COmes the Sun With the depletion of the world s supply of fossil fuels accompanied by an ever increasing cost for their extraction and marketing it is imperative that alternate sources of energy be developed for wide consumer use There are a number of alternatives avail able but perhaps the most attractive and certainly the least controversial Is solar energy While it is not the complete answer to energy but then what Is it is at least a viable partial solution and most important it is inexhaustible and does not have to be imported It may seem a strange choice of energy for Canada with our long winters but in point of fact there are only two or possibly three months In the year when there is not enough solar radiation to provide ap preciable heat But then in Canada it has never been claimed that solar energy will take over all healing requirements Even Southern Ontario is not Arizona or the Desert Consequently until tech moves far ahead of todays mode auxiliary or currentconventional heat sources will be required as well Above all a very well insulated home Is a prime requisite Most practical systems convert solar radiation into lowgrade heat that is temperatures below the boiling point of water and designed for heating space hot water or swimming pools Proof that solar radiation is a practical solution is the fact that over million homes in Japan and 220000 homes in Israel incorporate solar devices mainly for water heating There are various types of low grade collectors but the commonest most practical and least costly is the flat plate collector which essentially consists of an insulated flat blackened absorptive face and pipes or channels through which flows air or water Collections can be mounted on a roof or rack facing south and inclined at an angle Anti freeze solution or air is used to transport the build up heat in the collector to the storage Lank and then to the heating circuit for the home or water supply Most space heating is required when the sun is not shining Storage of heat is therefore vital Collectedsolarheat is stored In either water or rocks the choice really depends on the transport medium Ifwaterlsusedto transfer the heat It is usually the storage medium Rocks or small stones are normally used with an air transfer system A solar heat distribution system should be compatible with the existing heating system in the house or in a new house with the back up conventional system chosen be it natural gas electricity or oil fired forced air At the present time solar heating equip ment is still new jo the market and there is no extensive history of operating ex penence which proves a system will not have reliability performance problems Systems can coat anywhere between SI and depending on complexity but with each increase In conventional fuel costs the payoff time becomes shorter The market is growing not only in single family expensive homes but also with low cost multi family units Considerable impetus Is coming from the National Research Council which has set up a special section devoted to solar energy projects and which has a budget of million for 1978 It Is still a long step before solar energy becomes a major component of the lotal energy field However in the United States it is estimated that by the year solar energy will represent per cent of the total supply Given differences in climate and natural resources there is no reason to doubt Canadas ability to approach that level as well In time for the century Fraud cases increase violent crimes 8532010 PHONE TODAY fraud Is becoming a bigger problem than in previous years according to Regional Police detectives Bruce and Keith Robertson The two men hindte most of the reports of fraud in District One Acton Milton George town wcya Through their own ex penence they have noticed an increase In fraudulent cheques credit cards and stolen identification Detective Robertson ex plains that fraud is safer and easier to commit than other crimes as there is no violence involved He pointed out the suspect is usually a smooth talker and a con man In many cases his a record The average jail term for someone convicted of fraud is two to three years the tives A bank rohber on the other hand gets six to right years though the fraud could have stolen as much or more than the bank robber over the years Cheques are the biggest part of fraud in area the men claim They attribute this to the fact that more people arc paying for articles with cheques rather than cash The pair admitted they arc usually seven to ten days be hind a fraudulent cheque due to the system the banks have The explained when Mr writes a cheque on S bank to Mr Y who has an account with the cheque Is sent to T bonk forwarded to a clearing house and returned toTbank From there It goes to S bank the original bank If there Is no money in the account the cheque signature is a forgery or If the account is completely nonexistent this Is not known until this stage The bonk In must notify Mr if possible and ask him to cover the money on cheque If this Is not possible Mr will be notified and asked to return the money Impersonators are also a threat to the Institution These ore people who will go into bank and withdraw money on someone else account They use stolen identification forged documents and forgery to obtain the money this way The detectives stressed that if you nave a purse or wallet containing Identification stolen report the theft or loss no matter how trivial it seems at the time A stolen driver licence can be used hundreds of miles away for identifi if the theft is not reported Price switching also comes the category of fraud people who change price logs are just as guilty as someone who posses a bad cheque detectives said Shoflifting an item and returning it to the store for a cosh refund also has the same penalties sufficient funds cheques arc also fraudulent the team said One NrS cheque is considered a pretense However if It is written out with the writer knowing there Is not enough money in the bank to cover it it Is considered fraud Usually the detectives said one is a mistake but two Is considered knowingly In mosl eases said the police are not even notified They ex pi lined the banks will simply make the writer aware of the error and let him rectify situation In some cases customer bos two accounts in the same bank they will simply transfer funds Counterfeit money is not the problem in it used to be the police say Since the inception of the new colorful bills criminals have found them too difficult to If the store realizes the money is phoney and want to get stuck with it he could knowingly pass it on to a customer In thib case detectives said the store keeper Is just as of passing counterfeit money the original person who did so There are some to help ensure protection against fraud the detectives said If working in store and cheques always ask for as much identification as When the customer drives away the store keeper or employee should attempt to write down the licence number of the car With a credit card Detective Robertson said a telephone call should be made to that particular company to insure it is not stolen Most companies he said require a phone call on any purchase over anyway Once again the employee is encouraged to get the licence number of the car driven He explained that even if the identification is stolen the thief is probably not driving a stolen car Report all stolen identification to the police immediately Even though fraud is getting to be more of a problem the detectives said it is no worse in North than any other area of this size The men cover an area of square miles and serve Detectives Robertson and Richards arc part of a team of four Con stables Ian McNally and Ron Welch complete the Constable Bill McGarth Identification Officer works closely with the men Pet of the week FRIENDLY and hungry is
