LUAU --
ALONG THE MAIN.DRAG
By The Pedestrian
BEWARE OF THE PLY—
A new threat to human well-
being his arisen with the advent
of warmer weather. Over the
weekend' 20 or - 25 people were
treated at the Wingham-and Dis-
trict Hospital after being exposed
to blackflies. Normally these
little brutes are no more than a
* nuisance, but for some reason or
other they are much more
numerous than usual and their
poison seems to be excessively
virulent. Some children arrived
with faces so swollen they could
scarcely see. If you have to be
outdoors and you react to this
sort of bite, better use one of
those spray cans to keep the bugs
away.

TRAFFIC ARTERY --
A few yew's ago the highways
in this neck of the woods were
pretty quiet over a holiday week-
end. Not any more,.Highways 86
and 87 were running a close sec-
ond to Highway 400 at times on
Friday, Saturday and Monday, as
the folks from farther east
4 travelled to the lake and back.
TIME TO PLANT --
A lot of seeds went into the
ground during the past few daysp
*What appeared a few weeks ago
to be an unusually early spring
has been decidedly set back by a
long spell of cold, dark weather,
However, with the sun out in all
its glory and temperatures ris-
ing, the gardeners have been
*hard at it—and the high price of
vegetables , has given them an
added Stimulus.
OVER tilt TOP -
The combined efforts of a large
number of eople in the Wingham
area pushed the Salvation Ar-
my's lied Shield Appeal over the
campaign objective., A total of
" iSAO, most W. over the ob-
jective was collected. This is up
slightly aver last year's total.
Fire destroys
farm home
An overheated stove pipe
running to a chimney caused a
fire which gutted the upper,
storey .:of the home of! Lloyd
Barth, northwest of Blyth on Fri-
day around noon.
The . Wingham Fire Depart-
ment as part of the Mutual Fire
Aid Association were called in by
two-way radio to assist the Blyth
Tire Department in battlingthe
blaze which resulted in an esti-
mated $5,000 damage to the house
and $500 to its contents.
Blyth Fire Chief Irvin Bowes
stressed the 'benefits of the two-
way radio system which enabled
him to relay a message to Wing -
ham for aid while in his car in the
Clinton area and to help in the di- '
resting of the fire fighting.
Mr. Bowes said, "The radio
saves time and can help in saving '
lives and buildings."
There were two minor injuries
suffered by firemen at the scene,
a cut hand and a nail in the foot.
There were no injuries to resi-
dents of the home who have gone
to live with a neighboring family.

Airport purchase

accepted by the Cruickshank
