The Lucknow Sentinel, 1977-03-16, Page 19Save electricity,
save money.
There are two ways
saving electricity can save
money.
First, the obvious one.
The less you use, the less
you have to pay for. And to-
day, electricity is simply too
valuable to waste.
Second, something
not so obvious. Ontario uses
more and more power every
year. This means an ever
increasing investment in plant
and equipment...and their
cosfis rising rapidly. The cost
of fuels is also increasing
rapidly. These costs inevitably
show up in the price you pay
for electricity.
You can help to slow
down the growing demand
by using electricity wisely.
Don't Waste it.
Conterve energy.
The future depends on it.

WHITECHURCH
The past week of mild spring-like
weather has reduced the snow
banks in the community and
village. The rising water has forced
many of the homes to get their
sump pumps into action to clear
their basement of water so as not to
interfere with the furnaces. The
early flowers, snow drops, crocus,
hyacinth are to be seen on east and
south sides of the homes while
robins, blackbirds and crows fly
over to tell us spring is here.
