Ws warble countdown time for Huron farmers
Cattle Shelild be treated
for warble before. December.
1. Warble continue to cause
economic loss to the cattle
industry in hide damage,.
meat trim loss, poor milk
production and low weight
gains,
Severe damage from
Warbles can be elimited with
the use of systemic. in-
secticides. Peer and dairy
herds, and feeder cattle
should all be treated to
control warbles.
Systetnics such as. Spetton,
Grubex, Neguvon and Co-
Hal are absorbed through
skating.
So you feel that you are not
included in any of the above?
How about joining the weight
watchers, the Opti-Mrs, the
Optimists, the Wednesday
night ladies bowling or the
Wednesday night shuf-
fleboard tournaments. There
could also be a place for you
in the organizing of the
annual Santa Claus parade
or as a coach or assistant, as
scorekeeper, equipment
manager, booth worker,
driver, or possibly you could
organize some kind of ac-
tivity in your own neigh-
borhood. Get active and keep
active. It's a long winter
ahead so don't waste it.
At the Club we are looking
at the prospect of putting on
some weekend dances with
the possibility of having live
bands brought in to entertain
you. These dances will be
open to the public, Response
by you will determine the
number and type of functions
we will bee elele to hold.
On the 25th of thiS month
there will be a meeting held,
at the club for the purpote of
installing new officers and
inducting new numbers.
There will be a dinner and
cocktails for members and
their guests followed by a
dance at 9 p.m. open to the
public.
If you have not already
purchased your Halloween
candies from a member of
the Optimists, you can still
be so by contacting Duff
Rothbauer at 228-6398. The
candies come in a large bag
(containing 50 individually
wrapped bags) of assorted
the animal's skin and kill the
grubs before they cause
extensive damage., Treat-
ment time can be a problem.
Cattle should be treated
prior to December 1st. If
feeder calves and yearlings
are Under severe stress on
arrival, wait until they are
types. Along with the candies
you receive two reflector
carrying bags for the kid-
dies.
The club will be holding an
oratorical contest, in con-
junction with the" schools in
Stephen Township again this
year. The winners will have
the opportunity to compete
with other boys and girls in
Ontario for a $600,00 prize.
We have some excellent
speakers in our area and I'm
sure. that they will give the
city kids a run for top honors.
For the past 11 years or
more Santa Claus has paid
our community a visit,
bringing candies and his
jolly old self to all the little
kids, Last year be evenfound
time to tour the village of
Centralia where he was
warmly received by not only
the juniors but the seniors as
well. The.planning for this
year's parade has just gotten
under way. It's possible that
the big fat man with the long
white beard might find room
in his busy schedule to ride
down the streets of Crediton
as well as our other com-
munities. More to come on
this as the day approaches.
On December 7, at 1 p.m.
at the annex there will be a
meeting for all parents to
discuss the possibility of
again running a teen town
for our kids, If you are in-
terested in helping your
teenagers improve their life
style, you will attend.
On November 7 at the
Arena there is going to be a
skite-a than to• raise money
for the winter free skating
program. Last year the club
paid out over $1200.00 for
free skating, but with
the numerous projects being
run this year we feel that we
cannot solely fund this
program. Your help will be
appreciated.
Ron Morrison is
organizing a committee to
look at the possibility of
running a road rally for the
teen drivers in the area.
Here is a chance for our
young drivers to test there
driving skills and to follow
the rules of the road. We
hope that some of them will
learn that there is more to
driving than just spinning
wheels and racing around
the streets.
If anyone of you is in-
terested in playing bad-
minton, Tony Jones is in the
process or organizing a night
a week. More to come on this
at a later date.
The next regular meeting
of the Optimist Club will be
held on November '2 at 10
a.m. at the Annex.
Make Fido a bag of cedar
shavings for a bed. He'll like
the comfort and the odor
will repel fleas.

Cold Weather Concreting
Fresh concrete and cold
weather don't mix. Although
most building projects are
well underway for,this year,
some will likely begin in the
coming weeks, This will
likely mean pouring con-
crete during periods of cold
weather.
Concrete may be safely
poured" throughout the
winter as long as certain
precautions are taken. Most
of the damage done...will be
during plading and early
curing. Concrete that is
allowed to freeze soon after
placing gains very little
strength and .some per-
manent damage is likely to
occur.-
Even if .the concrete is
thawed out immediately and
cured at higher tem-
peratures, the concrete
likely won't be as resistant to
weathering. Also it won't be
as watertight as concrete
that has not been frozen. The
concrete should have at least
7 days to cure when the
rninhintro air temperature in
contact with the concrete is
10 degrees celcius.
You should not pour
concrete on frozen ground.
The ground may not settle
evenly when it thaws. This
can cause cracks. Also. heat
is lost from the concrete,
slowing down its rate of
hardening.
There is no such thing as
an an anti-freeze for con-
Crete, so don't depend en

So you think there's
nothing for you and your
families to do in Huron Park
during the Fall and Winter?
Here are a few suggestions
to help you think differently.

Wednesdays, Scouts.
Biownies hold their
meetings on Thursdays at 6

at the school and is under the
supervision of adults:
At 9 a.m. at the annex on
Saturday mornings there is
free bowling for boys and
girls up to an including 12
years olds. Figure skating
classes are held at the 'same
time at the Stephen Town-
ship Arena. Following this at

Minor Hockey program

is still time.
The Army Cadets hold
their parades at the Rec.
Center on Thursday
evenings. Every Tuesday
from 4 until 8 p.m. at the

4, at the arena families are
invited to enjoy public
