2-ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, JULY 16, 1975 -- aneditorial COMING UP ROSES Bill Davis needs.no Big Blue Machine to put him back into office. He learned a true lesson in the last provincial election . . . come out swinging arid this he has done in the past two or three months catching the opposition napping and ill prepared. In 1971 Davis was the giant killer when he put what appears a permanent freèze on the Spadina Expressway. Last week, in preparation for the coming election, he put the skids under the proposed International Airport at Pickering. This time his action was not as permanent as that of the Expressway as transportation minister John Rhodes pointed out that priorities at this time did not allow services by the Province for the Airport. The door has been left ajar, but even so Bill Davis again becomes the giant killer and master technician in preparing for the provincial election. It is amazing that for at least two years the Conservative government in Ontario has remained publicly silent on the Airport issue even though they were part of discussions and a party to the choice of site. All of a sudden, and facing an election, Davis wants no part of the Airport, just when the Federal bulldozers were ready to bite into the construction of the first runway. How dramatic could one be. Still in the middle of the ring and swinging Davis lashes out at the Federal Government, always a popular political move. He freezes gasoline and oil for a three month period, and with Darcy McKeough's mini-budget is to correct all the ills in the John Turner budget. How opportune could events be for any individual especially a politician. The federal budget in fact was one of conservation of energy and restraint on inflatiorf. The provincial budget is the reverse. The dynamics of the Conservative government in Ontario are never so evident as in an election year. It is unfortunate that it cannot exist throughout the full term of office. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONTINUE IN HEALTH CARE The Federal Government budget presented by Finance Minister John Turner recently stated that the feds would scale down their contribution to "shared cost" programs with the provinces. The budget did present a ceiling for medicare which may have caught some provinces by surprise and in an embarassing financial position. Ontario is one to voice their disapproval and through their mini-budget have stated they will never again enter into share-cost programs with the federal government. The "shared-cost" programs do add to the social fabric of Canada and it is only through such programs that equality can be maintained across the nation. Also it must be instituted through the federal government for there is no other way that one in Newfoundland can have the same service as one in Ontario. The federal government does have a right to curb The Great Pine Ridge Kinsmen Club recently held their installation of officers with Kin Don Heyland, Newcastle. Newcastle. the outgoing president spendings by placing ceilings and percentage increase. Ontario Can hardly cry about this as they acted in a similar way when they placed ceilings on financial spending in the field of education. The relationship between the provinces and the federal government must remain alive if Canada is to become a nation, sea to sea.

CLEAN HEATING EQUIPMENT IS MORE EFFICIENT The oil or gas fired heating equipment in your production building or home should be serviced at least once a year by a qualified person, who will clean and adjust the equipment equipment for maximum efficiency. efficiency. The charge for normal service parts and time should be more than recovered in reduced fuel costs and possible possible heat interruptions next winter, say Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food engineers. The time to call the service person is now, when the heating equipment is not in regular use. He is not as busy as in the colder months and has time to order necessary parts without inconvenience to you. There are a number of things that yoii can do yourself to ensure maximum efficiency from heating equipment equipment - particularly in dusty conditions. A. Hot Air Systems 1. Make sure that the ducts, louvers, filters, and fan are cleaned regularly to ensure unrestricted air flow. 2. Make sure that the combus- Up and Down The Book Stacks Thursday, July 17th, 1975 ADULT Flowers and Plants by Roy Hay & Patrick Synge (colour (colour dictionary of) Intellegent Life in Outer Space by Ronald Bracewell I Never Danced at the White House by Art Buch- wald Photography by Phil Davis (comprehensive book on all aspects of photograpy) Showdown at Emerald Canyon Canyon by Jeff Clinton (Western) (Western) The Blade of Castlemayne by Anthony Esler (novel set in the Elizabethan period) JUNIOR My World of Geography by James Gregory Mountain Animals by Tony Long UFO's & Other Worlds by Pëter Ryan & Ludek Pesek Mr. Bumblemoose & the Tiger skin Rug by Hans Andreus EASY READING AND PICTURE BOOKS Nessie the Monster by Ted Hughes The Grateful Crane by Ann Herring (Japanese Legend) Sale of Discards .10 each Madeleine Hadley The first afternoon of "Crafts" "Crafts" held on Thursday at the library was a great success, with twenty-two children present. present.

Normal crack- age in most home basements is adequate. 3. Air ducts and water pipes in the service room should be insulated to minimize radiated radiated heat which is wasted in the combustion air. B. Hot Water Systems 1. Make sure that radiators and pipes intended to radiate radiate heat are clean and free of air flow restrictions. A dust accumulation acts as insulation. 2. The water temperature drop and flow rate are both critical for performance and efficiency of systems using just black and finned pipe as radiators. If your system is not performing well, ask a qualified heating contractor for advice. 3. See 2 and 3 in section A. Clean, well-adjusted heating heating systems should be able to reduce heating fuel requirements requirements by 10 percent or more. If each of us makes a contribution, collectively wë will save a lot of energy - arid money.
