be a huge task, but according to bazaar convenor Norma Grigg the job is made
much easier through the help of many members in the UCW and the church

may be a great many more arguments
why they should be higher."
Reeve Eileen Palmer of Goderich,
said she read recently that no
municipality will be subjected to an
increase of more than five per cent in
their assessment.. She said both in-
creases and decreases will be
cushioned overa five year period.
Reeve Roy Williamson of Grey
Township said landprices in his area
have gone up about 10 per cent and so
his council didn't feelit could appeal
the equalization factors.
Jack Stafford, deputy -reeve of
Howick Township, said in reference to
the assessment paying educational
costs that "people services should be
paid by people and not land values."
The deputy reeve. said he wasn't
denying -land prices have gone up, but
asked, "why shouldland have to pay
education costs?"
I just can't believe it. .I have
worked, sweated and suffered for
months to reach the ultimate goal
and just when I think I've won, they
have the audacity to change the
whole game on me.
When fashion designers took in
the seams on skirts and pants I
panicked. Knowing my derriere,
and other parts for that matter,
would not be flattered in the new
skin tight creations, I went to work
on a major body renovation.
I 'gave up my favorite foods and
diligently chomped on celery sticks
and diet pops, watching and
waiting for the pounds to shed.
When I created a less -rounded
figure for myself, I was pleased. To
celebrate, I tossed away my wide -
legged pants for the more
fashionable styles, regardless of
the cost.
All seemed well and fine. I was
finally matchiing, well maybe
coming close, to the looks worn by
models in fashion magazines, that
is until I opened the pages of one
magazine last week. To my horror,
I saw models wearing the latest
fashion, baggy legged pants.
And baggy legged they were, so
large that they look at least three
sizes too big, except at the waist
and the ankle where they " were
drawn in tightly.
"Flow could they do this," I
steamed. "After I spent all that
time and money."
I tossed away the magazine in
complete disgust. I would not be
part of this new trend, 1 would not
be a puppet for designers' newest
fancies
If yod tried to keep up with all the
newest whims of those Paris
designers, it's entirley.. possible
that you could end up being a well
dressed raving idiot. One minute
it's straight legged pants, then next
it's wide legged ones. High heeled
shoes are the rage, then it's low
heels. One month we're told that
the peasant look is in, the next
month we're to wear fashions from
the 40's.
•Hats are on their way out now.,
The newest trend is to style your
hair to look like a hat, if you can
believe that. Hair, most of which is
probably a hairpiece, is molded
into styles that frame your face.
like a hat. Pillboxes, picture hats
and netting to cover the face are
now created out of hair.
Why, I don't, know? Wouldn't bey
simpler just to use conventional
hats. What happens to your hat -
hairdo if you waer it out in the
rain?
Luckily, this highfashion is not
for everyone. The fads and trends
are really only for the wealthy and
the extravagant women of world.
Lean just imagine the astounded
looks I would get if I came into
work wearing the new Paris
fashion.
Fortunately, they just aren't
practical here, and I just hope they
stay in Paris for a few years'
longer.

New county bylaw will
help hospital costs
BY ALICE GIBB
Huron county council
passed a bylaw Thursday
to update its method of
establishing hospital
grants - a bylaw council
hopes will protect the
county in the future.
Council will now pay a
grant up to a maximum
of 37.5 per cent of the paid
provincial subsidy for
any provincially ap-
proved building pro ect
at any public hospital" in.
the county, provided no
grant paid to one in-
stitution shall exceed 25
per cent of the total ap-
proved project cost.
In effect, the new bylaw
says if the province won't
put funds in a hospital
building project, then the
county won't either. This
protects the county from
having to fund hospital
renovation projects
approved by the
province, but not funded
by the province.
Also, with the new
bylaw, the county no
longer needs the approval
of four county hospitals
when funding a building
program at the fifth
hospital in the county.
Bill Haply, county
clerk -treasurer, said the
executive committee's
concern with the former
bylaw was that the
province might feel "if I
don't have to pay for
something, then I m'av be
pretty free with �my
approval. The current
bylaw safeguards the
county from this
possibility..
Reeve Eldrid Simmons
of Exeter expressed
concern over the new
bylaw, saying he's afraid
smaller hospitals already
aren't getting the same
share of funding that goes.
to larger hospitals.
"When we're collecting
money from taxpayers,
we have as much right to
have a hospital funded by
the county whether the
provincial government
funds it or not," said
Simmons.
Simmons said the
Exeter hospital was
fortunate to have its own
finances to fund a recent
building program at the
hospital. When ,the
province turned down
ExeterLs request for
financial assistance, the
hospital went ahead with
renovations using a grant
from the county and its
own funds.
The province did
contribute two-thirds of
the cost of building
programs at Goderich,
Clinton and Wingham
hospitals, with the county
funding 25 per cent of the
remaining costs and the
local municipality seven
per cent of the cost in
each case.
} Simmons;. said he's
concerned about . the
future. He said county
hospitals could run out of
money in the future and if
the ministry of health or
the county doesn't fund
them, then the hospitals
will get in "a dilapidated
condition."
Simmons- added, "I'm..
afr.ai,d we're looking at a
back door entrance to
closing a lot of these little
hospitals."
Eileen Palmer, .
Goderich reeve, said she
sees the present situation
in hospital funding more
as a move to bring
district health councils
into the area. The reeve,
a strong advocate of
health Councils, said
because ' -of the provincial
hospital funding situation
she sees more need to c
have district health s
councils since they'd
have more clout in d
dealing with the
province.
In other council
business, meml)ers
approved the hiring of
another public health
nurse to work in the north
of the county. Dr. Brian
Lynch, the Medical
Officer of Health,
reported the public health
nurse in the Wingham
area was carrying a
caseload of 6,588 and
spends 10 days of each
month on home care
alone.
The board of health
report says "the district
from• Wingham to the
farthest end of Ashfield
township is 30 miles so
that part of the district
has virtually no nursing
service because the
Wingham area nurse has
little time to visit in Ash-
field and West Wawanosh
townships".
The nurse's salary will
range from $14,000 to
$17,000 annually
depending on ,experience
with the province of
Ontario funding 50 per-
cent of the cost.
The board of health
report also recommends
that health unit staff
avoid smoking in
situations where it
wouldn't support the
objectives of the health
unit programs.
Reeve Eileen Palmer,
chairman of the health
board, said there 'was,
oncern that staff was
cooking in public schools
while carrying out their
uties.
Homes get help
GODERICH
Homeowners in the south.
east end of Goderich may
get new sewers and roads
in the next few years if
the town's Neighborhood
Improvement Project
(NIP) for funds is ac-
cepted.
Although the $2 million
project recently received
approval from the town
council, it hinges on a
number of things, in-
cluding the town's ability
to come up with its share
of the cost of the project.
Goderich has been
involved in the NIP
program in the past. In
three, years the town has
spent a little over $1
million and by the end of
1980 will have spent
almost $1.5 million in the
neighborhood.
Council, however, may
not have to spend as
much of its own money in
the most recent NIP area
because of some changes
in the program.

"Everyone helps out and every
booth has its own convenor and
they have their own respon-
sibilities."
According- to Mrs. Grigg, the key
to the success of the bazaar is
starting early'and getting aS much
help as possible. Months before the
actual bzaar date, each member of
the congregation is asked to help
out in some way, whether it be
Whitting a pair of mittens, donating
'an article for the flea market,
making pastry for the famous
chicken pies or giving monetary
support.
"It's the one event of the year
when everyone gets together,"
UCW president Kay Wise ex-
plained.
"We even get the men out looking
for pine cones," she added.
"Everyone does what they can,"
Mrs. Grigg noted. "Some can do
things that others can't."
Obviously eveyone does help in
some way. Every inch in the
church, except for the sanctuary, is
filled with items for sale. Crafts,
baking, sewing, a Christmas booth,
a flea market, a lunch and tea
room, a silent auction, the
delicatessen, the kiddies corner
and the flea market are all part of
the giant fall bazaar.
"There's something for
everyone," bazaar worker Barb
Hicks said. "The baking's always a
favorite, you can,have lunch and
mothers can even send their
children to the kiddies' corner
while they shop."
"We don't give anything away,
but our prices are reasonable,"
Helen I$avies, former UCW
president said.
"People go to a bazaar looking
for a bargain and our prices are
good. Just think of all the time and
ening
cost it took o make those crafts."
Mrs. Hicks noted.
The people in the church begin
preparing the items for sale as
early as, February for the
November bazaar. Work parties
are held to snake many of the crafts
• and baking and everyone tried to
make something for each booth.
Mrs. Grigg, for instance, helped
make all. the, .chicken pies along
with 70 large cabbage rolls. She
also snake two crib quilts and 10
pounds of Christmas cake.
"Sometimes regular UCW
meetings are routine, but at the
• work parties for the bazaar, you
get closer to one another and meet
new people," Mrs. Hicks ex-
plained.
"It's not only work," Mrs. Grigg
agreed. "There's a lot of sociability
behind it and people get to know
one another. You need the bazaar
to keep the church and the people
together, even if it does cost
money."
The bazaar, really costs little to
put on because of the generous
donations of time and money from
the congregation and because of
the excellent support from the
shoppers.
This year the UCW will use
proceeds from the bazaar to help
pay for a new kitchen and
washroom facilites in the church.
As well, money will be put towards
the $3,000 Mission and Services
fund at the church and to help
support two foster children.
"We shouldn't always think we
have to make more money," Mrs.
Grigg said, "there's only so much
people can do."
"Every year we say that the
bazaar's a big job, but we need the
money and we really do have fun,"
Mrs; Wise noted,
