SUMMERS GRANTON On Saturday afternoon Hubert Dietrich represen- tative to the fire board from Biddulph Township council, cut the ribbon on the new pumper truck for the Granton and Area Volunteer fire department, thus making it now ready for service. Township Reeve Wilson Hodgins was also present for this event. Chief Ward Ellyatt and FUELISH QUESTIONS? Right or wrong? To save gas. it s best to: -Turn on the air - conditioner rather than open the car windows. -Warm up your engine for only JO seconds before driving off. Right. on both counts. According to the U.S. Department of Energy. it's more fuel-efficient to turn on air con- ditioners in late -model cars rather than open the windows. At speeds of 40 m.p.h. or more, the wind drag from open windows results in more gas consumption than using the air - conditioner. Warm engines do per- form best. but keeping an engine running for more than 30 seconds does no good. It takes 20 minutes of warming up to reach maximum ef- ficiency. It's better to keep the engine only running a half -minute or so before you drive off. The engine warms up as you drive. Short trips of five miles or less amount for 15 percent of the mileage on most cars, but consume over 30 percent of the gas. Why? Because the trip is over before the engine begins to operate at peaks ef- ficiency. ' Conserving gas not only saves money but also curbs car exhaust, a major cause of air pollu- tion. says the Lung Association. To continue the fight against pol lution and lung diseases, answer your Christmas Seal letter. It's a matter of life and breath. Deputy Robert Pincombe explained how the new truck worked and how it was an improvement on the older models. Following the ceremony the annual Firemen's dinner and dance was held at the Mason's hall. A sumptuous beef dinner, prepared by the ladies of Court Valentine Canadian Foresters was enjoyed. Chief Ray Morley of the London Fire Depart- ment was a guest.

Church news At the United Church, Rev. Elwood Morden was in charge of the worship and entitled his sermon "Is Jesus for everyone?" He related the story of Mother Teresa, who when she went to Calcutta India, removed her Nun's Habit and donned a sari, and went into the streets to bring the dying people into her sanctuary. When caring for the Hindu, she dipped her fingers into water taken from the River Ganges, and moistened the dying man's lips, and for the Muslem, this compassionate woman would read a chapter from the Koran. Mother Teresa's answer to this was. "We are living the love that God has shown for everyone." At St. Thomas Anglican Church, Canon David Rees of London conducted the service and took his sermon from the Collect for the Sunday before Advent, and spoke on the stirring up of the people's will and traditions, touching on his own experiences and ending his sermon with this quotation "stir up we beseech Thee 0' Lord, the wills of Thy faithful people so that they will get ready and prepare for the coming of Christ." There will be no service at St. Thomas next Sunday as the Rt. Rev. M.C. Robinson SuffraganBishopof the Huron Diocese, will be visiting the Parish of St. Paul's Church, Kirkton.

The guest speaker was Philip Fox of the Stratford Children's Aid Society, who gave an enlightening talk on his involvement with this organization, illustrating this with a film, which made his audience keenly aware of how neccessary it was to have lawful rights to protect the child from physical harm, mental and emotion disturbances, and sexual abuse. A collection was taken up for a donation to the Foster Parents Plan of Canada. The members were reminded to bring a gift for a child at War Memorial Children's Hospital to the Christmas meeting. Mrs. Gordon Dann and Mrs. Clarence Lewis reported on the "Indoor Gardening course': they attended as leaders, and as a result it was decided that the members who were in- terested would meet at the Anglican Church Hall, the following Saturday morning, to pot bulbs.

Schedule session to manage moose With Ontario's moose herd in difficulty. the Ministry of Natural Resources is now preparing a number of policy options which will allow the moose population to increase from the previous trend. A series of public meetings are being schedul- ed across the province to seek the reactions to the MNR's proposals. The Wingham District is holding such a meeting to discuss the moose management program at the Wingham Canadian Legion Hall on December 9. from 1:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Those attending will be asked. to give their opinions in this open house meeting. The provincial moose herd has declined 35 percent in 15 years, with populations in the Kenora. Thunder Bay and Cochrane areas deteriorating the most. Recreational opportunities and economic benefits have been reduced. Hunting is the primary reason for the decline. Other suspects are habitat deterioration. predation, il- legal kill, and climate. Among the suggestions by the Ministry to manage this problem and reduce the kill during hunting season are shortening seasons, moving seasons later in the fall, closing seasons and bulls - only seasons. Other options include the elimination of non-resident hunters, im- proving hunter education and habitat, holding con- trolled hunts and reducing bag limits. These are possibilities for discussion at the public meetings. With the assistance of the public, the Ministry wilt make its decision. With new approaches, Ministry officials anticipate that by 1985 the provincial Credimon East sy MRS.
