Conserving electricity is a current poblem. Everyone knows it's revolting to waste energy. The world will be in a shocking state if we don't plug into the problem now. Burning fuel often creates an electrifying experience, but the world's fuel supply isn't bulbous. Charge forward and socket to society. How? 1. Keep rooms in the dark. Turn off the light behind you. 2. When you're not using your radio, stereo, T.V., turn them off. That's a sound idea. 3. A cool thought is to keep your refrigerator door shut. 4. When your clothes are dry, take them out of the dryer and turn it off. Anyone who doesn't is full of hot air. . When the oven is on, keep the door shut. That's elemental. . Turn down you thermostat. Be hot stuff in a sweater. . Only a drip would leave the hot water tap unning. . Get steamed up when you see electric kettles eft plugged in. Use dishwashers and washing machines only hen they're full. It'll come out in the wash. 10. Some electrical gadgets are for lazy people. ppliance your own energy. Distributed by Canada Wide Feature Service Limited 1983 MacKay Fairfield with Ministry of Natural Resources representatives and MPP Murray Elston (Lib. -Huron -Bruce) took part in the sod -turning ceremony at the administra- tion building Aug. 11. MVCA chairman Dave Gower of Goderich said the sod -turning ceremony is the culmination of three years of serious consideration of an office expansion. "The need has always been here since we expanded our services," said Mr. Gower. Presently some of the staff are housed in offices in downtown Wroxeter and the chairman said it is impor- tant to have all staff under the same roof. The project is to be funded by both the federal and pro- vincial governments with the authority making up the remaining amount. Mr. Gower indicated the federal government will pay $118,000 through its unemployment insurance program. This, he said, will employ 20 people for 492 weeks. The provincial government will pay $142,000 which will pay for material, equipment and some labor. The project is expected to be completed by March 31 of next year. Mr. Gower an- nounced that Henry Exel of Brussels will be the contrac- tor co-ordinating the con- struction of the 5,940 square foot addition. Various dignitaries, ' in- cluding Howick Township Reeve William Newton and MNR deputy regional direc- tor James Parker of London, brought greetings. Mr. Newton commented that the administration building is on the site where he received his secondary education. He also noted that back in the 1930's he did his bit for conservation by plan- ting some, of the trees still existing on the site. Commenting on the plans for the addition, the township reeve suggested that "perhaps the township should pave the road" which fronts the administration building. MVCA chairman Gower assured the reeve that the executive commit- tee will be sending such a re- quest to the township in the near future. Quick burn Hot water bums can occur quickly. It takes only six seconds for water at 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit) to produce a third degree burn. Water at 54 degrees Celsius (130 degrees Fahrenheit) can cause a third degree burn in 30 seconds. viv# s er re are fir theft - free h It's tithe for your summer holidays! You lock up the house, send the dog to a relative's, tell your neighbors how long you're going to,1e away, cancel the newspaper, and you're off, content knowing you've done all you can to ensure your home is secure. But increasingly, Cana- dians are returning home from their holidays to discover their homes have been broken into. Between 1976 and 1981, the number of residential pro- perty crimes in Canada rose 35 per cent. In major cities, the growth was staggering - 70 per cent from 1970 to 1982 in Toronto alone. And every year the rate climbs to its highest during summer holi- day season. "While most people don't want to turn their homes into fortresses, they do want to feel their homes aren't vulnerable," says Peter Kaye, President of RSS (Royal Security Systems Corp.), the only all -Canadian full service security com- pany. Kaye, a veteran of 25 years with the Toronto Police Department, adds, "depending on the size and location of your home, whether a house or an apart- ment, there are several steps we recommend which will help keep you from becoming a burglary statistic." Make the home look lived in. This means using a timer to turn the lights on and off New plant in St. Marys ST. MARYS - Construction of the St. Marys Tube Co. Ltd. plant is complete and production is scheduled to begin Sept. 5. President Grant Wilson said that hydro and water hook-ups are expected to be done last week and that the various government ap- provals of the plan would follow. He said production equipment is being installed and that testing of the two production lines will be done during the period of August 15 to 20. Production will commence with three shifts employing 36 people, Mr. Wilson said.

Using two or three timers will enable you to vary the lights and times. Don't cancel mail and newspaper delivery. Have a trusted neighbor pick it up each day instead. It's none of the paper boy's business whether you are home or not. Install drapes or blinds on windows when the interior of the home can be seen from the street or parking lot. Install bars on your base- ment windows and make sure they are properly screwed into the wood base. Grates and grills are available in attractive pat- terns and are useful for porch or rear windows. Cut back on dense shrubs around the house. Have a trusted neighbor cut the grass or shovel the snow. Install at least 60 -watt bulbs to light your yard - front, back and sides. Replace spring -bolt type locks (those usually found in doors) with a deadlocking latch bolt or a deadbolt lock. While double -cylinder dead - bolts (locks which need keys on both sides of the door) are excellent, they may waste precious seconds in a panic situation, such as a fire. If you move to a new home, replace the locks. Since the lock is only as good as its door, replace wooden doors and jambs with steel units. This prevents entry by kicking the door in. Install a peephole in the door. Install window locks on vulnerable windows. Key window locks are inexpen- sive, but for an even simpler method, add a nail to the top of the frame. If you have patio doors, put a metal rod, broomstick or broken hockey stick in the bottom track to prevent the door from opening - even if you live in a highrise. Burglars often climb up the balconies. Most patio doors have poor locks, so get a bet- ter one. Mark your valuables. The police have an engraving tool for this. Ask to borrow it. They'll enter your serial numbers into their com- puter. Never hide valuables in the master bedroom. That's the first place the thief will look. Use a safe or safety deposit box. Consider an electronic alarm system. There are many kinds to choose from, such as motion detectors that respond to movement and perimeter alarms that protect doors and windows. They may be tied in to a cen- tralized control centre. Put alarm warning stickers on the windows whether you have an alarm or not. They discourage the amateurs - the majority of intruders.

'For a very reasonable fee, they'll check your locks each night, make sure the grass is cut and give you a full report when you return. If you leave your key with a janitor or building super- visor, place it in an envelope seal it and sign your name across the flap. This will pre- vent the key from being used in non -emergency situations. If you're going away, tell your neighbors your depar- ture and arrival dates and leave a number where you can be reached. Be sure to check that all the doors, win- dows and the garage are locked. "While most of these methods sound simple, they are also very effective," notes Kaye. And most residential burglaries are not committed by profes- sionals. Since you're pro- bably dealing with an inex- perienced juvenile, these precautions will definitely strengthen your chances of keeping uninvited guests out." l5to4OOFF m ALL CHILDREN'S DRESS & CASUAL SHOES AUG. 17 to AUG. 24 DON'S SHOE PLACE says fit them Properly in Stuartonnie DON'S SHOE PLACE `Because you're worth it' 60 Main St. SEAFORTH Open all day Wednesday SUNCOAST MALL HWY. 21 GODERICH Mon. to Fri. 9:30 to 9:00 Saturday 9:30 to 6:00 BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY REPAIR Clinton Electric White -Westinghouse T +hrt p e ri ri t Appliances Sales and Service APPLIANCE REPAIRS ELECTRICAL MAINTENANCE 90 ALBERT ST. 482-3646 APPLIANCE and REFRIGERATION REPAIR SERVICE Jim Broodfoot 482-7032 Of course people read small ads.
