a ye bee a a -- Garden and Centennial Ball are two events planned for anniversary The Penetanguishene council chamber was full Tuesday evening when about 50 people turned out to hear details of plans for the town's upcoming centennial celebrations. The events planned to date take place between Jan. 1 and Jwy 1. Many of the events have yet to be confirmed, or ap- proved by the town council. Some of the events are annual events, such as Win- terama and Sum- merama, that happen every year. Other events, such as the Centennial Ball, are specifically planned for Centennial year, while at least one event, the Burkevale Public Schoo] centennial, is coincident with the town's anniversary. If council approval is forthcoming, and arrangements go through, the centennial year calendar of events will look something like this: Jan. 1, the mayor will issue a proclamation declaring 1982 to be Penetanguishene's Centenary. Feb. 6, a Centennial Ball will be held. Feb. 19-21, Winterama will be held. On May 21, a Cen- tennial Garden will be planted. If enough people are willing to pledge a tree, trees would be planted in all of McGuire Park, the waterfront park, and Memorial Park. The committee wants to have a dignitary on hand, such as_ the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario. A dance is scheduled for May 22. June 20-26th, the last week of June, the Festival des Quenouilles will be held again. June 27-July 4 is the annual Summerfest. A 200 member drum corp has been booked for that week. The band may march from the downtown to McGuire Park, where a baseball tournament may be held. Burkevale Public School's centennial celebration starts July 3, with a ball on July 3. The town is_ spon- soring a centennial quilt competition. The winner will receive $500 and a photograph of themself with the quilt. The quilt will be raffled on July 1. A fashion show has been suggested, but a date has not been set. Frances St. Amant is in charge of the choosing of a man and a woman, who have lived in Penetanguishene for some time, who would act during the six Date to remember The place to be on Nov. 14 is the Midland Centennial Arena when members of the Midland Figure Skating Club stage their second annual eraft and bake sale.

S HOW TO SAVE BIG DOLLARS WHEN YOU BUY BIG ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES LOOK FOR THE ENERGUIDE LABEL When you buy a major electrical appliance, you're picking up two price tags. One is the cost of the appliance. The other is the cost of the electricity to operate it over its lifetime. Until recently the energy price tag was missing. You paid now -- but had little idea of what you would go on paying. Now there's a second tag, in the form of an Energuide label. WHAT IS ENERGUIDE? Energuide is an appliance label- ling program under which energy con- sumption "'stickers"' are attached to new refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers, clothes washers, and kitchen ranges offered for sale in Canada. The pro- gram was initiated by the Government - of Canada and is operated in co-opera- tion with consumer groups, appliance manufacturers and retailers, electrical utilities and provincial governments. COMPARISON SHOPPING The whole idea behind Energuide is to help you, the consumer, to compare the energy cost tags of appliances and deter- mine which is the best buy. Comparison shop- ping and wise decisions can save you a great deal of energy and money over the long run. HOW DOES ENERGUIDE WORK? The label on each new appliance shows the number of kilowatt hours of electricity (kWh) consumed by that appliance in one month of normal operation. This rating is determined by a test developed by the Canadian Standards Association for all appliances labelled. The number is represent- ative of the energy that the appliance will con- sume under normal operation in your home. It's not exact; the test could never duplicate precisely all the conditions in your home. But it is correct as acomparative rating, to indicate the difference between models. yee ad This apr fiance he mods # 1235690 uses 'f 1 23 kWh P o electricity per month when iy f test=ciin accordance with COA bugs KS ¥] Cet apps oreil de modal: fai {234817690 verifis comormamer tt aux } normes de TACNOR. comsonime 23a 4Slectricité par mois Ah To convert the Energuide rating in kWh to dollars, multiply by the cost of akWh in your area. (The current national average is 4¢ per kWh.) This will give you the operating cost for one month. kWh per month X cents per kWh = cost per month. WORK OUT THE - LIFETIME COST To really appreciate the importance of Energuide ratings, figure out the lifetime energy cost of the appliance. The average major appliance lasts 15 years, or 180 months. Multiply the cost per month by 180 and the number you get will be impressive. And it will be an underestimate, because it assumes a constant electricity price over 15 years. TWO REFRIGERATOR EXAMPLES Consumer and Corporate Affairs Canada publishes each year the Energuide ratings for new appliances. From the 1981 Refrigerator listing come the following examples: Total kWh Type and Defrost System cu. ft. month Model A --Two-door, top mounted freezer, frost free - 18.2 hy Model B --Two-door, top mounted freezer, frost free P7eT 2-190 Over a 15-year lifetime Model A, although slightly larger, would cost you That's a difference of $525.60! WHEN MORE IS LESS The appliance with the lower Energuide ratings may cost a little more to buy --they usually have more insulation, better motors, more sophisticated controls. But as the above example shows, the value of the energy they save over their life cycle will pay for the extra investment many times over. So when you're shopping for major appliances look at both tags, doa little figuring and buy the model that will be cheapest over its life cycle -- not just the cheapest on its purchase price. AN ENERGUIDE BONUS FOR ALL Besides providing consumers with information for comparison shopping, the Energuide program is having another effect. Appliance manufacturers are improving the energy efficiency of their models. Already there have been some notable improvements and experts predict that within a few years major appliances will be consuming about 40% less electricity -- while providing the same services. That's a powerful example of how consumer power and industrial innovation go hand in hand. EEG Ce ee | Mail to: Government of Canada Energy, Mines and Resources Canada | P.O.
