"I can't see where we can veto anything which will beautify a portion of the town," Livingstone stated. The PUC gave their blessing providing that a tree which might obstruct the view of the clock which hangs from the PUC wall on Main Street is moved. In another matter related to the beautification of the town, Davis reported that his men and the town's work crew had planted about 55 trees en— the,, ,town's . and private property. this spring. Including labor, the tree planting cost the town around. $2,500. A few years down the road the tree planting could save the town money as the trees have been planted away from existing over-head and buried power linesand sewer and water lines. Usborne township on which the well 'is located have demanded that the original lease agreement which was signed by the property's former owner in 1960 be renegotiated. Through their lawyer the Prouts told the PUC that they deem the current., agreementwillexpire onJune 10 and that entry onto the property aside from maintenance requirements on the pipeline will be con- sidered trespassing. The PUC has maintained tharthe original igreeirierit is binding on all subsequent owners with manager Hugh Davis noting that the yearly payments have been in- creased on a voluntary basis by the PUC. The Prouts have also asked that a fence which was erected by the PUC be removed. Livingstone said the matter "is turning into a problem but not a drastic problem and that "it's nit- picking on behalf of both parties (the PUC and Prouts.)" In reply to a query from a commission member Davis replied that the well was an • integral part of the town's water system. When asked if the PUC might be abletopurchase the well property Davis replied that the Prouts had shown a willingness to entertain offers. The PUC has received four quotations on the erection of the new sub-station on Rosemount Avenue in the north-east section of town. This contract is for labour only as the PUC has already purchased the sub-station's main parts. Two'of the labor contracts were based on preliminary drawings while the other two were based on revised drawings, At the behest of com- mission member Mayor Derry Boyle the commission deferred a decision on awarding the contract until the other two contractors nave had a chance to quote on the revised specifications. The commission gave their approval to changes in the Livingstone saidthiswas a minor point with the main concern being a better looking town. While Canada's neighbors to the south of the border have been showering us with lots of kindness lately, one member of the PUC is not all that fond of United States. An article indicating that Canada might start taxing the United States on the sale of surplus electrical power and which had been brought to Davis' attention by one of the electrical assocgtions was,the basis for Boyle's ire. He said the U.S. should be charged adifferent rate with Livingstone and Murray Greene disagreeing with Boyle. Both gentlemen said the U.S. was taking surplus power which Canada had no use for. Boyle maintained that the Americans should be charged a different rate.

Poor shocks contribute to tire wear. If your shocks are damaged, the balance "roll" of your tires is thrown out'of line. The re- sult is uneven and faster tire wear. Also, poor shocks can cause extra gas consumption, due to unnecessary body sway. Brakes too, will contribute to tire wear If they are worn or not properly adjusted.

That was some of the in- formation imparted by Bob Trotter, journalism co^ ordinator at Conestoga College, when he addressed a seminar for correspon- dents sponsored by the Bluewater Regional Newspaper Network in Clinton, Friday, Nine of the correspondents who serve the T-A were among the 80 in attendance at the event. Trotter also noted that the electronic media can't do the job as well as newspapers, saying that what news most people get from TV or radio in one day is equivalent to only half a page in their newspaper. He referred to rural correspondents as "one of the 'most important cogs in the newspaper machine." Trotter, who also writes a weekly farm column for 20 newspapers, said personal items in weeklies were well read. "The more you write about people, the more it will be read," he advised. The seminar was organized by Shirley Keller, editor of the Goderich Signal Stai, who termed correspondents the "life- line" of newspapers. "Be assured your work is appreciated by our newspapers and the people who live in your neck of the- woods," she advised. Barry Wenger, publisher of the Witighara Advance- Times, told the seminar that the writing ability of weekly newspaper reporters is "quite superior to what we find in. dailies," He said this was due in part to .the ex- cellent supply of trained journalists being turned out by community colleges, such as Conestoga, 'The Bluewater Regional Newspaper Network in.' wives_ weeklies in Huron, Perth and Bruce Counties. Bill Batten, president of the group, listed the member newspapers from Exeter., Zurich, St. Marys, Clinton! Goderich, Kincardine, Seaforth, Brussels, Blyth, Listowel, Mitchell, Lucknow and VVingham. Some veteran correspondents from each gave short addresses on their work. Mrs. Mary Rader, Dashwood, outlined couple of amusing incidents during her .27-year tenure as correspondent from that community, Other correspondents from the T,A who attended. the seminar were: Mrs. 49y Scheifele, Ailsa Craig; Mrs, Jean.
