may shock you A blast of cold water may wake you up to it The fact is it may be time to replace your present gas water heater with a new Gulfstream But chances are youll wait until your present one develops a leak and then do something about it But long before then it may be cost ing you time and convenience because your present one may simply not be delivering hot water when you need it Most often this is caused by the dish washer clothes washer and additional family you didnt have when your tank was installed So today when you need hot water more often your old system cant keep up Remember A larger storage tank doesnt necessarily supply a larger volume of hot water Gulfstream natural gas water heaters work on the principle of fast reheating of water rather than storage So you may draw off hot water when required hour after hour instead of waiting for large volumes of water to heat up What were saying is simple When it comes to replacing your present system remember Gulfstream You can lease one or buy one depending on your choice Youll find its an economical and efficient way to have hot water on hand when you need it But then if youve owned a water heater before that wont come as a shock to you LIMITED By DOROTHY MCLEAN A part of Nervals history came to an end on Thursday Sept with the death of Mrs Brown in Nursing Home Brampton She had turned Just a few days before her death The tragic sudden death of the three Brown children Jlmmle Betty and Phyllis when the car driven by their father George Brown was struck by a radial train at the top of hill lust south of the village in July 1KB and leaving him In critical condition for several weeks following the terrible accident has never been forgotten by Norval residents Mr Brown gradually recovered and operated a successful insurance business In the village his death a few yean ago The business was then taken over by John Dunlop The whole village suffered such a shock at the time of this tragedy that in the minds of those who were living here then it Is as If It had happened yesterday Yet Mrs Brown was able to live her life In such a way that she has been on example to all how her faith In God and In life after death made It possible for her to bear the many burdens she over came in her life In her later years she suffered a broken hip the death of her husband and a few light strokes but she overcame them and carried on living alone until another stroke made It Impossible for her to care for herself any longer Everyone who knew her admired her courageous life The radial train that ran between Toronto and Guelph has been gone for many years and Is now a part of Nervals past history The funeral was held at the McClureJones Funeral Home In Georgetown on Saturday afternoon with Interment In Hillcreat Cemetery Norval The Brown home In the middle of the village was sold recently to Mr and Mrs David Dunlop who moved In about three weeks ago Another old time Norval district

very In- Mrs H Smith gave the devotional and Rev Smith closed the meeting with prayer Mrs Tom McGee and Mrs Hyatt McClure served lunch and a social time was enjoyed We Just learned about the sudden death of the former Tilly Hunter Mrs Monk of my vegetable crops that were frozen by the heavy frost lost week but the brown grass has turned green over night It Is hoped the rain will continue long enough for the many homes in the village with dry wells to now have a little water While Helton Regional Council dllly dallies waiting for a report from an engineer about the water situation in Norval residents have been Busing water one gallons at a time It doesnt take an engineers degree or a health certificate for the people of the village to know that they have no water and if they do have a little It Is polluted It is a very poor start for Regional Government in Norval when It is taking so long for them to act on the water problem The recent tax bills with taxes rising higher than other locations hasn helped the mood of the residents Many are asking the What are we paying Some of the residents who have had to purchase water during the summer are Mr and Mrs Wlttekoek Mr and Mrs J Albert Mr and Mrs Carter Mr and Mrs C Car ney Mrs Mary Ismond Mr and Mrs McFarUne Mr and Mrs Carroll Mr and Mrs Newman and Mr and Mrs all residents of the middle of the village and Mr and Mrs corner of Guelph and Draper St A few of the many who have very little water are Mr and Mrs BUI Hunter Mr and Mrs C Moreton and Mrs Evelyn Every year the water level in the village gets lower and more and more people find them selves out of water Most families in the village are bringing in their drinking water from outside sources It is expected that at the next public meeting or the ratepayers of the village the question of this serious problem will come up and decisions will be made on what action to take Norval Presbyterian Church met in the Sunday school room of the church on Tuesday evening
