Then again 13% of our coal reserves are needed to manufacture coke, the basic fuel for steel production. Another 30% is ear- marked for industrial, commercial, and other establishments, the majority of which will be asked to cooperate in reducing fuel consumption. boyt half of the shortage will have to be alleviated by householders who are asked to SAVE ONE TON IN FIVE. Without endangering their health nor causing serious discomfort, they can conserve many thousand tons if they winterize thelr homes, immediately. The following suggestions will help to keep the home fires burning without wastage of heat and fuel: Have the ~ [house thoroughly inspected for heating | and insulation defects. Clean the pipes and the furnace. See that grates are in perfect order, Insulate the heating system when necessary. Install storm windows early and make sure that they fit snugly. Weatherstrip all doors and windows. Replace broken glass in windows. Putty all loose panes. Caulking around doors, windows, and in wall fissures will help save much fuel. A great deal more can be saved by having the home properly insulated. You should learn also to fire your fuss nace properly. And don't start your fire until the house becomes cold, not just cool. © DR. L. B. WILLIAMS PAYS WELL DESERVED TRIBUTE TO PORT PERRY EDITOR. [Editor's Note--While at the Con- vention, Editor James, of the Bowman- ville Statesman told me that there was an article in the Statesman about Port Perry, and the Editor of the Star, and he remarked--"Don't be too modest to reprint it." So here goes.] Dear Editor: " In Port Perry, nestled along the rural shores of the Kawartha chdjn, Lake'Scugog, I was holiday shopping. | This hamlet is typical-of many another the wigwams of the red-man in his fur trapping and fishing, followed rapidly by lumbering and settlement with at- tendant local manufacturing. Soon the railroad was boomed and encour- aged by the last enthusiastic shekel of the village council. And now today as I reviewed the story, I find the town is out of breath -- lumbering gone, even the ties of the railway track torn up, and the railway station an eye sore and the lily pond boldly reaching toward the wharves where the lumber scows formerly cleared the channels. But in this Canada of ours now on the threshold of expression of un- dreamed of potential resources, Port Perry will regain its second breath, for its citizenship still lives in the at- mosphere of its pioneer noble genera- 'tion, . In fact the town is already recover- ing, having growing pains in such as its new lakeside tourist park, the ex- pression of its main thorofare, one of but its local newspaper editor and not the town is in the thought of 'my pen. As I thus reminisced along the busy pavement, suddenly a whiff of print- er's ink stirred my nostrils, the clang of a job-printing press sounded through an open door, and since such had one time been my own life (my readers will not understand why), I just instinctively turned in. I was at once at home for there was a restricted sanctum piled up in the Upper Canada town ushered forth by|- the most modern in the province, etc, |- stand in the stead for many another -- neglected county. : The writer has often been impor- tuned to write the life story of Dur- ham County, but probably many of those making the suggestion: would later compliment me by borrowing a copy to read.
