If you are having a furnace installed, Somebody (particularly your heating contractor) had better know -- and care -- if your heating system is going to perform satisfactorily. We find that most of the furnaces we replace are grossly over- sized, so they are inefficient, uncomfortable, and don't last as long as they should. We select a furnace by doing a proper and thorough heat loss calculation, using professional methods and procedures.

The Music Box - bowie's Moonlight shines By Janet Tench Every year there is one rock concert that is the talk of the music industry. The Rolling Stones had their year in 1981, the Who took 1982, and David Bowie's Serious Moonlight tour is the success of 1983. Take for example, the fact that in Holland, Bowie sold 100,000 tickets in two hours. His dates in the U.S. were sold out. In Toronto, two concerts were held to ac- commodate those that wanted to see Ziggy Stardust aka The Thin White Duke aka David Bowie. Naturally, the biggest concert of the year would cost a fair amount. Tickets for the CNE dates were $23.75 and up. With all its publicity, the Serious Moonlight tour would have to have the specialty of a blue moon, no? Could any concert be ab- solutely fabulous? You had better believe it. The Concert With those holding general admission tickets, queuing up early is a necessity. Waiting outside the stadium for two or three hours is nor- mal. The gates rolled open at 7:10, causing the first crush of humans for the evening. Once your ticket is checked, there is the mad dash to get as close to the stage as possible. Then, more waiting. This wasn't too terrible. Everyone was sitting on the ground talking or looking around. Therealvere some interesting outfits: girls dressed in heavy metal leather and studs, guys with Inohawk cuts, and guys dressed new wave with feminine curls hanging over their eyes. At 8:30, Rough Trade moved onto the stage. People leapt to their feet and surged forward causing the second human crush. These crushes are not to be taken lightly. There is a great con- centration of body heat which tends to make people faint - at least three did! (tough Trade played their more popular songs ( along with some I was unfamiliar with) : ('rimes of Passion, High School Confidential, and Shaking the Foun- The family of Gordon and Darlene Shobbrook wish to invite their friends, relatives 8 neighbours to help them celebrate their 25m WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Friday, Sept. 16 in the BLYTH COMMUNITY CENTRE AT 9:00 P.M.

I was rather disappointed with my first viewing of Rough Trade. The group is known for their obscene acts on stage, but this time Carol Pope stood straight while singing, shaking her arms a bit, and waving a Microphone around once. She was the woman once arrested for indecent acts with a sledge hammer? The crowd, however, enjoyed Rough Trade although there were a few calls for Bowie. The stage set up for Bowie was fascinating. To the left was a hand, with a purple glow; to the right a glittering cresce t. There were three round ubicles with plastic curtai bunched into forms shimmering columns. Above the stage was a video screen where the concert would be projected so that all may see clearly. The concert did not begin with Bowie walking on stage. A small fortune worth of fireworks were displayed at the far end of the stadium. When the fire works were at their crescendo of explosion, Bowie's band came into sight. The saxaphone players, Lenny Pickett, Steve Elson, and Stan (I couldn't catch his last name) let their in- struments rip. The crowd roared with delight when the Man himself, came out to start the show with an up- beat version of Look Back in Anger. Before I list all the songs Bowie played, allow me to explain the need for a list. Bowie is an incredible performer. Most concerts consist of 10 to 12 songs. Bowie performed over 25, with little rest. He stood on stage, sweat running down his face, his shirt plastered to his thin chest, belting out song after song. That's dedication to your profession - were there more people like him! Here are the songs: Golden Years played right into Let's Dance (the crowd sang the introductory "ah's ), Heroes, Never Touch You, Life On Mars, Sorrow, Cat People, China Girl (this had a nice touch with Frank and George Simms, the backing vocals, play acting while Bowie drove the women wild with his cool. but sensuous stage - strutting), Scary Monsters I with Frank and George crawling about), Rebel, Rebel, White Light, and Station to Station. At this point Earl Slick and Carlos Salamar went into a frenzied guitar piece, backed by Tony Thompson on drums, while Bowie went to change out of his damp clothing. When Bowie returned he was adorned with a red velvet cloak, by Frank and George, given dark sunglasses, and handed a human skull. Many a fan wished to be that skull as Bowie crooned Black as Black to it. A backdrop bearing clouds, a rocket on centre stage, and a balloon representing Earth added an illustrious touch to Ashes to Ashes. As Major Tom was sitting in his tin can, blue and red, lights resembling blood vessels lit up in the hand with the purple glow at the left of the stage. After the song, Bowie exited, only to return with his guitar to play Space Oddity. Did he stop with this, a great finale? No. We were rocked with Young Americans, Fame, Tran- smission and White Sky. At last, it is time for the fans to scream at the top of their lungs for an encore. However, they were all so exhausted they could barely cheer. You'd be tired too, freaking out for two hours. Despite the low volume of applause, Bowie returned to play Rock 'n Roll Star, Stay, and to give us a surprise. The night before, Bowie met a friend in his hotel that he had not seen for eight years. One of the original Spiders from Mars - Mick Ronson (now a successful producer with groups such as the Payola $). So, Bowie told the ,crowd, he asked Mick wht he was doing Sunday night. Nothing much, was the reply. Bowie asked Mick to join the band for a song. For the third encore song, fans were given Dream Jeanie, with Mick Ronson on guitar. Mick flung his guitar all over the place, Bowie took up the sax. The ap- plause was thunderous. With no pause, Bowie went right on to do a Fourth en- core song - Modern Love. David Bowie is a man with style, not only in dress, but in stage theatrics. His seemingly limitless energy is unmarkable. If this tour was only a Serious Moonlight, I can't wait to see a serious tour. Smile In. the ,riddle of a motion picture, a lady with a wide - brimmed hat sat down in front of a soldier. For several minutes he craned his head this way and that; finally he tapped her on the shoulder. "Lady," he asked, "how much did you pay for that hat?" Surprise, she stuttered, "Why $3 " Without a word the soldier taunted out $3, handed her the money, took the hat and sat back to enjoy the show. Hensall & Mitchell i A. R. C.
