Audrey Mayer opens
new gift shop
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
Audrey Mayer is a woman who hates to
be idle. That's why on Thursday of last week
she opened a brand new store in Brussels,
called Creative Gifts.
Currently, the store contains quilts,
atighans. , baby quilts, toys, dolls, beadwork,
floral designs, slippers, toques, hats, hand-
embroidered pillows and even a lamp made
of popsicle sticks. And therein lies the basic
idea for naming the store because as Audrey
says, "There are so very many talented
people in the area."
The handiwork was• contributed by
Audrey's friends and their friends and soon
some of Audrey's own knitted items will be
included in the store display. The idea of the
name Creative Gifts, came from "things
created by people," Audrey says.
The idea for the store came to her a month
ago and she said she couldn't stand being
idle any longer. Plus she says she enjoys
being' with people.
Most of the items now in the store were
made in advance. Success for this new
venture in the village seems assured, as this
store just opened on Thursday and a number
of items were sold' that day.
The store will be open 10 a.m. to S p.m.
from Tuesday through Saturday.

he was not prepared to place
such legislation before the
legislature, they wanted an
immediate freeze on the
purchase of Ontario farmland
by foreign interests.
Huron County re-
presentatives included Grant
Curran, vice-president of the

Agriculture; John Van Beers,

East Central; Bob Robinson,

Federatin of Agriculture and.
Merle Gunby, president of
the Huron Federation of
Agriculture.
Mr. Henderson told the
delegation "his hands were
tied" because he cannot act
until a bill, now the house, is
passed. This bill would re-
quire" - absentee foreign
onwers to register with the
government and companies
with off-shore interests
purchasing farmland in the
province to declare
themselves. The bill would
only be in effect for one year,
however.
The minister did suggest
that the Huron Federation
approach their county council
to request the government to
pass a bill placing a freeze on
the purchase of farmland in
the county by foreign
absentee owners.
Since the bill would only
protect Huron County and
not the entire province, the
federation representatives
decided against this action.
PLAYING POLITICS
Director John Van Beers
said, "We didn't accomplish
inything" on the visit and
accused the minister of
"playing politics with us."
Mr. Van Beers said local
federation members hazi sent
Mr. Henderson a letter
outlining their concerns
about the increasing foreign
ownership in the county.
When JAPP Jack. Riddell
raised the issued in the
legislative assembly, Mr.
Henderson told the house
Huron County federation had
"sent him a nice apology",
