He said younger senior
citizens are ,now able to
function in their com-

systems offered by
county social agencies.

ZURICH A study on the
possibility on water from
the Lake Huron pipeline
for residents two and a.
half miles north along the
lake has been completed.
Hay township council
learned- that B -M. Ross
and Associates of
Goderich had completed
the: initial ,phase of the
pipeline study and will
meet with council to
discuss the findings. •-
The study, approved by
council last September,
asked the engineers to

firemen from bringing a blaze under control at the Poswalk home in Varna on
Tuesday afternoon that killed Janet -Poswalk. The fire, however, was out of
control when firemen arrived. and Mrs. Poswalk was already dead. (News -

"Late for work again, what have
you been doing, sleeping on the
job?"
The question is occasionally
(well sometimes frequently)
directed to me upon my late return
to the office from lunch. -
I cannot tell a lie, I am an
Afternoon Napper. Sit me down in
chair for more thafive minutes
and I'll easily slip of to slumber
land.
I presume I inherit this trait. My
whole family enjoys their midday
snoozes. On the farm, my Dad used
to take half -an -hour's rest after
lunch before returning to the fields
and Mum always enjoyed curling
up on the couch by the sunny
window for a few moments of
relaxation.
It seems however that Afternoon,
Nappers are few ttand far between.
Th.e old-fasilioned notion that sleep
is an honfirable and approved
pastime has now been lost to the
swift moving pace of our society.
Today sleep is regarded as a
strictly nocturnal activity.
Today those found to be After-
noon Nappers are often accused of
being lazy, sick, anemic or just
plain strange for sleeping in the
m iddle of the day.
The "get-up-and-go" attitude of
modern society makes life
miserable for the sleepy-eyed
Napper. Jobs can be laid on the line
by insensitive bosses who think
that sleeping during the day's work
hours means irresponsibility and
carelessness.
However a strict advocate of
daylight cat naps reasons that the
moment's rest allows the body to
rejuvenate itself, makes the mind
clearer and tends for a less
irritable attitude.
Socially, afternoon naps are
frowned , upon as well. It is con-
sidered bad manners to doze off
during a leisurely visit with
shelley
by mcphee
company. The misunderstanding
hosts or company _sees this as a
pure insult on the part of the
uninterested Napper.
Reasons for,a.finick_40 winks is
quite the opposite 'however.
Afternoon Nappers Will tell you
that the reason they nod off in the
company of othei.s is because they
are totally relaxed and com-
fortable. What greater compliment
could a host ask for? Isn't it better
to have sleeping company than a
room full of_ fidgeting, nervous
types? •
Still life' is not easy for the
Napper. At home I am completely
at ease. I can toddle off the bed at
three o'clock in the afternoon
without scolding questions like,
"What's the matter are‘you sick?"
or "You probably stayed up half
the night."
When visiting friends however,
trying to fight the urge to close the
eyes in midday can be a great trial.
The Afternoon Napper desperately
attempts to keep one's eyes open,
one's body erect and one's mind
cohergnt. The urge to sleep is a
powerful force and when all seems
lost the Afternoon Napper can slip
off to the bathroom and hope that
his hosts will have the decency not
to question .the disappearance.
Which of course brings up another
abused issue, what kind of warped
minded people spend more than 10
Minutes in the bathroom?
Anyway, the Afternoon Napper
in ,North America today must go
through life witk a guilty con-
science and a cranky attitude.
Perhaps if every person had a
daily afternoon nap we'd be a more
peaceful, content society. Maybe
Alyatollah Khomeini would smile
more, Maggie would have one hour -
less to keep out of mischief and
Afternoon Nappers would finally
be able to rest in peace. • •

At their regular
meeting on March 3,

the continued union of
Canada and opposing the
Quebec referendum. The
motion, which, will be

Council agreed with a
resolution from the
municipality of Ottawa -
Carleton recommending
the province undertake
an education program to
inform drivers on the new
symbolic traffic signs.
The signs, which follow
an international system,
are replacing the word
signs and directions.
Council received a
letter from the town
building inspector, Tom
Chuter who is requesting
an increase,in his fee paid.
by the town. Mr. Chuter
told , council that his
present payment is not
high enough for the tinie
he spends with building
plans, checking boun-
daries and issuing per-
mits. Council plans to
look at the request, and
meet with Mr. Chuter.
Regarding council's
request for the complete
engineers' report on the
proposed plans for the
town hall, correspon-
dence was received from
the architects.
Hill and Borgal, the
architectural firm
working_ on the project,
explained that they have
given a written outline to
council in general terms
omitting the. technical
cal&ulation's and over a
year ago, council
received the original
engineers' report ' and
feasibility study.
The architects pointed
out to council ,that
changes could be easily
incorporated into theplan
and they would be happy

Hill and -Borgal also
stated that the town hall
can be restored and
renovated, but noted that

destruct the building.
Regarding this winter's
problem with possibly
dangerous snow and ice
loads on roofs of down-
town buildings, Coun-
cillor R -on McKay
suggested that people
seeing this problem
should take it on them-
selves to do some law
enforcing. Last fall,
council passed a bylaw
requiring the clearance
of snow and ice loads on
downtown buildings, or
face fines.
Although council
reasoned that the store
owners would keep • the
the roofs of their
buildings clear, police
chief Lloyd Westlake was
asked to contact those
contravening the snow
and ice bylaw.
A
Mr. Lester added, "we're
quite proud of it."
A new face at Huron -
view recently is Tim
Collyer, who is assistant
administfator at the
home. Mr. Collyer,
was born and raised in
Lucknow, said he wanted,
to work at Huronview
partly because he wanted
to come back and live in
the area and because as a
bank employee, he was
tired of moving around SD
often.
