Energy group meets The first meeting of the Huron Alternate Energy - Lifestyle Society was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Alf Hawkins, Bluewater Beach Road, Goderich, on February 18. The meeting was an outgrowth of a night school course on alternate energy held in 1977 in Goderich and Wingham High Schools. Tony McQuail, the project leader for the new federally sponsored Community Conservation Centre gave a short talk on the aims and objectives of this project. Two films, one on a methane gas -propelled automobile and the other on pollution control, were seen. This was followed by a lively discussion period over coffee. About 25 people attended from Goderich, Lucknow, Auburn, Clinton, etc., and their interests ranged from solar energy systems, wind generators, heat pumps, methane gas production, pollution, organic gardening to small stock raising. It is hoped to have films and speakers on all of these subjects at future meetings. It was decided to keep the society on a very un- structured and informal basis, so no officers were elected. However, Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins volunteered to host the next meeting on Sunday, March 19 at 2:30 p.m. Jeanne McCauley and Harry Mitchell volunteered to make the necessary arrangements for this meeting. We hope to have two short films, one on solar greenhouses, and the other on heat pumps, plus a good, open discussion period.
