Correction In our column last week we incorrectly reported some of the participants in the Ross- Thompson rehearsal luncheon at the Albion Hotel, The item John T. Clement, Ontario Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations, last __week called for the,q,careful usage of oil-fired space heaters. "There is no doubt that oil- fired space heaters can deliver warm, safe heat," he said, "but if care and caution are not exercised, these units, like all other heating equipment that is not looked after, can create real tragedy." With the approach of cold weather, many of these units are coming into operation, and should have read that Mr. and Mrs. Duncan. Ross ofGuelph honoured their son, Lieutenant Allan D. Ross C.F.B. Navy of Victoria, 13.0, and Miss Carol Ann Thompson of Clinton and Victoria 13.0., only daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Duff Thompson of Clinton, prior to their marriage at a luncheon on Friday evening. Miss Thomp- son and Lieut. Ross were married Saturday in Trinity Anglican Church by the Rector, Rev, George Yousnatoff, Lenny Ross of Victoria, B.C. was best man for his brother and Mr, Peter Thompson of Port Perry, Ont., brother of the bride, was usher.

Mr. Clement's comments came as . he announced the publication of the new booklet "Oil-Fired Space Heaters and Your Safety", produced by the Energy Safety Branch of the ministry's Technical Standards Division. "We urge owners and users of these units to have them ser- viced on an annual basis by a licensed burner serviceman", Mr. Clement said, "However, we realize that this kind of ser- vice is not always available, so the booklet outlines the steps by which the owner or user of a simple oil-fired space heater can provide minimal service to a unit. I would stress that it is by far preferable to have a qualified serviceman, perform this work," the Minister said. Mr. Clement also urged caution in the use of fuels. "Never, ever use any fuel that might contain gasoline," Mr. Clement said. "A volatile fuel like gasoline can turn a space heater into a bomb." "A little extra thought is the key to safety", said the Minister. "Just a bit of effort and common sense with an oil- fired space heater can produce a safe, warm winter and eliminate a lot of grief."

"We're going to help an oil prospector, back in 1900," said the Wizard. "He broke his drill, and he can't afford a new one. If we don't help him now, he won't strike oil, and a whole town will never be built," Soon the Wizard's surrey landed on the plain next to the prospector's rig. "You need a diamond drill," said Rick. "That can cut through anything," He pulled a pencil out of his pocket. "This lead is really carbon, and so is diamond. It should be easy to change one into the other." He took the Wizard's staff and burned a hole in a big rock. He put the pencil inside. "What are you doing?" asked the Wizard. "You'll see." And Rick pointed the staff at another rock. "Watch out!" he called. ,The rock rose up into the air. 1 Then it started down. Rick ',tripped. Crash! "My rig!" yelled the prospector. The big rock had wrecked it. "You need some help, son," said the Wizard.

However, sometimes the report- ing goes astray, when the news is printed. Some of our friends think this is amusing. Some don't. We at your local newspaper don't laugh easily when a mistake is made in your local paper. But in spite of our best efforts, it does happen occasionally. Even the editor had to smile when this caption appeared in his newspaper under the picture of a fallen tree: The tree downed at this home damaged spouting and shingles . . . it was snapped by a violent guest. In another newspaper, the coronation of a high school beauty queen took an unusual turn when the proofreaders overlooked this one: Queen Margie White was escorted to her throne by co-captains Jim Black and Frank Gruff. There she was presented with roses and drowned.. Sometimes the classified ads are full of surprises, too. The young lady who ran this advertisement is still wishing that her friends 'would let her forget it; Wanted: Large well-furnished room by young woman about fifteen feet square, Then there was the time one of our nice ladies, trying to do her part to add to the Christmas spirit of her home city, found herit efforts recorded thus: Mrs. X set up a still life cornposi- tion of angel figurines and greenery entitled, "Hark the Herald Angel's Sin," So, when you see one like this: The Rotary male quartet will sing, "I need three every hour . . ." Or this: I I am now in position to hatch your eggs at five cents per egg . .. please remember that local newspapers are regarded by readers as a friend they can't do without, and even a good friend is bound to make a mistake once in a while. When you stop to consider that over a million inches of news are reported each week in hundreds of weekly newspapers throughout Canada, a mistake here and there doe,s,%'t sound too bad to some people, But a misspelled name of a local citizen itt a news story is no laughing matter „ if it's about yell, the staff, the derrick was standing up again. "Now where did you want that rock?" Rick pointed. The Wizard pointed his staff and the rock rose into the air again, It came crashing down onto the other rock. There was a flash of light, and the rock split open. "Real diamonds!" the prospector shouted. They fixed the drill. And as Rick and the Wizard flew off in the surrey, they could see the first gush of oil from ties well, Copyright 0 AVS Technical Services. 1974. All world rights reserved.
