Wise use of energy starts with you. An electric water heater will provide all the hot water you need ... quickly and efficiently. It's up to you to use it wisely. • insulate long runs of hot water pipe • taking a short shower usually uses less energy than a bath, because less hot water is used • a dripping tap or shower head can waste up to 175 gallons of water a month. A simple washer replacement will stop this waste • wait for a full load before running your clothes washer or dishwasher • set the washing machine to cold water whenever hot water is not essential.

The agenda is falling into place quite nicely. The Committees are working very hard to make this a suc- cess and are hoping that the townspeople and area are behind them and will turn out for the big event. We know it sounds like a very expensive weekend to at- tend all the functions, but there are enough activities and functions going on for the three days that you are -able to pick and chosse the ones that you are most interested in. The parade is looking like a great success with bands, floats, bed races etc. If you have an entry call Don Haines and let him know. Entries to the Craft and An- tique show are many so the Arena. should be an in- teresting place to spend a cou- ple of hours. For those in- terested in music and enter- tainment the Friday night CFPL. Talent show held at the Public School is a must, and for the Country and Western fans BX93 is sponsor- ing a program on the Sunday afternoon from 1 to 5 at the Rec Centre, bring your lawn chair and relax as this will be held outside if weather permits. Four hours of entertain- ment for $1.25 food booths on the grounds for the full weekend. L ucan to receive $ Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) grants totalling almost $570,700 for 14 municipalities have been an- nounced by Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Claude Bennett. A grant of $20,000 for Lucan is included. Administered by municipalities, the program assists homeowners to upgrade their homes, with the emphasis on faulty structural and sanitary conditions, and on `plumbing, insulation,` heating and electrical systems. Loans of up to $7,500 are made to eligible owner - occupants who wish to bring their homes up to standard. A portion of a loan may be forgiven, .depending on the recipient's income. Interest rates range from zero to eight percent, again depending on income. For applicants, the max- imum annual qualifying in- come, after allowable deduc- tions are made, is $15,500. Bennett said that since OHRP was launched in 1974, more than $146 million in pro- vincial funds have been given Council offers helpful advice to dog counter An enumeration is under- way in Exeter,,but don't get your hopes up...it is going to result in an election where you can voice your concern over the economy going to the dogs. In fact, the enumeration is • for dogs only. Student employee Brenda Pinder will be going door-to- door to enumerate dogs in an effort to ensure that all canine owners are paying dog tag fees. The move stems from re- cent complaints that many dog owners do not buy tags while others have been assessed penalties for acquir- ing theirs after the deadline. Mayor Bruce Shaw said there was no sense having a bylaw if it wasn't going to be. enforced and council had to embark on a program to try and do a good job of enforce- ment or not to do anything about dogs at all. "Moral persuasion hasn't worked," he said in reference to the fact many owners dc not purchase the required tags. Miss Pinder was given some helpful advice by coun- cil members prior to embark- ing on her enumeration. Tom Humphreys warned her to be careful of dober- mans and police dogs. "My dad got me a can of ,dog repellent," Miss Pinder replied. Morley Hall suggested she would need broad shoulders to withstand the flack that could be expected from some dog owners, while Dorothy Chapman encouraged her to take notes, write a book and sell it. �O • to 701 municipalities cross the province, and to in- dividuals in unorganized communities. "That translates into repairs being carried out with OHRP financial incentives in more than 35,000 homes. It's a measure of the program's success and popularity," he said.

Sincerely Lois Armstrong Member . Heritage Days Committee yr * it Dear Sir: We received an interesting letter from our daughter-in- law (Mrs. Maybee from Windsor). They had the same storm that we had last Wednesday. Our grandson (Kurt Maybee)` who is 13 and his cousin who lives next door heard this terrible crash upstairs, ran up and fire was coming out from the elec- trical outlet. Kurt had sense to run downstairs and turn off the main switch, grab the fire ex- tinguisher and called the fire department right away. The lightning had hit a tree travelled along the clothes line to two other trees, tore all the bark off, then travelled back to the house. The fire dept. arrived shortly after and they told the boys they were heroes. for having the presence of mind to do what they did. It saved their home. We thought this a very good arti- cle for your paper and also what a 13 year old did to save their home. Sincerely Mr. and Mrs. Ed Douy Box 185 Exeter P;S. We enjoy your paper when we are down South. It's like having an old friend com- ing in to see you from home. huh Picked Strawbonies Phone Kippen 262-6319 Term Deposit Rates 30- 90 days 180 - 364 days 1 yr. 161/2% 2-5years 15'/2% - Safety Deposit Boxes - $5.00 per year - Cheques cost only 154 each - No charge for certifying cheques - Pay your utility bills here: 304 charge - Life insured savings, loans and mortgages.
