For many years, Imperial Oil Limited ha, kept a log of the temperature for each day at Goderich—spring,, surhmer, autumn and \sinter. And, strange to say, the mean or average temperature over• a period of a year is fairy constant. This, of course, means that in a year's time the amount of fuel, consumed :n any one home shouldn't vary very much from year to year. 'Death and taxes.are always. with us," ,it ha, been said.

Dear Editor: A matter I feel should he brought the attention of proper author - ties is the' selfish and unlawful at- tempt being made by Bluewater Beach Property Owners Association to bar the public front using the portion of township road leading ' from top of lake bankqo the beach. This spring a fence was erected and a chain gate installed "for use of cottagers” only, they hoped. The center post of this fence is a six-inch. steel tube, filled with, and set in, concrete. "Private" and "No Paing.' signs hang every. where, 'Persons wishing to walk to the lake via the public road,Aor parking to watch the sunset, are usually met by a posse of bel- ligerent cottagers, male and fe- Male,, and threats of prosecution should they "set foot inside that chain." Most parties, not knowing the- true situation or simply not wishing to male an issue, are eintthaloassingteeesseaesewara In view of the very limited ac- cess the public have to their beaches in this area, this area seems especially short-sighted and unfair.
