A good read
A quiet corner is always nice when you’re trying to get in a little reading. Kevin Bundy, a
member of the Blyth Festival company reads a magazine while other shoppers browse
through the tables of books at the annual Blyth Festival Book Sale Saturday at Blyth Memorial
Hall. The event raised about $2000 for the Festival.

involved. And subsequently, those
who choose to become involved
will be watching to see what affect
their suggestions have on the deci
sions made by those in power.
If you are a person who believes
that one person cannot make a dif
ference or if you have ever said
"you cannot change city hall" or
"no one ever listens to me", you
now have an opportunity to prove
yourself wrong. If large meetings
overwhelm you and you are reluc
tant to stand up and make your
ideas known — RELAX. We will
be working in small groups and
you can put your ideas on paper.
To all farmers: we realize this is
a bad lime of year for public meet
ings, but if it rains on June 5th,
please come.

time. It means that if a charity, a
theatre or an art gallery went broke,
the volunteer directors, who get
nothing for the many hours of ser
vice they put in for the organiza
tion, would be personally liable for
those back wages, vacation pay and
severance pay. Such groups are ter
rified they'll lose their volunteers if
the legislation proceeds unchanged.
Even if a director resigned he/she
would be responsible for those
costs for a couple of years after the
resignation.
There is something to be said
for the argument that for too long
the working people have been
under-represented in government
but the problem is that now the
munity. It does not matter if you
are poor or rich, if you are jobless
or hold an important position, if
you are young or old, if you are
disabled or fleet-footed or if you
have only lived in Huron County a
few months. The key phrase in
community development is "the
wisdom of the community will
always exceed the knowledge of
the experts."
Please make time to come out to
this meeting on June 5th. Bring a
friend. Bring your teenagers - the
future belongs to them.
Let's show how the people of
Huron can work together to solve
problems and make things happen.
Remember: this is the county
which started the fanners' rebellion
of 1837.

pendulum has swung too far. In a
government of lifetime employees
there is no understanding of the
realities of running a business, be it
a little comer store or a non-profit
theatre or a larger employer.
There's an employee's mentality
that the bosses are all rich and lazy
and probably crooked and that if
there's any justice they'll be made
to pay for their sins. That mentality
ignores the millions of hard-work
ing self-employed business owners,
many of whom make less than
employees of larger firms.
I had hoped, listening to Pre
mier Rae, that being pro-worker
didn't mean being anti-business but
the reality of government legisla
tion doesn't look that way.

says thanks
for support
THE EDITOR,
Thank you to the dozens of peo
ple who donated over 5,(XX) books
to the Blyth Festival Book Sale. As
a result of your generosity and the
hundreds of book lovers who
descended on Blyth Memorial Hall
last weekend, we were able to raise
almost $2,000 for the theatre.
Another special thank you to the
special volunteers - the Friends of
Blyth who co-ordinated everything
from the pancake breakfast to book
sorting.

For both oil- and gas-fired heat
ing systems, the distribution of heat
is generally not as good as it could
be. A large portion of heat is often
concentrated in areas that don't
require it, like basements which are
usually poorly insulated. So, much
of the heat is lost to the outside
instead of going where it is needed.
To improve the distribution of
heat, tape duct joints and insulate
warm air ducts or pipes. For warm
air systems, balance the air distri
bution, extend the circulating fan's
on-cycle and consider purchasing a
two-speed fan that runs continuous
ly at low speed when the furnace is
not operational. It is estimated that
half of the homes in Canada could
make these minor improvements in
heat distribution and achieve a 10
to 20 per cent reduction in fuel bills
and carbon dioxide emissions.
Even minor improvements to a
heating, system can generate sub
stantial fuel savings. This helps
your pocketbook and at the same
time you're doing something to
benefit the environment. Of course,
the most obvious means of con
serving energy and lowering carbon
dioxide emissions would be to cut
back on fuel consumption by low
ering the temperature. This can be
done painlessly by installing a
microprocessor-controlled furnace
thermostat that you can pre-set.
Lower the temperature when the
house is empty, and simply set the
