Bevan Bonthron and Ron Wareing represented the BIA. Hill said he had come to council to bring council up to bate and to discuss concerns expressed in an editorial in The Times -Advocate. He outlined the ministry of transport concerns that proposed islands holding planters and light standards would be hard to plow snow around. He said he had to delete the islands. and this left no room for the lights and the planters. It was "a pity to lose that" he said but stressed the plan still had a lot with which to work. He suggested the light standards be mounted on the inner edge of the sidewalk and arms be mounted to hold the lights out from the buildings. The arms would be high enough to clear the tractor used for snow plow- ing the sidewalks. The loss of the planters was also not too serious Hill indicated as hanging planters could be mounted on the light standards. He said the residential ap- proaches with their trees and greenery, along with a treed car -park near the CNR tracks and the trees around the town hall. would be suf- ficient considering the com- pact business area. If the MTC rebuilds parts of the curbing when it rebuilds King Street (Highway 84) Hill said this Women at Carmel plan pot luck event The W.M.S. and Lathes' Aid of Carmel Presbyterian Church were pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. Rochus Faber in Kippen on Monday evening.

FRED BOWDEN The Christian and Peace was the subject chosen by Rev. Burton Crowe for his sermon in the United Church on Sunday morning. Peace on Remembrance is peace among the nations of the world. What is Involved when a Christian prays for peace? We ought to be praying to discover what God wants us to do and try to achieve an inner peace from the faith that life is worth living. Peace can only be bought with the coin of righteousness and we must be willing to place Inter- national duties above luxuries and to follow the slogan - "Peace with Justice".

Hensall council Continued from page/4A public school principal Robert Reaburn asked if snow could be plowed on the sidewalks along Nelson and Albert Streets to improve safety for students walking to the school. Works superintendent Don Towton was requested to try to keep the sidewalks plow- ed, unless the snow becomes too deep to be easily moved or other work has more priority. The Nelson Street sidewalks have kept open in previous years. A resolution from the Township of West Nissouri ws filed. The resolution call- ed for a halt to exporting power and asked Hydro to limit its nuclear generating capability to power needs within the province. Neilands said exporting power helped keep the cost of Ontario power down. Minnie Noakes said she had attended a seminar at the Bruce nulcear station and after hearing the project explained. she couldn't sup- port a resolution limiting the development of nuclear power. She said she had jokingly told officials there "if we're going to be blown up. I'd rather it be by a Canadian than a Russian". The Hensall crest contest will be opengd to include all students at the Hensall public school. even those who don't live in Hensall. Oke said the school could better support the contest if all students could get in- volved. They could perhaps take on the contest as an art project. Personals Mrs. Dorothy Brintnell, Mrs. Audrey Christie and Mrs. Olive Cooper returned home from a pleasant bus trip through the States of California. Mrs. ida Matilda (Scarlet) Peters of Oxford Street in Hensall passed away in Wingham General Hospital on Wednesday.

They thus have a lot of similarity, a regional character and style, which Hill said gives the county a beauty. The towns are different but similar Hill said. Noting Hensall already has an iden- tity and a character, he said he wanted to determine what's appropriate and fits. The stress was not to change Hensall, Hill said, but to build on what's already there. Hill said there were many things which could be started right away. He said the group could be contac- ting private landowners in- volved to gain their support. Items like tree planting and the railway area improve- ment could be started now. Ron Wareing said parts of the proposal involving private property was "put- ting the cart before the horse" as it should have been discussed with lan- downers before it was released to the public. Hill agreed this was a problem. but said he felt the project would be good for the people of Hensall and what was proposed is good for the landowners. Reeve Paul Neilands suggested the village should be responsible for contacting the landowners as any BIA loans could only be used to improve municipal proper- ty. Clerk Betty Oke pointed out the project and BIA loans would have to go through the Ontario Municipal Board as the loan period would he longer than the life of the current coun- cil. In terms of paying for the project. it was pointed out the taxpayers would have to pay for very little as sidewalks would have to soon be replaced anyway, and the BIA will pay for the difference between the costs of brick or concrete sidewalks. Wareing said at the original BIA meeting everybody wanted to do something for the communi- ty. and now they will have to realize the costs of im- provements. He added he thought the taxpayers were getting a good deal in the project. Neilands said he had con- tacted MPP Jack Riddell to HENSALL POPPIES — Members of the Hensall branch of the Canadian legion began a poppy drive Thursday evening.

ONE OFA SERIES. HERE'S HOW 10 SAVE BIG DOLLARS WHEN YOU BUY BIG ELECTRICAL APPUANCES LOOK FOR THE ENERGUIDE LABEL When you buy a major electrical appliance, you're picking up two price tags. One is the cost of the appliance. The other is the cost of the electricity to operate it over its lifetime. Until recently the energy price tag was missing. You paid now – but had little idea of what you would go on payirit. Now there's a second tag, in the form of an Energuide label. WHAT IS ENERGUIDE? Energuide is an appliance label- ling program under which energy con- sumption "stickers" are attached to new refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers. clothes washers, and kitchen ranges offered for sale in Canada. The pro- gram was initiated by the Government of Canada and is operated in co-opera- tion with consumer groups. appliance manufacturers and retailers. electrical utilities and provincial governments. COMPARISON SHOPPING The whole idea behind Energuide is to help you, the consumer, to compare the energy cost tags of appliances and deter- mine which is the best buy. Comparison shop- ping and wise decisions can save you a great deal of energy and money over the long run. HOW DOES ENERGUIDE WORK? The label on each new appliance shows the number of kilowatt hours of electricity (kWh) consumed by that appliance in one month of normal operation. This rating is determined by a test developed by the Canadian Standards Association for all appliances labelled. The number is represent- ative of the energy that the appliance will con- sume under normal operation in your home. It's not exact; the test could never duplicate precisely all the conditions in your home. But it is correct as acomparatire rating. to indicate the difference between models. u.:r rn0'I a u t:.3-r,hi?)) 1 23 ^, cv gectii:r ' :merlin acco rd,r, .: r. '!

(The current national aseragc is 4c per kWh.) This will gise you the operating cost for one month. kWh per month x cents per kWh = cost per month. WORK OUT THE LIFETIME COST To really appreciate the importance of Energuide ratings, figure out the lifetime energy cost of the appliance. The aserage major appliance lasts 15 sears, or 180 months. Multiply the cost per month hs 180 and the number you get will he nnpressrse And it will he an underestimate, because it assumes a constant electricity price oscr 15 years TWO REFRIGERATOR EXAMPLES Consumer and Corporate Affairs Can.id.i publishes each year the Energuide ratings for ness appliances. Froin the 1981 Refrigerator listing conte the follow Ing examples: Type and Defrost System Model A –Two -door, top mounted freezer. frost free 18.2 117 Model B –Two -door, top mounted freezer, frost free 17.1 190 Over a 15 -year lifetime Model A, although slightly larger, would cost you . 5842.40 for energy (at a constant 4C/kWh). Model B's energy cost would be 51,368.00. That's a difference of 5525.60' Total kWh cu. ft. month WHEN MORE IS LESS The appliance with the lower Energuide ratings may cost a little more to buy – they usually have more insulation, Netter motors. more sophisticated controls. But as the above example shows. the value of the energy they save over their life cycle will pay for the extra investment many times over. So when you're shopping for major appliances look at both tags. do a little figuring and buy the model that will he cheapest over its life cycle – not just the cheapest on its purchase price. AN ENERGUIDE BONUS FOR ALL Besides providing consumers with information for comparison shopping. the Energuide program is has ing another effect Appliance manufacturers are improymg the energy efficiency of their models. Alread there have been sonic notable improsements and experts predict that ss ithin a fess scars major appliances ss ill he consuming about 40'- less electricity – ss hile pros 'ding the same services. That's a posserful es.,mple of boss consumer power and industrial rnnosation go hand in hand. ' `1a,1 to Gincrnment of Canada I:nerg). M,nc. and Rc.ourcc• (anad., PO Box 1500.
