It was a new ex- perience for those taking part, and thanks to Karen for providing first hand information on this popular art. This is one of many ser- vices, that Karen offers her patrons. There was a distinctive aroma of baking in the auditorium on February 4, when several ladies from the Bayview area tried •their skills at making cookies. There' is always the feeling of achievement f r the residents when they have an opportun'ty to get into the kitchen, and try their han at baking and cooking. Having sampled t e product, hot from the oven, one knows th quality and goodness in these sweets. Another .successful Tupperware demonstration' took place this week. As always there was a good display of numerous articles. Brenda Glen was our hostess. On February 5, in the Summer Hill lounge, a flower -arranging program was held. This is a popular art, especially for the ladies. A lot of interesting ideas came about from this session. The mid -week Huronview chapel service took place on February 6. Mrs, Prouty, who is in charge of the meeting, also led in the singing of hymns, which was followed by prayer. A devotional reading was given by Sarah Carter. Elsie Henderson presided at the organ for this service. The message, with the theme Do All To The Glory of God was presented by Mrs. Prouty. The meeting closed with a benedictory prayer. The following morning Rev. John Pluta conducted Roman Catholic Mass in the chapel. Ann Leiper of Clinton, entertained the residents in the Bayview lounge with her beautiful piano playing. Ladies from the Huron Heights area got into the baking act, and it is surprising to see some of the other delicate things they can do. In the absence of the regular minister, Rev. Ken Bowman of the Blyth United Chur- ch, conducted Sunday morning worship. During the service Rev. Bowman sang two solos. Residents welcome Albert Smith of Huron Park, Fran Reed from Kincardine and Mr. and Mrs. Earl Raithby of Goderich. To the family of the late Mr. Frank Kloskowicz, sympathy is extended.

These services will assist people discharged from psychiatric hospitals as well as help improve the quality of life for emotionally distressed people in the community. OFFIRR Extended I would remind my constituents that as Minister of Agriculture and Food I have ex- tended the deadline for the Ontario Family Farm interest Reduction (OFFIRR) to March 15. The program was scheduled to close this month but was extended because a late harvest meant many farmers needed more time to prepare their year-end cash flow data. I have also extended the deadline for action against farmers in financial trou- ble under three provincial programs. The $50 million OFFIRR program, an- nounced, in August, provides grants to help farmers reduce their interest costs to eight per cent on existing long term debt for one year. About 5,000 farm families have ap- plied for assistance under the OFFIRR pro- gram so far. Application forms are available from local OMAF offices and from the Farm Assistance Programs Branch of the Ministry at 801 Bay Street, Toronto, On- tario. M7A 2B2.

Monieson and a practical commentary from Pat Dickey, the secretary of Farmers Allied Meat Enter- prises Co-operative Ltd. Many of those pre- sent were accredited salesmen with com- mon shares in FAME and the others were interested hog producers, beef producers, etc. Dr. Monieson, who has studied the pro- blems of farm marketing, and has been strongly allied with the Ontario Hog Pro- ducers in their attempts to gain. and keep control of their own product, warned that "this may be your last chance. Don't be like Hamlet - a man possessed of gloom that can't make up his mind. Be men of action." Agrees To Freeze Town Wages -Mayor W.J. Miller and his council have attempted to stem the tide of inflation, in Clinton at least. They decided in committee meeting last week, and confirmed it by passing, a bylaw during the regular session on Mon- day, not to give any raises to town employees in 1961. This would keep with the request of Prime Minister John Diefenbaker- made last year, urging employers to "hold the line." 50 years ago February 13, 1936 Lost In The Storm -Two Clinton young men had an experience which may be all right to look back upon, but which at the time was not particularly enjoyable. Messrs. J. N. Hobbs of the Royal Bank staff and John Cuninghame started off Saturday afternoon on skin for the Cuninghame cot- tage at Bayfield, intending to spend the night there. They struck off through fields and woods and getting out of sight of the roadway or landmark they lost their way and wandered about a bit without making any headway, until they finally came out on a road and made their way home, arriving at about eleven o'clock. As they were to telephone on reaching their destination there was some anxiety felt before their arrival. It was a stormy afternoon and it would be easy to miss ones way, without landmarks or guides, and when dusk fell the case became more serious. New Piano Model -It is certainly a beautiful instrument and should find a ready sale, as we all hope it will. We are speaking of the new piano which is now turned out by the Sherlock -Manning Pianos, Ltd., Clinton, which if you have not seen you ought to look up. The instrument is sort of a cross between a grand and an upright, we believe they call it the Grandette, or something like that, and Programs Branch at (416) 965-7661. New Trillium Account Tradition is an increasingly rare and often maligned quality. Therefore it was en- couraging to see tradition restored with the wit and warmth displayed recently by Treasurer and Minister of Revenue, Robert Nixon. Nixon informed members of the Legislature that the Province of Ontario Savings Office (POSO) has introduced the Trillium account, POSO's first daily interest savings/chequing account. The Trillium ac- count will pay daily interest on every dollar in an account; there is no minimum balance required before interest starts ac- cumulating. For deposits under $5000, the rate is 6 per cent. This rate will increase to 71/2 per cent when the balance is $5000 or more. Nixon told his fellow MPP's that his father, Harry Corwin Nixon, was a very strong supporter of POSO in 1923 when it was established and of its chief aim, to make low-cost loans to Ontario farmers. "This provision was rescinded in 1923 by the government which followed the United Farmers, a Conservative government I should add, and never restored", said Nix- on. Since then, however, and for over six decades, POSO has offered Ontario citizens a place to put their savings which is a little different from the average bank or trust company. A place where savings are guaranteed by the government and where personalized service comes first and foremost. Nixon told members of the Legislature that since his first savings ac- count was at a POSO branch, he had opened a Trilliurn account at a local branch and urged them to do the same. I am pleased to inform you that my col- league, the Honourable Jim Bradley, Minister of the Environment will be awar- ding a $4,000 grant to the Township of Stephen under the Ministry's Waste Management Improvement Program. The Waste Management Improvement Program is designed to assist local municipalities to upgrade their waste disposal sites in accordance with the provin- cial legislation. Under the provisions of the program, special studies pertaining to land- fill sites can be undertaken and such sites can be closed in a manner that is safe to the environment. This initiative has been extremely well received, offering municipalities an oppor- tunity to become actively involved with the Ministry of the Environment in meeting pro- vincial requirements designed to protect the environment. it is a very handsome piece of furniture and also a very useful machine for the manufac- turing pf sweet music, if you happen to be able to manipulate the keys.

The play which was being prepared by the AYPA Dramatic Club of St. Paul's has had to be postponed on account of the illness of a number who were taking part. 75 years ago February 9, 1911 Convention Call -Editor of '1'he News- Record:- All who are interested in the work of Temperance and Moral Reform should listed to the above ca and respond as cir- cumstances will permit. The call is for the annual Convention of the Ontario Branch of the Dominion Temperance Alliance, to be held in Cooke's Presbyterian Church, Toronto, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week, which promises to, be one of the largest and most important that has yet been held.

We Are Sorry To Part -Rev. W.H. Dunbar has resigned the incumbency of the Mid- dleton - Holmesville - Summerhill parish, to take effect about the first of March, and has accepted the call to Bervie in Bruce County. The parishioners are unanimously sorry that the time for parting is close at hand for Mr. Dunbar is indeed popular and his wife shares with him the regard of all with whom they have come in contact. Happenings In Society -Mrs. W. Hamblyn had a number of matrons and maids to tea on Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Wallis entertained a number of their friends to tea on Tuesday evening. The Misses Rudd entertained the A. & C. Club at their home on Thursday evening. Mrs. Frank Hall entertained a number of her lady friends on Friday evening last. A very jolly gathering was that of young girls and a few matrons who were bidden to tea by Miss E. Chidley on Saturday. A plea- sant feature was the "showering" of one of the guests, who is to be a bride on Saturday of this week. It was a "kitchen shower" and consisted of numerous useful articles which will help furnish the new home. The party was one of the jolliest of the season. Government funds projects Murray Cardiff, MP for Huron -Bruce approved on behalf of Employment and Immigration Minister Flora MacDonald the funding of two projects under the Job Development component of the new Cana- dian Jobs Strategy to be awarded to Cham- pion Road Machinery of Goderich.
