GODBOLT CLU Devon Bldg., Exeter 235-2740 Hopes final push will put park canvass close to goal Though an extensive fund raising canvass is still not completed and may not reach its projected goals, The Exeter Rec Centre grounds development pro- ject is progressing well. Committee chairman Don Cameron said the project is "actually in a profit position right now. but there is still a lot to be done" "The new fair building is almost completed and it should provide an excellent facility for the fall fair." •Cameron said. Costs of the fair building will be "significantly less" than. projected. and a grant for 25 percent of the costs from the ministry of agriculture and food has yet to be received, Cameron said. The current objective, Cameron said. is to corn - Heavy rains halt harvest in area Recent heavy rains have delayed white bean harvests about a week and if wet weather continues, it may have an effect on 1981 yields. Bill Strong. manager of operations at Cook's Mills in Hensall said, "there hasn't been any harvesting since the rain". He added though, the rain shouldn't have any effect on the yield, and farmers should be back on the fields within two or three days. The crop had been suffer- ing from dry weather early in the season but he said it was quite good so far. Strong said some beans had been harvested and most are ready to be harvested as soon as the weather clears u The sales manager of the Hensall District Co-op, Larry Shapton agreed. but added most white beans were not ready f o r harvesting. If beans were pulled he said. they are moresuscep- tible. to rot and there may be some sprouting. The pulled beans may be covered with mud and would be docked a grade for being dirty. Shapton said the rain may have helped even the crop up. as there were still some green patches on the fields. "Providing." he stressed, "the rain quits now." Another week of wet weather could cause problems. but providing the fields begin to dry out there should be no crop damage. Effects of the rain remain to be seen, but any beans pulled will be ruined said Doug Mann. manager of the Hensall branch of W.G. Thompson. Beans are just starting to get ready Mann said and Kentucky Fried Chicken Multiple Savings Double up on savings this fall with TWO GREAT DEALS on finger lickin' good chicken.

Plants are suffering under heat and high humidity, and he stressed that farmers will have to get on the fields soon. All three agreed the Hen- sall area was not as affected by the rains as areasfurther south and that the year's yields should not be affected if the weather dries out soon. Get buyers for surplus The Town of Exeter failed to get bids on four pieces of surplus equipment, but found buyers for seven other pieces. The sale of the items to the highest bidders was approved at a special meeting last week. Down Farms purchased a Ford flail mower for $805, while Alex Meikle bought two items. paying $150 for a Clipper mower and $20 for two push lawn mowers. Ernie Semple had the high bid of $328 on a Ford 8N trac- tor. Triebner Electric bought a Farman tractor with a 48" V -snow plow for $200 and Harold Triebner was the successful bidder on a Ford lawn and garden tractor for $500. Gerry Webb bid $22.50 for a filing cabinet. No bids were received for an adding machine, cement mixer and two electric motors. The works -committee decided to retain the Massey -Ferguson 50 tractor. The pieces of equipment had been declared surplus some time ago. Longer terms Continued from front page term prior to the next municipal election." On assessment, on which property taxes are based, and provincial grants to municipalities, Bennett said the time has come "to get down to the business of speeding up our approach to a fair and equitable system." "Because of the scope and importance of this particular problem, I have proposed to cabinet that a task force be established to implement a rationalized system for municipal assessment, taxation and grants." To assist municipalities in their administrative and financial operations, the minister announced a management improvement program to include the use of computers, improved auditing accounting system and other aids. For these, he said, "we intend to provide direct support, both advisory and financial," which would include $5 million for 1982-83 for one-time contributions to municipalities "toward agreed projects." Among other an- nouncements by Bennett were: - A review of the methods for electing the chairmen of the province's regional municipalities, "including Metropolitan Toronto." - Consideration of rules or legislation on freedom of information "to ensure that public information is made available to citizens" by municipal councils and other bodies, many of which currently hold closed meetings. "The rule must be openness," Bennett said. Consultation with municipalities and the development industry to determine what procedures should be followed to ensure fairness to all parties on the subject of lot levies (municipal fees on development projects). - More local financial and political control over the more than 3,000 special- purpose bodies - police commissions, planning boards, etc. - across the province (not including school boards) which spend more than 25 persent of municipal budgets. -New and better methods for consultation between the provincial and municipal governments. plete the town and area can- vass. He said he was frsutrated that It was still not com- pleted. The fund raising method was well planned and organized but was "slowed down by people on vacation and the general apathy of the summer season". After the canvass is wrapped up. the committee will sit down and evaluate the "full financial picture". Cameron was anxious to maintain the momentum of the project "so all interest groups can have their facilities improved." "We've helped our ball people and the agricultural society but there's still a soccer pitch to put in and the project also calls for some tennis improvements, too," the chairman said. One of Cameron's am- bitions for the project is to have the old fair grounds' cattle sheds removed. But be said, they cannot be torn down until the agricultural building is completed. "They are certainly an eyesore and dangerous too," he said of the sheds. The doors are yet to be hung on the new building and electrical and plumbing work is yet to be completed. Though the local fund rais- ing will not reach the es- timated $97,000 needed to complete the project, government grants, grants from local community cen- tres and the possibility of Wintario grants, along with projects being completed un- der the estimated costs, the fund raising efforts will be close to the goal. "We have to be pretty close to this to do the job right." Cameron said. Though it was planned to plow and reseed the outfield of the new baseball diamonds Cameron said he had "heard people saylthe outfield is not too bad, ' and 'the extra work may not be necessary. He also noted the field would not be ready for the early part of next season 1f it were replowed. The canvass is "more or less" done Cameron said ad- ding that the project is in "reasonably good shape". He Was quick to express thanks to all the people and groups who have already contributed and mentioned they would be formally thanked with their names in the paper when the canvass is completed.

ONE OFA SERIES. FOUR SECRETS OFA SUPER NEW FAMIIY HOME THAT CUTS HEATINGBSUP109O% • YOU CAN HEAT SUPER ENERGY- EFFICIENT NERGYEFFICIENT HOMES FOR $50 TO $200 A YEAR —TODAY! ' Itcolts $500to$1,000to heat a typical Canadian house. But there are super energy-efficient homes coming on the market that heat for $50 to $200 a year. They Took like other new houses. They have various layouts—buows, ranch - style, splits, townhouses. Nothing far out—and no far out prices, either. They don't even use special materials, or exotic technology. What they do have are innovations in design and construction that have proven themselves through frigid Prairie winters. NEW SUPER ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOMES—TO SHOW YOU HOW It's time other Canadians shared these secrets. That's why the Government of Canada is supporting the construction of new super energy-efficient homes as part of the National Energy Program. Builders will construct some in every province. Even those Canadians who aren't in the market for a new home can use some of these innovations in their present homes. But the super homes are for sale, too. They're meant for living, not just show. MOST WINDOWS FACE SOUTH AND ARE ENERGY -CONSERVING The house is oriented to the sun with quality dbuble-glazed windows facing south to soak up free solar energy. Fewer windows face north and these may be triple -glazed to minimize heat loss. NOW, WHO NEEDS A BIG HEATING SYSTEM? To complete the energy-conser.'ing features of these houses, they are equipped with automatic set -back thermostats and the most efficient of appliances and heating equipment. The heating system is miniature both in size and consumption, matching the space heating demands of the house. The water heater and hot water pipes are well insulated, and water temperatures are readily controlled. The major appliances all have low Energuide consumption ratings, and in some cases waste heat is captured and recirculated where it is needed. Efficient fluorescent lights are used wherever possible rather than incandescent bulbs. THE OPEN SECRETS OF A SUPER ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME The four major items that make a home super energy-efficient may add up to $6,000 or 5 to 10% to the construction cost of a new home. But that's an investment which pays for itself in lower fuel bills, keeps on paying dividends for years to come and adds to the resale value of the home. THICK WALLS—UP TO A FOOT (30 cm) THICK—AND FULL OF INSULATION Insulation. And more insulation. That'S one of the big secrets. The super energy-efficient house has two to three times more insulation than the average new home. WHAT YOU'LL GET Super Energy- Most Other Efficient Home New Homes RSI (R) RSI (R) Ceilings 8.8.10.5 (50-60) 3.5 -5.3 (20-30) Walls 5.3- 7.0 (30-40) 2.1 -3,5 (12-20) Basement Walls 3.5- 5.3 (20.30) 0.18.2.1 ( 1-12) (A highcr'RSI' factor means lower heal loss.) The walls of a super energy-efficient home are sometimes 30 cm thick to take the abundant insulation. The attic is piled high with the stuff, and there's even insulation in the doors, making them RSI/ 1.7 or better, instead of the normal RSI/.35. You can't see super -insulation, but it's there, silently saving you money. IT'S AIRTIGHT BUT HEALTHY— WITH FRESH AIR The entire house is wrapped (on the inside) with an airtight vapour barrier to reduce excessive rates of air change, to keep out drafts, and to keep household moisture from entering the walls. The vapour barrier is carefully overlapped and caulked at all joints — even behind electrical boxes. Every joint and crack is completely sealed. Doors and windows are weather-stripped and super- tight. Air -lock vestibules reduce drafts when doors are open. f In fact, the house is so airtight that mechanical ventilation May have to be provided. But even here, a unique air-to-air heat exchanger developed just for this purpose, or a small heat pump, saves energy by transferring heat from the outgoing air to the incoming fresh air. Ventilation is efficient and controlled—not wasteful and haphazard. BUYA SUPER ENERGYEFFICIENT HOME—OR JUST LEARN FROM ONE. If you're in the market for a new home, here's what to do: Some super energy-efficient homes may be built in your community within the next year or so. Buy one, if you can. They'll be bargains. When looking at any new house ask for the features that make a home super energy- efficient. Even if you're not in the market for a new house you can still save energy and money in your present home.
