Nobody has the right to waste fuel, or any other form of energy. The time has come to take a good, hard look at the way we use energy, and to use it wisely. Good energy habits learned now, especially by our children, will bring us comfortably through the winter, and pay off xs, Recent events in the Middle East have underlined just how essential a dependable supply of energy is to the way we live. . Present indications are that supplies of imported crude oil in Eastern Canada are barely sufficient to meet demand. It we can't maintain imports, real shortages of gasoline and heating oil could occur here in Ontario. But uncertain import supply isn't our only concern. Canada's own oil and gas supplies are being depleted, and cannot be renewed. 47thingsyou candoto conserve energy 1-7 Your heating system.

All Ministries and Agencies of the Ontario Government are doing their bit to conserve energy. Lighting and heating levels are being reduced in government buildings: a new emphasis is being given to economi- cal operation of vehicles; Ontario Hydro and the Ministry of Education are encouraging consumers and schoolchildren to learn good habits in the use of energy. And that's just a beginning! - Save this check list. and save energy! Industry, business, homeowners, agriculture and government must all work together to conserve energy. If we each save a little... we'll all save a lot. Government of Ontario and a social the introduction of a more positive approach. The fol- lowing year, new areas of fund raising were integrated into many communities in Ontario, such as walk- a-thons, Buck-a-cup, tele- thons, youth support and other imaginative ap- proaches by individual service clubs. This year, club enthusiasm and public response was so great that 36 clubs showed a 25 percent increase over their 1972 results and more than half of the clubs ex- ceeded their local objectives. In expressing thanks for the public's generous re- sponse to the clubs' efforts, Whitaker also pointed out the vital role played by the news media. Said Whitaker: 'Without their help in informing people of the services and facilities available to Ontario's handicapped youngsters dnd the need for their continued support, we could never have done it." Friends honour Franklin family Thursday evening, Nov- ember 8 a party was held in Manchester Hall to honour Grant and Ethel Franklin and their son George.

A presentation was made to the Franklins of a farm vard with a money tree growing in it.
