Mrs. Hazel Kinsman of Winnipeg is visiting with Mr. CRAFTS AT THE LIBRARY — Hensall librarian Velma Robinson has initiated a series of craft displays at the library, including Anne Klungel's embroidery work. Craft display at library attracts new customers 'Libraries are to be used' is the credo of Velma Robinson, Hensall's librarian for the past four -and -one-half years. The realization that many excellent craft books spent too much time on the shelves gave Velma an idea. Why not display the creations of area craftsmen in the library, thus promoting local talent and bringing into the library other than the regular book borrowers. Mrs. Robinson knew those who regularly borrowed the craft books, and took note of the names of people with en- tries in the craft section of the Hensall Spring Fair. From July 27 to July 30 Diane Gerstenkorn's silk and dried flower arrangements were prominently displayed amongst the books. The following week, library visitors could admire Anne Klungel's needlepoint pic- tures and pillows, and her petit point and crewel em- broidery tablecloths. • On August 10 Mrs. 011ie Cooper will bring in an assort- ment of knitted items suitable for gifts or bazaars. Brenda Russell's ceramics will be on show the following week, and the grand finale will be an ex- hibitionof paper toileing work by Helen 'f inney and Sharon Wurm.

Velma is not sure of specifics yet, but promises that something special will be scheduled for this fall. Last winter chess and crib- bage lessons were offered to interested young people. "It's amazing how quickly kids pick up the rules of chess," Velma remarked. The traditional silence of libraries was often broken as cribbage players pegged their points and skunked their part- ners. The counting increased the children's adding ability, leading one impressed math teacher to add cribbage play- ing to the school curriculum. The old-time library, all forbidding silence and dusty tomes, has gone forever, thanks in large part to the in- novative efforts of librarians like Velma Robinson.

Delegation attends Hensall council meeting Osborne wants to use dum too By Ron Wassink A delegation representing Usborne Township council at- tended the regular meeting of Hensall village council on Monday evening. The purpose was to discuss extended use of the Hensall waste disposal site. Reeve of Osborne, Murray Dawson explained to council that the Ministry of Environ- ment request their present dump site near Kirkton "be closed right away". At pre- sent, there are 53 households from Usborne using the Kirkton site. Although the ministry will close the site, they have informed the municipality they will "allow a 40 cubic yard container be placed at the site." He said cost of transporting and dumping the container at the Hensall dump would be $69 per week. Half of Usborne presently use the Hensall dump. Dawson said his township Hensall kids tour Zehrs Children participating in the activities at the Hensall playground received a guided tour of the Zehrs store in Ex- eter on Thursday. Accompanied by playground supervisor Patti Shapton, assistant Tracy Ducharme and parents Kay Gardner and Helene Ducharme, approximately 30 boys and girls were given a behind -the -scenes view of the meat and bakery department. No one stayed very long in the walk-in freezer. They gathered around the cutting block while Zehrs employee Jim McWhinney cut some steaks, and were intrigued with the rapid manoeuvers of the wrapping machine. Most of the children had watched their mothers bake pies and cakes, so the sight of doughnuts frying in large vats of hot fat claimed their atten- tion, as did the huge oven that was baking 1,200 rolls at the time. Zehrs executive Gary Bourke, who happened to be visiting from the chain's Cambridge headquarters, watched the proceedings with interest. ''We like to have people see how we put our products together", he .said. Tours by schoolchildren are encourag- ed in all 40 stores, as "these childreh will be our future customers". After assistant manager Tom Seip had ushered the last child_out the door with an ad- monishing "When you come back, say_ hello", he talked about the tours. In summer and fall, the Ex- eter store usually hosts an average of three every two weeks. Seip said many children from town had never seen a side of beef until they con- fronted one in the Zehrs meat department. He still chuckles at the recollection of two young male members of a kindergarten class who took one look at the hanging car- cass and immediately began pummelling it with their fists a la Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rocky. Answering the children's questions is relatively easy, Seip says. The tough ones come when the students in the food preparation course at Cet>tralia College of Agricultural Technology visit the store in September. NEW AXLES All Sizes t Weights ONE Ib.

We are opposed to it." Only household garbage would be placed in the con- tainer, no industrial waste, and would be transported to Hensall every Thursday by McLellan Disposal. Reeve Paul Neilands ex- plained the Hensall dump was only open Saturday. "You won't be bringing old car bodies and stumps, etc?" ask- ed the reeve. Dawson felt an alternative date could be arranged and assured council, "No, we have another location at Kirkton for the car bodies, etc." The engineering firm of Burns -Ross is preparing a survey of the Hensall dump. Councillor Cecil Pepper in- formed the delegation that once the survey is complete, "we can probably arrange something, but it will pro- bably cost more." Usborne councillor Gerry Prout said the use of a con- tainer would be ideal because 53 people wouldn't be driving to the Hensall dump. Reeve Dawson said, "The ministry recommend we take this route." "According to our engineer, our dump is good for another 30 years", ex- plained councillor Pepper. The use of the Hensall dump for Usborne "sounds logical to me", said Reeve Neilands. "We will discuss the matter with Burns Ross and you will hear from us." He said Tuckersmith township has also asked to use their dump but nothing has been finalized. Approve purchase Following a committee -of - the -whole meeting, Hensall council passed a bylaw to ap- prove purchase of lands by the Corporation for park purposes. Abutting Highway 4 and 84, the property in question has been discussed since April. Owned by John Reid, it is the former site of a garage and gas station. Purchased in conjunction with the Hensall Business Im- provement Plan for $6,000 plus all legal expenses, coun- cil granted Reid a right-of- way for a driveway into his property. Council received a reply from the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Hous- ing concerning an application for a Revitalization Program. The letter stated that a loan of $150,000 was approved in prin- ciple. Final approval will be given following the comple- tion of specified tasks by the municipality and subject to terms and conditions. In other business: council approved the purchase of 25 silver maple and 25 sugar. maple trees at a cost of $2.50 each. The trees will be sup- plied by Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. Council favoured the re- quest from Hensall Senior Citizens Home Inc. to build a 22 unit senior citizen housing project on lots 76, 77 and 78, Plan 1, subject to C.M.H.O. approval of the site. The reeve said, "If we weren't in favour, we would be against motherhood." Four building permits were approved to Queensway Nur- sing Home for renovations; Pearl Shaddick, new siding; Nancy McCullough, renova- tion of home; and Roger Cameron for addition to home. •nunuuunnnm The Light Touch By LAVENDER HELP YOURSELVES TO SOME DOUGHNUT HOLES — Tom Seip, assistant store manager at Zehr's, gives a group of children from the Hensall playground a behind - the -scenes look at the store's bakery.

Children should be warned to avoid stray pets, as well as wild animals, especially if they appear sick or friendly because these usually are signs that they are rabid. Pets should be regularly vaccinated, leashed, and kept indoors at night. You can help to control rabies by reporting to your local police, humane society or health unit any pets or wild animals which are acting strangely. Do not handle your pet with bare hands immedi- ately after it has fought with a rabid animal. Do not touch dead animals. Seek advice from a veterinarian. Contact your doctor or health unit immediately if your child or pet comes in contact with wild animals.
