The amount of water being used to cool the condensor for the big compressor had gone virtually unnoticed for many years, until the public utilities commission in- stalled a water meter at the arena this summer. Under the flat rate billing system the arena water bill was $62 a month; with the meter, this skyrocketed to $2,000 for the first month, gradually dropping back to about $1,200 as the cooler weather did not require the compressor to run so much. The size of the bills made it apparent something had to be done, Recreation Director Rennie Alexander noted, so last week an engineer was called in to go through the system and make recom- mendations. The engineer recom- mended installing an evaporative condensor on the cooling system. This would carry an initial price tag of about $20,000, but would reduce the water used from the current rate of 35 gallons per minute to about 15 gallons an hour — a reduction of more than 99 per SENIOR LADIES High doubles last week were recorded by Vera' Schneider 333; Agnes Far- rier 310; Jean Mathers 307 and Elizabeth Robertson 303.

Although the initial cost is high, Mr. Alexander noted, with a one-third government grant available the installa- tion could pay for itself in one year through reduced water costs. He said he plans to budget for it in 1986, though he noted it would be up to council whether or not to approve the purchase. He also noted the equip- ment could not be installed until the ice -making com- pressor is turned off in the spring. PUC Manager Ken Saxton said it was a surprise to him too to find out just how much water was going through the arena. "We knew they used a lot, but we didn't realize it was as much as that." He said the PUC has found water consumption in town is going up and up, and it has been installing meters on some of the major users in an attempt to determine just where all the water is going. All the major industries are currently metered, he kaid, as well as the schools and now the arena. Since the installation of the water -to -air heat pumps at the Town Hall, that building has also been put on a meter, Mr. Saxton reported, though he did not know just how much water is being used there. During last week's inaugural council meeting, Reeve Bruce Machan pointed out another sideto the problem of water wastage. All that water going through the arena condensor ends up in the sewer and has to be pumped out to the lagoon, he noted. This aggravates the problem of "hydraulic over- load", which is partially responsible for the proposal to sp nd nearly $2 million on im rovements and ex - pan ions of the town's sae ary sewer system.

Howick Atoms tie Ripley 3®3 In a well -played game in Ripley last Thursday evening, the Howick WOAA Atoms played to a 3-3 tie. Howick quickly jumped into a 2-0 lead on goals by Aaron Stewart and Michael Greig, but sloppy play on Howick's behalf enabled Ripley to tie the game on goals by Trevor Van Sickle and. Dean Stanley. Ripley took a 3-2 lead with six minutes to play in the third period on a goal by Brad Fludder, but Howick's Ryan Gallaher tied the match with three minutes left to go. Getting assists for Howick were Stewart, Kyle Wheeler and Michael Hargrave. The Howick Atoms had another tie in league play last Sunday evening as they played Wallace to a 3-3 draw.

Bev McBride brought bread, bananas, peanut butter, cream cheese, cheese spread, sunflower seeds, raisins and . pickles. After using a cookie cutter and concocting their own sand- wiches, the Brownies sat a circle and ate their sand- wiches and had a can of pop. Amy Bateman, Amy Jo Cretier, Wendy McBride and Shannon Simpson dressed as Santa's elves .to distribute the presents. Each Brownie also received a Snoopy tree ornament as a gift from the leaders. Nancy Inwood made all the ornaments. In addition to the above- mentioned leaders, Dianne. Simpson, Joanne Cretier, Sylvia, Anderson and party moms Donna Skinn and Lois Baynton helped to make the party a great success.

Mrs. Stan Hays began with a study of Portugal. This seaside country has one of the weakest economies in Western Europe. industries include tourism, textiles, 'machinery., _chemicals.. and cork, with exports of forest products, wine, fruits and vegetables and fish. Lately, grape -growing on the rocky hillsides and wine - making are growing more important. As well, tourism in the southern province of Algarve is a fast-growing 'ndustry. The average worker is much poorer than n Canada and can't afford ail thu. luxuries that we Enjoy. Mrs. H. Bos added the legend of the Portuguese rooster, which is used on many souvenie items. The guest, 'Mrs• George Underwood, then related interesting facts learned from a trip to Brazil last winter. Crime is so rampant there that drivers don't stop for red lights in The evening for fear of being robbed. Taxis are Volkswagens whose operators drive like wild fiends. As it was an agricultural tour the Underwoods were taken to visit an orphanage where Holstein cattle from Canada are crossed with native breeds to increase their income. Children from poor families are taken home at age 14 'when they can go to work to assist the family finances. Day care, which is beginning there, is a godsend to,poor people. A top wage for a worker is $100. a' month. Staple foods include black beans and rice. In some areas, coffee is being replaced by sugar cane which is more lucrative. With the more tropical climate there, two or three crops of soya beans can be grown in .a year. Cotton is shipped to the United States and returned as cloth. Cars run on alcohol made from sugar cane, which is cheaper. The government is trying to make education available for all. Mrs. Edgar Dane told something T hemp To Great Britain last summer. She said that English women do not wear slacks, prefer- ring dresses and high -healed shoes which go clickety- claCk on the " cobblest01e streets.
