All cement needs additional water to complete its chemical reaction known as hydrating. In the summer there is no problem but in the winter it is necessary to protect cement from frost. The water may freeze before the hydration is complete and the concrete will •not be as durable. Aggregates may cause ,ipop-outs" which are serious. Chert is an aggregate which has a bad habit of absorbing water, freezing and popping. Pop -outs, if they occur must be found, removed and repaired. Testing of concrete is a science in itslef - various mixes are made and exposed to weathering over periods of time to assess the aggregates and cements. Freeze - thaw tests in special cabinets, compression tests, rebound tests .and core drilling are some of the research methods used on cement.

The townships — McKillop, Tuckersmith, Hibbert and 1-lullett, have refused to consider buying protection from Following the formal presentation Mustard answered many questions and he could have answered more if time had been available. It was 'a practical, down- to-earth presentation on a "hard" subject by an acknowledged expert in his field. Presented in a breezy and entertaining manner it was a high spot in Rotary programming. - by Rae Eraser the town and have been going along with plans to continue the management of the present fire fighting service. Seaforth by opting out of the agreement • will lose 'all equity in the equipment at the end of December. Ata meeting, last week, Seaforth learned it will cost over $70,000 for a, new fire truck., Seaforth clerk James Crocker, concerned about the ill -feeling that has been created over the town's proposed with- drawal from the fire area board, wrote a letter to the Fire Area Board asking the members to arrange a meeting with the town and negotiate the. terms of Seaforth's plan to sell fire protec- tion. ,The township representatives agreed to take the proposal back to their councils with the result that McKillop turned down the in- vitation at Tuesday af- ternoon's council session. Reeve Allan Campbell said it is so disheartening that the town has not changed its mind and insists on considering only its proposal to sell fire protection, refusing to renegotiate the present fire area board agreement which has been in effect for 10 years at the end of December. The reeve said, "We are willing to negotiate a joint agreement of the present five " • municipalities qs now • exists but. we are not twilling . to buy fire protection. from Seaforth. I feel sorry for • our (McKillop) ratepayers who have helped to pay the big share in the present equipment and now those, who have moved to Seaforth, are faced with duplication." McKillop council was informed by a council official from Hullett that the Township of Hullett remained firm in its decision at a council session Monday night not to buy fire protection from Seaforth but to go along with its neigh- boring townships in managing the present equipment at the e,nd of the year. Councillor Joseph Gibson of Hullett in a telephone conversation Tuesday said he did not think the four reasons Seaforth gave for opting out were insurmountable. "Educated people should be able to talk it out and settle the differences." - Councillor Gibion, said he would still consider -Nnegotiating the present board agreement if Seaforth would agree. 'Tuckersmith Township Council at its meeting Tuesday night declared it was willing to renegotiate the present . agreement now in' effect but was unwilling to negotiate.,the terms of purchasing fire protections from We* town. Tuckersznith is hosting a meeting of the four townships . at Huron Centennial School, Brucefield on September 11.. The meeting will be closed to the press as the details of managing their own fire departtnent are worked out by' the townshiP councils. • Hibbert Township met Tuesday night as well and they too will write Seaforth council that they will decline to buy fire protection from the town but are willing to meet and negotiate the present agreement with the five municipalities involved to be members of the present Seaforth Fire Area Board.
