Woman
tells of
Taiwan
Continued from page 21
Feb. 8 in St. Andrews, Stratford.
Jean Sangster introduced the
guest speaker Lillian Sparling who
spent two years in Taiwan where
she assisted English students. She
described the staple food there as
rice with some fish and pork but
very little beef. There are tea
plantations but tea is considered
more a man’s drink. She spoke of
meeting there with other workers
Joy Randall and Dr. Landsborough
and also expressed her thanks to all
who wrote her letters while she
lived there.
Helen Dunseith expressed
appreciation for her informative
pictures and description of her time
in Taiwan.
Evening vespers were based on
verses from 1st Corinthians with
readings from A basket of stones,
remind how each member is one of
the main group and a very needed
part.
A skit about the Jericho Wall was

Eunice Bissett.
A second skit was acted by
Madeline Edward and Eunice
Bissett.

Nov. bad month for deer
November was another bad month
for deer collisions in Huron County.
Motorists were involved in another
48 accidents involving deer in the
county bringing the total for the year
to 209. Most of the deer collisions
took place in the north section of the
county with some in the central zone
between Clinton and Seaforth.
The Huron OPP are asking
motorists to take special care during
the early morning hours just before
dawn and again during the
hours just after dusk when 90 per
cent of the collisions have been
occurring.
Remember when you see one deer
there are1 more since they usually
travel in groups. Areas where you
are most likely to come across them
are where bush comes up
close to the road on both sides,
swampy areas and low areas near
rivers.
North Huron Publishing Compa
ny Inc., publisher of The Citizen,
reported a loss of more than
$15,000 when shareholders of the
community-owned newspaper held
their annual meeting, Nov. 25 in
Bly th.
President Keith Roulston report
ed that all the company’s publica
tions suffered from declining
advertising revenues in the past
year. Advertising makes up 82 per
cent of the company’s income.
Hardest hit was The Citizen
which saw a drop of nearly five per
cent in advertising revenues. The
continuing loss of business to big
box out of town competitors by
main street merchants in Bly th and
Brussels is affecting the profitabili
ty of the newspaper, Roulston said.
The Rural Voice, the company’s
monthly farm magazine suffered a
small loss for the year much of it
due to the unexpected costs associ
ated with a subscription drive. The
magazine lost its second class
postal subsidy when the federal
government changed the qualifying
rules and was forced to restructure,
trying to get more subscription rev
enue to offset postal costs that
increased nearly 300 per cent.
The new Rural Voice subscribers
should help the company become
more profitable in the future, Roul
ston said.
The company’s tourism publica
tion, Stops Along the Way also saw
an advertising drop of 4.4 per cent.
The company’s loss represents a
severe drop from the company’s
$13,000 profit for the year earlier.
There were good accomplish
ments for the year. The company
re-equipped during the year with
state-of-the-art computer equip
ment which will slash production
costs in the future.
The current board of directors
including Sheila Richards and Rene
Richmond of Brussels and Diane
Radford and Jill and Keith Roul
ston of Blyth was returned for
another year.
Falling tree
strikes man
A Morris Twp. man was taken to
hospital after a tree-cutting accident
on Dec. 2.
Police said that Sid White, 48 of
Morris Twp. and his brother Brian
had been cutting trees in a bush on
Cone. 5. The former had just cut a
tree when it fell forward striking
another tree forcing it back into the
tree cutter. A large limb broke off
and was catapulted back striking
White in the upper body and
knocking him to the ground.
Brian White who had been
pulling logs out with a skidder saw
the accident and went to help.
The victim sustained a broken
collarbone and rib.
Police said the Ministry of
Labour has been called to assist in
the investigation.
