Unfortunately, she also broke her own life-long good health record and marked the occas- ion in a London hospital, the first time in her life she has been hospitalized. The sudden illness which struck shortly before her birth- day temporarily cancelled a family party which was to have been held at the home of her son, Clin ton's deputy-reeve, John Sutter, with whom she makes her home, A member of one of the old- est pioneer families in this part of the country, her parents were both born in Canada after her grandparents had moved here from Germany. When her parents arrived in the Gadshill area in Perth county, her father was forced to walk six miles along a wind- ing path to obtain supplies, as there were no roads leading from his home to Stratford. Her father owned a grist Mill and a saw mill and later a stave factory, and the workers boarded at the Ratz home, meaning that Mrs. Ratz and her daughters cooked and washed for over 20 men every day-a job lasting from before daylight until after dark. Mrs. Sutter reported that bread was baked in a special bake house twice a week, with flour being measured by the 100-pound lot.

After the animals had been butchered, the meat was placed in large vats of brine, Mrs. Sut- ter recalls. It was kept in the smokehouse where it remained until March when it was re- moved and hung over smudge fires to cure it. A huge bell, which now hangs in the Sutter home here, for- merly hung in the belfry on top of the Ratz home and it called the men for their meals.

The workmen sat at a long wooden table specially built for them and 'Mrs, Sutter claimed that a 40-pound ham would only last two meals. It cost $200 a year for her parents to clothe themselves and their 12 children. The old- est daughter, as seamstress, was kept at the sewing mach- ine all day long Washing was another task which the women found hard work on Monday, and it was done in the wash house, a sep- arate building. The linens were scrubbed in huge vats of hot water, After her parents died, Mrs. Sutter and her husband return- ed, to her old home, and their seven children were raised there. The house was originally a log cabin, but as the years went by it was enlarged until there was a huge dining room across one end, with a bedroom large enough to hold eight beds above it. Only part of the house re- mains now. The habit of keeping busy is still with Mrs. Sutter. Until her illness, she kept herself oc- cupied by corresponding with her many friends, reading ex- tensively and watching tele- vision. Four of her seven children still living are: John, Clinton; Harry, London; Mrs. Clara Beatty, Stratford and Mrs. Ed- na Finnan, Willowdale. 0 PUC Manager Reports Increase In Use of Water PUC Superintendent J a b e z Rands reported Thursday that Clinton's water consumption rose one million gallons this year to a new high of 150,895,- 000 gallons. He also reported an increase of 250,000 kilowatt hours in power use, despite the loss of the Canada Packers plant which averaged 500,000 before closing down. The superintendent noted that the town's transformer bank peak was "soon going to be loaded up" and gave a brief re- port on adding more trans- formers to the system. He pointed out there were three old transformers available and he quoted figures to have them rewound for use. The cost as estimated •by a Hamilton firm was approximat- ely $1,800 each, plus oil, parts and freight. The transformers were pur- chased about 10 years ago at a cost of $3,000, but he pointed out it would be much more expensive to purchase replace- ments. Rands told the PUC at their meeting it would entail approx- imately half the cost of new ones to have the three , re- wound. No action was taken on his report, but he noted that the PUC "has to keep thinking of these things". A letter from Ontario Hydro was read explaining the reason for the commercial rate for electrical heating being higher than that for domestic use. They pointed out there were few facts available regarding commercial electrical heating and the figures had to be plac- ed higher until more facts and figures were known. The letter noted it was easier to set domestic rates due to the fact domestic use follows a more definite pattern of use.

Brings Warning For Residents Although the incidence of rabies in Ontario has hit its highest peak since the epidem ic of 1958, Dr, J. C. MacLen- nan, health of animals veter- inary, Seaforth, said this week it was no more serious in Hu- ron than it has beep, He added there had been few more cases than usual, but noted that rabies "has been quite continual in this area". Dr, MacLennan explained most of the reported cases were in the townships of How- ick, Turnberry, Morris, Grey, and Hullett and was confined mainly to wild life, although some cats and cattle had con- tacted the dread disease, "I don't want to make peo- ple panicky", he 'said, "but I would rather have 10 people panicky than one person be- coming careless". He warned that people sh- ould use extreme care at all times regarding animals that are acting strangely and espec- ially .warned that hunters take extreme caution in handling animals that may even slight- ly be considered rabid. The Seaforth veterinarian pointed out people didn't ap- pear concerned about rabies until such time as it directly affected them. He reported one case some time ago when a fox jumped at a passing truck and was killed, and while the driver was in a neighbouring house phoning the authorities, some one came along and took the dead animal away. "There was no doubt it was rabid," he stated. "Mishandling such as that is very serious", he added. While he agreed with some authorities that have suggest- ed owners not allow their dogs to run loose, he pointed out this was difficult especially with farm dogs. However, he pointed out it could be dangerous to allow a dog to run loose and then come into the house and be intimate with the family. He noted one case where a dog came home showing the visible signs of a battle with some other animal and it was allowed to live with the fam- ily until it died of rabies. Again he urged that people use extreme caution in such cases and make themselves a- ware of the fact that rabies is in continual existence in Hur- on and act accordingly in hand- ling animals that show a n y signs of acting strangely. He also reminded residents to contact his Seaforth office immediately to report any sus- pect cases. Predicts Continuation Edward Meadows, senior conservation officer in .Lake Huron District, reported last week that the 1958 onslaught left the province with the dis- ease and he predicted it would continue for many years. He said rabies is a reality "and we. have to live with it". 0 WESLEY-WILLIS UM TO MEET JANUARY 9 The general meeting of the United Church Women of Wes- ley-Willis United Church will be held in the church next Wednesday, January 9 begin- ning at 9 p.m. (This will follow Week of Prayer service at the Christian Reformed Church).

Loan Large Sums 'To Farmers In his introductory remarks at the meeting, Elston Cardiff reported that Huron farmers had borrowed $1,500,000.00 from the Farm Credit Organ- ization.
