WE CAN'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED ANYMOR
Recent events in the Middle East have underlined just how
essential a dependable supply of energy is to the way we live •
Present indications are that supplies of imported crude oil
in Eastern Canada are barely sufficient to meet demand.
,,If we can't maintain imports, real shortages of gasoline
and heating oil could occur here in Ontario.
But uncertain import supply isn't our only concern.
Canada's own oil and gas supplies are being depleted,,
and cannot be renewed.
To make sure we have enough energy for the future, and to
'give us time to develop alternative energy sources, we must
make the best use of the sources we have now.
Nobody has the right to waste fuel, or any other form of
energy, The time has come to take a good, hard look at the
way we use energy, and to use it wisely.
Good energy habits learned now, especially by Our children,
will'bring us comfortably through the winter, and pay off
in "years to come.. Let's get to work,
