Ian Efford of Energy, Mines and Resources about the development of a furnace efficiency kit to save fuel costs. I would like to know If this kit can also be applied to a fuel oil furnace which heats water for a swimming pool? And when will such information be made available to furnace maintenance companies? Officials at Energy, Mines and Resources within that project suggest that the kit may possibly be used for the swimming pool furnace but it would depend upon the size of and materials within the combustion chamber. The burner mayhave to be modified by a licenced serviceman, and such kits may be in the hands of such servicemen by later this year advise these same officials.

Joyce Brothers By Bob Bowman iiy-- Landers We are In an apartment with sliding metal windows which seem sticky and will not slide. Is there any treatment we can give them to make them operate more smoothly? Try one of the commercial silicone spray lubricants on the market. The lubricant is a handy tool for do-it-yourselfers in any season not just in winter when it can be used to keep car door locks from freezing. Use the silicone on the tracks of metal or wood windows for easier sliding, following directions on the package. It may also be used as a spray tool to protect bicycles and other metal objects from rusting.

Beauty is a help Report gossips Dear Dr. Brothers: Where may I obtain lists of shortwave stations from around the world? And also American AM stations? Some bookstands carry magazines listing such stations. Failing that, use your public library where you may also find that such information is available say Communications department I'm married to a very good looking man who is also very spoiled. I've tried to talk with him about this but he honestly has no idea that he's been spoiled because he's always been a beauty. He just doesn't know what it's like for people who have some physical de-.

feet or who' have just ordinary looks. I do know what it's like because my beauty (if I have any) didn't sur- face until I was well past 16. Maybe one of the reasons is that I had to wear braces on my for several years so I didn't get the special attention that a pretty child gets. My husband denies that attractive children get special treatment. He's impatient with our son because he compares the child to himself.

Britain could have owned Canada in 1639 if King Charles I hadn't been so hard-pressed for Port Royal had been captured by Samuel Argall from New England in 1613 and that really meant the capture of Acadia. William Alexander sent settlers to Port Royal in 1629 and renamed the area Nova Scotia. Later in the year the Kirke brothers captured Quebec for England and took Champlain to England as a prisoner. However Champlain maintained that the capture of Quebec was illegal because the war had ended before the Kirke brothers forced him to surrender. He was allowed to go to France where he urged King Louis XIII to regain Acadia and Canada.

King Charles of Britain clashed with parliament which would not vote him any money so he made a deal with France. Charles had married Princess Henrietta Maria of France and was supposed to receive her dowry of 800,000 crowns- Only 400,000 crowns had been paid so Charles agreed to return Canada and Acadia to France when the debt was paid. The bargain was made on June 12, 1631, and France regained the territory in 1632 by the treaty of St. Germain-en-Laye. Britain muffed another effort to get Canada in 1711 when Sir Hovenden Walker was sent to capture Quebec with a huge fleet of warships.

Owing to bad navigation, he lost some of his ships off Sept lies in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and abandoned the attack. He could easily have continued to Quebec and had overwhelming military superiority. Another strong British army force was waiting at Lake George to march on Montreal while Walker attacked Quebec. It was disbanded when news was received of Walker's disaster.

So Canada remained as a colony of France for another 52 years. Other events June 12: 1690: Henry Kelsey left York Factory, Hudson Bay, to explore the west. 1714: British force captured Placentia, Newfoundland. 1811: Lord Selkirk was granted Red River area as a colony. 1828: York (Toronto) census revealed there were 60 taverns.

I don't know but you might tell him that many studies on the benefits of beauty bear out your views. A team of Penn State psychologists conducted an experiment involving 602 persons who used a telephone booth in a large Midwestern airport. Forty seven per cent were willing to contact the good-looking owner of a "lost" graduate school application with photo Good-looking persons are much more apt to receive special help from first grade on through college and after. Teachers favor good looking pupils and various studies have shown this. Researcher speculate that good-looking persons may be more skilled socially because they receive this positive feedback.

What your son needs is to get more positive feedback from his I remember that back In the early part of the year yod referred in your column to a location where you can obtain cans for home canning. And the canning machine? Any help with this? I didn't need the information then and didn't make a note of It but now I have a garden. You will find such equipment in several of the older established hardware stores in Ottawa, including Trudel's on Rideau Street. Dear Ann Landers: Please tell me why people who hold jobs where confidentiality is vital, blab to outsiders. We live in a rather small town.

The privileged information that leaks out of our banks, schools, health clinics, is beyond belief. I've heard bank clerks (and executives) gossip about overdrafts, loans, bad cheques and foreclosures. Teachers pass on information about students that would curl your hair. -Nurses and yes, sometimes doctors, discusss intimate details of their patients' illnesses and lives things that are highly personal. For example if a woman doesn't want it known that she had a recurrence of a malignancy, does the nurse who assisted in the surgery have the right to tell it over a bridge table? What's the matter with these people anyway? What can be done about them? Boiling In The Midwest Dear Boiling: "These people" feel the need to elevate themselves by children.

Wouldn't it be better to say the word straight out and if the child asks questions just give a. simple explanation? I'll bet the youngster would be satisfied with any kind of an answer. I don't think you've ever dealt with this in your column. Please express an opinion. Columbus Dear Columbus: Spelling is the tip-off that something "off-limits" is being discussed.

Little ears perk up and the kids pay very close attention. They also learn to spell a lot faster. I don't believe everything should be discussed in the presence of six-year-olds. There's a lot to be said for saving certain topics for later and nothing's wrong with keeping children occupied in another room with games or activities suited to their age level. Dear Ann: Can I say something to that kid who thought pot was the greatest? I'm 18 and I've been on a terrific high for the last three years.

But it's not pot that does it for me. It's Jesus. I don't need drugs or booze. My kicks come from loving Him and knowing He loves me. It's the greatest trip there is.

Some people think I'm strange but I can tell you my lif has been 100 per cent better since I found Jesus. Do you think I'm freaky, Ann? Please answer. Feeling Fine Dear Friend: Not at all. The freaky ones are getting their heads messed up with chemicals. Religious faith can bring people through life's most difficult trials.

Six spades on the North-South cards is not a sound undertaking, for there are too many potential losers in the minor suits. Nonetheless, we cannot find fault with the auction North well, worth a jump to three spades, and South simply had too many points to stop short of slam.
