The'other night, I- had the pleasure or displeasure
of viewing the Channel Ten Weather Forecast en
the old boob. tube. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm
certain it was the same forecast that I've heard
everytime I've turned it in.
Sometimes I really wonder why'on earth I stay up
till midnite to watch. An almanacer can predict the
weather just as accurately using 'ant hills',
'clicking beetles' and upturned leaves. To take it
one step farther an imbecile could -look out the
window and do it just as well,
The whole question seems to be one of protection.
You make meteorological statements, that sit on the
.fence so you can never be wrong.
Let's take the example that particular night.
First prediction:- "partly cloudy". To look at this
statement logically, you have to assume that if it is
in fact "partly cloudly" part of the time, it has to be
somethingelse the remainder of the day. What else
is there besides ,not partly cloudy, which- is really
'sunny'. So in effect all that has been said is, `!it's
either going to be cloudy or sunny." I think most
people realize this fact without the weatherman
stating it unless of course he isn't aquainted with
logical thinking. - ---�
Second prediction: "chance of showers": There is
not a doubt in ,my mind, that a more redundant
statement Could be made. It is regretably profound
andbasically the truth. When isnt there a `chance'
-of showers? In case nobody has previously -noticed,
it has been raining off and on since the world was
created.
Backed up by millions of dollars worth of radar
gadgets, see through maps and weather balloons,
they said clear and warm, Inside yes, but outside it
was thundering over the lake and the rain 'was
beating on the Sleepy Hollow's roof. _
Now I'm confused. :Should I believe the TV
forecast and ignore what's happening in the real
world or`vice-versa?.At any rate, two questions still
remain unanswered:
(One) Does the weatherman grin because he •is
suppressing the desire to burst out laughing -at the
tripe he is passing on or is his face permanently
contorted from staring into the sun while making
observations on the weather?
(Two) Does he carry an umbrella to work
everyday?
-+ 4- +
That was one little bit of nonsense and here is
another:
Some say it's breezy,
Others claim it's bull.
But if you read between the lines
'then surely you will know! " -
+ + +
See you at the Frolic!

Stanley.:, township has
rejected the idea of
quarterly payments to
the Huron county board
of education.
Council made the
decision at' their July
meeting following the
receipt of a letter. _which
indicated that receiving
levies in quarterly
payments as the law
provides, the interest
payment by the board
would be reduced by
$70,487. This would result
in .a net saving to tax-
payers in Huron of $48,465
and the balance would be
shaved from the
provincial grant.
Clerk -treasurer Mel
Graham ° said council
rejected the idea as it
would result in increased
-collection costs for
township and it was felt.
the •quarterly payments
would be a burden on the
members of the farming
community.
He agreed that the net
saving by the board could
approximate the in-
creased collection and
interest charges that
would face some • of
Huron's municipalities
and residents.
In another collection
matter, Graham. reported
82 percent of the first
installment of .taxes had
been paid by the due,. date. ,.
This was down about I.0'
percent from last year,
he stated. Only three
percent of the second tax
installment has been
received with taxpayers
having until December to
pay their taxes.
In other business,
council:
-f- Granted the

A new interest rate structure on personal
loons- the Variable Interest Rate Loan!
Simply it means that the interest paid
on your personal loon will be tied into
the money market interest rote and
will rise and fall accordingly. The rate
paid by borrowers will be reviewed
regularly but will nct necessarily be
adjusted every time the market hic-
cups
Rather than hold o member to a Fixed
.high-ro-W of *rawest ons. two-ar three
year loon this new pion allows you to
pay lower interest when the market
rate falls of times it may also go up.
However our studies indicate that on
average it is a cheaper way to
