This happens to such an extent that in some cases the poor fellow following behind hasn't a clue whether a brake light goes on or a flicker is flicking. It only takes a minute before you start off to "let the light shine through." +`+ + We've heard of draw tickets on a side of beef but .we've got one this week.

The rules for sub- mitting manuscripts •are posted on the bulletin board in the News - Record office Albert St. and copies may be had upon request. , + + + In the winter issue of Animals Voice, the of- ficial publication of the Ontario Humane Society, there was an interesting article on a life time care centre for cats. Now, I realize there are some who consider the only lifetime care centre for cats, dead or alive, is six feet under, but there are also those who care for any dumb animal not able t� plead for itself. Many, who for some varying reason, are no longer able to care for a cat, would not stoop to the. despicable act of aban- doning the creature nor are they always able to find an alternative home for their pet. So this new lifetime care centre may be just the answer. The following is an excerpt from the article detailing the establishment of the centre: Canada's first per- manent lifetime care 'centre for cats was opened in December by the Ontario Humane Society at its Durham Region (Whitby) Animal Shelter. The facilities include outdoor - indoor permanent housing for cats which allows the animals to obtain free exercise under natural conditions. The cats can climb, scratch and exercise freely. The only thing they don't have is a bird population to predate. There are rules of acceptance, they must have undergone a period of isolation to determine that they are not in- cubating any disease. They must also be in- noculated and have had sufficient time for the innoculation to develop immunity. There is a charge for the care of the cats which the owner must accept respon- sibility for in some satisfactory form. The Ontario Humane Society meets the never ending needs of animals. Already it has established a retirement farm for horses. The sudden thaw and heavy rain on the weekend sent the Bayfield River into a flood stage on Monday, but caused little damage as the ice moved out without major incidents. A return to colder weather on Monday lowered the river and reduced the flood threat. (photo by Steve Cooke) Five Huron principals transferred The Huron County board of education shuffled some of its elementary school principals around the county Monday giving them schools in or close to the community they live in. Director of education John Cochrane .said Tuesday five prin- cipals had been tran- sferred. Cochrane said the transfers reverse placings made by the board several years ago. He said in the past school principals were paid according to the size of the school they were in charge of. He said. that has since been phased out of ,the principal's con- tracts so that placements that were once regarded Garden product tricks Don't fall for ex- travagant claims when ordering garden products by mail, Frank Drea, minister of consumer and commercial relations, recently warned. "Consumers order these products at this time of year expecting they'll produce 100 -pound watermelons or yard - long cucumbers," said Mr. Drea. "But be realistic. They're not going to grow that large in Ontario." Mr. Drea said that although the ministry has taken action against mail-order nursery product companies ih the past, the best solution is to avoid being taken in by exaggerated advertising claims. Make sure ad- vertisements state whether there's a money- back guarantee and how long delivery will take, the minister advised. Because some com- panies are slow in filling orders, consumers\should plan well in advance so they don't miss"planting time, he said. Jeweller gets title David Charles Anstett of Anstett Jewellers Limited, '11 Albert Street, Clinton has added the advanced title Certified Gemologist to his previously bestowed Registered Jeweler award. These two professional awards are conferred by' the American Gem Society. Long hours of study in gemology and the suc- cessful completion of very comprehensive exams -were required of Anstett before the Cer- tified Gemologist title was awarded. One of the examinations requires the correct identification of 20 difficult, little known gemstones. The American Gem Society is an association of fine jewelers pledged to the vigilant protection of the buying public. It awards titles to member jewelers only after they, have proved their skills in evaluating gemstones, grading diamonds and have been deemed as highly accomplished and ethical businessmen by their peers in the Society. Anstett has been an American Gem Society jeweler since January 30, 1978. Anstett was brought up in the family jewelry business which was established in 1950. He received his training in Switzerland, New York and Los Angeles. As firm vice-president, he is in charge of management and sales. He flies his own plane for both business and pleasure. President Sallie Morton of the American Genn Society said, "I want to congratulate Anstett on achieving a level of skill reached by only some 612 retail merchants in the United States and Canada. He has qualified as a Certified Gemologist through his personal desire to increase his knowledge of gemology, and through the store's subscribing to business principles set down by the Federal Trade Com- mission, Better Business Bureau and the Society's Own code of ethics."

Minton police news Although Saturday was a pleasant afternoon, weather. wise, Mother Nature is still being blamed for accidents. Instead of high snowbanks and poor visibility due to the snow, an afternoon accident at the corner of Huron and Orange Street was caused by the strong sun.
