Atle fans are generally cheaper than alr condition- ing, and operate on less power. They can be activated manually or by thermostat. ‘You might check with a local building ‘contractor or elec triclan ‘about the cost and mechanics of installation. Do make sure the fan is placed high on the roof to give you its full benefit.

Draw blinds to -keep out

Awn- ings, louvered sun screens on windows, and the leafy shade Of trees can also reduce heat by as much as 80 per cent.

If you have a forced air heating system, try turning ‘on the circulating fan. It will move cool air from the base- ment throughout the house.

Dear Sir:

Some facts about Premier Barrett's financial priorities may be of interest to your readers in the Castlegar area,

During the Spring Session of the Legislature, the official opposition strongly critleized Premler Barrett's $3.2 billion budget because it-represented a decline in spending ‘for services to people as a per- centage of the total spending pieture.

In that budget, there are many examples of Prémier

‘The staff of many provin- cial health and penal institu: tions is overworked because the government has failed-to provide funds for more staff to meet the demands for service.

In short, many British Columbians are feeling the very real consequences of the reck: less spending and extravagance of the Barrett government since it came into office. Money which should have been’re- served for the economic rainy day British Columbia ‘is now suffering through, has-been spent—mueh-of it'on frivolous items.

Now, the government is faced with two options, neither of which is acceptable to'me.

| With the provincial treasury depleted, Premier Barrett must °

elther cut back on services or face a deficit budget.

'¥' commitment, to’ the people of British Columbia is to form a government which ‘will not only’ establish the ‘highest and finest level of services for

‘people, but to provide sound

‘and stable management ‘of our province's resources 0:that

‘these services can be fully

maintained in both good. and bad-eeonomic times. - * W.R, Bennett Leader of the Opposition
