The truth, °the whole truth, and nothing but the -truth aoout home heating. Ay Are you confused about home fuels? What with everybody' and his brother telling yod how economical, convenient, quiet and automatic his particular system is, you must feel like flying south for the winter. But if you have to stay and face a cdld, hard Winter, (like most of us) better read, these cold, hard facts. Wood and coal re probably the most economical fuels to buy— but they're also the least efficient. And'sooner or later you'll get tired of slaving over a dirty furnace—then what? You can choose between a liquid fuel or so-called "flameless" heating. Or natural gas. All of them claim to be the best. Who should you believe? • Initial installation costs are higher for liquid fuel equipment than for gas. A gas unit has fewer moving parts, needs less maintenance '• and therefore lasts longer. In order for "flatneless" heating to compete in operating cost, it requires extra -thick insulation throughout the home. If your home had extra -thick insulation, no matter what kind of heating system you use, you'd naturally cut fuel costs. With extra. insulation or normal insulation, a gas heating system means lower fuel costs by far. You never halve to order natural'gas—it's always there. A good, old-fashioned Canadian snowstorm can't stop natural gas from heating your home. Storms can stop trucks. They can also knock out power lines—and very often do. Unless you -have your own generator, "flameless" heating can give you the cold shoulder, just when you need a warm house. Let's face it—nothing is as dependable as natural gas. With "flameless" heating, there are no filters to replace. There &mid be. With this kind of system, there is little air circulation; no way to prevent hot and cold "layers" of stale air from forming; ' no way to remove dust and dirt particles from the air; no way to control humidity. Wouldn't you rather have a heating system that took care of these vital functions—even if it meant cleaning a filter occasionally? When you get right down to it, modern automatic gas heating' has the edge in just about every department. But if you're still not convinced, maybe this will help: if you install a gas conversion ' burner in your existing furnace now, or even install a brand-new gas design furnace—you pay absolutely nothing until next October. What's more, we'll spread out the cost of the installation in easy monthly payments—over 5 years if need be. Unless you know% someone who'll chop your wood for free, you won't get a better deal than this—anywhere ! WhY not make the switch to natural gas heating right now.

The Is- land—as residents call it—is setting the for the 1967 Centennial by marking this year the 100th anniversary of C o nfederation Conference of 1864. I' flew there last week to see. what was afoot. It is a stir- ring 'emotional experience to stand in the room in which John A. Macdonald and other delegates from Canada present- ed to Maritime representatiVe their proposal for a Confedera- of all the British colonies of North America. The Canadians hadn't been invited to the conference, as we all should remember from our history books. The Mari - timers were meeting to talk about an Atlantic union, but it took little persuasion to bend the Charlottetown Conference. R. Argyle WIND • TORNADO • CYCLONE. Insurance R. F.

Farmers' Weather Insurance Mutual Co., Woodstock Ont. in. favor of a union from the Atlantic to the Great Lakes. - The delegates adjourned to meet a few weeketlater in Que- bec. City when final resolutions were approved for the British North America Act which on its passage by the British par- liament brought Canada into existence on July 1, 1867. To commemorate the first conference, an imposing Fath- ers of Confederation Memorial Building has been erected in Charlottetown at a cost of 'five, and one-half million dollars. It includes a modern 1,206 -seat theatre, 'art gallery, archives and meeting halls. It sits next to the old Provincial Buildings, where the, deply-rutted _con- crete steps leading into the building and the original con- ference room bear testimonyrto the thousands of feet which have trod in the footsteps of the .Fathers of Confederation in the 'past century. ' The Memorial Building is basically a cultural centre and it was opened with the Domin- ion .Drama Festival at which amateur • play groups from all parts of the country perform- ed. BecauSe-Prinee, Edward Is- land • has a population- Of only 105'4100 with little 'industry otherthan farinigg and- fishing,' the cost was shared by all ten proviricial governments and Ot- tawa. As a result, every' Cana- dian has a 30 cent share in the structure. It might be wondered why such an elaborate building' should be erected in isolated Prince Edward Island. To me, it is a sign of Canada's coming of age—that we at last feel strongly enough about our heri- i tage and our cultural values to sink hard cash into this kind of a _proect. The Island draws thousands of 'tourists each year, and I pre- dict it will draw many more in the future. For -those who haven't been there, I can only say it's an emerald island, main- ly pastoral, but with beautiful beaches, warm ocean water, rich red soil, striking green meadows and interesting towns. Charlettetown, the capital,' has only 18,000 people and the oth-, er main town, Summerside, has less than 9,000. Politically, the island is wor- ried about the tendency of the Plus a hqst of other .New richer provinces to assert great- ' Machines er autonomy in fiscal affairs. FARM TIRES— Its Conservative pfemier, ' the vigorous 75 -year-old Walter Shaw, is worried that the Is- land will lose out on federal assistance. This is a fear shar- ed by many provincial premiers who are unsure' of where the path of Ottawa's new "co-opera- tive federalism" will lead Can- esommilP4mmimPl'uoillill!4111111114, ada• FARMERS!

Under the agreement which is negotiated annualy by pro- ducer representatives and the trade, minimum prices remain at s1..65 per bushel for grades No. 1 and No. 2; $1,62 for grade No. '3 and $1.30 for Grades No. 4 and No. 5, and 'grades No. 1 and No. 2 mixed wheat, and wheat grading lower due to ex- cessive sprouting and 1 ow weight. The agreement covers wheat soldduring the period between 1965. The escalator clause which is designed to offset interest and storage costs to producers met agreement on the same bails al last year. Starting in October 1964, the floor price will increase 2 cents per bushel per month up to and including the month of February 1965, for ta total in- crease of 10 cents per bushel over the basic $1.65. The minimum will remain at the $1.75 .level through March and April, then drop Ave cents per bushel in May and again in June, returning to $1.65. . R. T. Bolton, RR 1, Seaforth, chairman of. the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board, announced results of the nego- tiations. He said that in eon - sideration liothe present excel- lent prospects for' the 1964 wheat crop following on the heels of an exceptionally heavy volume crop last year and all other aspects including the world market picture, it was felt that the price agreement is in line with market condi- tions and should prove satisfac- tory to all concerned. Negotiations were chaired by Bruce Teasdale, representing the Ontario Farm Products Mar- keting Board. Representing t h e, Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board were R. T. Bolton; A. R. Coulter, Campbellville; Peter MacKinnon, -Bath; M, R. Mc- Dougall, Blenheim; Harry Fer- guson, Keswick, and K. A. Standing, Chatham.
