LET’S LANDSCAPE The first meeting for the Cran- brook 4-H club was held at Yvonne Knight’s home on May 15. When the members arrived at Knights house they busied them­ selves at digging up flower beds at Yvonne’s place and adding peat moss in the beds. Yvonne then gave them a tour of her yard and gave out samples of shrubs and bushes to plant in flower beds at their house. Members toured her whole yard and then went into the house and watched a video from Canada AM about arranging flowers in flower beds. They then opened the meet­ ing with the 4H pledge. They elected their officers: president, Gerald Knight; vice-president, Jennifer Vanass. The treasurer hasn't been elected yet. The lead­ ers are Yvonne Knight and Freda Crawford. Youth leader is Jean Locking. Jean Locking read through the pamphlets with the members. Yvonne later informed members that the Cranbrook W.I. is going to the Goderich Museum and mem­ bers were invited. They will tour the museum, go out for supper and then go to the Goderich nursery for a tour. BY LISA BOONSTOPPEL Angry farmers’ and landowners’ complaints have urged Hullett Council to take a stand on the closed CP railway line at their regular meeting on May 16. With conflicting views, council members found it hard pressed to find a suitable decision. A recurr­ ing theme, however, was that the railway line stay there to be retained as a corridor for the possibility of future use. “If it’s already there it may save millions if it’s needed,’’ said Ken Anderson. Councillors also decided that they had no problems if the landowners wanted to farm or reforest the land as long as the land wasn’t deeded back to the farmer. Another council concern was for the identity of municipality coun­ cils. A recent proposal to reform county government is worrying Hullett because smaller communi­ ties may lose their representation. The report recommends that coun­ ty councils have a maximum of 20 representatives and that a mini­ mum population of 4000 be set for Take it easy on your air conditioner The easier you can make your air conditioner’s job, the easier it will be on your budget. There are many ways you can help ease its load. Below are a few examples. You’ll undoubtedly develop some of your own. •use your micro-wave as much as possible - a micro-wave oven cooks without heat, and it cooks almost everything. If you have one use it as often as you can during hot weather, rather than your range and oven. These create heat which your air conditioner must handle. •schedule use of appliances and lights - these all give off heat. The less you use them during the heat of the day, the less work your air conditioner will have to do to keep your home cool. Plan washing, drying, and ironing for early morn­ ing or evening.' Turn lights off when they’re not needed. •attic vent fan - on hot, sunny days heat builds up in your attic at a furious rate. This makes it difficult for your air conditioner to cool living space. An attic fan, blowing the hot air out, can reduce attic temperature as much as 20°C (36°F).

Store combustible liquids safely Combustible liquids form vapours and, given the right circumstances, can self-ignite. A rag soaked in paint thinner, lemon oil, wax or such, may smolder and burst into flames all by itself. This is called “spontaneous combustion." Flammable liquids such as gaso­ line, kerosene, acetones, adhesives and paint thinners must be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas. Gasoline must be kept in tightly-capped containers which are approved for gasoline storage, and should never be kept in the home. It goes without saying, but never smoke near a combustible liquid.
