sure sign of spring
The Talk of the Town
One of the projects students in school
always have had to do is to write an essay
on the "Signs of Spring". This past week
has certainly shown evidence of several
different indications with the snow disap-
pearing, the birds returning, the daylight
hours getting longer, the snowdrops and
crocus blooming, and for anyone living
near a pond - the chorus of the frogs
trilling.
Another symptom is the return of some
of our residents from winter havens.
Bob and . Isabelle MacKenzie have
returned from Cape Coral, Bob and Ina
Famish from below Tampa, Lloyd and
Helen Hall and Oliver and Lenore Glenn
from Lakeland. They all report having had
a good winter in Florida although the
weather was cooler than some years.
Ian and Jean Montgomery, Kevin and
Barb Murray, and Bruce and Barb Willits
spent last week touring on a houseboat out
of De Land, Florida. They arrived home
late Sunday night after driving through
severe thunderstorms in Ohio, and they
heard later a tornado had gone through
about an hour after.
Jennie Porteous has returned home
after spending ten days with her daughter
Mary Bell at Sarnia.
Another sign of spring is the making of
maple syrup. Rev. Bill Henderson tapped
several trees around his house and Sat.
while boiling the sap he had the misfor-
tunate of spilling the kettle, scalding his
one foot.
Special Good Friday and Easter Ser-
vices were held in all the churches on the
weekend commemorating the Resurrec-
tion of Jesus Christ.
In the Presbyterian Church Fri. morn-
ing the South Kinloss congregation joined
with Lucknow in a combined service.
Readings were given by Kathy Hamilton,
By Mildred Loree
Colleen Conley, Jean McWhinney, Mae
Raynard, Joanne de Boer, Dale and Dan
Gilchrist, Donald de Boer, Jonathan
Nelson, Chris Colwell, and David Mac-
Dougall. Special music was presented by
both choirs.
In the Sunday morning service Mr. and
Mrs. Stuart Jamieson were received into
membership by transfer from Wiarton.
In the United Church the choir presented
some of the numbers from the contata
"Then Came Sunday". In the afternoon
Rev. and Mrs. McFarlane conducted the
Easter Communion Service at Pinecrest
Manor for the residents.

Bitters off shelves
Consumer Minister William Wrye today
announced that as of April 1, 1988, all
alcoholic stomach bitters must be remov-
ed from sale in Ontario retail stores. Their
sale will be restricted after that date to li-
quor stores operated by the Liquor Control
Board of Ontario.
Mr. Wyre said that the government's
decision to ban the sale of small bottles of
beverage bitters from unregulated retail
stores reflected the increasing social con-
cerns of the community, particularly in
light of similar recommendations from re-
cent coroners' inquests. Full-size bottles of
alcoholic bitters have always been
restricted to LCBO stores.
"Bitters contain approximately 40 -per-
cent alcohol, and in the last few years have
become the affordable drink of choice for
some people," said Mr. Wyre. "To
counteract this problem, the ministry is
revoking the regulation under the Liquor
Licence Act that allows small bottles 14 -oz
or less) of beverage bitters to be sold out-

side the LCBO." Angostura bitters, a non -
beverage bitters sold for the purpose of
flavoring, is exempt.
"Although the sale of bitters will be
maintained in a more controlled environ-
ment, we are not suggesting that this ac-
tion will entirely resolve the social pro-
blem of extreme alcohol abuse," said Mr.
Wyre. "Bitters has become one of the ma-
jor sources of cheap and available liquor
for some people, yet the real problem re-
mains alcohol abuse, not stomach bitters."
The Ministry is communicating directly
with manufacturers, distributors and
retailers in the core of Toronto, to alert
them to the April 1st deadline.
The LCBO sale price for bitters,
although slightly higher than that found in
convenience stores, is consistent with the
markup policy for similar alcoholic pro-
ducts, such as liqueurs. The price includes
the markups by the LCBO, federal excise
tax and provincial sales taxes applying to
alcoholic beverages.
