POWDER FOR SUMMER?
Even if you don't use powder
normally, use it for hot weath-
er. It acts as a blotter, sets
your makeup. Makes you look
cooler, more polished, without
a trace of hot -weather shine.
Pick a powder that's cloud -like
...so it won't cake or streak.
NEVER BOIL
Never boil ,an egg says the
Poultry Products Institute of Ca-
nada. ' Cook it in hot water be-
low the boiling point. High
heat toughens the egg white and
makes it rubbery. This.applies
to eggs cooked in the shell and
poached eggs.

Effective date of the com-
mencement of "fringe benefits"
for administrative staff and non -
teaching 'employees .of Huron
County Board of Education poses
a touchy problem for the Board,
it was revealed at Monday even-
ing's meeting in the Central
Huron Secondary School, Clin-
ton.
Sortie employees were taken
on the payroll at January 1,1968,
and others at various dates, since
the first of the year, including
August 1, 1969. Thus there is a
problem where to start.
A motion slipped through,
making August 1,. 1969, the ef-
fective date, but was •soon re-
scinded when members .pointed
out that there should be some
further consideration of the mat-
ter:
It was decided to, request D.
J. Cochrane, director of educa-
tion, to submit a written report
and 'recommendation on the
subject to the Board at its next
meeting in Clinton on Tuesday
evening, September 2.
A special committee on
"fringe benefit " insurance, as
requested by the employees,
was set up by Chairman John
Lavis, as follows: Clarence Mc-
Donald,,, Exeter, chairman; John
Broadfoot, Brucefield; Mrs.
Marilyn Kunder, Seaforth; Mrs. ,
J. W. Wallace, Goderich;James
Taylor, Hensall.
Mrs. J. W. Wallace, God-
erich, before joining the Huron
County Board of Education as a
member; had been active in
the Ontario Public School Trus-
tees' Association. • She was ap-
pointed by motion of the Huron
County . Board to represent it
on the board of directors of that
organization.
Lincoln County Council sub-
mitted a questionnaire on Board
finances, stating that it was
preparing certain basic infor-
mation about the 1969 estimat-
ed expenditures of v a r i o us
boards of education, and ulti-
mately to summarize and pre-
sent this information with rec-
ommendations to the Province.
In refusing to take any ac-
tion, Huron County Board of.
Education members indicated
that they did not consider it
part of Lincoln County Coun-
cil's or any other.county coun-
cil's function, to seek.such in-
formation from elected County
Boards of Education, whose:
members are all elected .by the
ratepayers in the same waythat •
County Council members are
elected.

.Easy way to
keep debris out
of eavestroughs
There's good news for peo-
ple plagued with "shedding"
trees in spring and fall. A re-
cently -developed plastic pro-
duct now makes it easy for the
householder to eliminate clog-
ging of eavestroughs and down-
spouts. The product—known
as "Gutter Guard" --is made of
plastic netting.
Because the netting is flex-
ible, it can be fitted quickly'
to any type of gutter or eaves -
trough. On a shingled roof,
for example, one edge of the
"Gutter Guard" is slipped under
the shingles and the o thl:r edge
under the lip of the gutter. On
other types of roof the getting
is placed under the shingle and
over the supports holding the
gutter:
Among other advantages: It
won't rust dr corrode; it can be
cut with scissors; it won't cut •
or scratch the hands, It costs
about the same as metal types.

Marguerite Quanz is now,

she met her pen pal for the first
time. '
Patricia Wharton married
John Gossage. They live in
Gloucester, England, and with
their two sons, Gary and Brett,
are spending a month with the
Bridge family. They were met
at Toronto International Air="
port by the Bridges and the la-
dies recognized each other im-
mediately by .photographs they
had exchanged earlier.
As well as letters, the long-
time friends have exchanged
tapes and have talked several
times on the telephotie. Mrs.
Bridge said she knew she would
enjoy their company and that
"Mrs. Gossage was a good talk

ver-whelming. They are enjoy'
their visit on the farm, the Ca-
nadian weather, and think Lake
Huron is beautiful.
Mr. Gossage had visited Ca-
nada in 1955 but it is his wife's
first trip. Both the Bridge and
Gossage families hope they will
get together again.
