Lisa Arsenault, supervisor of the camp, said thecamp tries to create a French en- vironment and children are taught French songs and actions. "The children at this age come in with no prejudice," she said. "They love it. and they have a lot of fun." The theme for this week's five to seven year olds is "Pioneer Days." Arsenault said the activities for the week included costume day, where the children dressed up like pioneers or Indians at Point Farms Park, and visiting the , Pioneer Sports World. The children also had an open house for parents on Friday: The open house featured crafts made bythe children during the week and the singing of the French songs they learned. This week the French Camp continues with children aged 8 to 12. This program was created with the safety of people and the protection of boats in mind. It will: • put ongoing maintenance of existing small craft har- bours and facilities on a sounder financial footing: • re -open harbour facilities closed for safety reasons; • repair damage caused by • storms or high water levels; • launch new services and facilities at some harbours th it will melt the expand- ing needs of fishermen, yachtsmen and local industries. But more importantly local harbour authorities created under this revitaliza-. tion program will, with the Federal government support, give fishermen and other users a more direct role in the planning, management, operation and maintenance of their harbour. Project proposals will be analyzed and funded on their individual merits, and announcements on funding will be made as decisions are reached. 1+1 Fisheries and Oceans Niches et Oceans Tom Siddon, Minister Niches Siddon, Ministre Canada The Goderich French Camp also spent time painting their faces Friday at Point Farms Park.

It went on to set a new record of 475 days before it was shut down August 12. The previous record of 439 days, 8 hours and 29 minutes was held by Oconee -2, an American pressurized water reactor owned and operated by the Duke Power Company in South Carolina. Unit 5 also surpassed a record held by Bruce Unit 3 for 498 days of continuous reactor operation. In 1986 Bruce Unit 5 ranked sixth among the world's power reactors in yearly perfor- mance, and in fourth place for lifetime per- formance. Unit 5 was placed in full commer- cial service on March 1, 1985. ENERGY EFFICIENCY AWARDS The Canadian Electrical Association has selected a Strathroy company as the provin- cial winner in the Annual Industrial Energy Efficiency Awards. With help from Ontario Hydro, CAE Magnesium recently converted the melting process in its casting operations to electrici- ty from gas. In another competition, sponsored by ASHRAE (American Society for Heating, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning Engineers ), The Feathers Restaurant, Toronto, Toronto placed first in its region for "outstanding achievement in the design of energy effi- cient buildings". This Canadian Electrical Association pro- ject was carried out under the direction of Maier Perlman of Ontario Hydro's Research Division. Hydro was involved in the design, installation and monitoring of the heat recovery system. WATT'S UP WINS AWARD Ontario Hydro's cable television series "Watt's Up" picked up two first place ' awards last month at the American - dominated Hometown U.S.A. Video Festival in Chicago. The cable television series, aired on more than 45 cable stations in Ontario, was elected as best magazine series and best in- ternational series from among the 1,400 en- trants in the competition. "Watt's Up" was also • selected as a finalist in two other categories. ANOTHER POWER PEAK A new summer peak demand for electrici- ty of 18.2 million kilowatts was reached July 13, up 7.6 per cent from the same month last year. This record-setting demand can be at- tributed to hot and humid weather the first three weeks of July. Ontario customers used 9.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in July, up 5.7 per cent from the same month last year. EXPORT REVENUES Ontario Hydro sold an" estimated 494 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to the United States in July, earning Ontario con • - sumers over $5 million in revenues.
