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," Exeter Office 235-2420 Grand Bend Office 238-8484 cAtipET $495 AND UP CHECK THE VALUES AT Best interest We represent many Trust Companies.

Grand Bend Cleaners and Launderers Exeter 235-0360 Grand Bend 238-2481 Mitchell 348-9422 Cheryl-Ann Grand Bend OPEN This Sunday Noon - 6 p.m. 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."

CECIL DESJARDINE Reeve of Stephen Township 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.
