"This notice first published on the 8th day of September, 1982." Report from Queen'-s Park By The Hon. George Ashe, MPP (PC - DurhamWest) Ontario Minister of Revenue During the week that ended at midnight last Thursday, the Whitby Ambulance Service res- ponded to 99 calls for service. According to co-owner Derek Pearce, the ser- vice responded to 36 routine calls and to 39 standby calls for other ambulance services in Oshawa and Ajax.

As energy costs continue to increase, more and more Ontarians are looking for ways to stop their heating bills from doing the same thing. Aside from turning down the thermostat and ensuring that the furnace is properly maintained, one of the best solu- tions is insulation. The amount saved in fuel costs depends on the age and type of house, existing insulation and other fac- tors, but studies have provided dynamic proof of the energy-saving possibilities of insulation. Home- owners are finding that insulation quickly pays for itself with energy cost savings and after that it's money in the bank. Thickness is not the only factor to consider when determining the effectivenes's of insulation. To provide a standard of comparison for insulation materials, R-valueis used to measure resistance to heat transfer. Tests conducted on insulation mater- ials determine the degree to which heat is permitted to pass through and the R-value is assigned accor- ding to effectiveness. The higher the R-value per inch of insulation, the more effective the material is in resisting heat loss. The Building Code Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations recom- mends that you upgrade ceiling insulation to R-28, walls to R-12, concrete basement walls to R-12. Cathedral ceilings, floors over unheated garages, unheated crawlspaces and overhangs to the outside should all be insulated to R-20. Insulation has come a long way since the days ATTENTION SENIORS I'm Proud to be Me Travel has a bus leaving your area for the following tours: Rochester & Upper New York- -- 4Day Fall Tour-- September 22 to 25, 1982 Includes: deluxe motor coach transportation, full escort services, guided tour of *Niagara Falls, guided tour of Rochester, Admission to George Eastman's home, admission to Sonnenberg Gar- dens and Mansion, 3 nights accommodations, 3 excellent meals (2 dinners, 1 lunch), broadway musical production - "Two -For The See-Saw" guided tour of the Eastman Kodak Plant, baggage handling and shopping tours.

The following are examples of modern in- sulation: - Loose fill insulation includes glass fibre, cellu- lose fibre, mineral fibre and vermiculite (R-value per inch varies from 2.1 to 3,6). - Batt or blanket insulation is generally made from glass or mineral fibre and is available in dif- ferent widths and thicknesses (R-value ranges from 2.9 to 4.0 per inch). - Rigid board insulation is a combustible syn- thetic grouping which includes extruded polysty- rene, expanded polystyrene, phenolic foam board and polyurethane slabs. The E-value varies from 5.9 to 7.1 per inch and great care must be taken to ensure that this material Ls properly installed or a severe fire hazard could be created. - Polyurethane foam insulation is relatively new and must be installed by factory-trained mechanics having some knowledge of chemistry. Complex equipment and mixes are used and improper in- stallation could cause damage to your home (R- value ranges from 5.9 to 7.1 per inch). Under winter conditions, the moist warm air in- side heated space passes into the cold outer areas of teh building and condenses in roof and wall cavities. To control moisture migration, vapour barriers should be installed on the warm side of the wall or ceiling if possible.. Adequate ventilation in attic and roof spaces helps keep the insulation dry and retain its effectiveness, prevents mould growth, corrosion and rotting of wood and reduces paint peeling pro- blems. Before making the decision to insulate your house, consider the condition of any existing in- sulation as well as vapour barriers and ventilation provisions. Pay particular attention to areas around light sockets, plumbing and wiring where heated air may be escaping and check for evidence of moisture in the form of mould, rotten wood or water marks. Upon completion of your home in- spection, you must decide whether insulation will be a "do it yourself" project or one which will require the skills of a contractor. If you decide to hire^a contractor to insulate your home, I would suggest that you talk to friends, neighbours, business contacts or anyone else who has had insulation work dône so that you are certain that you are hiring a reliable contractor. Insist on a comprehensive contract which outlines in'dletail the materials to be used (R-value), warranty, price, date of completion and liability provisions. And when the contractor tells you that the work is com- plete, inspect it with him to ensure that the project meets with your approval. The federal government is offering a taxable grant which covers the cost of materials and labour used to reinsulate residential dwelling (maximum $350 for material costs and $150 for labour charges). For further details regarding this program, contact the Canadian Home Insulation Program (CHIP) at 1-800-268-1841 (toll free) or 365-000 (Toronto). The Ontario Government believes that we can cut our rate of growth of energy consumption and has established targets which would bring that rate down to average 1 per'cent per year between 1980 and 1995.
