Although we all live in the same
climate in this region, everyone has
their own way of dealing with the,
struggles and beauties of winter.

of the area people felt about winter and
how they coped with the long, snowy
months.
Here are some of their replies :

"I'm going south tonight. I'm sick of
shovelling the snow off my cars."

down south where there was no winter.

Energy conservation centre corning
An energy conservation centre is to be
established in Huron County with the
hope public demand will keep it afloat
after its federal funding runs out in eight
mouths.
The centre is being established by the
department of energy, mines and
natural resources' through a grant
provided under the Federal Labor
Intensive Program (FLIP) .
Mark Riley, a regional co-ordinator,
said in a telephone interview from
Ottawa that his department has received
$3,690,000 under FLIP.
Riley said about $49,300 of that is being
used to establish the centre in Huron
County some time next month. Similar
centres will be set up in Sarnia and Owen
Sound.
He said the idea is to have the centre
generate enough public interest that

conservationist in the area.
Riley said the exact roles the centre
will play will be better knowen when
McQuail reports for a training course in
Ottawa and he and the department have
a chance to exchange ideas.
When he returns from Ottawa,

He said the centre will also be looking
for a suitable group such as a
municipality, church, college or
established conservation group to take
over the project when the federal funds
run out.
McQuail said in ian interview that
