Chief Warns Of
Pension Fraud
Possibility that old age pen-
sioners in the area had been
the victims of fraud was sug-
gested with the arrest near
Penetang, of Carl Lorne Lee.
Chief Elmer Hutchinson said
he had been advised that Lee
had admitted defrauding ap-
proximately 100 elderly persons
out of money for medical bene-
fits. He operated in small towns
and rural areas in Southwest-
ern Ontario.
Police believe it likely that a
large number of the victims,
under the impression that Lee
was from the Department of
Welfare. or the Old Age Secur-
ity Board, have not reported
the offences to the police.
If recipients of pensions- are
suspicious regarding any deal-
ings they have had with per-
sons believed to be officials,
Chief Hutchinson asks he be
informed, so the incidents may
be investigated.
TIMELY TIPS
Clean up rats before winter,
advises Prof. R. H. Ozburn,
OAC zoologist. Destroy rub-
bish piles such as any old car-
tons, boxes and old lumber—
they could serve as a home for
rats. Pile lumber away from
livestock feeding areas. Keep
scrap metal piles up on stands
at least five or six inches off
the ground. Remember, no oth-
er method of rat control can
be successful if their nests and
breeding places aren't destroy-
ed.

S eet, Seaforth, who returned
r"e ently following a visit to
her son in Curacao, Nether-
land Antilles, h a s recalled
some of the highlights of her
trip. In an interesting story,
she describes her trip and tells
of conditions as she found
them:
On July 29, 1961, at 8 a.m., I
left for Willemstad, Curacao,
Netherlands Antilles — just
above South America — to see
again, after seven years, my
son and daughter-in-law, and
for the first time their three
children, who had been born
in the meantime.
I had a very good trip by
plane from Toronto to New
York, and from New York to
Willemstad. I arrived at ap-
proximately 7 p.m. the same
day. It was already dark there,
since there is not much twi•
light close to the equator.
My children and grandchil-
dren were at the plane to re-
ceive me, and in no time I felt
at home, the more since the
common language is Dutch ov-
er there—a language which is
still very familiar to me. An-
other language
spoken e
gusgek n there is
xs
what we call "Papiamento",
spoken by the inland people.
The island is very small. Ypu
can go around it in one after-
noon by car, and there is not
much to see. In summer there
is practically no rain, and the
plants — cactuses — and some
trees don't look fresh. Some
Japanese and Chinese people
grow vegetables, but `'luring the
whole day they are- watering
the plants with water they have
to buy. Small wonder that a
head of lettuce costs one In-
dian guilder (approximately 60
cents in Canada). Nearly ev-
erything is dear there because
all has to be imported, except
bananas, which come from South
America and are close at hand
and very cheap.
The population of 120,000, ;.n -
eluding both white and colored,
get along well together, al-
though there is no mixing of
the races.
Because of high costs the
wages are high, for the white
as well as for the colored peo-
ple.Often white people have col-
ored servants, but they are as
well treated as servants in Can-
ada.
The island is rich because of
the oil refineries. Then there
are in wintertime the tourists,
because the weather the year
round is nice and warm, with
a cool sea -breeze. It is a bit
cooler at nights.
There are not many animals
to see, and I did not hear a
SURVEY REVEALS BUYING HABITS
OF AVERAGE E
HURON FAMILY
IL
Y
With changes taking place in
the way the average "family is
handling its houmchold dollar,
questions arise as to "How much
are Huron County families
spending per year?" and
"Where are they spending it,
and for what?"
The answers are provided by
Sales Management in its annual
buying power survey, a volum-
inous market data report. that
covers all of Canada.
In it, each community is ex-
amined with respect to its pur-
chases of food, merchandise,
automobiles, furniture a n d
other items.
In Huron County, it appears,
much of the money that was
spent in retail stores went to
those selling food" and automo-
tive equipment.
These two attracted 32 per
cent of all retail business loc-
ally.
The breakdown shows that
total food purchases last year
in the county's bakeries, gro-
cery stores, supermarkets, but-
cher shops and the like, came
to $8,017,000, a rise from the
previous year's $7,646,000.
This amount which represent-
ed nearly 14 per cent of all re-
tail sales, was for food bought
for home consumption, not in-
cluded was money spent for
outside eating and drinking.
Food buying in Huron Colin-,
ty was equivalent to $513 per
local family, determined by
dividing the total purchase by
the number of households.
Outlets for cars and other
motorcycles, boats, batteries
and tires, • accounted for $10,-
883,000. They garnered 18 per
cent of the retail dollar.
Sturdy sales volumes were
recorded by other retail lines
as well, despite the sag dur-
ing part of the year due to the
recession.
, Department stores and, varie-
ty shops selling general mer-
chandise grossed $7,241,000,
which amounted to 12 per cent
of the retail dollar locally,
Sales in apparel shops, in-
cluding those selling hats;
shoes, underwear and other
clothing, came to $1,831,000, or
three per cent.
Home furnishings stores had
a sales volume of $1,472,000,
equal to more than two per
cent. (Goderich Signal -Star).
