rs ate planning to apen _ their. vacations in their own ' backyards this summer ... .. by their new swimming

what with the high price of gas and work on the car.”

So, last month, the Notts dug & a.saucer-shaped hole in the backyard and set a pool on top of it — the hottest- selling kind of pool currently on the Montreal market.

Porter sald in an interview it ts unlikely the oll q would affect Canada wince the U.S. imports only about 150,000 barrels a day from Canada.

Moet of that is heavy crude ail in excess of what can be handled by Canadian refineries. But Porter said Canada's production capability in conventional crude oll is declining, so ‘the industry might welcome any: drop in exports. —

Porter sald he was un- certain whether the program, which’. aims to reduce daily oil imports to four or five million barrels by 1990, is realistic, but added: “The U.S, goverment and its energy advisers have considered it fully and. established the target, so . they must think it’s. at- tainable.” " f
