Your furnace has been precision made to conform to government approved perfor- mance and safety standards, and ac- curately adjusted for maximum efficiency before being installed in your home. It is a completely reliable, automatic and safe unit which will operate at peak effec- tiveness for many trouble-free years. If any problem should arise, don't try to repair it yourself - call in any of the qualified furnace maintenance companies listed under Gas w the Yellow Pages. It is also a wise precaution to have your fur- nace checked by a licensed service person each year. There are several minor maintenance jobs you can do, however, to keep your fur- nace performing well, such as keeping the Furnace arca and the air filter clean and checking the blower motor and vent pipes. Keep your instruction manual handy and fi4Iuw the manufacturer's recomrnenda- tiuiis carefully. Good housekeeping pays off in fuel sav- ings, particularly in these days of high- cost energy. Keep areas around the fur- nace free from dust or dirt and clean or change the air filter each month during the winter to ensure maximum performance from your furnace. M the start of the heating season, check the blower motor and fan belt. If the fan belt is frayed it should be replaced, and if slack it should be tightened. Clean and lubricate the blower motor if recommend- ed by the manufacturer. Always turn off the power to the fan before adjusting or el ler:king the motor. Vent pipes may become dislodged over they ears causing a heat leak in the base - IT'S OUR 6th ANNIVERSARY EVERY ITEM DRASTICALLY REDUCED! AMPS. RECEIVERS. TURNTABLES. CARTRIDGES, PORTAlELBS.

These problems are easy to spot and rec- tify and the few minutes it takes to repair them will help keep your heating bills from climbing. If you turned off your furnace pilot light for the summer, follow the manufacturer's instructions when relighting. After relighting, turn up the thermostat to make certain the burners are lit. So just by way of a recap, the Canadian Gas Association recommends these easy ways you can help keep your heating system operating efficiently this winter: 1. Have your furnace checked and clean- ed by a qualified serviceperson annually. 2. Keep areas around your furnace clean. 3. Clean or replace air filters regularly during heating season. 4. Turn fan motor off, check the pulley, fan belt, and lubricate the motor if recom- mended by the manufacturer. 5. Make sure vent pipes are not extended too far into the chimney and are not block- ed. In most cases your furnace will operate with no problems if properly maintained, however, if it doesn't forget being a do-it- yourselfer and call a qualified serviceper- son!

Port Al' l ert ody uil , i_ rs soak f et and manicure nails On October 12, the Port Albert Body Builders held their sixth meeting at the home of member, Wendy Miltenberg. Marcia Book opened with the 4-H pledge .nd roll call which was, "Tell something that made you smile." Plans were made for the skit, "Happiness is...Keeping Fit." Members discussed consumer rights and responsibilities and how to complain in person, by phone or by mail. They then read about care of the hands and feet and participated in a manicure or foot soak. The seventh meeting will be October 26 at Stephanie Durnin's home. Special projects will be presented at this meeting. History Facts In 1940, 400 acres was purchased in Port Albert for the British government to build an airport and train air personnel for World War II. Port Albert was chosen because the land was level and it was close to Lake Huron, the Nine Mile River and Highway 21. It took three months working round the clock to build the airport on the site at a cost of one million dollars. At one time, there were 400 workers employed in its con- struction. When building the runways, 2,000 tons of gravel were required every 24 hours and it took ten days just to complete one runway. Two hundred Air Force instructors arrived from Britain to carry out training when the airport was completed. It is estimated that 2,000 men from all over Canada graduated every month from the Port Albert Airport which operated from 1940-45. The dining hall could feed 720 air- men at one sitting. The firehall which was on the base was late) to become the Agricultural Hall in Dungannon. No doubt, many of the graduates of the Port Albert Airport lost their lives in the war. To walk past the location today, there is nothing to tell us that the site was once an important Royal Air Force training centre. As you drive north on Highway 21 and look east, you will see the remains of an in- cinerator which was built by the late Henry Lednor of Port Albert for use at the airport. It has been suggested that a suitable cairn or monument be erected on this site in commemoration of the many airmen who trained there and lost their lives in the war. Perhaps the Port Albert Taxpayers Association could take on such a project. PORT ALBERT NEWS Tom Livingstone. iSes 7,346 It is interesting to note that William Balk - will, once a summer resident of the village, was once employed as a civilian in the building of the airport. When it closed, he was on duty there as an RCAF officer. Fishing News Roy Bellinger, Conservation Officer, reports that 87 Rainbow Trout have been tagged so far this fall. This is more than last year. Mr. Bellinger is of the opinion that fishing in the Nine Mile River should be good this fall. Saturday was an ideal day for fishing. John Dziens of Kitchener reports he had nine fish hooked but they all got away. Gordon Strube of Kitchener reports that he caught five salmon.

Following the work of the evening, the members adjourned to the dining room where a delicious lunch was served by the social committee. Members attended Divine Service at Nile United Church Sunday morning. Wayne Snyder and the Worshipful Brother Alfred Crow read the scripture lesson. The Reverend Robert Roberts, minister of Nile Church, spoke on helping others and stewardship. Church News Evening prayer service was conducted by the Reverend Robert Crocker at Christ Anglican Church in Port Albert on Sunday. He took his sermon from St. Matthew, Chapter 22. Keep your children from choking on Halloween Halloween brings ghosts, goblins and, sometimes, real danger. The Ontario Lung Association warns about one danger for children — risk of choking on holiday treats such as candy corn, hard candy, and peanuts. At Halloween, children go door-to-door "begging". Parents should insist youngsters bring the goodies home for inspection. Fo the youngest - two, three or even four yeldi old - some of the candy can be divided or mashed before eating. The chewing and swallowing muscles of young children may not be sufficiently developed to cope with certain treats. Choking can result. Halloween goodies also may "go down the wrong way," and lodge in the lung instead of the stomach. This is called aspiration. A "foreign object" of any kind in the lung can cause life-long problems. At times, surgery for removal is required. The best warning is: Be sure children are old enough to chew and swallow correctly before trusting them with small, hard bits of food. Parents should aways be on guard against "small objects" getting into the hands of children. Particularly those young enough to want to put everything into their mouths. Choking, blocked air passages, even aspiration into the lung can result. Moreover, such items as eyes and buttons that might come loose from dolls, or wheels from toy cars. Seta good example. Don't put anything but food into your own mouth and keep the coffee table clear of small objects a child might reach for.
