HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Wingham Advance-Times, 1966-06-23, Page 7THE CAR BUYER'S PROBLEMS Keith McClure It was recently estimated the average motorist spends $26 per week on his oar. This includes the financed purchase price, annual depreciation, insurance, licence, and of course, oil and gas, The fact this represents more money than some families spend on ,their homes indicates how important the automo- bile has become to all of us. Its importance has made the car industry the largest single business in the country by far. It is possible for the average motorist to get 'More value out of his motoring dollar than he now does? We think so. So we're planning to devote this space each week to some!, plain talk about the automobile industry. How can a Wingham motorist deal most wisely who is trading in his old car an a new one? Or make the even more difficult decision of what used car to buy? And how can he get the most performance satisfaction out of the car he now has? This industry is changing rapidly, even for our changing world. Being on the inside looking out we'd like to share some of our knowledge of this business with you. We're sure a lot of light can be shed on a problem by discussing it impartially. Marketing studies show 65 percent of buyers are looking for useful information before buying their car. We hope you'll find at least some of what we have to say fills this need as well as proving interesting. See you next Thursday. Pearson, Edwards & co. Chartered Accountants P. R.

Gordon Jackson, Auctioneer, Listowel, Ont. 23b For Sale HURON COUNTY HOME BY R. S. ATKEY GODERICH—Orval M. Jant- zi, Zurich, has been appointed assistant superintendent of Hur- onview, the Huron County Home at Clinton, it was report- ed by the board of manage- ment, Reeve Ernest Snell, East Wawanosh, chairman, to Hur- on County Council. Mr. Jantzi was introduced to County Council by Harvey C. Johnston, superintendent of Hur- onview, who spoke in glowing terms of the new appointee. Mr. Jantzi said he was happy to accept the challenge presented, and felt that his previous ex- perience and qualifications should be of value in filling the position. The superintendent informed Council that there are 231 guests at Huronview at the pre- sent time, made up of 97 male and 134 female. Youngest per- son is 37 years of age and old- est is 93, with an average age of 80.4 years. Reeve Snell reported: "The Board felt the advisability of engaging an assistant superin- tendent should be considered. We realized Mr. Johnston has a heavy load to carry and this BY R. S. ATKEY GODERICH—Huron County officially remains within the Emergency Measures Organiza- tion but County Council will consider the matter again at the September Session. After receiving a report of a special committee headed by Deputy Reeve Elmer Hayter, Stanley, and hearing a verbal report of Stuart Forbes, county EMO co-ordinator, Council discussed the matter in com- mittee with Reeve R. R. Jew- ell, Goderich, in the chair,and then adopted the following re- solution by a vote of 23-12. Cook-Dalton -- That Huron County Council give consider- ation to withdrawing from the Emergency Measures Organiza- tion; and further, that thismat- ter be referred to Emergency Measures Committee of County Council, (Deputy Reeve Geo. Wonch, Clinton, chairman) with a full report to be present- ed at the September Session of Council. Keith McClure, well-known Wingham auto dealer, is run- ning a weekly article of inter- est to motorists, in the Ad- vance-Times, commencing this week. The articles will discuss safety, car care, service and marketing problems confronting motorists in our very car-con- scious society. Funeral for Jas. B. Dickson BELMORE—A number of friends and relatives from this area attended funeral services held In Rolufs' funeral chapel, Clifford, on Tuesday afternoon of last week, for James B. Dickson, who passed away sud- denly the Sunday previous. Rev. Gordon Fish of Wingham of- ficiated. Pallbearers were Leonard Metcalfe, Harry Metcalfe, Thomas Inglis, Alan Darling, Bruce Harkness and Wallace Pomeroy. Floral tributes were carried by Thomas and James will increase with the new wing in operation. Furthermore, Mr. Johnston is nearing retirement age and we felt this would be an opportune time to consider such a move. "Subject to the approval of the Department of Public Wel- fare, we have engaged Orval M. Jantzi, Zurich, to be assist- ant superintendent, commenc- ing as soon as possible, at a salary of $5, 000 per annum. With Mr. Jantzi's qualifications we feel he will be well-suited to the job and he has been so employed on a six months' pro- bationary period." "We are proceeding with the new building," the chairman continued, "and the contractor is reasonably close to schedule. We have ordered certain equip- ment for the kitchen, and also we are in process of arranging for renovations in the kitchen area." The committee recommend- ed that a bylaw be passed es- tablishing maintenance rate for residents at $142 per month or $4.65 per day, effective April 1, 1966. This bylaw was pass- ed before the June Session came to a close. The report and various speakers who followed, includ- ing Reeve Duff Thompson and Deputy Reeve George Wonch, Clinton, stressed the apparent apathy of the general public to the EMO programme. This problem exists not only in Hur- on County but in many areas. That did not make it any less necessary. "The programme is not without its faults. It meets re- sistance in some sources. The County is not obliged to be in the Emergency Measures pro- gramme if it deems it advis- , able to withdraw. The provin- cial authorities stress the im- portance of protecting the gen- eral public even though the public may be very reluctant to accept the programme. "In order that we may re- ceive full subsidy for the pro-' gramme we must adhere to the rules and regulations as set forth by Federal and Provincial authorities." Darling, Elmer Jeffray, and John Rutherford. Interment was in McIntosh Cemetery. Karl Krumland LAKELET — The sympathy of this community goes out to the family of the late Karl Krum- land who passed away early Saturday, June 18th, as the re- sult of a motor accident. He leaves to mourn his widow, and one son, Kurt, of Ajax, also three grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Krumland purchased the Lakelet school and converted it to a comfort- able residence about two years ago. No Action on North End Sewer Mayor Miller called a spe- cial council meeting Saturday morning to consider whether or not a sewer line should be in- stalled on the Josephine Street hill, north of the new Hanna Memorial Bridge. It was explained that the sewer would be of no value un- less it was followed up by a river crossing and pumping sta- tion, which are part of an en- gineering plan presented to council last year by Burns Ross, consulting engineer, However, the matter was considered because the road is at present torn up and the short line could be placed now and thus save tearing up the new pavement at some future date. Estimated cost was over $7, - 500, but when Councillor Wil- liams pointed out the line would be useless until another $15,000 was spent on the pump and trunk line, council side- tracked the issue. There is a petition for sew- ers before council from rate- payers on the north side of the river, but most councillors were of the opinion that rising costs may well make it im- practical for sewers to be in- stalled. It was also pointed out that the town's financial situation is such that it will not be possible to get into any further capital expenditures for another seven or eight years, when outstand- ing debentures will be paid off. Hold Christian Fellowship at Summer School About 60 United Church adult leaders attended the fifth Dynamic Christian Fellowship held at the Goderich Summer School on June 11 when the new study book, The Church and the World, was the topic. Rev. Arthur Higginbotham, president of Hurpn Presbyterial was the leader. The group broke into small discussion groups and later assembled for a panel led by Rev. J. D. Mac- Donald of Goderich, concern- ing science, faith and Christian witness in the community. Rev. Hope Jackson of Bel- grave led two discussions, the rural church and vandalism in the community. A box lunch was enjoyed in the new dining hall with the la- dies of Victoria Street Church in charge. It was agreed that next year representatives of the United Church Women, the United Church Men and Huron Presby- terial would be asked to plan the day. A school for leaders ofyouth groups will be held August 15- 19 at Alma College and for women of the United Church August 22-25. August 24 will be open to women who wish to attend for one day only. MAPLE SYRUP AND RICE KRISPIES Ontario's highly prized maple syrup can be artfully us- ed with Rice Krispies and whip- ped cream to provide a delight- ful dessert. Pour one-half cup maple syrup over three cups Rice Krispies and allow to stand 15 minutes. Fold in one cup whipped cream. Serve piled in sherbet glasses as soon as pos- sible. Diced fruits of any kind may be added. Summer Care of Roses BY A, R. BUCKLEY Once roses are planted and pruned, many amateur garden- ers think this is all they have to do. This is a fallacy; summer care of roses is as important as the selection and planting of the bushes. Good-quality blooms de- mand regular applications of the right kind of fertilizer. The best way for the average gar- dener to fertilize is to use one of the mixed rose feeds, If you want a specific formula, 5-10- 5 is recommended. Apply one heaping teaspoonful per plant to the soil surface around the base of the bush and about six to eight inches from the stem. Rake the fertilizer in lightly. Follow with a thorough water- ing so that the fertilizer will soak into the soil. Make your first application when the shoots are four inches long, a second when the first flowers appear, and a third in mid-July or later when the first big blooming period is passing. Adequate moisture is neces- sary to ensure even and steady growth, especially during the hot summer months. Water every 10 days if the rainfall is not sufficient to soak the soil to a depth of 10 inches. Remove the nozzle from the hose and place the end of a shingle or piece of board so as to allow the stream of water to flow gdntly into the soil until it be- comes thoroughly soaked. Stan- dard lawn sprinklers are not re- commended for they wet the foliage and so encourage dis- ease. Mulch is desirable in early summer to conserve soil moist- ure and prevent water from splashing on the leaves. A mulch also helps keep the roots cool and the soil temperature down. Peat moss is excellent. It is attractive and it improves the soil when it is worked in later. Soak peat moss well be- fore using it; if applied dry it will absorb water from the soil and prevent moisture from reaching the plants. Later, when it disintegrates into the soil, a further light application will be necessary. Use a commercially prepar- ed all-purpose rose spray or dust in the spring when the first leaf buds form. Continue every week until the heat of the sum- mer and then reduce the ap- plication to 10-day intervals and after every rain. Spray or dust both sides of the leaves either in the morning, late af- ternoon or evening, but never during the hottest part of the day. Keep a good look out at all times for sucker shoots that come from under the bud union which is usually buried at the base of the plant. The old idea that leaves with seven leaflets indicate suckers is of no signifi- cance, All modern hybrid tea roses produce leaves of seven leaflets as well as five if they are growing vigorously. Watch for shoots from below ground level. Some of the good flow- ering shoots will arise just at ground level. To locate suck- ers follow the shoot right down to the stem; if it is below the point of union with the stock, it is a sucker, which, if not re- moved promptly will overgrow and eventually kill the original rose. At all times make sure the old flowers are cut off and the petals carted away. Nothing Wingham Advance-Times, Th spreads disease more than an untidy rose garden, To cut fresh flowers use a sharp clipper or knife and make the cut diagonal. Cut stems about a quarter of an inch abov a leaf, leaving at least two well-developed leaves on the branch between the cut and the point where the branch joins the cane. To prolong the life of cut roses place them in water of bath temperature immedi- ately after cutting. A good white or cream sauce made from Ontario's milk is basic in all good cooking. With its smooth texture and mild flavor, it can be used for many dishes. Food specialists at Macdonald Institute, University of Guelph, warn that its con- sistency - thin, medium, thick or very thick - determines its use. ursdah June 23, 1,966 Page 7 DON'T DECEIVE CHILDREN WHO MUST BE HOSPITALIZED When a child must enter hospital he should be prepared for the event. lie should not be told that everything is going to be fun, and that he'll be there only a day or so if it will real- ly be a longer period, Or that there will be no pain, if that is not true. Tell him that any pain he may feel now is to save him from more pain later on, and this treatment is to help him get better. Deceiving him won't increase his faith in his family, his doctor or the hospi- tal personnel, all of whom are working to help him to get bet- ter. Remember, cook meat slow- ly at moderate temperatures. Too high temperatures and too fast cooking result in undue shrinkage and loss of juiciness. 44 ;0 lb RETREAT PROPERTIES — We have several good buys in country homes of brick or frame constructoon with 'high- * • way location or hideaway re- treat.
