn't mean the
plant will close, Mr. Mills will be
going to Ottawa this week to
plead his case again.
"We're not just going to sit
around wishing and hoping," he
said, "We're going to get to work
and put this operation back in
business,"
The government's fiscal year
ends March 31 and there are
indications that more money will
be available for the purchase of a
Voyageur next budget period,
Bell Aerospace has been told
repeatedly there is a need by the
government for more of their
vehicles but how many and when
remains an unanswered question.
In the meantime, the Grand
Bend plant will have to reduce
the number of employees again.
Presently there are 26 staff, a far
cry from the several hundred
employees working during the
plant's peal production period •
several years ago.

Sister of area ladies passes
After more than 10 years of
waiting and two engineering
studies, eight Grand Bend
property owners have finally
agreed to the installation of
gabion baskets along their
shoreline to stop soil erosion.
Grand Bend. council last week
passed a motion stating they
were the benefitting
municipality, committing $2,500
towards the erosion program.
The Ausable Conservation
Authority by law requires such a
motion to allow work to begin.
The estimated cost of the
project is $100,000. A provincial
grant will cover 75 percent of the
expenses, the Authority will
contribute approximately $2,500
and the effected property owners
are responsible for the remaining
20 percent.
Don Pearson, Authority
representative, said that work
will probably not start on Site B,
the 450 foot area across from
Manore's Marina, until next
winter because workmen find it
easier to install the baskets when
the river is frozen.
