(Staff photo) Clinton blackout skips house Blame for power failures in Clinton, Blyth and Seaforth on December 22, a week ago last Sunday, are blamed on "gairoping" hydro lines. An Ontario Hydro spokesman said the freeling rain and wind that night caused power lines to "gallop" and come together to cause the failure in electrical service. The blackout began at 6:10 p.m. It ended in Clinton and Seaforth at 7:16 p.m., little more than an hour later. Blyth was left in darkness until 9:43 p.m. One Clinton resident watched his lights flicker and go out, then peered up and down the street and discovered all the lights out — all that is but one a few blocks away on Rattenbury Street West, There, at No. 91, lives John McFarlane, former town councillor and owner of his own small electrical generator which kept his house and Christmas lights well supplied with current. His independence placed .him in a select group whose members included only the hospital, Bell Canada building and the town water plant where an emergency generator was in operation to keep the pumps running. Ontario works: on plans to insure tomato crops The Crop Insurance Commission of Ontario confirmed today that they have been working on a plan for insuring processing tomatoes. Agreement An principle on the outline of the proposed scheme was reached at the annual convention of the Ontario Vegetable Growers Marketing Board in Hamilton last week. It only remains to refine some of the details involved to make the plan acceptable to the Commission and attractive to the growers.. Upon approval by both levels of government under the Federal-Provincial agreement, the plan as finalized will be introduced for the 1969 crop year. Patterned after other crop insurance plans, perils insured will include drought, excessive moisture, excessive rainfall, 'flood, frost, hail, insect infestation, plant disease, sunscald and wind damage. Provision is also included for replanting losses if damage occurs up to the final date for planting, which has been tentatively designated as June 10. This new concept in crop insurance, a group plan based on full participation of all growers of processing tomatoes, has been• initiated at the request of the growers, It is not, however, .a complusory plan. The optional levels of coverage will be offered, based on the individual grower's average farm yield. A 70 percent level is intended to insure up to full pre-harvest costs. A 50 percent level will be available to growers wishing to cover their out-of-pocket cash costs.

Food watched for safety Did you know that the use of food colours,, preservatives and other chemical additives is controlled for your safety by the Food and Drug Directorate of the Department of National Health and Welfare? Before any food additive can be introduced into the food supply, specific requirements laid down in the regulations under the Food and Drug Act must be met. This is to ensure that nothing is permitted to be added to food in any quantity or under any circumstances that Gould create a hazard to the public health. The directorate must always bear in mind that even in a normal, well-balanced diet, the total amounts of chemical additives must be caiefully controlled. The amounts permitted in each food is therefore kept low enough to avoid all possible hazard. single-car accident resulting in three dollars damage to his vehicle.
