T-A photo Look who's stealing your electricity • •-• Heavy dust on your refrigerator coils makes it work harder to keep its cool. An occasional vacuuming of the coils behind or underneath the refrigerator can help it last longer and it won't use more electricity than it has to. If there's more than .6 cm. (1/4 inch) of frost in your freezer, you're putting energy on ice. Regular defrosting is easy to do and it's easier on the fridge. Tune-up,Clean-up It's simple. Appliances that are clean and well-cared for last longer and they use less electricity. Over the long run, you can save money on appliance replacement. And of course, the less energy you waste, the more dollars you save. Take the $1 bill test. Shut the door of your fridge on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls out easily cold air can flow out too, adding to your energy costs. The fridge may need a new gasket or the solution may be as simple as making sure the appliance is level.

Seniors have busy plans By JOY SCHEIFELE AILSA CRAIG The Craigweil Gardens Activity Centre committee and their co-ordinator, Lloyd * Roth, have been busy planning activities for seniors in Ailsa Craig and community. A different schedule of events is posted in downtown stores each month, or may be obtained from Lloyd by calling 293- 3678. As a sample, in the summer months, the shuf- fleboard court has been a favourite meeting place and it is there for all seniors in the community to use, Over 25 persons have already enjoyed this sport. During the month of August, many got pleasure out of seeing the countryside, picnicking, or shopping, on trips to St. Thomas parks; Goderich, Benmiller, and the Country Spire; London; Strathroy and Strathmere Lodge. Another highlight was attending the play, "The Sound of Music" at Grand Bend. If you have a favourite place to go, let us know. Many are now working on quilt blocks in anticipation of using the new quilting frames made in the shop by some of our gifted men. When the fall and winter seasons begin, there will be games' nights, movies, slides, and the dinners which have proven so popular, as well as a music night featuring, "The Sweet Adelines" double quartette. Please watch the calen- dars posted locally each month for events you will enjoy. • We could use the space in this ad to talk about the many great features of the Scotiabank VISA* card vs the other credit cards.

Right around the worlds Nursery at Stephen • has new teacher • By LYNNE FARQUHAR With the summer officially over and the kids back in School it's time again for the Stephen Neighbourhood Nursery School to begin. The nursery is set to open on Monday September 10 for morning classes starting at 9.15. The nursery will once again be running mornings from Monday to Friday. Dawn MacLean will be the new nursery teacher. Dawn, her husband and two kids have just recently moved to the area and live on a farm outside of Centralia. She has formerly been employed in Day Care Centres and is looking for- ward to teaching Huron Park and area youngsters, Registration for nursery will be taking place Friday September 7 from 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. in the nursery room at JAD McCurdy School. For nursery in- formation, please call the Stephen Resource Centre at 228-6302. By the way, we are looking for craft supplies for the nursery so start saving your old bottles, egg cartons, buttons, etc. The Huron Park pool has now completed its season for the summer of 1979. The swim lessons, which were run for the first time in several years at the Park, were a major success mainly due to excellent supervision by Wendy Beaver, Leslie Campbell and Jan Mac- Donald. Thanks goes to all three gals for doing such a great job this summer. Thanks also goes to Helen Muller, who acted as assistant recreation director this summer. Helen ran the wading pool, filled in as a lifeguard at the big pool and helped to keep the other programs going smoothly. Her typing skills will cer- tainly be missed around the office. The Huron Park ladies are starting up bowling again Wednesday nights this year. Apparently the Wednesday group is filled and they are going to try to start a Monday night group. Any ladies who are in- terested in Monday night bowling in Huron Park should call the Resource Centre at 228-6302 or drop by and leave your name. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with our summer programs. Thank you to the industries, businesses and clubs who gave their donations, to ODC and Stephen and Hay townships for their co- operation and support and to the volunteers who gave their time and helped to make our programs a suc- cess.

By BILL McNUTT Recently I received, as a hunter safety instructor, a letter from J.R. Reynolds the Deputy Minister of Natural Resources. In this letter he outlined the recommendations of a committee set up to review the Hunter Safety Program. The seven major recommendations are as follows, The program be expanded to 20 hours from the present eight so that more time and greater emphasis could be placed on wildlife management, wildlife identification, hunting ethics, bowhunting and hunter and landowner relations. All first time hunters and those unable to produce a previous hunting licence should be made complete the training course regardless of age. Those over 21 presently are not required to attend the training classes, That all standards of hunting licence examinations be upgraded immediately. All program instructor qualifications and training be upgraded as soon as possible. Requirements for non- resident's purchasing hunting licences be reviewed and standards established. New program manuals, publications and training aids be developed with input from program instructors. Number seven is probably the one which will affect the most people and it read, "that a re-training and re- examination program be developed for present licence holders." Would not really like to say whether this would be a good thing or not but it would require a lot of money and take a long tinie to examine Lry hunter in Ontario. The letter further stated that recommendations have been made for a demerit system. He also stated that the revision of the examination, its upgrading and the upgrading of instructor qualifications have already been implemented, The other recom- mendations seem to have been temporarily set aside at least "to give the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters an opportunity to review the feasibility of administering the training function." The reason for this is because this is "a period of fiscal constraint on all governmental activities." It sounds like our govern- ment is trying to pawn the program off, Maybe if the Ministry of Natural Resources was to get the licence income, which the Treasury of Ontario gets, they could afford many other good programs besides this one. In the second week of operation, the South Huron Sportsmans Association's skeet shoot saw a slightly higher average score but no 25 straights. Bill McNutt again led the other shooters, this week breaking a 24 after dropping a low seven target. Bob Snell, Tom Russell and Paul Giles all tied with 21's. Snell and McNutt were both shooting 20 gauge scatterguns while Russell and Giles fired 12 gauges, Two other 20 gauge shooters Bonnie McNutt and Gord McKay each broke 14 targets. The skeet range, two and one half miles west of Exeter on highway 83 will now be open to the public every Saturday afternoon at 1 p,m. Everyone is welcome to come out and get practice for the hunting season and don't forget the $10 prize for the first non-owner 25 straight.
