The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-08-31, Page 27The Goderich Little Theatre Variety Show on Sunday evening
was an excellent way to wind up an innovative summer program.
Throughout the summer, GLT members staged one -act plays in
the jail yard but on Sunday evening, with a little help from some
special guests, they revealed talents beyond just acting. Back
row, left to right, are Angela McDonald, Andy Markson, Ann
Robertson, Arie Van der Ende (emcee), Clarence Knight, Anna
Melski (co-ordinator of the summer program), Brian Markson
and Jennifer Black. -Second row, left to right are Elise Lindsay,
Kim Fritzley, Heather Lindsay and Coieen Maguire. In the front
row is mime artist Rob McEwen. (Photo by Joanne Walters)

AN INEXPENSIVE
DEVICE
So many homes are
kept fully -heated during
the night when everyone
is asleep in bed. Paul
feels that this is a par-
ticularly unnecessary
waste of fuel, especially
since about $60 will buy a
simple device to
eliminate much of that
waste.
A small, automatic -
thermostat on the Zur-
brigg's dining room wall
is operated by a 'clock
mechanism that lowers
and raises temperature
levels in . the home at
certain times of the day.
In Paul's case, the timer
is set for 11:00 p.m. when
the temperature„
automatically drops to 60
degrees fahrenheit. At
6:30 a.m., the timer
triggers the heating
system again, bringing
the temperature in the
house back up to about 70
in less than half an/hour.
When the Zurbriggs rise
e
in the morning, it is to a
comfortable house.
Paul says that houses
don't need to be warm at
night, and claims that
their place could even be
comfortable at tem-
peratures less than 60
degrees.
USES HEAT TWICE
. Many new homes are
built ranch -house style,
all on one floor. The
Zurbrigg's two-storey
brick house is almost a
return to the Style of the
early part of this century.
Of course, not all new
homes have 3,000 square
feet of floor space, and
Paul' admits .that -.a small
• home would look silly
built in two storeys. But
for those that are big
enough, two storey
houses make double the
use of the heat that's
generated because heat
naturally rises.
The Zurbriggs also
hope to capitalize on the
six-inch exterior stud
walls on their house. Most
homes are built with only
four -inch walls, but Paul
says the added expense
involved in building the
extra two inches is
surprisingly small.
Paul has also _gone the
extra mile in having
more than the usual
amount of insulation built
into his home's walls and
ceilings. The fiberglass
bats installed in the walls
have an insulating factor
of R20 rather than the
customary R12. The
ceilings have an R40
insulating factor as op-
posed to the R20 in the
ceilings of most modern
homes.
INTENDS TO BURN
WOOD
The Zurbrigg home is
built on a 135 -acre farm
which Paul has been
renting out for the past
few years. Fifty acres is
covered in bush, and Paul
has made arrangements
with the ministry of the
environment to have his
bush surveyed and trees
marked suitable for
cutting. He'll then store
each winter's supply in
the garage.
The Zurbriggs' living
room fireplace hasn't
been built simply for
appearance. A heatilator
connected to the furnace
fan forces the heated air
from the fireplace out
into the house more ef-
ficiently, with cooler air
returned through the
main ductwork system.
In the kitchen, stands a
good -as -new wood bur-
ning cookstove, which
Gerry's grandmother
bought in the 1920s. The
Zurbriggs will be using
the stove for both heating
the kitchen and cooking,
and it has the added
feature of being hooked
for electricity.
For tbe. time being,.. the
Zurbrigg home is heated
electrically, the most
efficient form of heating
available today, ac-
cording to Paul. He and
his wife chose electric
heat over oil because of
their long laneway and
their distance from town.
The heat is circulated
by a forced air duct work
system which will

provide flexibility for
future alternate energy
sources. The furnace
ducts to individual rooms
have shut-off controls,
again, to minimize heat
loss.
The Zurbriggs also plan
to do a lot of their cooking
in a microwave oven
which uses much less
electricity than con-
ventional stoves and also
cooks food in a shorter
time. They also intend to
insulate their hot water
pipes, and have set their
hot water tank at 120
degrees fahrenheit rather
than the usual 150
degrees.
TRIAL AND ERROR
The Zurbrigg family
moved into their new
home in March and won't
know how well their
energy-saving features
actually operate until
they've spent a winter
there.
But both Paul and
Gerry are prepared to
make whatever- ad-
justments prove
• • • • •
necessary to keep their
energy costs down.
The house isn't fully
finished on the inside, and
won't be for another five
years. The Zurbriggs are
.doing all the interior
work themselves and
intend to move ahead as
they can afford to.
Energy conservation is
not all a matter of having
the money to afford new
features, but having the
foresight to seek ways of
having them in-
corporated into the new
home.
Blyth festival ending

Summer Festival will end
its fourth season. Closing
the Festival is Two Miles.

lively - musical -comedy
promises to be a perfect
ending for an excellent
season.
Peter Colley's Huron
Tiger brought Dr.
William 'Tiger' Dunlop to
life in a rich and colourful
play about the founder of
Goderich's split with the
Canada Company.
Reviews for Huron Tiger
were full of praise, and
audiences were equally
as enthusiastic.
His Own Boss, Keith
Roulston's uproarious
comedy about an
assembly line worker
who inherits a cheese
factory, kept near-ca-
acity crowds in tears of
laughter throughout its
run..
A sellrout at almost
every performance, Ted
Johns' The School Show
drew an outstanding
response from both
theatre -goers and critics
alike. Johns, with his
incredible versatility, re-
created the Great
Teachers' Strut of '78 in
this one -mad show.
Because of the over-
whelming demand for
tickets, the School Show
will probably return to
Blyth during the Plowing
Match at the end of
September. Dates will be
announced when
finalized.
A bold step was taken
