a book, the Nominal Roll of the 161st Infantry Battalion of Huron County World War I to Huron County
warden, Gerry Ginn.. The book was prepared by the late Norman Miller, former Clerk of Huron County
and a member of the Battalion. Following Mr.Miller's death the book was given to Mr. MacDonald by
his widow, who in 1955-56 had been one•of the Committee who had worked on the list of names entered in
the Book of Remembrance. It will now rest in the Memorial Chapel in the Court House. Mr. MacDonald
knew many of the members of the 161st Battalion as he was born in Huron County and raised near
Lucknow. He served overseas in France in the Canadian Army Medical Corps as a stretcher bearer. He
was in Goderich for Legion Branch 109's Vimy banquet.

3R's: Reject, Recycle,. Reuse
As private citizens we consume
almost 20% of Canada's energy
budget in our homes and oyer half
of the transportation energy
budget in our • cars; giving us a
total consumption of one third of
the total.
If we all pitch in or re -use,
recycle and reduce unnecessary
consumption we'll bring about
large energy savings for Canada.
Remember too that we'll reduce
pollution and save money. Fol-
lowing are some questions you
might ask yourself which may
help you put one of the 3 R's ---

Mrs. Barb Zettler, of the
Lucknow Energy Conservation
Centre, attended an Energy Fair
on Saturday, April 8 at Bowman-
ville, Ontario, where she staffed
an alternative energy exhibit.
The exhibit, which was assem-
bled by the Lucknow Energy
Conservation Centre, consisted of
a model thermosiphoning collect-
or, a methane digester model` grid
booklets and pamphlets on ener-
gy conservation, The exhibit
attracted a lot of interest from the
approximately 200 people who
visited the Fair, which was held in
the Bowmanville High School.
Mrs. Zettler, who graduated
from the University of Guelph in
Honours Geography and complet-
ed her teacher's training at the
University of Western Ontario,
has been working at the Energy
Conservation Centre since Febru-
ary.
Other highlights of the one -day
Fair were models of Solar
collectors (including food diiers,
solar still, swimming pool Peater
and water heater) and other
alternative energy sources which
1
were constructed by elementary
students from the surrounding
area. Mrs. Zettler said, "There
were outstanding exhibits from
Solar Energy Society of Canada,
Ontario Ministry of Energy •and
Watershed Solar Systems, to
name but a few. Persons attend-
ing were mainly interested in
solar energy and how they could
save money through conserva-
tion."
There were displays from three
manufacturers of woodburners --
Fisher Stoves, Jotul and Vermont
Downdrafter. A wind generator
was displayed by Winflo of
Markham.
"The guest speaker, Harold
Cuthbertson, from the Extension
Department of OMAF, gave an
interesting talk on energy in
agriculture," Mrs. Zettler report-
ed. "He presented a slide show
called "The Country Women's
Touch to Energy Conservation."
It was an interesting and worth-
while day, which made me think
that an Energy Fair could be a
fascinating event for Huron
County."
