• Oh, those innovative min
I've been known to
praise Mr. .Fixit when he,
conies up with ka. brilliant.
solution to one of nhy few
hair -brained schemes. And
after spotting some innov-
ative product; I've been
known to sarcastically
, question, "Why didn't you -think Of
that?" I know, one contradicts the other,
'but I like to keep him on his toes:
When 1 ego home today, my first
conlment is not going to be the one of
praise. I've just discovered 'some smart
person has developed a supposedly
foolproof sanitary way to handle feline
litter! And I • know there are thousands
of cat lovers that will invest in one.
Now, instead of having to hold your
breath while dumping your cat's litter
box, 'you can eliminate the mess and
odor by "investing in the `LitterMaid'..
It does ,away with that scooping and
sifting,process. this new piece of ;corn-
, outer technology,ccoxmes complete with
an electric` eye, an 'automatic sifting
comb, and a sealed,,, air -tight disposable
waste; container.'
-As I read the promotional material, I
envision Jack approaching this` new
piece of equipment holding the littera

He gracefully enters the box, sniffs
around, does his thing, covers it upand
exits. The `electric eye, sensing the
feline has exited, signals the startup of
the automatic comb that sifts 'through
the litter anddisposes the offensive.
waste in an air. tight disposable waste
container.
Jack is standing there watching the
comb, he sees the clumps disappear.
The ears are back, the hair is raised on
his graceful body. What is happening?
He beats a path up the stairs searching
for his mistress. He jumps in my lap
and begs me`to do away with that, scary
machine, "P leas et I'm too old to
learn new tricks!"
Not to worry my little baby, for, $199

hold his breath and dispose of your lit
ter as, most commoners ,dot But I
wouldn't have'; minded if he was the
mastermind behind the innovation.

Dear editor:
We have a great public
education system in
Huron County, and we
are working hard to make
It better. In this time of
rapidchange, we are
ready for change. We
know that times are
tough and .that public
spending needs to be
brought under control.
We want to do our part
but, alone, a small juris-
diction like Huron
County Board of
Education is a voice in
the wilderness...
You have heard about
the report on school
board amalgamation..
There are several good
recommendations in that
report, but the most
important among. them
are the recommendations
for the reform of educa-
tion
ducestion finance, We 'must
have those funding
reforms if Huron County
students are going to get
their fair share of Ontario
tax dollars for, education.
We can live with the
call to reduce the number.
of trustees, and we have

Flu comes to town. - Last week thea was a rapid
spread of the flu tr grippe in town. The remark that
"half the town is down with, flu" fairly well describes
the situation, though, somewhat overstating the case.
