Mrs. Hess holds a cake given to her by a friend congratulating her for her fifty years of service in Zurich. Both Mrs. Hess and the jewelery store ore still going strong. Water is enemy number 1 for majority of homeowners -renew putty around windows where necessary -make sure roof ventilators are clear; check that exhaust fans if installed, are working properly; examine chimney cap and condition of chimney. Following this routine at least once a year will pick up virtually all minor water problems, Two major problems, condensation and basement flooding, may still occur. If so it may be a job for the experts. Most problems with wet basements are caused by lot grading that directs surface water towards the house instead Of away from it. When this water builds up a head it will find its way into your cellar, even through minute hair-line cracks. The solution is to make sure the ground slopes away from the house, even if it means piling earth up a little higher than you would like it to be. If you don't have any water around your house you probably won't have a problem. Severe basetnent flooding is frequently the result of cracked foundations, poor dampproofing and improper installation of weeping tiles. To correct these faults usually requires the ser- 1 vices of experts. High levels of condensation in attics, on walls and around window frames can cause staining of drapes, rugs and paint work. Just like you, a house needs to breathe. If it can't, then the vapor, or steam, from cooking, dish washing, bathing and showers condenses on cold windows and walls. There are various ways to eliminate excess humidity. If you have a humidifier, turn it down or off. Excess moisture in kitchens or bathrooms can be drawn off with exhaust fans, Dehumidifiers and air conditioners are other alternatives. There is a simple, effective method which is often overlooked. It costs nothing, Open doors and windows regularly to let humidity escape. Even in winter, you can open one or two windows a crack without wasting heat. Get rid of wet air to the great outdoors, where it can do no harm. Try it, Let your house breathe. Let Us Hear 3/4. From You!

PAQIJETTE, Associate Agricultural represen- tative for Huron County While not common in Ontario, silo gases have already taken their toll this year, Three lives were lost in one silo September 14 in Leeds County. These gases are nitrous oxide and nitric oxide gases which are odourless and colourless. After these gases mix with the air they take on a yellowish brown colour and become nitrogen dioxide, Carbon monoxide gas is also often present in silos. These various gases begin for- ming within a few hours after silage is placed in the silo. If the silage is not covered, these gases will usually escape. However, if the silo is sealed in any way, these gases will form on top of the silage and may remain, there indefinitely until the silo is reopened. These gases ar heavier. than air and therefore may form a pocket of gas above the silage which has settled. Running the silage blower may merely agitate the fresh air above the gases without forcing out the gases because they are heavier than air. In order to eliminate this hazard, an oxygen or fresh air mask and equipment should be used, which will give the operator at least a fifteen minute supply of fresh air. This will allow him time to climb the silo and remove the doors in the shute down to the level of the silage. Then he should descend and allow several hours for the gases to dissipate. Operating the silo blower for a half an hour would be an added advantage since this would forcibly remove the gases. In summary, follow these precautions: 1. Never enter the silo when first opening it without having someone nearby for help if need- ed. 2, Recognize that these gases will form immediately the en- silage process starts and con- tinue for two or three weeks after silo filling. If 'the silo is sealed the gases may continue at the top of the silage until the silo is reopened. 3. Use an oxygen supply and remove the doors down to the level of the silage, 4. Allow several hours for the gas to dissipate or use the blower for a half an hour. 5. If you have been exposed to the gas without a supply of oxygen see your doctor immediately even though you feel no effects. 6. Post this warning on the door of your silo or feed room. NOTE — These gases cause an irritation of the nose and throat followed by coughing and. sometimes by sneezing, This may be followed by a partial paralysis which probably ac- counts for the fact that some vic- tims have been unable to get Out of silos, After this paralysis death quickly follows. Test equipment to detect toxic, gases are available from the "Safety Supply Companies." Margaret Hess has clocked 50 years on Zurich's Main Street as merchant and resident. When she married Albert Hess a half-century ago, she moved to town from the Fuss family farm one-half mile south. of Zurich into the apartment above the Hess Jewelry Store. She has never left and cannot imagine living anywhere else. Since Albert's death nine years ago this month, Mrs. Hess has run the business alone. The store is closed only Wednesday af- ternoons and Sundays. The Hess store is probably the oldest business in continuous operation in town. It was established over 100 years ago by George Hess, a German clock- maker, Clocks made by him can still be seen in Zurich Lutheran Church, Exeter Town Hall and Tavistock Lutheran Church, The business has been in the family for three generations, run first by George, then by his son, William, then by his grandson, Albert.

She wanted-OS to see the water colour painting Iva Paters had done of the store, as it looked in the old days, before the addition was Operating on a five-day rather than a seven-day work week is no longer just a dream for dairy proeessors. New techniques have expanded storage periods for milk up to three days. The techniques are attracting a lot of interest because, among other things, a shorter work week can result in reduced operating costs, One recent development is the pre-storage heat treatment of bulk milk, known as `ther- mization', which enables milk processors to store bulk quan- tities of milk with no deterioration. The process results in a final product with enhanced quality because of arrested bacterial growth. The system now is in extensive use in parts of Europe -- especially in the Netherlands -- where treatment costs are running slightly less than one cent for each 100 pounds of milk. The treatment involves pre- storage heating to 65 degrees C for 10 seconds, followed by cooling to 4-8 degrees C for storage. Proper sanitation measures are vital to the success of thermization. Drs, J.A,Elliott and D.B, Emmons of Agriculture Canada's Food Research Institute in built at the back, Besides, that, one of her friends had baked a special 50th anniversary cake, In summer Mrs. Hess sometimes slips off for a few hours at her cottage near- St, Ottawa say the thermization process has aroused interest among Canadian processors. "The costs of such a program would be minimal and easily carried by the industry, We are eager to advise and assist anyone interested in setting up such a system." Dr. Elliott also says ther- mization has potential as a means of overcoming some quality problems now faced by a few processors. However, there are several problems associated with the process. All milk must be ther- mized. Mixing raw and treated milk results in recontamination, Joseph, In winter, she's one-Of the faithful at the arena,..cl*ering on the home team; That, she say's, is a kind of tonic. "Helps keep you young. " She might have added, "And in business for 50 years." of the bulk. Double heat treatments might adversely affect cheese 'flavor, although this has not been a problem in the Netherlands, The most serious problem is sanitation. All tanks and lines must be regularly cleaned and sanitized for the system to be effective. Additional quality control tests should be conducted, say the researchers. Raw milk, treated milk and counts of bacteria that thrive at low temperatures should be monitored. It is hoped that faster and easier methods than those currently in use for this testing can be soon developed. Albert made clocks, however; they repaired them. Jewelry, china and crystal were added to the stock over the years. Main Street has experienced many changes in the past. 50 years. Businesses have come and gone. Landmarks, like the blacksmith's shop, have disap- peared. Some of that past is echoed in the old pocket-watch trademark of the Hess store, its high embossed tin ceiling and sturdy old show-cases. Nothing could be farther from the present owner's mind than retirement, "I'll keep on as long as I have my health", says Mrs, Hess. The store has been closed only once in the last nine years — "when I had art attack of phlebitis in my legs", she explains. That was two years ago. She simply hung a sign on the door for three weeks, reading "Closed on ac- count of sickness", Exercise gets the credit for her good health, She likes to walk and work in her garden. There's also plenty of hiking up and down the stairs between apartment and store. At one time Mrs. Hess used to walk out to the first concession road north of town every day before 7 a.m. She hasn't been on holiday since 1971, when she went to Europe with a niece, Doreen McLachlan, and two friends, Marlene and Glenn Deicliert of London, That was the fourth European trip in a row, They began in 1968, following her husband's death, In 1968 she accompanied a local group to Zurich, Switzerland. It was the first time a group from here had visited this town's Swiss namesake. Her knowledge of German came in handy on that'trip and the others. Mrs. Hess, like many. others here, has been bilingual from childhood, It was inventory time when the Citizens News visited her on Monday. Daughter Kathleen Rydall had come up from Belmont with one of her children Canada has more fresh water per capita than any country in the world. Canadians are pleased with this, until it turns up un- wanted inside the home, where it can do untold damage. Water, moisture, condensation - call it- what you will - is probably the home owner's worst enemy. The only recourse is to make sure that the house's external and internal defences are adequate in the first place and are kept in good repair. In most cases, the major problem results from faulty weatherproofing. Leaky roofs and basements are the main week spots, followed by im- properly fitting doors and win- dRws. Don't wait for trouble to develop, Set up routine checks on the more vulnerable areas, make the necessary repairs and you can rest assured that your house will be snug in any kind of weather. The following checklist will help: • -check the roof for damaged, loose or missing shingles -examine all flashing and seal it with caulking -renal' loose siding; replace rotted areas; repaint if required -check the fit of all outside doors including garage; check weather stripping Researchers continue study into five-day dairy schedule 4 2351331 ' J
