Have A Sale Halloween
Today, Halloween is in-
tended as a time of fun, but
smart parents know that there
are some precautions they
should take.
• If you use a jack -o -lan-
tern to decorate your home,
it is better to light it with a
flashlight than with a candle.
• If you do use a candle
keep the jack -o -lantern out
of reach of youngsters.
• Be sure the costumes
your children wear are not
flammable.
• Have your children carry
a flashlight if they go out
after dark.
• Children who will be out
at night should have reflective
tape on their clothing and
costumes.

Save energy and money
The many ways a householder
can save on energy consumption
around the home all add up to
direct savings --money that
could be spent on other family
priorities instead of the annual
energy bill.
During Energy Conservation
Week (October 31 -November 6),
take a look around your home for
some of the obvious areas of
waste. Is your home insulated to
the standards of the revised
Ontario building Code? Are the
windows and doors caulked or
weatherstripped? Is your furnace
in top working order?
By insulating, caulking and
having your furnace properly
maintained, you could reduce
your annual energy bill by as
much as 40 percent.
Lowering daytime tem-
peratures from 22 degrees to 20
(72 degrees F to 68 degrees F)
and nightime temperatures to 17
(63 degrees F) could save an
additional 15 percent.
On a $400 fuel bill these four
steps could mean a combined
saving of up to $180 per year.
Here are some of the ways to
save:
1. Lower the thermostat to 13
degrees (55 degrees F) when
leaving the house for a day or so.
2. Draw the drapes over all
windows during winter nights to
reduce heat loss through glass.
Keep them open on sunny days.
3. Clean or replace air filters on
warm air heating systems at
Least once a month.
4. Avoid overheating the fur-
nace. Keep a constant daytime
temperature and don't play with
the thermostat.
5. a 40 -watt fluorescent bulb
gives more light than a 100 -watt
incandescent . . , and it lasts 10
times as long.
6. A fire in the fireplace may
draw off 20 percent of the heat
from the rest of the house. When
the fireplace is not in use, make
sure the damper is closed
7. Install storm windows and
doors.
8. Check the caulking around
windows and doors.
