Mrs. McQuail worked at a
nursing home in Lucknow for' two
years, but switched roles with her
husband when he began his
• eight-month temporary job on
January 30 setting up the
Lucknow and Goderich energy
conservation . centres for, the
federal government.
He has been teaching "altern-
ative. energy for the home", an
eight week night couFse for adults
at Wingham and Goderich high
schools. He completed a Univer-
sity of Waterloo honours degree
in environmental studies in 1976.
"People no longer know what
they're depending on," McQuail
says of the ever increasing
complexity of projects such as the
nuclear power development at
nearby Douglas Point.
"Having built this whole
house, I understand my system. I
know what to do when a pipe
freezes, for example.
"It's a very secure feeling here
with the sun warming you on one
side and your little wood stove on
the other, your home grown food
in the basement.
"It's hard for me to imagine
the desperation people feel when
their power goes off, when the
fragile network they've been
clinging to lets them down."
His night school course is
aimed at giving people a much
better idea of what energy
actually is.
"People think changing our
energy patterns means going
back to the caves. But this is not
true - it means only going back to
the levels of the late 1960s,"
because energy consumption has
been doubling every 10 years.
While he spoke, the telephone
range. Meeting House Farm,.
though not plugged into the hydro
or water or sewage grids, is
certainly not cut off from social
involvement.
An old farmer, Hugh Mewhin-
ney, was .calling, having heard
that McQuail's energy programs
from the Lucknow postmaster. He
is interested in solar heating and
says he built wind chargers back
in the 1920s. They worked fine
until Ontario Hydro's subsidized
grid came through and priced
wind out of existence.
The style of life we're after,
says McQuail, is "something that
gets back to values people can
relate to."

recommended that due to the
high rate of unemployment
and in an attempt to hold
inflation to a reasonable rate
that future employee in-
creases be heldat four per-

committee suggested that
increases for any individual
employee be kept at four
percent or $1,000 for the
balance of 1978 and 1979.
