Students attending the nursing assistants' training school in Wingham will be paying double the cost of this year's fees next September. The 216 per cent increase raises' the tuition fes to $325 for the 35 -week corse from $150. The new fee will make the school's fees equal to those charged by Ontario community colleges, ac- cording to last week's Wingham Advance -Times. At the current enrollment of 20 students, the higher fee would only cover 10 per cent of the $65,000 required to operating the nurses school annually. February 28th or bust. Unless the goal of $400,000 has been raised by the end of the month, St. Marys and the surrounding area may have to wait another year to erect its new arena and community centre. The St. Marys Journal -Argus reports that unless the amount is raised in time, the community will not get ,approval from Wintario, which along with a Com- munity Centres grant, is required to pay for over half of the expected $1.3 million construction costs. If the money is successfully raised by the end of the canvass construction will begin the first of April in time for completion in October. A cost-sharing plan for the usage of the Zurich arena could lower the community's share of the $11,532 deficit to $5,532. Preliminary discussions with the councils sr from Grand Bend, Hai Township and Stantey Township showed they favoured paying a Straight grant rather than. working on a percentage of the deficit, says a story in the Zurich Citizens' NeWs. An Advisory board, composed , Of representatives from all the councils will be established to decide on the final brea.kdowl for sharing the net operating deficit. Last year's operating deficit of $3,675 is down from the $11,016 incurred in 1975. Elsewhere in the Citizens' News, council members will not cash in on an eight - percent salary increase voted for all employees of the municipality of Zurich.

From last week's Listowel Banner comes news of the resignation of Police Con- stable. James Cadiou, who was suspended from duty on Feb. 8 after being charged with serving liquor to minors. Const. Cadious, who was a four-year veteran of the Listowel force, submitted the resignation to take effect .March 15. Although displeased with the resignation not taking effect for another three weeks, the town council accepted the potice stipulating that Const. Cadiou would not perform any police duties during the waiting period. Seaforth town council has hired two crossing guards for its two elementary schools at the rate of $3 per hour. According to the Huron Expositor, the question of hiring three guards came up a year ago, last fall when the education ministry notified the town that the crossing guard program using senior students would be dropped from Seaforth Public School. St. James Separate School will also receive benefit of a crossing guard though they have never had one or student patrols either. Since not many students have to cross Highway 8 to reach the school, Sister Mary -St. Louis, the school's principal won- dered where the crosswalk would be established and what its purpose will be. Be cautious in thawing .pipes*Hydro warns The long unbroken period of extremely cold weather since Christmas has increased the possibility of frozen water pipes. Ontario Hydro has issued a warning that the use of electric welders or similar type equipment to thaw pipes can be hazardous if certain precautions are not taken. "We have contacted all electrical utilities in the Georgian Bay Region," says Hedley Palmer, regional marketing manager, reminding them of the danger of fire if steps are not taken to isolate the frozen pipe from the electrical system. "This can be done by either Are you part of the human race or just a spectator? PaRTFOParnon 111 Fitne.s. In %sur heart vi*i knu it'. right. removing a section of pipe in the house or having Hydro disconnect the neutral of the electrical service at the pole, or both," Mr. Palmer says. "If this is not done there is a serious danger of the high current associated with the pipe thawing operation causing over -heating of electrical equipment which can result in a fire." - He went on to explain that because of the numerous paths for the current to take, especially where a municipal water system is involved, the fire may occur in a dwelling other than the one where the work is being done if it is connected to the same transformer. "In addition to the serious danger of fire, , electrical appliances may also be damaged," Mr. Palmer says. "If you are unfortunate enough to have your water, pipes freeze up, please be sure your local hydro is contacted to ensure the necessary precautions are taken before using welding equipment to thaw them out."
