like this in our partof the
country, so 'this is a real treat for
all of us.
Take advantage of it. The
time . is. Friday to .Sunday,_
August 25 to 27.
The same Social Services
Youth. and Recreation Branch
and your own Rec. Board bring
you another rare treat -
SUMMERSOUNDS '72.
Harbour Park, Tuesday 'August
se.
There are two groups of about
35 each. of ,very talented young
musicians, ages 15 to 22, _ who
were chosen out of and
auditioned group of .500
musicians, from all over
Ontario. The two groups - or
tours- combined for concerts at
the National Arts Centre , in
Ottawa and the St. Lawrence
Centre and Ontario Place in
<-\\Toronto'
The separate tours have
visited many towns and cities
and after their visit to Goderich
go to the C.N.E.'at Toronto for a
grand finale.
Th`se concerts are free and
the exchange of ideas with the
performers will be priceless to
all interested in music.
There are 33, youngsters -
average age, 18 years- coming to
Goderich and a few more billets
area needed for their Overnite
stay, Tuesday_ nite, August 29.
Surely some of you with an
extra bed would offer one or
more of these young musicians
hospitality for their short stay.
The .main reason for private
home billets, is the give and take
experience between them and
the host families.- Priceless!
Do call John Park 524-7591
or Don 'McMillan at ,the Hydro
office --soon.
This Friday is Penny Carnival
at our Judith Gooderham Park
Ba ,gro mcis, DA.d` yen see the
young gremlins carrying a•
sandwich board spn their back
advertising their fun and games,
boat rides, horror house, food
etc. etc. = and I believe sale of
their crafts = walking around
town hoping you'd rtice - and
remember to come to the park?
One 'poster, which I thought
was wonderful, advertised a trip -
to Detroit Zoo, August 31 for
over 80 youngsters - age 9 and
over 1 for about $3.75 each. Two
buses are ready.
On asking how they could
possibly take all those kids for
that price, John Park, Rec
Drctr, told me it included the
bus trip and price' into the Zoo
for the whole group including
the older folks who went along.
The kids take two lunches so
this makes a pretty cheap day
., for them.
• Now you couldn't take your
car down for that price and this
is what really hurts they may
not be able to go since they lack
enough interested adults to ga.
along for the trip. What a
shame when it i`s all set up.
They need about 8 adults to.
share their day - How about it?
Contact John Park right, away
and he can probably still swing
it.,
John isy that fair haired, good--
looking young man who is
working 'so hard at the park
seeing that your •kids: learn to
swim, learn to do many crafts -
actually doing . a great baby
sitting job for you each day,
besides teaching them water
safety and other priceless things.
Speak up, now, and they, ,too,
will love you.

Many women who would
never let their children play
with dangerous household
chemicals unknowingly . create
another hazard by mixing
cleansers..to produce "better
cleaning effects,' says the
Council on Family Health in
Canada.
The danger in mixing
different chemicals together,
says the Council, a non-profit
gr•ganization • sponsored by
leading members of the drug
industry, is that highly toxic
gases can be released that are
capable of producing pulmonary
damage and even death. ,
Chloride bleach and ammonia
are two -of the most commonly
misused products, say the
Council spokesmen. Chlorine
bleach, when added to ammonia
,or acid compounds such as rust
remover, bathroom ..bowl.
cleaner, lye, or vinegar, may
produce chlorine gas. This gas,
once used in chemical warfare,
causes a ,stinging or burning
sensation of the eyes, nose and
throat, and :brings on sneezing
or coughing.
Some products are dangerous
without being mixed. One of
these is oven cleaner which is
caustic and can cause skin
irritation. ,The Council suggests
that users follow label
directions ' completely, wear
protective gloves and use only in
well ventilated kitchens.
Another dangerous 'chemical
is carbon tetrachloride, ahighly

,
toxic, flammable liquid'used for
spot -cleaning fabrics. .The
Council urges housewives to
search for old bottles of the.
solvent . and , discard them', in
favor of safer cleaning agents.
Best method' of disposal is- to
pour 'the liquid into the sink,
then discard the empty bottle or
can.
Poisoning from inhaling
dangerous vapors usually
happens in poorly ventilated
areas such as a bathroom With
the door closed. The
'concentration, of gases builds up
and can overwhelm a child or
adult if allowed to reach a high
level.. '
• For this'reason,, 'the Council
advises housewivesalways • to
keep _a window open when using
cleaning compounds. If vapors
cause irritation, cleaning should
be discontinued until the air has
cleared. .
Use of household chemicals
mixed together is particularly
dangerous when child'r`en are, in.
the 'home. Their bodies react, to
dangerous gases faster than an
,adult's and they can be
overcome in a matter of
minutes:
The Council advises all
homemakers to read directions
on all , cleansers ' thoroughly,
then take even greater
precautions than,the
manufacturer recommeds.

If you have' tried to buy tires
recently, or if you, are ,planning
to 'WY' some in the near future,
ybu will see it is almost
impossible to make a rational
choice because there is no clear
terminology and grading for
tires.
Do not be misled by such
terms as premium; deluxe, or
first line , because they mean
nothing. Each manufacturer can
set his own standards for these
term. Add' to ' this other
technical expressions such as
plies, ,bias -belted, radial, and
cords,' and, the , consumer
becomes thoroughly. confused.
As of January 1, _ 1970, all
tires were to bear several pieces
of information molded
permanently into the sidewalls.
These were: size designation;
maximum permissible• inflation

town, an inexpensive bias tire
should give you adequate
service. For the family car,
which 'is used daily for work
with 'some highway driving
thrown in, a high o quality bias
tire, or bias -belted tire should be
adequate. For frequent highway
driving at high speeds, high
quality, bias -belted or radials
are suggested for best service,
even if they are more expensive.
The 'worst enemy to increased
tire wear is incorrect pressure.
Inflating • tires above
recommended pressure will
cause excessive . wear in the
centre of the tire and give a
bumpier ride. Far worse,
'however,' is under -inflation. ,
When air pressure is less than
recommended, flexing in the.
sidewalls increases,, causing
excessive heat build-up and
possibly .a blow-out. A handy
pocket tire gauge is the best way.
to ensure that tire's are properly
inflated.
Guarantees and warranties
have to be checked carefully.
Some tires do not carry any;
others carry one biased on time;
others on mileage. ,
