Council seems to issue licences ad infinitum, ” she told The Review, ‘and that’s where the control’ should be.” : Mrs. Gregorig told The Review that there’ were 12 hairdressing businesses in the Sidney area — five with commercial licences and seven with the homecraft type. : “Tomy mind, 12 businesses in the area is far too many,” she said, “I feel that the majority of the council agrees that there is a Problem, but I don’t see what they can do about it,” she added. :Russ Sharpe, owner of the House of Russell salon, feels that the whole problem started as a result of salon employees quitting their shop and taking with them their regular cystomers, this leaving the commercial business short while building their own home shop. He added that it had not directly affected his business, and because of that the situation . did not bother him to any great extent. ““But if-it did,” he said, would be upset.” FREE ENTERPRISE “J believe in free enterprise,” he told The Review, “but if it takes your bread and butter away from you...” “Brian Clay-MacKenzie of the Sidney Villa felt that there were - HOMECRAFT CONTROVERSY two main problems with the homecraft licencing scheme. “They shouldn't be allowed to have outside advertising,” he told The Review, ‘‘and I don’t agree with the low prices that basement operators charge.” Clay-MacKenzie also made the point that hairdressing was a profession that took years to learn, implying that cut rates were ‘unprofessional. Cecilia George of Cecile’s Beauty Shop added to the general disapproval of the homecraft shops by saying, ‘“‘They should absolutely take them out of the homes. They haven’t got the same expenses as we do com- mercially — we call them buot- ‘legging hairdressers — they can charge less and that is not fair.” - The other side of the problem concerning homecraft licences és that of the home operator. Marieka Oudshoorn, who runs a small beauty salon out of her own home, defended her position. ‘I feel that working out of a home should be allowed,’’ she said. “I feel that an artist, or a seamstress or.a hairdresser — if with no helpers — should be allowed to do it.”’ Mrs. Oudshoorn went on to explain that her children were at school, and that she wanted to be at home when they were at home. She added that it also gave her the opportunity to keep her skills up, in case she should ever want to return to hairdressing full- time.

Sewer line extensions were made, the driveway widened, vacuum breakers put on plum- bing, and special hairdressing stations installed to properly equip her home for the business. Mrs. Carole Archer runs a similar type of shop from her own home, and like Mrs. Oudshoorn went back to hairdressing in her home because of her continued interest in the profession. “Pve got two little boys,’ she told The Review, ‘“‘and I don’t believe in having babysitters.’’ “The hours I work: in it are minimal,” she added, “‘I do it just when the kids are in school.” : In an interview with The Review, Alderman Hugh Hollingworth expressed concern for the protection of businesses in the town. “There are too many cases where homecrafters are in- terfering with commercial businesses,’’ he said. Another problem in his opinion is that businessmen ‘‘paid through the nose’? for their commercial status — specifically under the present taxation structure, which he maintains assesses commercial buildings at a far higher rate than residential ones. , “I think that the town has to support what they are selling,” he said, referring to the business licences sold to new shops opening in the town. This support, in his opinion could come by cutting down the number of homecraft license,’’ he said, ‘‘but no new one would be issued and those that have been GIVING THE FINISHING TOUCH to one of her customers is Cameo salon owner Gwen Gregorig.

Conserving energy doesn’t mean having a nap. Chances are, While you're sleeping, your furnace is working over- lime i wasting a lot of fuel. And energy wasted can mean money wasted. That's only one reason why saving energy means alot more to you than you may think, But it's a reason worth looking into. No matter what you heat your home with — coal, wood, gas, oil orelectricty — more than half the energy you use for all purposes in the home is used for heating. Just about anything you can do to reduce heat losses will reduce your heating costs. The more heat you save, the more money you save, Simple, but true. And of course, anything you can do to help make your heating system more efficient will help you save as well, Furnace filters crave your attention. “pe « | om When a furnace filter becomes clogged with dust and lint,. your furnace has to work longer to keep the temperature where you wantit. The longer it works, the more fuel it uses and the higher your heating costs. Soit makes good sense to clean or replace furnace filters at least twice a year. (For safety’s sake, remember to turn down your thermostat below room temperature, and switch off the power to the fan motor before checking the furnace). Paying alittle atten- tion to your furnace filter can give you a nice warm feeling during cold months. While you're at it, unless your fan and motor bearings are permanently lubricated and sealed, make sure they are properly oiled, and your fan belt is in good condition. Sure, you just checked those last, uh, year? Or was it the year before? Finding outlets for your energy. Floor-length drapes ¢ an be bei iif —aslonga as there's no warm air outlet in the way, Covering an outlet traps the heat between the drapes and the window, which isa good way to keep your windows warm — but waste energy. Keep all warm air outlets, baseboard heaters, and cold air returns clear of drapes and furniture. They'll also doa better job if they're kept clean and free of dust and lint, In addition, if you have an unused or empty room in the house, close the door and the he: ating outlets and you'll direct the heat to the rooms where it’s appreciated, pee are just afew ways you can help conserve energy right now, Keep i in mind, saving energy doesn't take much elon but it can mean more than you think — to your yudget, to your environment, to your future, After all, that's what's such a shame about wast ne ing ener you're wasting much more than just your money, “ When yon use energy wisely, you save alot more than you think, B.C.
