A compact electric “box”
that cooks in summer and heats
in winter offers homeowners in
many areas of the country the
best available solution to all-
weather comfort.

Called the “heat pump,”
this unique heat/cool system
relies solely on electricity and
nature's heat to take the place
of a central air conditioner and
forced-air furnace in new or
existing homes.

More and more home-
owners, concerned about future
means of heating their homes in
the face of uncertain availabil-
ity of oil and natural gas, are
taking a hard lock at the
all-electric heat pump.

GE anticipates one-third to
approximately one-half of all
new homes to be built this
spring willbe heated electrical-

system—by collecting heat in-
side your home and transfer-
ring it outside.

In winter, it heats by
reversing this process.

It is the efficiency of the
heat pump that appeals to
thrifty people: depending
on climate and installation, it
supplies as much as 24% times
heat output as straight electric
resistance heat for the same
amount of electrical en-
ergy input.

For example a_ typical
General Electric residential
Weathertron® heat pump oper-
ating when the outside temper-
ature is 45° can deliver 60,000-
BTUs of heat into the home
while using only 23, 6004 BTUs of
electricity.

What about initial cost?
Generally speaking, cost of a
Weathertron heat pump is a
little more than that for a
central heating system Plus a
central cooling system in new
construction, Installation is an
existing home may require

; additional insulation or duct.

work, depending upon the
home construction and heating
system.

Allelectric heat pumps
like the Weathertron have
another advantage: they do not
pollute the air around your
home, and furnishings may stay
cleaner longer, since there is
no smoke, grime or soot from
burning fossil fuels.

New wave of jeauons

Uy RENNETIE MCDONALD

There is every indication
that Opposition Leader
doe Clark will he a fresh
political voice in Ottawa.
His background and up-
bringing ~ son of a
community newspaper
publisher - are reflected
in statements on many
issues of concern to the
small business community.

to balance the new power

that Clark might one day
lead a new government,
it is appropriate to quote
some of his views for the
record,

eee

“The reports of the
death of smaller commu-

premature — but it is up
to those of us who live
in them, and know their
value, to change the
practices of governments
and industry and demons-

Canada to focal commu-
nities that work."

“The free enterprise
system has: become less
free, in part because of
the intervention of govern-
ment in the marketplace
and, in part, because
government has either
created or sanctioned
large power groups which
have cree to make

eee

For the past 20 years
Canadian policies have
led to concentrations of

“in big institutions of all

Many of Canada’s places
have been named after human

named after an animal friend.
This is the case, though, of the

An Arctic fox, which be-

To commemorate their
friendship the river was given
