(ALFRED DUCHARME, Correspondent)
Mr. Pete Geoffrey whose barn
was destroyed by lightning last
year did not replace it as a barn
but at present he is building a
large shed which will answer for
different purposes. Grain barns
are not needed today as in the
years gone by. Not too many
farmers keep cattle where in
years gone by it was necessary
for stabblingand as well• to store
away their arvest under cover,
Not so today, most'farmers
have their combines and trucks
to haul their grain into their
grainery or take it to market the
same day. Mr. Geoffrey's shed
will answer for material storage
implements. At present he has
a large staff of men working on
the project before some colder
days come along.
At the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Avila Ducharme at Bayview
summer resort were visitors from
Sarnia, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond
Ducharme and daughters, also
from Zurich, Mr. and Mrs. Don-
ald Ducharme and Mr. and Mrs.
Don Masse being the occasion of
their mothers birthday. Such
occasions are always enjoyable
because they bring back mem-
ories of the past times.
Mrs. Theresa Hartman of Zur-
ich spent Monday evening last
at the home of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Fred Ducharme of
this highway.
Sometime ago a fair warning
was given to the public especial);
to those who take a sip of intox-
icating beverage before going on
a trip. If caught on the scene
you will have to make good for
it in dollars or perhaps the clink
or maybe both. The above law
becomes effective the beginning
of December. The authority be-
lieves it will be one way to pre-
vent accidents since there are
many accidents caused by drink-
ing while driving.

Make Yourself
Cosy for Winter
(This message brought to you
as a public service, terough the
courtesy of Hensall District
Co -Operative.)
If you want to get the most out
of your oil or gas or wood heating
check the heat output of your
heating plant and the heat loss
from your house.
Heat output is affected by the
condition of your furnace and
burner. If your furnace burns
constantly in cold weather, but
the house doesn't get warm, may
be it's because the filter is dirty.
Replace it with a new one. Don't
let your oil furnace operate with-
out a filter - it will simply re-
circulate house dust.
Heat output is also affected by
the position of warm air grilles •
and cold air return ducts. These
should be cleaned at least once
•a year. More important, when
they are properly installed your
heating plant and system should
deliver the correct amount of
heat to each room. Be sure they
are not obstructed.
Your service man should 'check
burner nozzles for wear and for
dirt that could lower burner•ef-
ficiency.
Controlling heat loss is done
in a number of simple but ef-
fective ways. The obvious one,
of course, is to equip your house
with storm windows and doors,
and insulate adequately. Building
codes may specify a minimum •o
two inches of mineral wool in
the ceiling for example, and
this may be considered enough,
But if youadd an extra three to
four inches (which won't cost
much) you'll find it controls heat
losses more satisfactorily.
Another technique to control
heat requirements is to keep a
fairly constant temperature in
your house. What many people
don't realize is that setting the
thermostat down low at night
makes the furncae work extra
hard to get house temperature
back up the next day. Research
has shown that a variance of
more that 5 deg. F. raises fuel
costs significantly. And then,
every degree you heat your house
over 72 degrees, your costs go
up by about 3%.
Proper humidity doesn't affect
heat loss or output much, but it

Stephen Plans To
Crack Down On
Building Permits
Stephen Township building
inspector Arnold McCann has
been instructed to keep a close
check on building construction
in the municipality.

ed that numerous buildings are
being erected without first ob-
taining a building permit. A
permit at a nominal fee is nec-
essary before construction of any
kind can begin.

cionstruction on farm properties.
Previously farm lands of more
than 10 acres had been exempt
from the bylaw.
The Ontario Fire Marshall's
Office is being asked to do a fire
protection survey throughout the
township and make recommend-
ations for improvement of fire
facilities and equipment.

Farmers Urged
To Use Shields
With winter coming up fast,
yards and lanes will soon be
blocked with snow. Many farm-
ers will be making their own
snowbl.owers - and while they
may do an excellent job of
clearing the way, they can also
be hazardous.
Oscar Snyder, Safety Coord-
inator with the Farm Safety Cou-
ncil of Ontario, notes that many
snowblowers do not have shields
over their power takeoff. This
can be very dangerous, and
farmers using snowblowing equip-
ment should ensure their P.I.O.
is well guarded.
Mr. Snyder also points out
that blowers should always be
stopped if they plug, so that
clearance of the mechanism can
be carried out safely.
Mr. Snyder reported that a
survey conducted by the Farm
Safety Council this past summer
has showed that 23% of all P.T, 0
shields on manure spreaders
were not in place or were not
working properly. Because this
piece of equipment is used a
great deal in winter, the danger
of getting heavy or loose cloth-
ing caug-itin an unguarded P, T.
O. is very real. Several farmers
have been maimed and injured
this way.
Farmers should take the trouble
to check their shields and guards
and, if necessary, take time out
to repair them.
