The grades seven and eights found they could get 15 students in to the Mercyry Topoz, whereas the grades five and six packed as many as 22 into the same space. Principal Dave Kemp regretted not being able to find a • Volkswagen Beetle for the occasion, but thought he might be setting o new trend with the 'Topaz tonne'. sal and district news Susan Hartman 262-2449 Kippen4-H meet By Margaret Iloggarth The fourth meeting of Kippen 3 - 4-11 club was held at Brucefield United Church on Tuesday October 6.

Water still A weekend report about bottled water still being recommended for in- fants in Hensall as published in the London Free Press is inaccurate. Saul Essop appeared before coun- cil last week to confirm nitrate levels in Hensall water were within safe limits, but was misquoted by the Free Press to the effect that Hensall water still posed a danger to youngsters. "They never asked me what the present levels were," said Essop who claimed he only explained the dangers of high levels of nitrates and did not imply that Hensall hhd a problem. Ed Harrison of the Huron County Health Unit confirmed that present nitrate levels in one Hensall well are safe within the ministry of the environ- ment's standard. "The water has been 9.8, 9.7, which is under the 101 miligrams per litre)," said Harrisen and confirmed the water continues to be monitored and residents will be notified immediate- ly should the situation change for the worse. "You've got to be kidding," said village clerk -treasurer Elizabeth Oke when informed of the discrepancy between the council presentation and the Free Press report. She said the whole point of the report to council was to allay public concerns about water quality and hopes no one will be alarmed by the error. Three The regular meeting of the Three Links Seniors was opened with past president Hilda Payne presiding for the opening excerises. 0 Canada was sung with Vera Ross at the piano followed by all repeating The Lord's Prayer.

Eileen Rannie then conducted the installa- tion of officers as follows: president - Evelyn Flynn, secretary - Hilda Payne, treasurer - Dorothy Brintnell, and card convener - Gertie Moir. Evelyn Flynn then took the chair to preside over the rest of the meeting. Seventeen members and three visitors answered the roll. Cor- respondence was read, cards of ap- preciation from Anita Bengough and from the family of Myrtle Sherritt. Hilda mentioned that she had receiv- ed one also from Clarence Volland but had left it at home. The Fall Rally was held on Wednes- day October 14 with six local members attending and our president bringing home a prize. A notice of an upcoming workship, New Direction, in Huronview's auditorium to be held on November 12 was tabled until the next meeting. Six cards were sent last month.
