How to heat your home safely with wood fuels. 1 With energy costs rising, many Ontarians are rekindling an old flame—wood fires. Wood used properly can provide a cheap, clean renewable heat source. Used improperly,. however, wood burning can be dangerous. Whether your stove is of ornate design .or a more modern stove, they both have one thing in common; they each need proper installation. Here are some of the do's and don'ts on heating with wood: El DO — BUY only units which have been certified for wood use, by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), or the Underwriter's Laboratories of Canada (ULC). DO — HIRE an expert to certify that your flue pipe and chimney are in good condition to handle the higher temperatures. El DO CONTACT your insurance agent before installing the system. Be sure you're covered in case of fire, El DO — CHECK with your municipality before any work begins. You'll probably need a building permit. El DO — ENSURE adequate clearances are provided as ' listed in the Ontario Building Code and other guides available at your local library. El DON'T— USE flammable liquids when lighting the fire —.like gasoline, kerosene or charcoal lighter fluids. Wood chips, kindling, shavings or newspapers are the safest startup materials. q DON'T — KEEP any flammable materials near your wood burner, q DON'T — FORGET to clean your stovepipes and flues regularly to avoid dangerous flammable build-up. O DON'T — TAKE CHANCES WITH FIRE. Teach your children about fire safety too. If you have any further questions about heating with wood fuels, contact your local Fire Department, or write for the free guide titled: "Heating with Wood Fuels" Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations 555 Yonge Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 2H6 Frank Drea, Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations William Davis, Premier Ontario • • r Decorate your hen);\ with beautiful CUSTOM DRAPES Choose the fabrics and the styles you want and Barb Whiting will custom make your drapes for you.

N., EXETER 235-2940 the only Huron County township which won't face any real change in equalization factors. The federation members voted to send a letter to the 16 township councils in- dicating the need for a joint meeting to discsus the issue at some future date. The federation also received a response from Minister of Agriculture Lorne Henderson to a letter sent to the minister criticizing his stand on farm severances for retiring farmers. The minister told the federation the severance issue is "an issue I feel strongly about." He said, "A farmer should be allowed a lot on which to retire or a lot to help get his children started on the farm. I am not against a farmer building the extra house on his farm if he wants to but I think he should have the option of an extra lot." Jim McIntosh said he didn't feel the minister had backed up his arguments for severance in the letter. Merle Gunby said, "These so-called farm severances are usually only used for that purpose for less than five years." Frank Wall told the meeting statistics indicate three or four years is all the time those severances remain in the farmer's hands. Gerry Fortune asked,- "Does Mr. Henderson own a farm and is he thinking of retiring soon?" Max Demeray suggested when the retired farmer is done with the severed parcel of land, it should revert back to the original farm. Mr. Wall said, "then we don't need a severance." Bob Robinson requested that the federation reply to Mr. Henderson's letter asking the minister to state what protection there is for the farmer who owns the farm that the lot is severed from when someone else buys the lot. The federation is con- cerned that when severed property is purchased by non-farmers, the owners will complain about farm ac- tivities and odours. Members also discussed a letter from the Oxford County Federation on the disaster relief program in the Woodstock area. To date, the Huron County Federation has raised ap- proximately $16,000 to contribute to the disaster relief fund, in addition to sending feed and manpower to assist farmers whose farms were damaged in the August tornado. The Oxford Federation expressed concern that the costs of trucking feed to the damaged farms won't be covered by the disaster relief fund. RC.'

Mr. Wall told the meeting the interest rates are going to create problems for farmers due to the "high cost of short term money," He told federation members there wasn't any resolution on interest rates submitted for discussion at the upcoming OFA con- vention in Toronto at the end of the month, which sur- prised him. Merle Gunby, president of the Huron County federation, said, "I think we're still in a state of shock, Frank." Mr. Wall said the reason given for higher interest rates was as a curb for in- flation, but he said if farmers can't get short term money, and food supplies become scarce, then prices will in- crease anyway. He said for example he didn't know how long corn growers will be able to stay in business if the costs of energy and the costs of short term money keep rising. Mr. Wall was speaking to federation members on the proper way to draft resolutions submitted to the OFA for consideration. He told members that people who set up resolutions must make sure they do their homework well, before presenting the resolution to the OFA board of directors. He also critized "Propaganda sheets" which are telling the public that if the government would get rid of marketing boards, "then everything will be alright." Mr, Wall said nothing is needed more than getting the farmer's story across to the public. Tart equalization In other business, the federation received replies from six of the Gounty's 16 township councils about the 1980 revised tax equalization factors, The federation wrote to the councils to see if the farm organization and the councils could co-ordinate action on a campaign on the factors which are expected to increase taxes in rural areas. The councils from Howick, Goderich, Usborne, McKillop and Stephen in- dicated they would be in- terested in a joint meeting with federation members on the issue. Hay township council responded that they weren't opposed to the new equalization factors.
