Minister of Transportation and Coinmunications James Snow and Solicitor General Roy McMurtry recently said police monitoring of emergency channel nine on -the citizen's band radio will be extended to all provincial freeways. ' "Experimental projects on Highway 401 and the Queen Elizabeth Way have demonstrated motorists can be assisted by the emergency service in the event of accidents, mechanical breakdown or during poor weather con- ditions," said Snow. "These projects also proved to have two-way benefits," said McMurtry, "because motorists have also been able to alert police . to accident situations, dangerous road conditions and pinpointing other emergencies." "Citizen's band radios will be installed in ap- proximately 40 detachments within receiving range of our freeway system and many of them will be monitored on a 24-hour-a-day basis," added McMurrry. Snow indicated that "this extended program will not only improve safety on our major freeways, but there should be considerable spin- off for motorists using high- ways adjacent to the freeway system. "Eventually we hope to be able to offer this unique service on all major traffic year. Prior to this, the old school was used as an a 1- tiqUe store. Owners before that had converted the one room school into living quarters and added on a large garage, The, 'addition now houses Suppan's glass workshop, On the wall is a certificate from the Ontario govern- ment saying that Suppan is a glazier and metal machanic by trade. Beside that are two large Austrian diplomas, from the places where. Suppan originally ap- prenticed, Despite what his certificates say, Suppancalls himself an artisan. Before opening his own shop, Suppan worked in London, installing store front windows, and windows in new high rise apartment buildings. Although he says he made good money at this job, he looked forward to the day when he could have his own shop. When he and his wife Barbara noticed that the old school was for sale, they "fell in love" with it, and decided to make the pur- chase. The building is per- fect as their home and workshop, they say. As well as trying to build up his stock of lamps and planters, Suppan is kept busy with repair work. Many churches have contacted him to work on damaged, old stained glass windows. Suppan takes the window out of the church if it is small enough to handle, and brings it back to the shop where he he fixes the lead or replaces the glass. Another feature of the Shop are his small "sun cat- chers". These are small window hangings made of coloured glass and lead into various designs and creatures. Flowers, mice, kittens, frogs and other animals hang in the front window. Suppan says that these are easy to make, because glass drops or "globs" are used, and no cutting is involved. Suppan buys the drops of glass, and puts them together with lead to make the various items. The two basic tools used in his other creations are a glass cutter and a soldering iron. The soldering iron is temperature controlled for the fine work he does. He uses soldered lead to put together the Tiffany lamps. But for some of •the finer work, he uses copper foil. The copper foil comes in a long roll and is heated to fit the glass together. When he is finished, Suppan says that he can put copper sulphate on the foil to bring back the copper colour and give it an antique look. For the Christmas season, Suppan has made some very dainty tree ornaments which look like stained glass but are actually coloured What your conscience says about you is more important then what your neighbors say about you. acrylics. 'Suppan says glass he doesn't plan on because they aren't real making any more of them. 4111111111111111111111111111111111111MliiiiiiiiiiimilimmiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiioniolim F2- „ g...

Each little piece of glass must fit .together, By MARY ALDER$QN There are new lessons to be learned at the Old Schoolhouse, SS number IS, Hay township. Wolfgang Suppan has opened a glass shop in the old school, and he is happy to show visitors how he works at his trade. Suppan says that many people see the sign saying glass shop and they are Learned trade. in Austria curious about it. "Some people come in looking for crystal ,and china," he says. But they don't find it. For .Suppan, a native of Austria a glass shop is a place where he works with what is, traditionally called stained glass. Tiffany lamps, planters and terierianis are his main products. Because stained, glass is a thing of the past, coloured glass is used today. Suppan uses two kinds -, cathedral glass, which is simply coloured glass, and opal essence glass which is clouded coloured glass. The Old Schoolhouse Glass Shop is located on highway 83 south of Dash- wood. Suppan has been working there for about a shopping but they often have many other needs which should be' considered. For example, providing nutritious yet economical meals is a challenge for most of us, but for the elderly the challenge may be a problem. Low incomes, lack of adequate transportation and physical disabilities are just a few of the factors that may make food shopping difficult. However, it's encouraging to know that the expression "Never too old to learn" is far truer adage than "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". Here are a few shopping tips. Plan meals ahead,. Keep Canada's Food Guide in mind and include foods from the basic groups at each meal. Make your shopping list as complete as possible. Shop with a friend and share too large containers of food or fresh produce such as a large head of cabbage. And shop when you're in good spirits - not when you're hungry or tired. As much as possible, keep to the outside aisles in the grocery store. This is where you find meat, dairy products and fresh produce. It's a good way of overlooking the more ex- pensive, processed and prepackaged foods that are usually found along the inner aisles. Don't hesitate to ask the butcher to repackage meat into smaller portions if the packages on display don't suit your needs. You can do the same thing for fresh fruit and vegetables. Convenience foods such as T,V. dinners and canned stews are nourishing. They're more expensive but easy to prepare and they cut down on leftovers, Skim milk powder is economical and nutritious. Reconstitute the powder into fluid milk for drinking or use it in baking. routes in Ontario." The system will be com- pletely operational soon, and signs will be erected on all freeways within range of a monitoring station. • seniors on Senior Canadians don't have special nutrient needs, Times-Advocate, March 19, 1980 Pa.0.13. 0 ens in former school
