The family and friends who gathered to help devour the sumptuous feast also marvelled at the breath -taking beauty of the fall colors, The 'creek were ablaze in their brilliant red, orange and yellow leaves. But, alas, the leaves will soon be gone and the long cold winter months will follow. No doubt over the weekend many reflected on the present and past and found countless reasons for giving thanks. In these econom- ically troubled times, with high inflation, high unemployment and an extremely overwhelming state of discontent, it be- comes difficult to find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Watching so many people who are suffering from illness or the loss of a loved one results in a period of unanswerable questions. But no matter what the trouble, there is a reason to give thanks. We should give thanks for being able to have shared in the past and most of all for the countless memories which are our legacy. We should give thanks for the strength to face those days of uncertainty and for the courage to overcome any unforseen obstacle that lies ahead. We too often take for granted the beautiful terrain on which we build our humble abode. The green grass, 'productive soil, with mother nature co-operating to sprinkle with rain when needed and adding that touch of sunshine to provide the get up and grow for the crops. It seems to be much easier to express our concern for the flood areas in California and Arizona and for the people in the war torn parts of the world, but how often did anyone say thanks for being blessed with the country we live in, our land. our friends and our family. What a shame one never realizes the importance of our freedom and those whose paths we cross until one or other is gone..

Director of education Paul Sherratt made a public response at the board's Oct. 4 meeting to a letter to the editor which ap- peared last month m the Stratford Beacon - Herald. In the letter, Alan Riehl of RR 1 Stratford said he had found and removed some school equipment located in a garbage bin on the site of North Easthope Public School. Mr. Sherratt read from a list which outlin- ed the history of some discarded equipment and related the varying reasons why it was discarded. Some equipment was unsafe and others would be too costly to repair, he in- dicated. Mr. Riehl's letter mentioned equipment such as five reel-to-reel tape recorders, one Kodak 16 mm sound movie projector, three 35 mm film projectors, school desks, an eight foot by 14 foot trampoline, a 3M photocopier. manual typewriters, black and white TV monitors and cases of video film. "The point I'm trying to make is that the cost of getting rid of the equipment is of the least cost to the board," said Mr. Sherratt after reading his list. Trustee Rodney Bell of Shakespeare said ' items' were disposed of that are of value to someone. He added that some taxpayers are upset and he considers their feelings justified. He had brought some items to the board meeting which had been in the garbage at the North Easthope school. Mr. Bell had a video tape of Huckleberry Finn and a book which had color slides of the human lanatomy. The trustee said taxpayers think that the board in being wasteful. He suggested, as did Listowel trustee Rev. John Anderson, that the items be donated to home and school associations or a similar group. The director of education said steps are taken to sell equipment that is no longer of any use to the schools. "We go to a high degree to find a use," SAVE FFIS71SE of Brian has gone mad! �.

I am satisfied that the equipment was legitimately disposed," said the director. Stratford trustee Ron Richards said as far as he is concerned, Mr. Riehl stole the equipment from board property. 'Does the public have the right to go through our garbage?" asked Mr. Richards. "I don't think we want everybody and his aunt walking through school property ... the next thing we'll find them in our buildings." - Board chairman Dereck Ward said "I'm not exactly speaking for the board ,., but beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Mr. Ward said it is "embarrassing" that what to some is garbage is hot necessarily so to others. "We shouldn't be faulted," commented trustee Anderson, "We tried to sell it and can't." The onus is on the community to either act or not. The onus is not on us."

Kissing that old flame goodbye isn't the only way to reduce your oil consumption. If that oil furnace is still in good shape, you can take advantage of converting to a dual energy heating system. Instead of replacing your furnace, introduce it to an electric plenum heater, heat pump, electric boiler or baseboard heaters. These dual energy systems let oil and electricity work in harmony to heat your home more efficiently_ and more economically. Operation is simple. The electric system works until the coldest winter days, then your oil furnace automatically takes over. In most cases, add-on electric heat will reduce oil consumption by up to 75"0. Even more in some cases. And a reduction of that magnitude can make a dramatic difference to the total cost of heating your home. The Plenum Heater 'The "plenum" is the warm air chamber at the top of your forced air oil furnace. refrigerator, the heat pump extracts that warmth and pumps it into your home. right after the dinner, which is a deluxe smorgasbord by Valma Miller and staff.

In the summer, your heat pump works in reverse and becomes a central air conditioner. It's no Nigger than a stall suitcase and can be casils installed. Baseboard Heaters Electric baseboards can also he used as a dual energy system. They're installed in individual moms to quietly handle most of the heating load.
