As winter approaches,
Ontario Hydro is asking
customers to keep their
Christmas displays
modest to conserve
electricity.
Winter months, with
the shorter daylight
periods and colder
weather, result in a
pronounced increase in
daily electricity demands
-- as much as 2,000,000 to
3,000,000 kilowatts over
those experienced during
the summer, according to
D.R. Code, Hydro's
Manager of Energy
Conservation.
While not wanting to
discourage the Christmas
spirit, Hydro points out
the need to moderate the
size ,and use of lighting
displays and utilize the
lower wattage bulbs as
part of Ontario's con-
servation program.
Hydro is once again
using the theme, "leave
your lights until after
seven and turn them off
around eleven" for the
use of indoor and outdoor
Christmas lighting
displays for homes,
stores and offices.
Hydro does not an-
tic'ipate problems in
meeting power needs this
winter. However, electric
power consumption
grows each year, and in
order . to keep the in-
creases moderate, Hydro
asks consumers to cut
back on their use of
electrical energy
wherever they can,such
as with Christmas
displays.

About six weeks ago, a
group of people in the
Sarnia area got together
for the purpose of for-
ming a group „to ..in ,
vestigate _re` arts` of P
Unidentified Flying
Objects.
After establishing
contact with UFO
Investiagation, a group
engaged in similar ac-
tivities in Windsor, the
Sarnia team is beginning
operation as Post N of the
Windsor organization:
Right now the main
interests of Post N's
members are in-
vestigating reports and
gaining new members to
help with the running of
the Post. The group is
interested in receiving
reports from Lambton,
Huron and Kent counties
but reports are also
considered from outside
this general area.
So far, Post N has
covered about six cases,
including a possible
landing of a UFO outside
of Sarnia but the mem-
bers hope to increase this
rate as knowledge of their
existence spreads.
If anyone wishes either
to discuss membership or
to report a sighting,
confidentially,' they
should contact the Sec-
tion Head, Mrs. Dorothy
Lewis at 344-8248 or write
to the group at P.O. Box
2550, Sarnia, N7T 7T1.

western Canada- Very
well and also the north-
eastern and Michigan -
Illinois area from . his
position as St. Lawren-
ce's head recruiter,"

Bader, a Toronto op-

children's vision, says
early detection of sym-
ptoms of vision dif-
ficulties is a major factor
in successful treatment.
Recent studies have
shown that 40 per cent of

Facilities for reading
the microfilm are readily
available in all hospitals.
For reasons of con-
fidentiality, it can not be
read with the naked eye.
To maximize and en-
sure accuracy of medical
data on the card,
Medistat Canada
requests that all in-
formation be obtained
from the physician rather
than the individual.
Medistat Canada ac-
companies this request
with a release form
signed by the individual
(parent -guardian if under
18 years). The physician
retains .a copy of the
application as proof of
what information was
given at the request of his
patient.
Costs for the card are

under' - $6; and 60 years

easy to identify if a
parent or teacher knows
what to look for, says Dr.
Bader.
Such physical symp-
toms as reddened eyes or
lids, excessive tear
production, itching eyes
or complaints ' of
headaches in the
forehead and temples,
particularly when related
to desk work or reading,
indicate the need for a
thorough, professional
examination.
Other symptoms of
visual problems may be
detected by observing a
child's behaviour. Does
the child turn his head
while reading across the
page, or lose his place
often, or use a finger
marker to keep his place?
Is his attention span
unusually short while
reading or copying? 'Is
eye hand co-ordination
poor?
Dr. Bader says the
improved recognition of
easily , identifiable
symptoms by parents and
teachers is all important.
