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.

P.O. 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
