St. Marys is a pretty
quiet place this week. The

said that it was just plain
lonely around town since
the Homecoming crowds
have gone.
Close to 1,000 people
attended the opening
ceremonies of the get
together over the
weekend and the crowd
continued to 'get bigger
and bigger, the events
more numerous and the
visiting more con-
centrated.
Some highlights of
Homecoming included a
Candlelight parade and
most importantly, the
personal reunions . that
were taking place all over
town.
The front page of the
Listowel Banner was
scattered with unhappy
news this week ranging
from an axe duel to a
jewelry heist.
Listowel provincial
court heard. the
"shocking" details of a
duel involving Larry
Brears of Listowel and
Blake Rabideau of
Walkerton as the two men
battled, one with an axe
• handle and the other with
a golf club. The rather
complicated story boiled
down to the conclusion
that both men were fined.
In other Listowel news,
$4,000 in men's rings were
stolen from Gemini
Jewellers after the front,
window of the shop was
broken by a rock.
Unfortunately the
owner of the jewelry

system that hooks up to
an answering service, but
the front windows were
not taped to the system at
the time of the break-in.

cardine Council has not

against the Bruce County

that they would cut off
services to the Huron
Heights Public School,
presently under con-
struction if the Board
refused to pay for the
services.
June 30 was the 'final
day that the board was to
pay $20,426 for the ser-
vices. However, the
Board of Education folt
that this price was unfair
and threatened to take
legal action against the
town if the serv,ices were
cut off.
The board asked two
firms of engineers what
they felt was a
reasonable charge for the
services and one firm
said $6,830, while the
second said $7,914. The
board agreed that the
second figure was fair,
but not the one given by
the town.
In a continuing struggle
the Alexandra Marine
and General Hospital has
now decided to reverse its
recent decision and has

The Goderich Signal
Star explained that the
layoff affects three
nurses, three nursing
assistants, one ward
clerk in the second west
wing and a nurse, one
nursing assistant and one
ward clerk in the
psychiatric wing.
The hospital board also
announced that three
members of the
housekeeping staff will be
laid off over the next two
or three months and as of
September 1 the X-ray
technician's hours will be
cut from six to four hours
a day.
The layoffs were made
at the expense of saving
hospital beds. In relation
to the layoffs, the 16 beds
that were previously
closed for financial
reasons, will now remain
open as a minimal care
unit. The unit will be used
for patients who don't
need as much care as
others, and subsequently
will take less staff.
The layoff is estimated
to save the hospital ap-
proximately $142,000
during the balance of the
fiscal year.

Wheat, oats, barley or quackgrass.
What are you
harvesting next year?.
ROUNDUP® WILL CONTROL
QUACKGRASS THIS FALL, FOR A
CLEAN START COME SPRING.
Next spring, nothing will be
more important than getting in and
planting as early as possible. Un-
fortunately, that doesn't
leave much time for
dealing with
quackgrass.
Unless you
apply Roundup®
herbicide by
Monsanto this fall
after harvest.
Simply allow the
quackgrass to re-
grow undisturbed in
the crop stubble until `,,
the majority of plants
are activly'growing
and at least 8 inches
high (3-4 leaf stage).
But treat before the , ',1+
tillage operations.
Since Roundup has no re-
sidual soil activity, you can plant
wheat, oats or barley next spring —
without risk of crop in-
jury.
What's more,
many farmers using
Roundup as the
key element in a
quackgrass con-
trol program,
have been able to
achieve manage-
able quackgrass
control for as long
as three years.
Don't think of
treating quack -
grass as one more
chore in the fall.
Think of it as one less
chore in the spring.
