The St. Marys Journal Argus reported that the sagging wall around the library will have to be taken apart piece by piece. It's now lying in a pile on the sidewalk in front of the IP building but the masons assure that it will be com- pleted within two weeks. The rainy weather has not only slowed the farmer's productionin the area, but has also affected construction and building. The Exeter Times - Advocate reported that the building of the new Bjg 0 Tile •Company headquarters has been hampered by the weather. The building is situated on Highway 83, just east of Highway 4 in Exeter. According to the vice- president of marketing the rain has put construction about three weeks behind schedule. The new plant will be 100 feet by 150 feet. Out of this 9,000 squre feet will be used as a warehouse and service facilities and 6,000 square feet will contain office space. Initially the building will employ about 25 persons, some of these are present employees that will be relocated. Taffy, a dog from Exeter, was the first visitor at the new Zurich veterinary clinic. 10The Zurich Citizens News explained that Taffy, who was in for surgery, was the sole occupant of the kennels. The new clinic has kennel space for four cats and six dogs and eventually this `space will be doubled. Veterinarians Doug Theil, Garnet Leitch and Wes Coxon will operate the clinic which 41 has an x-ray room, vp examination room, operating room, a waiting room, pharmnacy, surgical preparation room and waiting room. According to the Citizens News, it is one of the most up- to-date clinics around. It will surely have the facilities to cure Taffy's ailment as well as other ailing animals. Following an earlier refusal by Tuckersmith council to contribute the requested $1,500 to the Seaforth arena fund, $eaforth. council has decided not to ask the township to reconsider its decision. The Huron Expositor ex- plained that the contribution was based on the number of residents who use the arena. However, Seaforth recieved correspondence from Tuckersmith noting that they would not pay that amount. Tuckersmith offered a $500 donation, but Seaforth refused it out of fairness to other townships who would be paying the full price. Council decided to drop the matter of the contribution and continue to charge Tuckersmith residents a $15 surcharge for involvement in organized sports in the arena. The Mitchell Advocate reported that OPP Constable Diane Brock of Sebringville will be awarded the bravery medal after rescuing a motoroist from a burning car last June. Constable Brock is among eight Canadians to be awarded a Medal of Bravery on the 22nd list of bravery decorations. The incident for which she will be honored occurred in June 1976 when Const. Brock rescued a motorist from a burning car at Rannoch, Ontario: She saw the car travelling at high speed and gave chase over a. distance of 13 miles. During the high speed chase, the motorist of the pursued vehicle lost control and the car over- turned in a ditch and burst' into flames. The Constable attempted to extinguish the flames but they continually flared up. So she had to free the unconsious victim from the burning vehicle. Evelyn Kennedy, editor of The Brussels Post com- mented on the possibilities of a federal penitentiary in the village. She explained that there will probably be opposition by some nervous people of the community: However, as consolation she noted that if anyone did escape, there would be little cause for concern. She figures that in a place the size of Brussels, any escaped criminal would want 'to get out of the area as fast and as far away as he could. Goderich council agreed by a recorded vote to begin the steps to expropriate 2.98 acres of land which is needed to carry Suncoast Drive eastword to join up Highway 21 and Highway 8. It's been a traditionally known fact that libraries offer books, but the libraries of today offer much more than the selection of printed materials. The Goderich Signal Star reported that the Goderich Public Library, located on Montreal Street is such a library that offers a variety of services and needs. Along with books, the library has a photocopying machine, microfilm, magazines, telephone directories, old Enrolment record at ag. schools A record enrolment in Ontario's five colleges of agricultural technology has been reported by Dr. J.

Twenty boys and 16 girls from Listowel District Secondary School were treated for injuries by Listowel Memorial Hospital following a disaster at the Livestock Market.
