Grand Bend, Hensall, Exeter, Cen- tralia, and the surrounding area. Church service Rev. Robert Matheson was in charge of the regular church service on Sunday morning. He told the children's story '`True Wealth". The sermon was entitled "Setting Values". Ethics and the practice of good moral behaviour is presently an issue Christians throughout the world have to face. It is not a new question. In the book of the prophet Amos preaches a sermon about practising business pro- cedures in an ethical manner. Amos warns his listeners about the cost of unethical behaviour. In Luke's gospel Jesus speaks about the rewards of ethical practices. At a time when we are faced with deci- sions about a person's right to privacy from prying com- puterized computer and the encroachment on our lives by other technologies we desperately need to be con- cerned about ethics. Ethical decisions, something we are generally weak on hoping they will look after themselves will help us to decide whether technology will dictate our future or if we will be the ones to dictate the future of technology. Services Sunday, October 2 will be at the usual hour of 11:15 a.m. The October meeting of the • United Church Women will be held Monday evening, Oc- tober 3 at 8 p.m. Mrs. Jean Hoffmeyer, Mitchell will be the guest speaker.

The program portion of the meeting was conducted by Mary Scafe. it was entitled "Why can't we learn to live together?" The disension extends from the largest countries in the world down into our local organizations and families. Before we can live har- moniously with others we have to learn to see the amus- ing side of a situation; we need a cordial sense of humour. We must make ourselves knowledgeable so that we can learn to understand and respect another person's dif- fering beliefs. We also need integrity. Mary read two poems "A Wish" and "It's September". The program closed with prayer. The business portion of the meeting began with the minutes. A thank -you note was received from Thamesword Lodge for our donated cookies. Motions were passed con- cerning the making and sell- ing of carrot puddings for the fall bazaar, November 19.

Kissing that old flame goodbye isn't the only way to reduce your oil consumption. If that oil furnace is still in good shape, you can take advantage of converting to a dual energy heating system. Instead of replacing your furnace, introduce it to an electric Plenum heater, heat pump, electric boiler or baseboard heaters. These dual energy systems let oil and electricity work in harmony to heat your home more efficiently and more economically. Operation is simple. The electric system works until the. coldest winter days, then your oil furnace automatically takes over. In most cases, add-on electric heat will reduce oil consumption by up to 75%. Even more in some cases. And a reduction of that magnitude can make a dramatic difference to the total cost of heating your home. The Plenum Heater The "plenum" ;s the warm air chamber at the top of your forced air oil furnace. That's exactly where a plenum heater is installed. So that on most days, the tan circulates more economical, electrically generated heat. The Heat Pump Even on cold winter nights, there is still warmth in the outside air. Just like a refrigerator, the heat pump extracts that warmth and pumps it into your home. Plus there's an added Bonus. In the summer, your heat pump works in reverse and bccomcs'a central air conditioner. The Iaeetric Boiler if you lave an oil fueled hot water heatin system, there's another alter- native. You simply add an electric boiler. n It's no bigger than a small suitcase and can he easily installed. Baseboard Heaters Electric baseboards can also he used as a dual energy system.
