Conservation is Needed As Energy Use Increases In the last 15 years Canadians have consumed more energy than all of our forefathers, said Pat Mertl. project leader of the New- castle Community Conserva- tion Centre, at a Rotary luncheon last week. Mrs. Mertl, guest speaker at the meeting, spoke to the Rotarians on the importance of conservation, stressing the need for energy conservation within the home. "Our reserves cannot cope with the demand," she said, "Once our current reserves are depleted, there will be no second chance." Public Concern Conservation, once a matter of private concern only, has become a matter of public concern as the government allocates more funds for energy conservation programs. Mrs. Mertl said that a $380 million program to provide assistance to solar energy research has recently been introduced by the Ministry of Energy Mines and Resources. However, she added that massive amounts of capital will be needed to develop solar and wind energy. Although it may not be economical now, solar energy will become economically feasible once the prices of fuel become too high, she said. Energy conservation can be easily practised in the home, said Mrs. Mertl. Families will not only be helping to conserve energy, but will save money as well. For example, replacing a 60 watt lightbulb with a 40 watt bulb will save energy. Turning the thermostat down by two degrees will reduce the amount of energy consumed by 10 per cent. Time Well-spent Mrs. Mertl told the audience that the energy centre has received some complaints from taxpayers who believed the centre was a waste of money. She said the staff at the centre have spent their time fruitfully collecting information for community use, as well as working on three projects that will be with the community long after the centre is closed. The Newcastle Conserva- tion Centre has been the driving force behind the common garden plot association, the farmers market and the re-cycling depot. All three projects are to be carried on for the re- mainder of the year. Operating at a cost of $49,000 the centre closed on Friday. It began last April as part of the Federal Labor Intensive Program (FLIP), a project designed to provide jobs and inform the public on energy conservation. The information collected by the centre will remain in the community for future reference. Replace Sewer on High St. A Bowmanville street will get underground improve- ments costing $32,306.20 as a result of action taken by the Durham regional council in Whitby last week. Elected officials approved a contract for the construction of a sanitary sewer on High St. Winchester Conduits and Structures Limited was chosen to replace 514 feet of eight-inch sanitary sewers between the CPR right-of-way and Concession St. The Downsview company submitted the lowest of five tenders. A report before regional council said the sewer on the High St. between the railway and Concession St. was in poor condition.
