The industry had found that zinc had a detrimental effect aluminum. The ;CSA commit- tee responsible for, the wiring code also adopted a ruling cover- ing the termination and splicing of aluminum conductors, with a requirement' that equipment con- nected to these conductors be specifically approved for the pur- pose and marked to this effect. The committee, which included representatives of the CSA, . On- tario Jlydro and manufacturers' .of wire and- cable and electrical equipment was set up by Ontario 'Hydro last year in the wake of concern expressed in the United States that aluminum wiring con- stituted an undue fire hazard.

Steel screws are not acceptable for use is aluminum wiring and Ontario Hydro is carrying out cheeks to ensure that this ruling is enforced: 'furthermore, Canadian require- meats .for solidaluminum, coin- ductors. involve a softer grade of metal -to meet the bending tests that were not a part of D.S. re- quirements. In addition, Cana- dian residential branch circuit service ratings do not exceed 15 amperes, whereas in the U.S. some receptacle circuits have 20' amperes and require a much heavier conductor.. Jistas automobiles need to be serviced regularly for safety and reliability; said Mr. Dicker, so should a home, which is a much ' bigger investment, have its wir- ing system and appliances kept in a • good state of repair. Home- owners, he:said, should, as a nor- mal precaution., check the main- tenance and keep a close eye on the behaviour of the electrical system whether it be aluminum or copper wiring. An electrical contractor or qualified electrihian should ' be advised immediately, if the following warning signs are noted: —Hot or discoloured plates on switches or receptacles; -Unusual odours in the vicinity of an electrical outlet; -Persistent but intermittent flickering of lights for no ap- parent reason. Copies of the report are avail- able from Ontario Hydro's Electrical Inspection . Depart- ment in Toronto. Marilyn Day, 23, amedical stu- dent at McMaster University and a member of Central United Church, Stratford, has been selected to participate in the In- ternational Youth' Exchange this summer. Representing Huron - Perth' Presbytery, she will visit Korea along with"fourteen other young Canadians as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations of The United Church _ of Canada. Marilyn is both concerned and excited about her coming ex- perience. "We are into the stage of being one world village in. ,which the decisions, priorities and actions of individuals in- fluence all. the other 'members of the world community," she says. "So it's important that our ac- tions are carefully attuned to,, the. whole world's benefit if survival and peaceful coexistence are to be achieved." She sees a need to realign our priorities and actions and to solve our problems while maintaining respect for the in- , dividuality of members. Adding that this requires "a functioning co-operative effort that can transcend political and racial barriers," she can see "no group that can effectively meet these criteria aside from a renewed, reactivated and redirected Chris- tian laity." Marilyn, who sponsors an or- phan child in Korea, and who de- scribes herself as "a searching Christian," feels that the Ex- change represents "a powerful means whereby God can speak to . and motivate His people." She has been an active volunteer with groups of deaf, crippled and re- tarded children. The Exchange program is sup- ported by money contributed through the United Church to the 50th Anniversary Fund.
