A smorgasbord supper was convened by the table committee Grant and Velma Gowanlock and George and Jean Stevenson. Lorna Ferguson led in the singing of grace.

Election of officers for 1978 was held with Jim Ferguson, Sr., of St. Mary s, being selected as the new president, Bob Ostler vice- president, Jean Stevenson secretary-treasurer, and for the table committee Margaret and Joe Carter, Mary and Cliff Blanchard, and Harold and Phyllis Parsons, and in charge of sports will be Kevin and Keith Gowanlock, and Glen Ferguson, Auxiliary for their July meeting. Mrs. J, Carey welcomed the visitors and opened the worship service with a reading on the theme, friendship. The roll call was answered with a verse on friendship. Mrs. Elmer Dow and Mrs, Russell Miller of Hibbert U.C.W. presented the devotions. • A poem, Be A Friend, was sung to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic. Mrs. Floyd Stewart of Thames Road read a poem, What Do You See? See Me, referring to the thoughts of a patient in a geriatric ward of a hospital as she looks at her nurse. The president of the Marian Ritchie, Mrs. John Templeman, introduced the guest speaker, Miss Elaine Townshend, whose column appears in several weekly newspapers. Miss Townshend spoke of the han- dicapped in general, and of the work that Alpha-Huron is carrying out in the local com- munities. The main purpose of the ALPHA organization is to help the disabled adults to integrate into the community. To do this, we have to recognize the han- dicapped as people with the same needs as everyone else, Even though they have no legs, many disabled adults enjoy hockey games, so Alpha-Huron writes letters so that ramps, cut curbs, elevators, etc., can be in- corporated into the new arenas now - when they are being built. Bell Telephone is co-operating by including one low pay telephone in their new phone layouts so that people in wheel chairs and people like Elaine, who is short, and who skilfully uses her feet as hands, can phone for taxis at airports, etc. The handicapped would like to be more independent, not having to he always asking for help. In her suggestions of ways to help, Miss Townshend said "Recognize the handicapped as a person with the same needs as everyone else; keep your eyes and ears open for ways to make facilities more useable by the handicapped; join Alpha-Huron," The offering, which was received by the ushers, Mrs. Norman Harburn, Mrs. Duncan Scott, Mrs. Lloyd Miller, and Mrs. Robert Laing, was donated to the work of Alpha-Huron. Mrs. Sheldon Ward and Mrs, Frank Ward, Monkton sang two duets.. During a social hour, the guests were entertained_py Mrs. Bruce Cann of Exetdr who sang Friendship of Jesus, and Every Moment of Every Day, ac- companied by her daughter Christina.

Estimates may vary as to exactly when the energy crunch will come, but experts believe that within a very few years Ontario will be unable to meet its needs with domestic 'oil. The Arab oil embargo and the natural gas shortage in the Eastern United States last winter showed all too clearly that the lifestyle which we have enjoyed for years must change. We cannot continue to squander our energy resources. Clearly industrial and domestic consumers can anticipate that prices will continue to rise. It would seem to be almost im- possible to resist the inevitable climb to world prices, A short- sighted approach to this matter can endanger jobs and threaten the competitiveness of Ontario's economy, Without preparation and planning, a shift,to world oil prices will have a particularly severe impact on industrialized Ontario, The energy policies of this province need new direction if we are to have any chance of overcoming the serious energy supply and cost problems which face us. Ontario Hydro is vir- tually out of control. In January 1976 rates went up 22 percent; in January 1977 they rose a further 30.3 percent; and next year's projected increase is another 11.3 percent. Since 197.1., Ontario Hydro's budget has tripled, and its long- term debt is up by 153 percent. Hydro's average rate to residential users has shot up by 81.5 percent over the last six years. We, in the Liberal Party, believe that the Hydro rate structure should be changed. The present system actually en- courages high energy con- sumption by lowering the unit rate charged as consumption rises. 11 the rate structure were to be reversed, this would ,en- courage energy conservation. The modest consumer would pay less, which is particularly im- portant for people on low or fixed incomes. Residential consumers would have a strong financial Karen Heywood, Janice Camp- bell, Cathy Cottle.

Crediton 234.6382 incentive to reduce high con- sumption rates and undertake essential conservation measures. Last year, Liberal M.P.P. Eddie Sargent introduced a Private Member's 'Bill to amend the Power Corporation Act, establishing a minimum basic charge for electric power sup- plied to residential premises. Such a "lifeline rate" for basic family electricity needs would cover hydro used for lighting, refrigeration, and so on. People using reasonable amounts of electricity would have com- paratively low hydro bills. Those who use more than the minimum amount would pay progressively more as consumption increases. California and Maine have already adopted this concept of.a minimum basic' user, charge. for residential customers, and New York is considering similar legislation. Already skyrocketing energy costs cut deeply into Ontario homeowner's budgets. About 20 percent of the province's tOtal energy consumption is used to heat homes, and for the vast majority of homeowners, growing energy costs have.far out-paced wage increaseS; For young people just embarking upon home ownership;.`and for senior citizens struggling .to maintain their homes„ .riiing costs have represented par- ticularly serious financial bur- dens. One of the best methods of effecting a reduction in energy costs is to improve home in- sulatiOn. It is for this reason that we proposed, during the recent election campaign, the initiation Of a province-wide programme of home insulation to bring every single family dwelling in Ontario up to modern insulation stan- dards within a period of seven years. It has been estimated by experts that the cost of such insulation would be fully recovered - even assuming no further energy price increases - in 5 to 7 years. This measure alone would save 36 percent on our residential heating bills - more than $412 million annually. A further benefit of such an insulation programme is that it is labour intensive, Some 150,000 man years of work would be created, at about the $15,000 a year. level. • • • .• • ". At present, the Ontario Building code is silent• with respect to energy efficiency requirements of heating, plumbing and air-conditioning equipment. Some form of Energy Conservation Code could be enacted, setting minimum standardi for r,,tw buildings and reasonable targets for existing structures. Possibly some form of certification could be devised - to recognize homes of high "energy efficiency - in insulation, heating and appliances. This type of certification could be an im- portant factor in buying and selling homes. • Consideration must be given to new sources of energy supply, and I will have more to say about this in my next report. :1111111111,111111111111111111101IIIMIUMIIMIM: ADAMS Heating & Cooling •j: 1-ieatilinTgypSeyss,tems :s: of A INSTALLED, MODERNIZED and MAINTAINED • Gee 'Work rai heet Metal • Air Conditioning! • Humidifiers • Ventilation 235-2187 E 133 Huron St., East, Exeter F. tin). es4dvocate, Aagykt 4, 977 fog. 1 Heywood clan unite for picnic in Exeter
