The Kincardine detachment of the On- tario Provincial Police, report that sometime between October 20 and November 3, 1988, a break, enter and theft occurred at the Old University of Toronto property located on Lake Huron, at Baie Du Dor, in Bruce Township, north of Douglas Point. Unknown individuals entered a tool sh- ed, it is believed by removing the hinge screws. The door was then removed from the frame. Once inside the building the culprits removed a Robins, 3 or 5 horsepower air compressor. The com- pressor is 4 ft. by 2 '-z ft. hight and weighs between 600 and 800 pounds. More than one individual would have to have been involv- ed, due to the weight of the compressor. Also a large vehicle would have been re- quired. The compressor is valued at ap- proximately $4,000. Before leaving the building the culprits replaced the door, that had been removed. The culprits have not been identified as yet. If you feel you can help in this or any other case, Crime Stoppers is willing to pay a reward, up to $1,000, for information leading to an arrest.

There are stronger words I could use, but will refrain from putting them in print. Winter is a time of decline for me, men- tally, emotionally and physically. I HATE it: Cold weather, snow and wind are condi- tions that depress me. I become very grouchy. On miserable days b am likely to bite your head off if spoken too, In my job, it is not wise to be grouchy. Afterall, people doing business with you expect a cheerful "hello" on the phone and "Hi, how are you" when they are greeted at the counter. They really appreciate a smile. • A downturned mouth or a sullen voice does not make for good customer relationships. If I'm on a down mentally it stands to reason, emotionally, I'm not at my best. Being an emotional person, I cry very easily (I told you previously). Crying releases my tensions. I have found crying' to be: cheaper than breaking, dishes; easier on personal relationships than pick- ing a fight, and better for my health than all that pent up emotion heating to boiling point The problem with being a "crier" is you can't do it at work. Customers really don't understand why you have red eyes, a stuff- ed nose and black mascara running down your cheeks. You might get away with "I have a cold" to explain the eyes and nose, but what excuse can be offered for those black streaks on one's face. You don't real- ly want to say "I'm learning how to apply eye makeup" or "It's the new look". Peo- ple really aren't that naive. Criers really prefer to do so in private. A good boo hoo makes a crier feel much bet- ter, but you really have to put your heart and soul into it. I will never be described as a "lady like" crier, with beautiful tears cascading down into a hanky. Give me a full box of tissues, a private room and 15 minutes. And - please, no sympathy or I re- quire two boxes of tissues and 30 minutes AMBLINGS by Pat Livingston before I can compose myself. Do you know, how long it takes to repair the damage done to one's face after crying for 15 to 30 minutes? Before I got off on this "crying" tangent, I was about to tell you my woes on winter. The main element of winter that causes me distress is DRIVING. Why can't the snow come down lightly and stay put? Why do we, more often than nought, have strong winds, gusting to speeds which cause that white fallout to move around, form drifts and make my life miserable? Living ten miles out of Lucknow seems more like 100 miles some days during the winter. Thank God for Mr. Fixit who, over the years, has chauffeured me to town and back on many, many occasions. (Here's another attribute of Mr. Fixit I REALLY appreciate) He probably feels he is performing a life saving mission for the general public. He has seen the shape I am in after driving from Lucknow to the farm during a dirty day. Hands are glued to the steering wheel, my hair is standing on end and I am unable to move from the car. On days like this I do my crying in the carport. I know all the rules for safety in winter driving. I always drive defensively, but darn it how defensive can you be when you can't see what's coming at you. I imagine I could learn to "like" winter if the sky could be blue, the sun shining, it only snowed during the hours of 12 mid- night to 5:30 a.m., we had no winds and I lived in town. I wonder if I put the above on my list for Santa if he could co-operate and deliver. As the saying goes, "You haven't a hope in .... " for that wish. coming true.
