"I only mention it to make people beccome wise to window dressing like that," The two Crediton. incidents oc- curred during the month of July this year, Miss Heist was contacted on. July 12 by Abbott and James Kelly who wanted to sand-blast her home as an advertisement for their work, telling her they had done similar jobs on the parliament buildings and St. -To- seoh's Hospital, London. Miss Feist agreed to the sand-blast- ing and to having cracks in .the mortar repaired, and paid $400 down on the work. • Another member of the firm went un on the slate roof, re- ported it was in poor shape and would cost considerable money to r epair, They suggested re- placing the slate with asphalt shingles but Miss Heist finally aereed to aluminum roofing which was supposed to be guar- anteed for 15 years.

When she complained of this, Abbott and Kelly convinced her that it had to be done. Be- sides, it would now cost more to tear it all out.

The mayor, who revealed lie had a long conference with Dr. A. E. Berry in London re- cently, confirmed earlier reports that the commission had not pressed an overall treatment program because the town could not efford one. However, Dr. Berry agreed that a partial system may be practical and intends to assign an engineer to the project soon. The mayor said he suggested that the flow from William St. storm sewer be pumped into a la o0on the south side of the river, He felt two lagoons could be established on the south side and a large overflow reservoir west of the tracks to handle. treatment as mom eections of the town are joined to the system, Exeter council Continued from page 1 this winter instead of calcium The nubile works crew was in- structet to haul one truckload from Godericli for experimental use, The salt is one-third cheaper Best to leave skunks alone Nobody need be reminded that the best thing to do with skunks is leave them alone. But if skunks around your home or garden are causing annoyance, officials of the Ontario Lands and Forests department can tell you the best way to get rid of them. The malodorous skunk has a sweet tooth for eggs, and eggs can be used as bait to trap them — provided the egg is broken, Place the egg bait in a box trap or a steel trap and the unwary skunk will usually fall for the lure. Says a department official: "If. a steel trap is used, where there are no neighbour's pets to get into it, the chain should be attached to a ten-foot pole,, so that the skunk may be drawn gently out of the hole and lifted off the ground." What to do then with the lethal animal? "He may then be car- ried to water and drowned," the official explains, "or lowered. carefullyinto an open sack, after which the trap may be freed. "Once in the sack, the skunk may be disposed of as wished. This treatment should produce no smell, or if it does, it should be all in the sack, Live traps should have a slide door, per- mitting' the skunk to be released or shaken out into a sack for later disposal. A sacked skunk may be drowned in a pail, or carried far away and released." "Live-trapped skunks may also be gassed in the trap. Place the trap in a larger box and use Automobile exhaust fumes," What should you do if the skunk gets in a parting . shot with his built-in atomizer? Use tomato juice to wash. off the. of- fensive skunk musk — it's the nearest thing to an antidote you're ever likely to find. But the official emphasizes that skunks are best, left alone, "Sometimes," lie says, "they develop a liking for ears of corn and have to be controlled. But around suburban gardens they do no harm and create no nuisance unless the family dog puts them on the defensive. On the contrary, they destroy large numbers of cut worms, white grubs and the larva of many other insect, pests." appeared. The .men came the next day and the eaves were painted.
