Are you thinking about trying to save a bundle by installing a wood-burning stove in time for next winter? It may sound pretty good, but before you do, we thought you should read the following carefully. An economist in Western Canada with a sense of humour worked out this cost-benefit analysis of wood-burning stove, furnaces and fireplaces and we thought you might get a chuckle out of it. Assume that the stove, necessary pipe and instal- lation charges cost $458; that's the divisor for the pay-back equation, right? Not quite - there are other items. 1. Chain saw - $149.95. 2. Gas and maintenance for saw - $44.60. 3. Four-wheel drive pick up for hauling wood - $8,389.04. 5. Replace pick up rear window (twice) - $510.80. 6. Fine for illegally cutting tree - $300.00. 7. Fourteen cases beer for friends who help cut wood - $16.00. 8. Fine for littering - $50.00. 9. Charge for towing pickup out of swamp - $50.00. 11. Doctor's fee for removing splinter from eye - $45.00. 11. Safety glasses - $29.50. 12. Emergency treatment for cut foot - $75.00. 13. Safety shoes - $49.50. 14. New living room carpet - $800.00. 15. Paint living room wall and ceiling - $110.00. 16. Chimney cleaning equipment - $45.00. 17. Log splitter - $500.00. 18. Fifteen-acre wood lot - $9,000.00. 19. Taxes on wood lot - $310.00. 20. Replace coffee table chopped up and burned after consuming item 7 - $75.00. 21. Divorce settlement - $33,678.00. The real first-year cost of putting a wood stove, in this case, comes to $55,221.39. Of course, $55.22 in oil costs were saved. That gives a projected pay-back time of 1,000 years. But the first year is always the hardest. 2 a Thomas Sutherland, Murray Geer, Robert Sutherland, Lloyd Ross, Harold Harper, Bert Mitchell, Kenneth Reynolds, Audrey Spragg, Aileen Harper, Audrey Miller, Mildred Lakey.

This is surely a sign that a large majority of citizens are in favour of expanded library facilities. The number of people who signed the peti- tion against the new library concept, after all, are a minority in the township. The existing library build- ing is a classic example of architecture after the first world war, and it will be spoiled if a large addition is attached. As a War Memo- rial, I am sure it could be maintained by local service clubs and put to good use in the community. The proposed lakefront site for the new building is excellent, in my view, with ample parking. What an asset to have good looking and functional public build- ings in a tourist town! We need a new larger library. Why should we have to travel to Oshawa for books Trenton reunion Dear Sir: Civic Holiday Weekend - August 1-4, Trenton High- School is holding "Back Home Days" for anyone who has ever been associated with the school.

Thank you. and resource material, especially when gas is cost- ing more. It is a fact, that local people, myself in- cluded, find it necessary to do so. A very small portion of the cost of the library is being financed by the local tax dollar. Ask your Councillor, or Library Board member to explain the details. I am convinced the library propo- sal is a good one. I trust that the Ontario Municipal Board will speedily give their consent to the waterfront site, in order that construc- tion can soon begin. Yours truly, Betty Deeth, R.R.2, Port Perry Durham Police patrol 120 hours on Scugog So far this summer, the Durham Region Police Marine Patrol has logged more than 120 hours on Lake Scugog. At present, the boat is manned by four regular duty officers and they are usually accompanied on patrol by a member of police auxiliary. So far this summer, the marine patrol officers have laid a total of 17 charges including two for dangerous operation of a boat, six relating to liquor, and nine concerning faulty or insuffi- cient boating equipment. On top of this, the officers have issued 28 cautions to boaters. A spokesman for the Durham Region police told the Star last week that boaters on Scugog who ignore regulations or present a safety hazard can expect to face charges from the police. Also, so far this summer, the police boat has assisted 18 disabled vessels and towed them to shore. The marine patrol is out on Lake Scugog every Friday, Saturday and Sunday on a regular basis, as well as holiday Mondays, and there are spot patrols throughout the week. - »~ Sor Gr hee AA vy nC Dn ro PRA LTR bY wl LY Eg PT Tor SERNA a --- LS > Bo Ree " Sa Oi AP IL Zon Sd EY das yy gd J EN LA Xa ~ = HS Ped XARA -~ 50 whl S hr , RA Ae te 55 en Nein CREAT PA 3 SRT IAN NS oe ERAS FIN ala rai 8 54 a , rs ni SE i!
