of the polls.
Take precautions
at Stephen school
Principal Donald Finkbeiner of
Stephen Central school reports
this week that seven cases • of
hepatitis exist among pupils of
the school.
Ile said every precaution is
being taken to avoid further
spread of the disease. Four
students from twt, families have
returned, to classes after being
away three or four weeks
because of the sickness.
Finkbeiner added, "To the best
of my knowledge members of the
immediate families of those
youngsters suffering from
hepatitis have been innoculated,"
He continued,. "The Medical
Officer of Health for Huron has
visited the school and Health Unit
nurses have visited the homes,
Samples Of the water at school
and at the homes have also been
taken,"
"We are continuing special
precautions every day. The
children are reminded every day
to wash thoroughly every time
they go to the washrooms, not to
share lunches and not, to put their
mouths to the water fountains."
The Stephen principal said
we're doing everything possible
to prevent further spreading Of
1 he disease and hope the situation
rectifies itself,
D. W. J. Mills told the T-A
Wednesday afternoon "we're
doing everything that can
possibly be done to 'curb the
disease. It's being kept under
very careful surveillance."
the farm of Oscar Tuckeyi‘
Sunday morning.
Firemen and neighbors battled
the blaze for almost four hours
before it was brought under
control.
It was the second farm saved
by the firemen this year, with
both owners giving credit to the
firemen and the new water
tanker,
This fall, the water supply
enabled the brigade to save a
barn on the farm of Robert Down
when a nearby pole barn was
destroyed. The Down and Tuckey
barns are located about a mile
apart.
The fire in the Tuckey barn,
located one mile north of Exeter
on Highway 4, was spotted
around 8:00 a.m, by neighbor,
l)on Case.
He phoned the Tuckeys to
advise of the situation and at the
same time a couple of cars came
in off the highway with their
horns honking,
The fire apparently started
around a diesel tractor being
used to dry 6,000 bushels of corn
in the huge barn. Neighbors
helped get farm equipment out of
the building while the firemen
battled the blaze.
Mr. Tuckey said this week he
did not have any estimate of
damage. He said most of the barn
floor had to be ripped off to get at
the fire which was burning
between the double floor. Some
timbers were also burned. There
was no livestock in the barn.
"There was quite a bit of flame
Grand Bend council heard a
very encouraging report on the
financial situation for 1972
business.
Finance chairman Paul Panet
said, "I hopefully expect a
balance of $10,000 by December,
31. We now have a total of $89,000
in our two accounts. Payments in
November including education
levy amount to $34,000, we have a
bank loan of $39,000 to repay and
December expenditures should
be about $7,000."
Corn storage
'suggestions
The weather this fall has been
less than favorable for the
maturing corn crop. Both dry and
wet ears are found in every field.
Because of this, farmers could
have problems when they crib
their corn, says C,E. Moore, head
of the Agronomy Division,
Kemptville College of
Agricultural Technology.
Mr. Moore offers some
suggestions to help prevent
problems developing. First, the
corn should be harvested at as
low a moisture level as possible,
preferably under 30, , With
unfavorable harvesting con-
ditions, the moisture level can be
as high as 35. Problems can
develop more easily as the
moisture content increases.
When the moisture content is
30 or over, crib width should not
exceed 4 u2 feet. The drying
action of winds will not work if
the cribs are any wider.
At the elevator, the farmer
should make sure all the husks
and shanks are removed from the
cobs, When they are not
removed, rot can develop. At the
same time, he should make sure
that the elevator has a grate to
remove loose shelled corn from
the load. If this is added to the
cobbed corn in the crib, it too can
produce rot,
Great care should be taken in
temporary or emergency
storages. If you use snow fencing,
the diameter should not be over 6
feet. This area will allow proper
drying. A cylinder arrangement
in the center will increase air
circulation, says Mr. Moore.

this month told other members of
council he hoped a County levy of
$30,000 that has been outstanding
at the end of each year for some
time would be taken care of as
soon as possible.
Council will be contacting
provincial officials in an attempt
to have Dr. O'Connor of the
Grand Bend Medical Centre
appointed a coroner for Lambton
county.
Council members cited several
cases recently where several
hours elapsed between the time
of a person's death and the
arrival of a coroner.
During the meeting that lasted
.only an hour and a half newly re-
elected reeve John Payne and
councillor David Jackson clashed
on several issues. Jackson ,was
defeated in Monday's election in
an attempt for the reeve's post.
Jackson objected to payment of
an account for Payne's expenses
for a trip to Ottawa when he was
attempting to line up winter
works grants with the federal
government.
The account was approved on a
recorded vote with Jackson the
only dissenter.
Other items in which the two
disagreed concerned a letter
Payne sent out to ratepayers four
days before the election and the
matter of the posts along
Government road which caused
plenty of controversy for 1972
council.
On one occasion councillor
Murray Des Jardins threatened
to call for adjournment when the
two men locked in a verbal battle,

50 males and females of all ages
who are practicing for their
annual Christmas concert,
This year, the chorus is
presenting "Bethlehem" by J.H.
Maunder, and if their practices
are any indication, it will be a
program well worth seeing.
The group is the mixed section
of the Huronia Male Chorus and
they have been working since
October on this musical
presentation.
Although there are no actors
associated with the group, Mrs.
McCaffreyexplained thatthrough
the use of the stage
arrangements and lighting, they
hope to be able to get across the
idea of the passage of time, and
the sequence of events which
surrounded the birth of Christ in
the little town of Bethlehem.
Mrs,McCaffreyis directing the
singers, and their regular pianist
is Dorothy Wildfong. By watching
the group, it is apparent that they
respond almost immediately to
her direction. There is a
straightening of the shoulders,
and a gleam in the eyes that
testifies to their wish to get it just
right the next time.
And Mrs.McCaffrey contributes
a great deal to the enjoyment all

seem to get out of the work. "You
have to get nasty with them
sometimes," she said. "They
have such enthusiam, but if they
think they have something down
pat, they get lazy with their
music, and they need prodding".
But the grin on her face which
usually accompanies any ad-
monishment, belies the severity
of her words.
The Christmas program will be
presented at South Huron District
High School December 15, at $2
per person. "I've found by ex-
perience that a lot more people
will come to see something if they
have to pay to get in," said Mrs.
McCaffrey, The proceeds of the
concert will go to the Huronia
Male Chorus, to support the
many programs they give
throughout the year which are
completely free of charge, such
as church services, senior
citizens programs, and Christ-
mas carolling. They give three
paid concerts each year for this
purpose.
In addition to the live per-
formance of the concert, the
group will be taping excerpts
from it at CKNX television in
Wingham this Sunday. It will be
shown December 17. Mrs. Joan
Henwood will be the ac-
companying pianist for that
occasion.
As they start back to work,
Mrs. McCaffrey says, "Allright
everybody, we're going to do that
over and over until we get it
right". And after 10 or 15 times
going over the same few lines of
chorus, she gets a delighted
smile on her face. "That was
beautifully well done".
