Kitchener,Waterloo motor ists concerned about energy shortages are leading the way by recycling used motor oil, pouring it into Used-Oil Wells set up in 13 service stations throughout the area. Ontario's Waste Manage- ment Advisory Board and Environment Canada, are co- . sponsoring the pilot resource recovery project in conjunc- tion with the Retail Council of Canada and the Ontario Petroleum Association. "Together we have crea- ted a wishing-well motif for the used-oil depots, which I think is an eye-catching idea with an excellent chance of success," said Ontario Envir- onment Minister Harry C. Parrott. "There's a potential trading area, was added. Like many community newspaper people, the new CCNA president feels there are strong family ties to the industry. His eldest son, Cam, is the manager of The Port Colborne News and the Consumer News; daughter- in-law, Vicky, is editor at Port Colborne, while son- in-law, Walter Kleer, is ad- vertising director of both Port Colborne and Welland publications. Eldest daugh- ter Carol, is editor and general manager of The In- gersoll Times. The younger children, still attending school, all work part-time in the newspaper ranks. Lining the walls at the sleek new 18,000 square foot head office and plant in Tillsonburg are dozens of awards and certificates pre- sented in better newspaper competitions and for com- munity service, proof that over the years the company's newspapers have served their communities and have done it well. In the newspaper industry, McKnight has served as president of the Class "A" Weeklies of Canada; pres- ident of the Southwestern for recovering six million gallons of oil presently discare ded by motorists in Ontario alone," Federal Environment Min, ister John Fraser expressed his hope that the program continue as a co-operative effort: "It is essential in this period of energy shortages that we recover our non-re- newable resources. I would like to see this idea converted into significant energy sav- ings for all Canadians in a national application of the project." The plan sets out to recycle used motor oil currently dis- carded on the ground or in garbage cans by self-oil-chan- gers, and put it back to work again as a multi - purpose lubricant or as a fuel. Rather than wasting a valuable ener- gy resource, the motorists stop at the nearest depot and pour the liquid into a .45 gallon drum called a "Used Oil. Well,," easily identified in most depots as an old-fas- hioned wishing well on wheels. Province-wide, about ten million gallons of motor oil or approximately 32% of all motor oil consumed, is pur. chased by do-it-yourselfers. Of this amount, approxi- mately 63% or about six million gallons is potentially recoverable. The rest is lost in use. The 13 depots are located in diverse geographic areas throughout the two cities.

BOX 1136 CLINTON, ONT, In the fall of 1948, 19 year old Chuck McKnight landed a job as a junior reporter on the Tillsonburg News. Born and raised in the farming village of Wainfleet, in the Niagara District, his exper- ience in the newspaper bus- iness was limited to part- time sports reporting for the area daily, The Welland Tri- bune, and to summer repor- ting for his uncles, who at one time owned community newspapers in Durham, Thornbury and Petrolia. His grandfather, Charles Ram- age published the Durham Review from 1894, until his death in 1936. Thirty-one years later J.C. R. (Chuck) McKnight has been named president of the Canadian Community News- paper Association for the 1979-80 term. He took over the reins of office of the 550 member association during official ceremonies at the CCNA annual convention in Toronto July 21. He succeeds Ian MacKenzie of Portage La Prairie Leader, 1\49. Shortly after his arrival at the '1 illsonburg News, Mc- Knight was named editor of The Canadian Sportsman, a harness racing publication which has enjoyed years of association with The Tillson- burg News. Later he became advertising manager of The Ontario Newspaper Assoc.; president of the Ontario Weekly Newspaper Assoc- iation; treasurer of CCNA for two years; chairman of the executive for two years and vice-president of the national association last year. The Canadian Community Newspaper Association, the largest organization of its kind in Canada, has a com- bined circulation of over 3,000,000 representing 550 community newspapers ac- ross the country. On the home front the new CCNA president has been active in a variety of organizations: Tillsonburg Chamber of Commerce, Til- lsonburg Business Associ- ation, Parking Authority, past president of the Tillson- bug Minor Hockey; many years on the Board of Man- agement of St. John's Ang- lican Church, where he serv- ed as warden; a long term member of the Kinsmen Seaforth Ontario Tillsonburg man heads newspaper group News, and in 1959 was named vice-president and general manager. The fol- lowing year The News switched to twice weekly publication and then in 1968 to a tri-weekly. On the death of H.F. Johnston, long-term publisher of Tillsonburg, Mr. McKnight assumed the of- fice of president and pub- lisher of the company. McKnight at one time vowed to purchase a news- paper for each of his seven children. Although that feat has not been met, slowly but surely his dreams are becom- ing realities. In 1971 he and W.J. Pratt, a shareholder in the Com- pany whose association with The News also dates back to the late 1940's purchased The Ingersoll Times. Two years later a third newspaper The Norwich Gazette, was added to the family. In 1974, a holding company, Otter Publishing Limited was formed and a commercial printing division added. In April 1975 the Port Colborne News was added to the chain and in March of this year the company's first shopper, The Consumer News, covering the Welland MF 750-D. cab. air new pick-up table MF - 510-13. cab. air new pick-up table, 43 corn head MF - 410-D. cab. pick-up corn head 43 Case 600 w /pick-up Case 1160 wicab. 404 corn head cutting head MF - 36 -10' Swather wlBatt reel MF - 44 -10' Swather w/pick-up reel MF 34 -12' pick up reel J.D. 45 wrecking for parts MF - 1500-D. 4 wheel drive cab. air. duals MF - 1105-D.
