Saturday and Sunday fromi 9.30 ta 4.30 and on Wednesdays and Thursday from 12.00 noon lintil 10.00 WE CAN ' TAXE IT FOR TDOE 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 n Eastern Canada are barely sufficient to meet demand. If 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. To make sure we have enough energy for thè future, a.nd to give us time to develop alternative energy sources, we must make the best use of the sources we have now. Nobody has the right to waste fuel, or any other form of energyThe time- has corne to take a good, hard look at the way we use energy, and to use it wîsely. 1 Good energy habits Iearned now, especially by our children, will bring us comfortably through the winter, and pay off in years to corne.
