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

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."

Heaters and Your Safety" can

The Ontario Provincial
Police has purchased two bell
jet renger helicopters to com-
plement the force's existing
fleet of fixed-wing aircraft,
solicitor general George A.
Kerr, Q.C., announced today.
In commenting on this ex-
pansion of O.P.P. Services,
Commissioner H.H. Graham
said, "The use of the two
helicopters will add greater
flexibility to the movement of
O.P.P. personnel, and will help
the force provide even better
protection and service to the
people of Ontario."
The force will take delivery
of the helicopters on October
21, 1974. They will be put in
service as soon as they have
been outfitted with OPP iden-
tification decals, radio, loud-
speakers, searchlights, and
other safety and rescue equip-
ment
The helicopters will be
based near Toronto and will be
spsed in a wide variety of sup%.
port and- emergency roles
across the province.
A number of OPP members
are experienced pilots who
already hold a commercial
licence. In addition, several are
licenced helicopter pilots. After
a brief training and
familiarization period they will
pilot the new acquisitions.
The jet rangers are capable
of carrying four passengers,
They have a maximum cruising
speed of 142 miles per hour and
a cruising range of 372 miles.
They will have high skid lan-
ding equipment that is inter-
changeable with fixed floats.
They will have an internal
cargo hook and hoist equip-
ment.
Currently, the OPP operates
six fixed-wing aircraft under
lease. In addition, they have
acquired a turbo beaver which
will soon be operational in
providing improved policing
service to remote communities
in the Northwestern region of
Ontario. Six Cessna 172 air-
craft arc used in Southern On-
tario for traffic enforcement
patrols, and search and rescue
operations.

"Where are we going this
time?" Rick Rogers asked.
"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.

yelled the prospector. The big
rock had wrecked it. "You
need some help, son," said
the Wizard. With a touch of

Your local newspaper's prime function is
to present the news ... honestly and fully.
That's all. 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

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
