This grant is to start on Sep- tember 1st, 1977, in those Provinces that have agreed to adopt specific energy con- servation measures as laid down by the Federal Government. The energy conservation measures laid down by the Federal Government are as follows: Building Codes: Adopt and implement building codes for all new housing before the end of 1977, which contain thermal efficiency standards, at least as high as the energy conservation standards for new buildings prepared by the National Research Council. Speed -Limits: Establish and enforce 90 kilometres per hour speed on all two-lane highways; 100 kilometres per hour on greater than two-lane highways. ' Bulk -Metering: Adopt a policy to prohibit bulk -metering of gas and electricity in new multi- family dwellings and consider measure 'that would encourage the conversion of existing buildings to individual metering. Sales Tax: Remove sales tax on insulation materials. In ad- dition, provincesthave.been asked to make other considerations. These considerations refer to - Property Assessment - Ensure that municipal assessment practices do not penalize, through increased assessments, homeowners who re -insulate or adopt solar heating. Insulation Loans - Establish loan programs supplementary to the federal grant program, at preferred interest rates, for householders who wish to re - insulate their homes. Rate Structures --Revise utility energy pricing schedules to reflect more accurately the actual cost of supply and to discourage waste (E.G. marginal cost pricing); Landlord - Tenant Acts - Ensure that landlord and tenant acts do not discourage the in - JACKPOT '400 In 57 Calls • EARLY BIRD JACKPOT $300 G Tonight � Wed., Sept. 14 8:30 P.M.

Training and Certification - Establish training and cer- tification programs for all in- sulation installers and home furnace servicemen. The Ontario Government has said that it is practically im- possible to meet some of these requirements by September 1, 1977 or even January 1, 1978. It appears that invoices to be covered by the grant will have to be dated September 1, 1977. If the Ontario Government has not adopted the Federal Govern- ment's required energy con- servation measures by that time, it is not known whether grants will be paid on September 1, 1977, or whether all requirements will have to be met first. If the Ontario government meets the Federal Government's requirements for energy con- servation and subsequently receives the Federal grant, then it proposes to make available a loan up to $2,500 at 8 per cent, in addition to the Federal grant. This grant is not available for homes built after September 1, 1977. Starting this year grant will only apply to homes built prior to 1921. This program is still far from • being final in Ontario, Announ- cements will appear in .daily newspapers across Canada giving details as to who would be eligible and where and how to apply. Anyone requesting information on the Home Insulation Program can call collect Montreal, 514-341- 1511. However, on September 10, all newspapers will have a coupon which can be sent to the Ministry of the environment who in turn will send a kit with an application and all pertinent information.

Pix by Peake Board airs concern over pornography HOW ABOUT A PUSH? — Twb year-old Candace Middlebrook of Windsor liked the idea of hav- ing a swing in the park at Bayfield. She had driven up from Grand Bend with her parents. Staff photo "Pornography is like a cancer and we've got to sfart somewhere to stamp it out." These were chairman Mickey Vere's words at Monday night's meeting of the Huron -Perth County, Roman Catholic School Board. Vere was referring to a letter, which was sent to all the boards of education in the country, from the Periodical Distributors of Canada. The letter suggests that the issue of availability of por- nographic material to children should be left hi thehands of the courts and that the boards should not interfere. Director of Education, Bill Eckert said that the letter is a public relations document that is full of con- tradictions and accusations. The availability of por- nography is an issue which has raised much discussion at. recent O.S.T.C. meetings. The Huron - Perth Separate School Board also received a memorandum from the executive director of the Ontario School Trustee's Council concerning pornography. The memorandum says that "as educators we must be concerned at the pouring of millions of dollars into publications for marketing, which give a distorted impression of social acceptability and normalcy of sexual deviation" and the availability of these publications to children. Trustee Authur Haid said "Its not only magazines and written material but movies and television also go uncensored and are available to children." Haid went on to say, "There's nothing that takes a hold of a childs mind like that T.V. set." Chairman Vere suggested that trustees write their local aldermen, members of the legislature, and member of parliament."If they get enough letters they'll have to take action on the'issue or we won't put them back in." According to Vere, letters from organizations which contain a list of names don't hold any punch anymore. "We must write the politicians individually ex- pressing our concerns on the 'subject." The matter was referred to the next meeting of the board to allow the trustees to consider the issue and be ready to decide what is to be done. One suggestion, to form a special committee to deal with the issue, was forwarded to the September 26 meeting of the board. CLASSIFIED RATES WORD COUNT Charges are based on number of words.
