Regfistrants miust be 19 years of age or have their The revival of interest in wood hecating means that householders must now in- form themselves on a topic which came naturally to their forefathers -- the types of wood best suited to home heating. As a general rule, -the heating value of wood depends on its density and moisture content. Wood burners should look for well- seasoned hardwood for max- imum heat output per pound of wood. Well-seasoned simply mneans that the wood has been cut and left to air dry for five to nine mionths. A cord of hardwood, for exam- pie, may lose up to 1500 Grade 12 Diplomna to regîister for credit courses. Otherwise the minimum age is 16. Most courses are only $10 for Senior Citizens. poqnds of water ini the drying process. Moisture content is in fact a major consideration when shopping for wood: green or unseasoned wood contains so much water that the heating value of the wood is significantly reduced. Burn- ing green wood may also lead to the formation of creosote deposits in the chimney, and increase the risk of chimney fire. Wood which is cut, split, and stacked under a shelter before June should be almost ready to burn in October. Wood density is also a ma- jor consideration when buy- ing fuelwood. Dense woods humn more slowly, and con- tain more heat per unit of volume than lighter species. Hardwood is the most dense, and is therefore best for wood heating appliances. Deciduous trees such as hickory, oak, beech, maple, Enniskiiler The General P urp(tse Comminittee of the Town of' Newcast le lias given approval to three zoning application amnendmnents which if approv- ed by Town of Newcastle counicil would allow the development of 70 resîdential lots in the Hamlet of En- niskillern. However, counicil is flot to consider the recommendation until such time as the Region of Durhiam counicil has con- sîdered an approved applica- tion by Newcastle to amend the Hamilet Development plan for the Hamlet of En- niskillen referring to specific staging policies. The proposed development in Enniskillen is now propos- ed to proceed with private services for both water and septic systems. When the En- niskîllen development was originally approvedi, it was a requirement that a communal water system under the con- trol of the Region of Durham be establishied. Test drilling for such a proposai was undertaken and it has been stated a suitable water supply Solina Hall asks for financial assistance Harold Yellowlees, chair- man of the Solina Hall Board, addressed members of counicil on Monday asking financial support for needed repairs to the Hall which was constructed ; in 1954. Yellowless said the Hall Board hiad neyer sought assistance from councîl jbut1 were faced, at this time, withi costs for needed repalrs. Yellowlees pointed to the need of a new roof costing $2800.00 and ceiling insula- tion at an estimated cost of $1200.00. He requested assistance from the Tlown in an amounit of $1000.00 with the Board intending to raise the remainder of the monies, $3000.00, through local ac- tivities sponsored by the Hall Board. The request by the Solina Hall Board has been referred to the newly appointed Culture and Recreation com- mittee and is the second refer- raI to this board since its in- ception. Council has also referred a request made by the Hamp- ton Hall Board. and birch fall into the hard- wood category and are amnong the best species for burning. Softwoods -- such as poplar, spruce, hemnlock, pine, basswood and fir -- are among the least dense and contain less heat per cord. Softwoods, in addition, have a high resin content, wvhich is likely to vaporize and contribute to creosote formation in the chimnev. Also rememiber that fuelwood is sold by the cord, which is a unit of volume. A standard cord bas a volume of 3,6 cubic meters (128 cubic fee,) and is usually stacked 1. 2xk 1.2 x2.4 m(4' x 4' x8'). ri proposais for a municipal service was available. Part of Enniskillen now is serviced by a comn- munal service. The use of private wells and septic systems has re- quired that lot sizes be do--ubi- ed in size. Some residenis, at a public meeting on Monday, express-, ed concern over the use of agricultural lands for residen- tial development in the rural area stating somte of the land was the best agriculturailIand in the district. Concern was also expressed over the effect additional private wells mnay have on existing shallow wells in use in the colnmunity. It was stated some Enniskillen wells did in fact dry up last sumnmer. Before development may proceed an applicanit must provide the Town and the Durhamn Health Unit with an engineering report which ad- dresses the supply of water, considers run-off and also addresses the possible impact of the proposaI on existing water supplies within the Hamlet and surrounding area. Developers of lands in the area last year had asked the Town of Newcastle to accept change in allowing themt to increase the size of lot and be- ing then relieved of the re- quirement of a communal water system. Council ac- cepted the alternative allow- ing private individual wells and septic systemrs.
