Goderich, a haven for people
seeking the quiet life in a town
resplendent . with trees and
green areas. The trouble with
those green areas according to
some residents of town is that
they are also a haven for
squirrels. Lots and lots of
squirrels.
The problem was brought to
the attention of town council on
Monday night by animal
control Dick Eisler. He com-
plained to council that he was
being plagued with phone calls
concerning squirrels nesting in
buildings and sheds. s
"Surely these people can fix
their buildings so the, animals
can't get in," commented
Eisler. "Ira' not their)ceeper.”
Councillor Jim Peters agreed
with the officer adding that the
furry little creatures can really
"make a mess of an attic."
'Plug thelholes,': instructed
Councillor Leroy Harrison.
"I have dozens of them in my
back yard and I'm delighted
with them," said Councillor
Elsa Haycion. ,
CouncillorFrank Walkom
explained to council that he had
one "hell of a time" keeping the
squirrels away from his prize
walnut. tree last year. He said
he had asked the animal control
officer if there was chance of
getting a trap to catch them
and transport them to another
part of town."
Eisler said that there were
traps available but they were
• difficult to get because 'of their
• wide use. He added that you
could get ahold of them but you
had to wait your turn.
• "Maybe we could give them
to Stratford with the swan
that's down at the lake,'; .said
mayor Deb 'Shewfelt sar-
castically: ,
The general consensus' of
council . at the end of the
discussion seemed to be that if
you have a problem with a
squirrel don't come to council
with it. You can handle the
situation in anyway you deem
fit but it is against the law to
kill them.

is laid. As the egg cools, the
contents contract, • producing
the characteristic air cell that
usually forms in the large end.

" A golfer faces several op-
ponents - himself, the course
and the other man. But, for the
beginner; the stiffest opponent
of all, is the game of golf itself!
When y learn to make your
first. golf shots, you are asking
a whole series of muscles to
perform actions to which they
are unaccustomed., You do not
at first succeed in doing what
you are' trying to do. So,
beginners the only way to learn
how to play golf, is to seep on
hitting golrshots!
The membership campaign
at the Sunset has been met with
enthusiasin and the weather
has been very co-operative.
The :past weekend was full of
sunny golf and clubhouse ac:
tivities but this coming
weekend promises to be an
even more active one with the
Club Anniversary Party on the
19th.
A one o -clock brunch will be
followed by nine holes of golf -
or eighteen if you're in shape!
It's a good- way to win prizes,
eat well and meet your fellow
golfers. "So, come on out!.
Members and green fees alike
are welcome.
Don't forget ladies, tonight,
May 15, is your night at the
Sunset. Tee off time is 5:30 p.m.
If you feel a little rustyfiter the
long winter, this is a good time
to renew your old golfing skills
and -actitiaintaliees.- Ir"Shbild'
prove to be Its of fun.
The game of golf, if I may
write for " a moment for any
• beginners like mys,elf, is
essential!y a business of
starting here and finishing
there, overcoming as best you
can all the hazards encountered
on the way 'and trying to get
your ball into the hole in fewer
strokes than the other man.
, Gripping a golf club jn the
proper way may seem like a
simple task for the experienced
golfer but for the beginner, it
can pose a problem. There are
variations in the accepted way
of gripping a golf club as welli
as in swinging it but few people,
including myself, are able to
catch hold of the club the right
' way the first time that they try.
• , This may help: Swing the
club with your left arm alone,
, making sure that you carry it
right through along .the in-
tended line of flight, and when
the movement begins to feel
right, note exaotly hOW' you are
gripping the club with your left'
hand. Then repeat the process.
with the right arm alone.
• Now start again with both
hands, placing them on t14; club
together exactly as you did by
themselves. On • looking down,
you should see the two knuckles
of your left hand and that the
"V" between your right thumb
and forefinger is pointing to
your right shoulder. '
I hope thrs will help you with
your grip. -Give. it a try and
COME ALIVE IN '751. ..

MPP calls
formers Yahoos
Frank Drea, MPP for
Scarborough Centre, sparked
some. heated discussion in the
legislature a few 'weeks ago
when he referred to members
of the farming community as
yahoos..
Murray Gaunt MPP for
Huron -Bruce took exception to
• the reference and debated at
some length with Mr. Drea
about his choice of ter-
minology,
A few weeks ago, " Jack
Riddell, Liberal MPP for
Huron had occasion to defend
the farming -community after a
remark made , by Mrs.
Scrivener, MPP for St. David
which he believed to be nothing
short of derogatory.
Mr. Riddell addressed his
remarks to the minister • of
agriculture and food ., stating
that in view of the length of
time it has taken to improve
urban -rural relationships in
Ontario, would the minister
take, it upon himself to
enlighten Mrs. Scrivener, who •
supposedly made •
statement, that in her appraisal
of opposition members as
potential members of the
governing body in Ontario, thg,,
Member for Huron -Bruce
although he is a nice guy, is just
another farmer.
Mr. Riddell then asked the
Minister to enlighten his
colleagues that farmers per-
form a most useful function in
society, requiring,. the utmost
skill and knowledge.
Mr. Riddell was interrupted
before he could finish his
statement but the Honourable
W.A. Stewart, minister of
agriculture and Food told the
legislature that the question did »
not deserve a reply. Hopetully-'-.
the minister does not question
»the fitness of farmers to serve
in,the legislatfire.
