Ross receives a pair of tickets to see There's Nothing in the Paper, the Festival comedy about a small town news- paper which inspired the ' contest. Hank and Sam; two of the play's funniest characters who count mis- takes in their local news- paper, would be proud of the number and variety of goofs and gaffes received. Ross brought in a clip- ping containing a typo from a newspaper that was so infamous that three dif- < ferent people submitted the same on (Ross got it to us first). Even though it, once inadvertently appeared imprint, it cannot . be repeated here as most editors would not know- ingly re -print it. Let's just say that it was art: article about firemen trying to get dressed in a hurry,to get to a fire and .a certain item of clothing, namely socks, being tough to find. "Socks" was spelled wrong, with ,the first letter being replaced by another letter and you can guess which one. Besides Ross, there were four other contest prize winners; including . June Fothergill of Londesboro, • Dorothy Bassett of .Seaforth, Pat. Livingston, editor of the Lucknow Sentinel and Janet Baillie of Wingham. June's typo was from a news account that reported her mother was sick and a 'typo award under the doctor's "car" instead of the doctor's "care".(what a. difference dropping one letter in a word can make). Dorothy's mistake was taken from a newspaper ad which promised the cus- tomer's money back "it 100% satisfied," Pat's was from a classi- fied ad which mistakenly offered "chunks" (pigs) under the "For Hire" col- umn instead of "For Sale." o sell?.. ■t■�etr■■■ .ale `<f>.N.

Ontario men in a grain bin have prompted the;Farni Safety Association to issue a warning about the hazards of flowing grain. The indi- vidualshad entered the bin to break down bridged grain. They soon became engulfed in grain and were. unable to free themselves. • As • grain harvest begins, the Association' • wants to remind farmers and' workers that flowing grain can act much like "quicksand" and once, an individual is caughtup to his/her knees there can be no escape. One should not enter a grain' bin or wagon when grain is flowing. If': one. must enter a ,grain bin or wagon, basic entry procedures for con' - fined spaces must be fol- lowed: 1.
