Approximately 80 people showed up to
voice their concern over the erection and
operation Qf earthen manure tanks in the
township of Grey at a meeting in the Ethel
ball on Monday night.
The meeting was held as the result of a
petition circulated in the toWnship which had
over 800 signatures of residents who were
opposed to the coast ruction and operation of
earthen manure tanks in the area L,.

these pits.
Professor Robinson said they were surpris-

turned out to express their concern. He
explained he was interested in manu re for a
number of reasons. He said the two products
you get from an animal are meat and manure
and that manure has more of the nutrients, 75
per cenilof them. He said the University of
Guelph is concerned about preserving that
nutrient and ensuring that manure is treated
and handled so the nutrient is preserved.
"We're trying to develop a system that

storage is that fanners are prone to undersize

could provide a lot of environmental protec-
tion.
He said some guidelines have begun to be
drafted on earthen storage pits which would
prevent environmental contamination, such
as testing soil for the right permeability .
making certain the pit is a certain distance
away from a channel and the neighbour.
Reeve Williamson said "We have this
petition that's concerned about ground-
water and the way it disappears in a
particular area,
"Where does.the fecal material that 'shows

WELL DESIGNED
"The point we're trying to make is that
earthen storage pits as well-designed struct- ,
Ores do not have to contribute to groundwater
contamination:"
From an environmental point of view Mr.
Kains said he felt the tanks have a small
amount of danger as compared to run-off
from beef feedlots or dairy operations
running WO creeks.
He also provideelt cost comparison
between concrete and earthen tanks. Mr.
Kains said concrete tanks are running 7-9
cents a gallon compared to a half cent to two
cents for an earthen pit.

KEEP GOOD WATER
Gord Workirtan, A Brussels councillor who
said hcwasn't speaking on behalf of council
but on behalf of the people said it had just
cost S3 and a half million for Brussels to
convert from septic tanks to the new sewage
system.
"We're blessed with good water in the
town. We want to keep it good.

Joke delivery
,er
Writing a joke is not easy. but even the
funniest story can fizzle if the delivery is
improper.
Most successful stand-up comedians hire
combination of good material and witty
delivery makes a winning team.
If either ingredient is below par. the show
can flop. A writer may remain anonymous.
It's the guy on stage who ,takes the risks,
facing a booing audience or worse -
silence.
An ordinary storyteller takes fewer risks.
All he wants to do is share with friends a
funny story he heard. Some people are born'
-sfOrytellers; others are not. I am one of those
who have trouble repeating a joke. No matter
how hard I try, it seems to lose its zing in, my
translation.
My biggest problem is remembering the
tale. I can spend a. whole night trying to recall
a gag. hi' the meantime, I miss everyone
else's funny stuff.
I've tried writing down a joke as soon as
hear it. But people seem to lose interest if I
say: "Have I got u joke for you 1 Wait. Wait. I
wrote it downn. It's in my purse. I'll find it in a
sec."
Instead I usually try to wing it. A stutter, a
stammer, a long pause. and I've lost my
audience. ---
Sometimes I'm on a great roll, and I've got
everybody hanging on my every word -
waiting for the punch line. And the punch line
is the part I forget.
The worst experiences are when I finish a
story and chuckle at my own humour. Then I
notice blank faces staring at me. Running
over the story in my mind, I realize I left out
the most important part. No wonder no one
understood what I was talking aboti
At other times, I carefully relate ; e tale. I
know I told every detail exactly the way [IN
heard it. Why then does no one-laugh when I
finish?
Well, some people just have no sense of
humour.
Kids are the most honest peoptSon earth,
and' one of them is liable to state loud and
clear, "That's not funny."
Of course. I can reply, "It's over your head,
sonny."
On other occasions: I just grin sheepishly
and mutter, "Yon had to be there to
appreciate how really funny it was."
