Sal and Val, the con- ductors of "Heavenbound" welcomed the children each night as they boarded the train, and kept them singing, laughing and jumping with their songs and games. The blue and yellow team were the winners of the most token points earned for saying the memory verse throughout the three nights. Puppets, skits and crafts also filled the two-hour program each evening. Wednesday night Celebration time and the children finally were able to wear their Salvation hats made the -previous nights. The salvation Celebration took place on the new properly where everyone enjoyed candy floss, face painting, bubble blowing and train rides. The train owned by Fred and Murna Sleight puffed smoke and blew its whistle as it carried its passengers around the property. Attendance was good with over 85 children attend- ing DVBS and 35 youth and adults being involved in many, many different areas to make this years DVBS a success. The Youth Group enjoyed a night out in London on Thursday playing mini golf and dropping in at McDo- nalds. Wednesday night Bible Study for the Youth will be as usual this week, 7 p.m. at the church.

Eneigy resources out the window By Paula Rohner EXETER - As conventional ener- gy resources dwindle, the renewa- ble energy technologists, such as solar, wind, wood and water be- come increasingly important. In fact, eat rgy efficiency conservation may become an actual source of en- ergy. If conservation is practised, it is believed that the -amount of ener- gy used can be reduced by 25 per- cent. Canada lines more energy per capita than any other country in the world. In some respects, this is un- derstandable, considering we have extreme temperature fluctuations. However, there are many ways to reduce the amount of energy we use. Much of the energy consumed is wasted through inefficient house designs, poor construction practic- es, and inefficient furnaces, water heaters and appliances. According to the National`Audu- bon Society, one kilowatt hour of electricity produces one and a half pounds of carbon dioxide which is one of the main contributors'to glo- bal warming and acid rain. Homes are a major contributor to this growing problem because of the amounts of fossil fuels consumed. Here is a residential energy con- sumption breakdown from the Ca- nadian Green Consumer Guide: space heating 67 percent; water heating 17 percent; appliances 14 percent;1ihung 2 percent. There many ways of cutting thesis. perce tages down. All it in- • volves is a little time, money and education. Here are some helpful hints: • turn down the heat, set it at 21 C when relaxing, 20 C when work- ing or exercising, 18 C when sleep- ing and 16 C when no one is home... lowering it just five degrees can add up to a 14 percent reduc- tion of energy consumption; • don't use hot water when cold water willdo; • use a clothes line to.dry clothes whenever possible; • vent clothes dryer to the outside to avoid adding heat and humidity to the house in the summer months; • use curtains to keep the heat in duripg the winter and out during -the summer; • upgrade or replace windows... in the colder Canadian -home, win- dows can account for as much as 15 percent of heat loss; • seal your windows to keep out draughts; • add insulation to places that need it; • insulate your water heater; • use* a fan instead of air - conditioners wherever possible; • if using an air -conditioner, when walls are cold tum it off and use a fan to circulate the air, • turn lights, computers, applianc- es, etc. off when not in use; • set your refrigerator at 3 C and your freezer at -18 C - colder will increase the appliance's energy re- quirements by 10 percent; • if buying new appliances re - Huron County Board of Education South Huron District High School, Exeter mot opens nn Tuesday.

Alfieri Principal Vioe.Principal member that energy costs represent a "second price tag"... for instance, a refrigerator priced at $800 with a high efficiency rating would, over. its lifetime, cost about $1370 to tum fora total of $2170. A refriger- ator coating $700 but withal low ef- ficiency rating would end up cost- ing $370 or $900 more, while using lip twice the amount of ener- gy• Taking these suggestions and put- ting them to use can not only save the energy resources and the envi- ronment, but also save you a sub- stantial amount of money. There are many information resources available in the Library, book stores and the Ministry of Environ- ment and Energy to assist individu- als in finding other means of ener- gy conservation. Take advantage of the potential savings.
