Institutes held in the Meaford - St.
Vincent Community Centre.

and visitors and Helen Weirmeir of
Elmwood, the secretary, reported on
WI activities.
Federated Womens Institute of
Ontario president, Margaret Eberle
from Highgate in Kent County,

plans for workshops in drama and
photography in April, the leadership
convention to be held in Geneva
Park in August and the FWIC Con-
vention in Truro, N.S. in June,
1994.

committee reported on regulations
for the competition and $100 was
donated by Grey -Bruce. A song
writing competition is also being
'held for WI members. Grey -Bruce

A new director of development
has been appointed to help FWIO
complete its funding program for

A resolution presented by con-
vener Gladys Coxon, sent in from

It requested FWIO to lobby Ontario
ministries Of labor and education to
review the education system and
revise the educational objectives to
reflect today's need for com-
munication skills, technological and
scientific development. This would
include more communication and
technical skills retraining for the

theme Ms. Hull -Clark encouraged'

front without fearing what others
think. Power is an illusion as long
as others think you possess it so
have the courage to stand up for
your convictions. Change is
inevitable bui groups such as WI
help changes for the better because
members can think and act in one
voice. It is our responsibility to
follow through when we speak out
on an issue. the sneaker said.

Landfill board talks about
surge suppressor, cardboard
by David Scott
There were concerns raised about
how to protect the weigh scales at
the Mid -Huron Landfill Site during
electrical storms, at last Thursday's
Site Board meeting in Holmesville.
Frank Postill, Site Supervisor,
reported that a surge suppressor can
be put in "but it's not foolproof."
The cost to put in the suppressor
would be $320 if the Site wanted to
take the chance of operating the
scales during an electrical storm.
The scale company said they can't
give a guarantee against damage
from lightning, said Postill.
Lynda Rotteau'from the Town of
Goderich asked the Site Supervisor
if the scales had been struck by
lightning before. Frank Postill said
they ,had been struck in the sum-
mer. "The scales are a bad
thing...they're a long bed of steel
that attracts lightning." Postill men-
tioned that there is normal lightning
protection in place at the site
including lightning rods.
Bill Teall of the Town of Seaforth
asked what the operating policy was
for the site during a lightning
storm. Although the topic was
discussed at the previous meeting, a
definite policy wasn't adopted.
Instead of taking a chance with the
$325 surge suppressor that isn't
guarantee to prevent damage, Bill
Carnochan of Tuckersmith
Township suggested, "Why not just
pull the plug (on the scales during
a storm)? Why blow up a $30,000
scale?"
The Mid -Huron Landfill Site
Board also discussed cardboard
recycling and, the most economical
way of storing and hauling it. The
site currently has a bin for
recyclable cardboard.

Her estimates were more
accurate than government's
•froni page 4
Canadian . Wheat Board took over
the marketing of grain in 1933, it
announced -that Hind's total of 29
estimates had reflected more ac-
curate forecasting than . any
government or other official
statements.
Hind's love of agriculture was not
limited to wheat. She championed
Western beef and dairy cattle and
served as a director of the Canadian
Co -Operative Wool Growers. As a
livestock judge and as a speaker she
cut a dashing figure wearing her
beaded buckskin jacket and odd
assortment of hats.
Cora Hind received many honors
throughout her career, including a
Doctor of Laws degree from the
University of Manitoba. • She
travelled the world, wrote two
books about her adventures and
spent 41 years as a reporter.
In 1932, 71 -year-old Hind
realized a life-long dreim when she
accompanied the first cargo of
Canadian wheat from Churchill,
Manitoba to G eat Britain. "Such a
woman is not met every day,"
remarked the London Morning Post.
