The Daryl Sittlers', Reggie Leitchs' Gary Doaks' Wayne Cashmans and Tiger" Williams' were fighting hard against the 6' to 10 year old Novice team, who emerged the victors after 3 exciting" innings of play. Goal scorers, John Wooden (1), Rusty Brandon (1) , and Davey Telford (3), hung on hard as Cathy Wooden slipped one by to score in the second period of play and in the final few seconds of the game, Kathleen Siertsema, the Eddy Shack of hockey fame, cracked a lively one into the "mobile" net.

Mrs. Leona McKellar, London, visited recently with her daughter, Mrs. Ted Dunn, Ted and family. We are pleased to report that at present, Mrs. Pon Bick of Hensall, formerly of Bayfield; is showing some improvement.She - is out of intensive care. Her many friends here are thinking of her and extending best wishes for continued improvement. The 3M's group . of St. Andrews United Church met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cox on Wednesday evening for a social time. The . kitchen in the basement of St. Andrews United Church has taken on a new look after some renovations and installation of new cupboards. The ladies of the church, who work in the kitchen on many - occasions are very happy with the alterations. No doubt some of the men who have oc- casionally taken on the task of� putting on a supper at the church will also find the kitchen a more convenient and pleasant place to work in. The weather seems a popular subject for discussion lately, many •.complaining, about snowdrifts and cold winds. When some of our school children received a couple of days holidays from school recently an account of storms, they thought it was an ill wind that didn't blow .somebody good. Miss Julia Armstrong of Hamilton and James Arm- strong of Ridgetown spent the weekend with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.D. Arm- strong. Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Lynn of Etobicoke spent a few days recently at their home on the River Terrace. Mr.. Irvine- Pease, London was at his home here on the weekend. Mrs. Walker of W ingha m visited on the weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ken Brandon and family. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Baker were at the home of Mr. and Mrs. -Jack Coleman, Zurich, on Sunday, where they helped to celebrate Mr. Coleman's birthday.

Hallett Happenings Holidays Hullett Central had an absence of school from Monday, January tenth to Wednesday the twelfth and again .Monday the seven- teenth due to poor weather' conditions. The pupils enjoyed the time -off and have indicated that they will work extra hard to catch up on the work missed. Seat belt Safety Film On Friday, January 14th, Police Constable Wilson from the O.P.P. showed a film on seatbelt safety. It showed the results of head on collisions at thirty miles per hour with people wearing seatbelts and people who were not. In the cars were dummies the same size and weight of an average, person. So next time you're out for a drive, be sure to "buckle up," your life may depend on it. Baby-sitting - seminar The baby sitting seminar at Hullett Central School was held at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, January 14th. Parents and pupils from grades six, seven and.. eight were invited to attend.

Y h CLINTQN NEWS -RECORD, Ti f,TRSDAX, JANTJA Y * In contrast to the hectic summer pace, the harbor at Bayfield is nearly totally silent since it froze over nearly six weeks ago, and is now covered in nearly two feet of ice. sk Conservation officials are' already worried that the heavy . ice, and huge snow accumulation could cause ice jams, and flooding, should a sudden thaw come: (News Record photo) Study shows Huron ozone Ormrod, of the department of Horticultural Science at the University of Guelph, has released the findings of a test program conducted last summer to determine the degree of ozone damage which can be ex- pected to be sustained to crops in Huron County. According to Mr. Ormrod, sensitive crops such as white bean, snap bean, radish, sweet corn, potato, soybean and onion "would-be expected to be injured by ozone episodes". "There is little doubt," the report notes, "that ozone concentrations in Huron County are quite frequently higher than the threshold for crop plant damage." ' Last summer's program was carried out using tobacco plants as the test case. Seed of four tobacco cultivars, varying widely in ozone sensitivity, were sown in flats in n a grow_ th chamber at Guelph. t Seedlings. were tran- splanted first to 10 -cm pots. The cultivars used were Bel - W3 (super -sensitive to ozone), Bel -05 (sensitive to ozone), Bel -BT (intermediate 4ensitivity to ozone), and Delhi 34 (relatively tolerant of ozone). Three plants of each cultivar were planted at e ch ,of six., sites in or near {.' uron County, on June 16, 1976. ' Ozone concentration was monitored at Kippen, by the Ridgetown College or - Agricultural Technology, using a Mast ozone -meter arid' recorder, from - June 3 to September 12, 1976. The record chart was used to determine daily high and low ozone concentrations. A number of ozone episodes occurred during the recor- ding period. There were 37 days with an ozone peak concentration of 8.0 pphm or higher. The principal episodes occurred in June, early July and late August. The period from July 27 to August 19 had low ozone levels except for August 3 and 4. The ozone analyzer records indicate that ozone injury to sensitive species would likely occur several times during the growing season in Huron County, four on July 29 or Aug. 11. Bel -BT was injured only at -sites one to three but generally not at sites four to six. The tolerant Delhi 34 had slight injury on July 14 and 29 at site. The substantial leaf injury' on June 30 was probably the result of elevated at- mospheric ozone con - 44> centrations which continued daily from June 23 to 30: The lower injury on- Bel W-3 at all sites on July 14 compared to June 30 was associated with generally much lower ozone levels during the previous 10 days. Many of the injured leaves present on June 30 would be dead or abscised by July 14 and would thus not be included in, the damage estimate. Similarly leaf in- jury on July 29 and August 11 was ,less than on June 30 as was ozone concentration during theprevious 10 days. • Tobacco plants were ef- fective monitors of ozone concentrations• at six sites in Huron County in 1976. Leaf injury on sensitive cultivars was consistent with ozone concentrations obtained by an instrumental method. Based on the response of Bel - W3 tobacco, ozone levels were considerable, from time to time and rather uniform, throughout the country. However, the less sensitive cultivar Bel -05 had------m-ore injuryinjury at some sites than at others. Such differential injury responses may in- dicate a stronger interaction of microclimate at a par- ticular site with ozone - induced leaf injury in this cultivar. Ozone con- centrations were not suf- ficient to injure substantially the more tolerant tobacco cultivars. • The test plants were set out on the farms of Adrian Vos near Blyth, John Hazlitt in Colborne Township, Phil Durand, north of Grand Bend, Harry Knip just over the county _line in Middlesex County, Bob Allen ` near Brucefield and Nick White near Seaforth. • Tobacco plants at each site were evaluated for the specific symptoms of ozone - induced leaf injury every two weeks. Each leaf on each plant was individually evaluated and the data averaged. New leaves were continuously produced so new sets of leaves were generally evaluated each 2 weeks. Photographs of leaf 'injury were taken occasionally. Injury to the super -sensitive Bel -W3 was extensive and roughly similar at all sites. The moderately sensitive Bel - 05 was injured most at site one on all sampling dates and 9 least at site three on June 30 and July 14. According to Adrian Vos the majority of the ozone contamination is crossing Lake Huron from the United States, the result •of pollution in large centers of population throughout Michigan State. Other tests, he explained, show that ozone does not drop over the water but begins coming back to the surface over land and .is effecting a 200 miles wide area of Western Ontario .... not only Huron but also the Counties of Perth and Middlesex. Mr. Vos also noted that, according to Norman Pearson, a professor at the University of Western Ontario and a planning consultant, the development of another nuclear power generating facility in Huron could be "the last drop in the pail" "A report by Professor Pearson indicates that if we got such a development it would mean 6,000 more people through the em- ployees, their families and the support services and industries such a develop- ment would attract, Mr. Vos points out. "Every home, every car, and every person results in more ozone. Then we would really • begin , seeing crop 'damage." Karon -boards sets supply teachers pay The TIuron County Board of Education adopted a pay scale for occasional supply teachers in the county basing their decision on a report submitted by superintendent of education.. Ralph Smith. The salary scale was negotiated this year for the first time separating incomes for full time teachers and supply teachers. Mr. Smith told the board that normally the two salaries. are negotiated by the federation of teachers at the same time b'ut this year they were separated since supply teachers are not federation members. The incomes are divided between teachers holding degrees and those not, Group A teachers are those qualified to teach secondary school and elementary school teachers with an approved university degree and they' will be paid $52 per day, a decrease daily of 80 cents. Group B teachers, unqualified secondary school teachers and elementary school - teachers with no degree, will be' paid $45.91 daily, an increase of $3.91. The salaries will be changed if the supply teacher works in the county system more than • 15 consecutive days. The 15 day, period is classed as long term supply and places the teacher on the same salary grid as full time teachers. Only four teachers taught on long term supply in 1975-76. - The agreement ' is retroactive to January 1, 1977 and will be in effect for the entire year. • On February 1, the Arbor will be owned and managed by Heather Ross.
