Go with caution
A green traffic light doesn't
mean "Go!" It means, "Go with
caution", says the Ontario
Safety League. A traffic signal
isn't a shield to guarantee safety.
Be extra alert when entering an

right — especially in the
moments just after the Tight has
changed from red.

Former CBC %director
joins reflection groups
Jatncs Iiickey, former
program op. rations oficer for
sin years with the CBC and ten
years in the field of radio,
currently at St. Peter's
Seminary, in London, where he
will be ordained a Roman
Catholic priest in 1970, visited
several Reflectiop Groups
participating in Renewal '69.
The groups carne to an end
during the month .of December.
The Reflection Group
Programme was the second
phase of Renewal '69, the
diocesan -wide project involving
90 RC Parishes and 20
Protestant Churches in
Southwestern Ontario, including ,
the community of Clinton..
"T visited reflection groups in
Ingersoll and London and sat in
on the discussions," Mr. Hickey
said, "and was amazed at the
social atmosphere of the
reflection group. Despite the
fact that their discussion was
serious yet, it was attacked with
a true spirit of joy. It seemed
that the participants realized
they were looking for answers
but they knew also that if they
didn't get any, the world would
not come to an end."
He added, "Much is
Consumers pay
Less for eggs
Consumers can expect lower
egg prices during January,
a( ording to the Canada
Department of Agriculture's
monthly food outlook.
Following is the . detailed
forecast:
PORK — Domestic supplies
are lower. Prices can be expected
to remain firm.
BEEF — Supplies may be
sufficient to cause prices to
weaken.
EGGS — Prices will likely
drop sharply due to seasonally
larger production and a weaker
demand.
FOWL — Supplies, 4 lbs and
under, will likely be larger at
relatively low prices.

the . highway and eventually
home.
Many students at Central
Huron Secondary School were
without transportation home
Tuesday because the , buses
which brought them to town
were unable to make the return
trip. An oil tanker tried for more
than an hour to find a route he
could negotiate to make a
delivery at CHSS.
Tow trucks were kept on the
run as drivers found their
laneways plugged, ran into
roadside ditches or just pulled in
too close to curbside snowbanks
in town.
Several Clinton residents were
,hosts to high school students
stranded here Tuesday night;
One public school bus in the
district reportedly left the
school at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday and
some students didn't reach home
until 8 p.m.
Central Huron Secondary
School was closed yesterday.
Federation asks
for drain funds
The Huron County
Federation of Agriculture is
asking the federal government to
pay one-third of the cost of
municipal drains for which plans
were drawn before the sudden
cut-off of ARDA grant
programme funds on January 1.
In a resolution passed at its
meeting in Clinton last week, the
federation notes that many drain
projects had been surveyed and
engineered' and townships
councils were ready to let
contracts when the cut-off was
disclosed.
The group calls on the
government to "pay the ARDA
grant of one-third of the cost of
construction on 'those drains
already engineered."
Copies of the resolution have
been sent to the three members
of parliament in the riding, to
the minister of agriculture and
food, to the ARDA directbr, to
the Ontario hederation of
•Agriculture and to all township
'clerks in Huron County.
• In other business at the
meeting in the Agriculture and
Food Department, Building, the
county federation heard Jim
Boynton, secretary -manager of
the Ontario flog Producers
Marketing Board, outline the
new grading system. Mr.
Boynton urged all hog producers
to register with the board
immediately.

Local schoolmen
still on job
The Huron County Board of
Education, just. beginning to
take hold of the reins of the
consolidated school system, has
asked former local .boards to
serve as committees of the new
board until June 30.
The role of the' committees
will be to handle day-to-day
operation of the schools until
the county staff is 111 a position
to take over and to assist with
budgets and other planning.
The committees powers are
limited and leave all policy
decisions, capital expenditures
and other major responsibilities
in the hands of the county
panel.
It was reported Monday night
all but two secretary -treasurers
of local boards have agreed to
continue in the same' capacity
until relieved by the .county
