(The World Oil Price - A
.. RiOff)
There is hardly a day
when some service
stations in Ontario do not
increase the price of gas
by a few cents. Proof can
even be found in
Goderich, where the
price of gas stations goes
up ahead of OPEC every
week.
I wish to explain that
we are paying far more
than the w orld price and
lem will continue in secrecy
the Libera 1 government
in- the past and the
Progressive Con-
servative Government of
today are just pulling the
wool over our eyes.
The world price of one
barrel of oil is around $24.
There are 48 gallons in

price of a gallon of oil is
more than $1 the price
paid by us today of 48
gallons is over $50110 at
every gas station. Every
Canadian is paying over

Flowers not weeping
Dear Editor:
No, Martha, I do not
think our flowers were
weeping at, the end of the
season. They had been
well cared for; they had
been enjoyed and ad-
mired by local residents
and visitors alike all
summer.
A closer look at the
parks work .would reveal
that our Parks Foreman,
Peter Spain, and his
small crew are not
strictly •regimented, but
work with a great•deal of
cdmmon sense flexibility,
adjusting their activities
to the obvious en-
vironmental conditions.
They went down the
line of disi'nantling the
flowerbeds in the order in
which the beds became
dilapidated, holding on to
the better preserved ones
as long as possible.
Even when a hest was
past its hest and had to be
dismantled, Peter picked
out the better looking
flowers and made them
available to anyone who
was interested in potting
them (mainly geraniums,
dusty miller, etc.)
As an example, I would
