Ma. y homeowners are
wast ng hundreds of
heat': g dollars every
year;, ecause their homes
are of adequately in-
sula'.- d. Chances are,
that ay include you.
So take a look at your
fuel bill. Simply by,
upg ;' ding your home to
the ', roper insulation
stan ' : rds, you could save
30 pe cent or more. That
repr .sents hundreds of
do ars every year.
You can' do something
about it right now, par-
ticularly with a federal
grant that helps pay for
insulation materials.
The Federal Gover-
nment's Canadian Horne
Insulation Program
distributes, on request, a
copy of 'a kit about the
program, to all eligible
Ontario residents.
To qualify for the
program at the present
time, the home must be a
principle residence of
three storeys or less and
built before 1946. The
grant is for two-thirds of
the actual purchase price
of Central Mortgage and
Housing Corporation's
accepted insulation
materials with' the
maximum grant being
$350.
To. _date, more than
147,000 Ontario
households have
requested the in-
formation kit and more
than 39,000 have applied
under the program.
If you are interested in
the program ' and in
receiving a kit with more
information on the
program, write to:

A picture and cutline
that appeared in last
week's newspaper was a
little shy on the amount
earned by the Benmiller
Foresters for their work
parking cars at the
International Plowing
Match. The picture
showed parking com-
mittee chairman for IPM
Hugh Flynn presenting a
cheque to Forester of-
ficials and said that the
Foresters had earned
$1,400 for parking a little
Over half the cars at the
match. The amount of the
cheque was $4,954.50.
retired seaman who
brought Goderich Town
Council's attention to the
Unidentified Seamen's
Plot located in the
Maitland Cemetery
earlier this year, will be
trying to find five un-
marked seamen's graves
in Kincardine Cemetery
next spring with the
blessing of Kincardine
Town Council.
The Kincardine graves,
like the Goderich ones,
are part of the death toll
from the Great Storm of
1913 that claimed over 200
sailors' lives.
Leading a "one man
crusade" to mark the
grave sites, Mr. Pen-
nington has told , Kin-
cardine council that his
purpose is, "to see if we
can have these graves
located and marked in
some way."
"Goderich has the only
marked historical site
from that storm and I
would like to see
something done up here,"
he told Kincardine
councillors at a meeting
on Thursday, December
7.
Council then passed a
motion granting $1,000 for
the marking of the grave
site if it is found. The
search for the site will be
carried out probably in
the north west corner of
the cemetery, the same
location the Sea Scouts of
Kincardine made a
search.

Three years of public
support for Ontario's
lotteries has produced
more than $250 million for
culture and recreational
projects and health-
related research, ac-
cording to the Ontario
Lottery Corporation's
third annual report which
was tabled in the
legislature recently.
The Corporation's
fiscal year 1977-78 yielded
profits of $100 million on
combined Wintario and
Provincial sales of $240.4
million.
Thirty-four new
millionaires and 134
winners of $100,000 in
1977-78 joined the more
than 2.5 million ticket
holders who have so far
claimed prizes in the two
lotteries.
A gallup poll has shown
that 85 percent of Ontario
households play the
Wintario lottery and 66
percent play the
Provincial lottery.
According to the annual
report, better than one
person in four in Ontario
has come up a winner in
either the Provincial or
Wintario.

And speaking of lot-
teries, there are three
$1,000 winners to an-
nounce this week in the
Goderieh . and District
Community Grandstand
