The head office and two plants of the company are located in Chatham with other operations in Rexdale, Vancouver and Calgary in addition to Centralia. Manufacture of the plastic fitting last year at Huron Park was the beginning of a new line for Daymond. In addition to the plumbing fittings plastic wall tile and trim are produced at the local plant. Plant manager Ed Godin said, "Our product is sold directly to the plumber and we don't compete with our buyers by putting the fittings for sale in stores. Daymond's Centralia plant now employs 32 persons, all recruited from this immediate area and production is maintained 24-hours per day and seven days a week. The plant is located in one-half of Hangar 7 which formerly housed the Mobile Equipment Section at the Centralia Canadian Forces Base. Godin said the plastic pipe fittings were the main business of Daymond at Huron Park but wall tiles were produced and sold directly to Alcan Mobile Homes and Simpson-Sears. The plumbing fittings are sold under the trade name of Yardley while Daymond is the trade name of the wall tile products. The parent firm deals in both plastics and aluminum. Aluminum doors and windows are extruded at Chatham and assembled at Rexdale. The local plant manager said a lot of the doors and windows reach the mobile home manufacturers in this area.

Hay approve four-way stop At its latest meeting Hay township council approved a plan to develop a four-way stop at the corner of the Goshen Line and the Town Line. Eventually, they plan on making the Goshen a through road, but under DHO regulations the intersection must first be turned into a four-way stop. A by-law was passed at the meeting allowing the Tuckersmith Municipal Telephone System permission to bury cable on the second concession. Another by-law, setting out subdivision control on Hay Township, was given and first and second reading at the meeting. Regarding the Eacrett municipal drain report, members of council referred the plan back to • the engineer for further consideration. Tenders are being called by the township for the supply of 17,000 cubic yards of sand cushion, to cover two and a half miles of road on the Bronson Line north. Having received a notification from the Ontario Department of Health regarding the burning of refuse at the township dump, the council instructed clerk Wayne Horner to write to the Department asking for a permit to allow such burning. All municipalities have received the same notice from the department advising them that they are guilty of air pollution by allowing burning at their municipal dumps. The Hay Council is also asking the department for recommendations as to an alternative plan, if such a permit should not be allowed. Hay Township has offered the village of Ilensall to pay 321/2 percent of the new fire truck for that municipality, as long as the township share does not amount to over $5,000, Negotiations have been going on for some months now between Hay, Tuckersmith and Hefitall regarding fire protection.

Dear Sir, Last Saturday, on our travels, passing through Zurich, my wife and I came upon a group of teenagers, some twenty five in number, who had taken possession of a hardware store, and in dilapidated jeans and smocks and wild head gear, were staging a "Paint-in." All the furniture had been tossed out, and there this gang was, making all sorts of rhythmic motions, in every position possible, scraping the floors, scrubbing the walls, painting the ceilings. They were rudely dressed — for a purpose; they were odoriferous — with turpentine; they were in every kind of pose — to reach difficult spots. They were surely "hipped'- — to help a merchant clean up after a disastrous fire. Thank God for young people like the young Mennonite group, who were using up their abundant energy to good purpose. We should take our hats off to such youth who do not need artificial stimulants to "turn them on." Sincerely yours, Rev. It. V. Wilson, Centralia, Ont. Editor's note: A letter in last week's edition of the Zurich Citizens-News from Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Gingerich, fire victims, also praised the efforts of the young people, as well as many other community-minded people who helped with the dean-up. Said the Gingerichs "It makes one want to break down and cry.), You Cannot put the same shoe On every foot.

YOU still get an air-cooled engine in the rear that doesn't need water or antifreeze. You still get around 31 miles to a gallon of gas. And despite other innovations like a new double joint rear axle and a heated rear window, we've still made sure that you get a car that isn't too smart for its own good. Because we wouldn't want it said that we let our electronic brains go to our hoods. QUALITY CONTROL INSPECTOR SAM KINGMA WITH PIPE.
