If you're on the planning committee for spring teas, bridal showers or any other large-scale events, these sandwich facts from the Food Council, Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, will be of help. For a daytime reception of mixed company, allow two slices of bread per person. At a ladies' gathering the hostess should allow one to one and a half slices of bread per guest. A one-pound loaf of bread has about 30 1/2-inch slices, giving 15 sandwiches, while a 24-ounce loaf has about 40 slices, giving 20 sandwiches. Day-old bread is best for buttering, but for any rolled sandwiches use the freshest bread you can get so the sandwiches won't crack when rolled. When buttering, allow about one teaspoon butter per bread slice if the crusts are left on, and one half to one third teaspoon butter if the crusts will be trimmed off. One pound of butter will spread about 130 slices of bread or enough for 65 sandwiches. * * It is the season for rhubarb.

EXETER Village of Grand Bend Financial Report Balance . Sheet Cot*. ' Notes To Financial Statements Auditor's Report To the Council and Ratepayers of The Municipal Corporation of the Village of Grand Bend Ladies and Gentlemen: We have examined the books and records of the Village of Grand Bend and the Public Utilities Commission for the year ended December 31, 1968. Capital Fund Capital expenditures for the year were $5,405.80. These were financed from the revenue fund. The debt to Ontario Water Resources Commission was reduced by $3,090.62 during the year. The principal balance now stands at $2,219.77 and will be retired in 1969. Current Fund The surplus now stands at $85,133.02, an increase of $23,751.86 over the previous year. According to provisions of the Municipal Act this surplus must be used to reduce the 1969 levy. As this could not be done without severely impairing the Village's cash position for 1969, it Is recommended that an amount equal to the accumulated surplus be included in the estimates for 1969 as a reserve for working funds. Outstanding taxes at December 31, 1968 were $43,207.74 with $5,356.91 due from 1966 and prior years: It is recommended that tax sale proceedings should be commenced on the lands which are so liable.

The audit has been conducted in accordance with the instructipns of the Department of Municipal Affairs. 3.
