This is success week - no
not competely - but a start.
The idea of having a Town
Talk, December •22 edition,
"Remembering Christmas",
finally got off the ground. A
lady brought in her
recollection. And, she was
neither begged nor bribed,
personally by me, - but
responded to the plea from
last week's column. We need
more - please write yours
long or short, we will print it -
with or without a. signature.
Allyouu readers must have a
few memories which stand
out of• by -gone ,Christ-
mastides.

Bob and Wynne Homuth
returned last week from a 31 -
day tour of the South Pacific,
- going from San Francisco,
which they termed a lovely
city, to the Fiji Islands, North
Island- New Zealand,
Australia and Hawaii. The
weather was warm from 75 to
102 with only one rainy day.
They particularly lijjed
New Zealand. It was very
"lush" and beautiful, with
green pastures everywhere
for the many sheep, - which
probably explains why New
Zealand lamb is the, choicest.
The resort areas of Fiji are
just beautiful and Suva is a
bustlingmodern city.
However, in between, the
country looks very poor and
one wonders how the native
people "eke out" a living.
Australia is a, very dry
country basically; but it does
have its greener areas where
they have irrigated the
"Muddy Murray," thus
aiding the production of beef

compared to what know in
this country. Australia also
.grows a lot of grapes and
there were many vineyards
and wineries dotted about the
area where they travelled.
Of particular interest to
them and to the people of
Clinton was -a" Doherty organ
bearing the inscription,
"Clinton, Ontario,-'Carada."
It was in an antique room
behind a souvenir shop in
Kauri, New Zealand and was
in perfect coition and tune.
Wynne -had- an opportunity to
pump and play it. She intends

the piano factory as to its

While in Melbourne, they
visited Scots Church
(Presbyterian) where Dr.
Max Putnam is minister. Dr.
Putnam is from Listowel and
known locally. He was sent to.
Australia by the Presbyterian
Church in Canada to help
there through a difficult time
such as was experienced in
Canada prior to 1925 when
Union took place. It is a
beautiful church in the heq.
of Melbourne. The Homus
were in telephone con-
versation with Dr. Putnam
but it was impossible to meet
him.
Truly, they describe this as
a trip of a lifetime.

Christmas concerts in day
schools and Sunday schools
are traditions in the Canadian
way of life. We probably all
have memories of being
either in an angel choir or
having a lead part as one of
the Wise Men or the Holy
Family. It's one tradition that
has not been scrapped in the
name of "progress" - and was
very much in evidence last
Sunday at Wesley Willis
Church when a large
Christmas Concert and party
was held. Mrs. Lorie Corrie
was emcee for the program "
which featured songs and
skits by various members of
the Sunday School from pre-
kindergarten up. Santa
stopped in to visit on one of
his pre'Christmas rounds.

A refreshing thought from
all the Christmas toy -giving
propaganda being in-
cessantly foisted upon us
through the "boob -tube" . is
'found in the December
edition of the Village Squire
on page 4' B. Entitled
"Precious, priceless gifts for'

it is written by editor -
publisher, Keith Roulston and
makesvery worthwhile the
reading.

Any day now we expect the
ultimate Christmas greeting,
the family news roundup in
computer printout form.
Although the immediate Clinton area escaped with, only
eight inches of snow, other areas, particularly London
received three feet in the first three days of this week.

Stuck in the middle
by Shelley McPhee
Once again the great white wonder has struck us and
once again we were totally unprepared for it:
Suddenly there's a rush to get snow tires on, buy winter
boots and mittens and tune up the snowmobile for the
winter months ahead.
People have been manned at their windows and beside
their radios, looking and listening to snow reports and
watching it happen like a group of African natives would;
completely surprised and aghast at the entire situation.
It's amazing to see how shortlived our memories are
when it comes to Huron County winters. It seems that we
are easily deceived into thinking that we Jive in a tem-
perate climate, after, spending a long hot summer in,the.
sun and the thoughts of snow quickly vanish during that
time. --'
However, there is no reason to be unprepared for a
display of nature's winter power. Even though the 1970's
have brought us abnormally mild winters, scientists
early in the decade predicted harsh winters near the end
of the '70's. The faithful Farmer's Almanac has also
forewarned us of a cold harsh winter. -
Last year was claimed as one of the worst winters in
over a century and this year may be the same, yet sub-
zero temperatures and an ice -filled Gulf of Mexico in the
1880's occurred.. Unfortunately, we have no guarantee
that this type of winter will not strike again.
Although we have advanced in technology and
lifestyles at an incredible rate since the 1800's, this has no
bearing on nature. While scientists are now working on a
system of satellite mirrors to deflect the sunlight, thus
adding to the hours of daylight, there is little control over
our northern winters:
Like the common cold there is nothing to curtail the
rampage of. winters. However, prevention may be taken
with an adequate supply of snow removal equipment and
common sense.
As with the cold, the best cure for winter may be; take
two aspirins and rest at home until the worst is over.
That seems to be more sensible advice, rather .than
ending up stuck in the middle — of a 10 -foot deep snow
drift!

Salt reduction planned for winter
A special research
program aimed at reducing
the amount of salt used to
keep Ontario roads free of ice
rand snow will get underway
this winter, Transportation
and Communications
Minister, James Snow said
recently.
"We want to know if it's
possible to reduce the
quantity of salt used for
winter maintenance
operations without affecting
the level of service to the
travelling public," said Snow.
Snow said the Ministry will,
therefore, be cutting back on
the amount of salt normally
used on a number of highway
test sites across southern
Ontario.
He said the test zones will
be clearly marked by
roadside signs so motorists
will be aware they may be
driving on different road
conditions. The Ontario
Provincial Police have been
informed of the program and
will be paying special at-
tention to all salt reduction
test sites.
The sites will be located on
Highways 7 and 45 near
Norvu.oad; Highways 89 and 50
near Cookstown; Highway 3
in 'the Simcoe-Tillsonburg
area and the QEW and High-
way 55. in the Niagara
Peninsula.
Snow said good
housekeeping practices will
_also- be stressed in Ministry
maintenance operations.
"It is our intention to refine
our procedures rather than
introduce drastic changes
which could result in chaotic
traffic problems.
"Hopefully, these will
permit a general reduction in
the amount of salt used."
He noted, however, that the
Ministry can only go so far
with their reduction in the use
of road salt.
"Motorists have become
accustomed to driving on
relatively bare pavement,
even under the worst winter
driving conditions. '
"The use of salt can be
significantly reduced only if
the driving public is prepared
to change their driving habits
to suit the weather Conditions
that prevail in the province,"
he said.

Several months ago I saw in
your.column where you were
replying to an ad. which cures
a person from drinking, (or is
supposed to!) I read IMPACT
every week but don't
"remember seeing anything
further about this.
Did I miss, it, or what?
Our first letter to this firm
got us back a mimeographed
reply full of praise for their
"cure" and requesting a
payment of $7.45 to learn it.
(See IMPACT of July t,3th..
last.)
We found out that their ads
are published only in
American publications,
consequently there is no way
of reporting them for false
advertising, our original hope
and intention, so we couldn't
see the sense of throwing
away good money, so stopped
payment on our cheque.
What powers do security
guards have in department
stores?
Security guards have no
greater powers than anyone
else. Their powers of arrest
are exactly what is referred to
as "citizen's arrest", under
the Criminal Code.
Under S449(2) of the Code,
"Anyone who is the owner. .
.of property, or a person
authorized by the owner. . .
may arrest without warrant a
person whom he finds com-
mitting a criminal offence on
or in relation' to that
property." He may also arrest
without a warrant anyone
who, on reasonable and
probable grounds, he believes
has committed a criminal
offence.
If you are not caught in the
act, and the guard cannot
show good grounds for
believing you are a shoplifter,
then you have grounds to sue
for false arrest.

I am a single girl living
alone. One night the building
superintendent . walked
unannounced into my apart-
ment. He had used his master
key to let himself in.
When I protested he said
that since he represented the
owner he could come in
anytime he pleased, because
the owner could go anywhere
at all in his own building. Is
this true?
It certainly is not!
In the case of an emergency
the landlord or his agent may
enter your apartment, or if
your lease provides for it, he
may (at reasonable hours)
enter your place to show it to
prospective tenants.
No landlord has the right to
trespass in his tenant's
prem ises.
