T-A photo. Public Health Notice With effect from 1 January, 1970 the use of D.O.T. is banned throughout Ontario except in tobacco and apple growing and then only on a permit basis. Those with D.D.T. in their possession must not dispose of it along with ordinary refuse or flush it into drains or down water closets. A disposal programme is being arranged for the beginning of the New Year, when details will be announced for the collection of the insecticide and its safe disposal. Please check this newspaper for announcement of times and places of collection. Dr. G. P.A. Evans, Medical Officer of Health, County of Huron BELL LINES by W.W. Haysom your telephone manager Looking for Christmas gift ideas? May I suggest a few telephone items that could solve the puzzle of what to get for whom and make your Christmas shopping that much easier. Extension telephones, available in a range of colors and models, are always a hit and offer convenience all year round. Or, for a gift to please the whole family and solve the problem of the "always busy" phone, why not a second telephone with a separate line and a different num- ber? Additional directory listings make good teenage "stock- ing fillers" and, like extensions and second lines, can be enjoyed throughout the year. Another idea that could be just the thing for someone on your list - a Long Distance gift certificate made out for whatever amount you wish to give. One of the great things about these items is they can be ordered today and you won't have to tramp through a crowded store looking for them. Just pick up the phone and call our Business Office. Our representative will be glad to help you. In years past, telephone switchboards often were lo- cated right in the home of the Operator. When you rang up "Central" to place a Christmas call in those days, chances were the Operator would leave the turkey, connect your call and be back working on the dressing before you could say "Merry Christmas". Of course, switchboards to- day are far removed from the domestic scene. But even though you won't hear gravy siizling in the background, you'll find there's a full staff of operators on deck on Christ- mas and New Year's to make sure your Long Distance calls get through. And don't forget, you can avoid the Christmas and New Year's calling rush by placing your calls in the week between these two big days. Low Long Distance rates are in effect weekdays after 6 p.m. and all day Sunday. And if you are calling from an area with Direct Distance Dialing you can save yourself time by placing your own calls. * * AND TO ALL OUR CUSTOMERS, BEST WISHES FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

Mr. Henry in his remarks pointed out that such things as removal of gasoline tax for custom work, the new humane society bill, removal of tax on tractor tires and the breathalizer test are only a few of the things accomplished that were started directly by Huron County Federation, but he says they are the past accomplishments and in the year to come we hope to have a fast growing list of things that we are doing. "I feel confident that with the executive that have been elected today to back me, we will take great strides to have a stronger organization in Huron. County," he said.

Be careful Everyone knows that Christmas is a wonderful time of year - but not as many realize that it can also be a season for accidents unless the proper precautions are taken. Mr. Hal Wright, Provincial Farm Safety Specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food, suggests these safety measures at Christmas time: The Christmas tree should be stood in water and kept in water until it is time to take it down. This is not only good for the tree but is also extra insurance against fire. Flameproofing treatments are not always reliable and should not be relied on completely for fire prevention. If your tree is a metal one, only indirect lighting should be used to brighten it. Don't have Christmas tree lights festooned around it, as this can cause electric shocks. Check all lighting strings for frayed wires, loose connections or broken sockets if you have a natural tree with direct lighting. All lights should be turned off at the power source itself whenever the house is left empty or when everyone has retired for the night. If possible use noncombustible materials such as glass, metal or asbestos for decorations, and dispose of all gift wrappings promptly, in the trash can outside, rather than in the livingroom fireplace. "Tell me," the social chairman of the ladies' group asked the speaker, "do you believe in clubs for women?" "Only," he responded, "if kindness fails."
