Personal News
It is nice to see our seniors, John
Hesselwood, Jim Lawrie, and Millar
Richmond out walking and driving these ,
days. They have been indisposed for much
of the winter.
In this paper two weeks ago what a
wonderful picture of Luella Hall at a family
gathering to celebrate the 90th birthday of
.her brother! Unfortunately, the next
afternoon in her home, she fell and broke
her hip. Although she had one or two hard
days after surgery in which she received a
new hip, we are pleased to report that Mrs.
Hall is now making satisfactory progress in
Clinton Hospital. We wish her the best.
Bank of
Commerce
closes doors
AUBURN — Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce announced today that it will
close its Auburn branch effective at the
close of business Friday, June 7, 1985. All ac-
counts will be transferred to the Bank's
Goderich full-service . branch with
customers also being given the choice of
other nearby Commerce branches in Blyth.
and Dungannon.
The Bank's Dungannon office will con-
tinue.to operate but will have a direct repor-
ting relationship to the Bank's Goderich
branch.
"The decision to close our Auburn branch
was very difficult because of our long time
presence in the community. However, in-
creasing costs have made it uneconomical
to continue operating" said Mr. M.J. (Milt)
MacLean, Vice -President, Ontario Region.
"Our over -lapping branch representation in
the surrounding area was also a significant
consideration in our decision," he added.
The existing staff complement at Auburn
will be transferred to nearby branches.
Simultaneous -with the announcement, the
Bank has sent letters to all customers infor-
ming them of its decision.
Nature s winter signs
EAST WAWANOSH - By taking a close
look at snow accumulations, animal tracks
and tree silhouettes, school children and
other visitors to Wawanosh Valley Con-
servation Area are learning how to interpret
nature's winter signals.
The area is owned and managed by the
Maitland Valley Conservation Authority.
Deb Perkin of Listowel, conservation
education technician . for MVCA, has
developed the outdoor education program.
She reports that pupils have been en-
thusiastic about the outdoor curriculum
which for children includes "Getting To
Know Snow" and "Skeletons of Winter".
Snow profiles, they learn, can be used to
' predict spring runoff. And children are
shown that trees in winter, though leafless,
are far from being lifeless. The discovery of
animal footprints can lead to a discussion of
wildlife habitat'.
The main goal of, the program, Miss
Perkin says, is to help children and adults
gain a keener awareness of the importance
of protecting renewable natural resources.
"We try to show through our programs
here how we can work together to manage
and conserve our resources," she says.
Miss Perkin received training in inter-
pretation and forestry at Seneca and Sir
Sanford Fleming colleges.
There is a $1 fee for each participant but
this, says MVCA General Manager, Bryan
Howard, does not cover the cost of providing
the programs.
Storyteller. Mickie McClear captivated her audience with a series of stories and jokes at

tions soar with Ms. McClear's stories on March 12. (James Friel photo)
