Inland kept busy Inland Natural Gas branch manager Jim Pilla said this week that the company is having difficulty keeping up with the instal- lation of service lines for people who want to change from oil to natural gas this winter. Pilla said that would- be gas consumers are being told they may have to wait three to four weeks. The scramble to change, he said, is simply economics. % é vi VESTED tenderpads take their place in the Firs! With the present rates’ of both oil and natural gas most homeowners can realize sub- stantial savings. How much, he said, depends upon the amount of oil or gas con- sumed, but can run up to 50 per cent. The rush to convert to gas is not unique to Inland’s area, It is also happening in all major centers across Can- ada.

Tourism is expanding and has an ex- * cellent future as it is labor- intensive, is pollution-free and has a minimum impact on the environment. To many people, tourism is hotels, motels, resorts, and highway attractions. This view is much too narrow. Cne Community TV CABLE WEST 10 .
