The service was started on Monday, and she was booked solid up until today, with only a few openings available on Thursday and Friday.

He joins about 1,400 other delegates, representing more than 340 municipal electric commissions throughout Ontario, who will be debating a number of resolutions related to the cost, use and _ con- servation of electrical energy in Ontario. The meeting started Sunday afternoon, and runs until this afternoon. A number of resolutions to be considered relate to the cost of power and the establishment of rates and urge the Association -HURONIA FIREPLACES aga eSales eService elnstallations RR3 ELMVALE to press for a reduction in the frequency of Ontario Energy Board hearings, a reallocation of costs to the Ministry requiring such a hearing or review, and to ensure that the cost of power to large user customers in the power district is no Jess than that paid by large user customers of municipal utilities.

For in- stance a section dealing with a certain type of buffet might give recipes for two punches which would complement the meal, one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic. He emphasized that the book will not be a bar- tender's guide, but rather a total guide for the host or hostess. The guide will be divided up so the reader can easily find the section appropriate to the season of the year, or the oc- casion. Westgarth said there will be sections on entertaining at Christ- mas, what to serve after a day of skiing, or what to have in the summer months. The book will steer away, for the most part, from preaching about the misuse of alcohol. Westgarth said it will give a few hints on how to discourage guests from drinking too much, but it will not specifically go into how much one can drink before one becomes unable to drive. It will stick to the _ legal definition of impaired driving, and will quote Consumer' Report's figures on how much one can drink before reaching the legal limit. He said the group is hoping that people who buy the book will un- derstand what it is for and 'what it is trying to do. "We're not trying to say use of alcohol is good, but it can be good," he said. "Tt's usable and it's fun if it's not abused." The recipes and suggestions which will be in the book are now being collected by the group from anyone who wants to contribute. Westgarth said the group has already received an unexpected amount of help from Breweries and from the Wine Council of Canada. The Party Enter- tainment Guide is not the first venture into publishing for the Mental Health Centre Volunteer Association; they put out a cookbook last year which was sold out within months of publication. One thousand copies of the book were printed, and they were sold for $3.50, or $3.00 for those who pre-ordered. Westgarth said it was the success of that book which inspired them to go on to their curent venture. The Party Entertainment - Guide will be somewhere in the neighbourhood of 300 to 350 pages long, and the group plans to print 2,000 of them. They will sell for about $3.00, although the exact price has not yet been decided on. They have no plans yet to publish on any larger scale, although Westgarth said if the book looks particularly good, SAVEON LEATHER COATS, This week only Graham (KHyestlomen's 255 King St. Midland Grates Cluthier 526-2021 SAFETY FIRST for LASTING SAFETY Students learning to drive right when in school will con- tinue to drive right as they grow older.

The proceeds from the book will go towards the work of the Volunteer Association, which in- cludes helping out in various capacities around the hospital, and raising money for _ hospital programs. The Mental Health Centre Volunteer Association has been in operation for about a year, and was established primarily because of budget restraints at the hospital. Westgarth said the group was really quite similar to volunteer groups associated with regular hospitals. WE NEED BIG BROTHERS Want to help a fatherless boy?
