Ontario Provincial Police will enforce the regulation lowering the speed limits "as part of their normal enforcement procedures," said Roland Devereux, assistant commis- sioner of the Traffic Division. "We will continue to apply enforcement in areas of high collision experience primarily, in an effort to reduce the severity ! ratio of accidents," he said. Melville has pot luck meal Proper wood keeps fires burning Bray Chiropractic Office Effective Monday, February 2, Ontario drivers will be expected to obey lowered speed limits on all freeways and King's Highways, Minister of Trans- portation and Communications James Snow has announced. A new regulation reduced the speed limits on provincial freeways from 70 mph to 60 mph and on the King's Highway system from 60 and 55 mph to 50 mph for all vehicles. The only exceptions are freeways now signed at 60 mph which will remain the same; More and more families ; are. turning to wood as a source of heat or a supplement to electric, oil or gas heating as energy prices increase and strict conservation of conventiOnal fuels becomes necessary. Wood, on the other hand, is a renewable resource, does not create pollution problems and has a nostalgic appeal. The first step in creating a cozy fireplace fire is the selection of the most suitable wood. Each species has special characteristics and a special appeal according to one's particular taste. The first consideration is availability of supply since it also affects cost. From a practical viewpoint it is best to use locally cut wood. Ideally, it should be well seasoned and dry, cut six months or a year prior to use. If you buy it green, stack it in the opeh so air can circulate or store it in the garage. As a general rule, softwoods— those from coniferous trees — such as cedar, fir, larch, pine and spruce, are easier to start than hardwoods, includirig fruitwoods. Softwoods, however, tend to produce more smoke . than hardwoods and also to spark more abundantly. Softwoods also burn faster than hardwoods or , fruitwoods. Lightweight woods burn faster than heavyweight woods. Among the slow burners are apple, hickory and locust. Flaming ability is closely re-related to burning rate. Fast burning woods, the softwoods, will produce more flames than slow burning. Heat Value The heat value of different species varies widely. For example, in order to get the same output as from a stack of hickory, you would need about ,2Q, per cent more oak, 40 per cent more maple and nearly twice as much pine. Generally, heavy hardwoods,, such as beech, hickory; locust and maple will • produce very little smoke. Woods such as birch, chestnut, balsam, fir, larch, poplar and spruce tend to generate heavy sparks. Wood that will develop a deep bed of coals is much in demand. Woods with excellent dealing' chracteristics include apple, cherry, hickory ; maple and oak. Those with poor coaling qualities r Highway .17 from the Manitoba " boundary to the Quebec boundary and Highway 11 between North Bay and Rainy River, which will be reduced to 55 mph. Signs will be changed by MTC district personnel by applying the new speed conversion overlay, 21 inches by 14 inches, over existing signs on February 2, weather permitting. While the regulation for the lower speed limits becomes effective February 1 - a Sunday - sign changeovers will begin Monday, February 2. Mr. Snow inclUde basswood, cedar, pine, • poplar and willow. Best fragrance For the best fragrance, use fruitwoods — apple, cherry or pear., Pine cones when placed on a bed of hardwoods also create a pleasant aroma. All wood species leave a low ash residue, which can be used to bank the fire overnight. Ashes also-make an excellent fertilizer. Most woods burn with a yellow flame. Applewood has a rainbow- coloured flame while driftwood Melville Guild met in the church parlour on January 20th. This first meeting of the year began with a pot-luck supper. Mrs. Leona Armstrong and Mrs. Isobel Gibson were in charge of devotions. Isobel opened this part with a prayer The hymn, "Standing at the Portal of the opening year" was sung, with Mrs. Wilma Hemingway at the piano. Leanne Armstrong favoured the group with several tap dance numbers. The last chapter of "Revelations" was read, followed by prayer and two short poems by Mrs.Armstrong who gave an inspiring topic on theNew Year. Mrs. Gibson read a poem and hymn "Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us" was sung, followed by the Mizpah Benediction. Mrs. wry McCutcheon, presided for a short business• period. Minutes of the December meeting were read by Isobel Adams and adopted - also the treasurer's report by Mrs, Rose Marie Bishop and the Sunshine report by Mrs. Winnifred Edgar. Several cards of thanks were read. Mrs. Armstrong offered to type the programmes for the year. The roll call was responded to by paying fees for meber- ship. ' . It was decided to have a bee to clean the kitchen and cupboards at a later date. After some minor discussion on several topics an interesting meeting was 'adjourned. will produce a blue and lavender flame. Chemicals can be added to create flame colours. In summary, the factors to consider in • firewood selection are: availability, seasoning and dryness, , burning rate, flaming ability, amount of heat, ease of starting, sparking tendency, smoke, coaling qualities, fragrance, ash residue, and flame colour..
