Sweeper sale Some councillors were most upset at having to pay expenses for tree peeple to go to Toronto and examine street sweepers. Councillor Jim Semis said it was premature for the mayor, deputy - reeve and., commissioner of works :to be out of town .to look at a sweeper when budgets haven't passed.

Stan Profit argued that council refused to, send councillor: John Doherty to Kitchener to look at a tractor but endorsed a Toronto trip to look at sweepers. Big Sisters?

JODE supports arts To kick of its 81st anniver- sary, the National Chapter of Canada, IODE, • is donating $7,000 to the Labrador North Creative Arts Festival to pay for the transportation costs. of Labrador students to be flown from their isolated communities to Goose Bay Happy Valley. The Festival, begun in 1975, has expanded each year, and this year will cost $12,000 and will involve some 500 students from the com- munities of Nolo, Davis In- let. Hopedale. Makkovik_ Rigolet, Cartwright, Black Tickle, Paradise River; Non-- thwest River, Goose Bayand Happy `JaLley—he-p esentta- tions at the festival will in- clude various aspects of the arts: music, drama, art, poetry, dance ..and story- telling, and the role of the ad- judicator will not be so much to judge as to lead discussion and assist the groups in evaluating the -merits of -their presentations. One of the main objectives of the Festival is to foster a broad sense of Labrador identity, and the IODE shares this objective of preying heritage through educating the young and en- couraging the arts. This op- portunity to ' visit a larger ur- ban centre and to share several days with other. young people from various communities might be the only chance afforded the 'participants: for several years, and in some cases, for —rest of their lives. The IODE believes that this project of bringing together in an amiable and productive setting these students •of Indian, Inuit and White backgrounds is indeed a most worthy one. Regionwants stiffer penalties The Regional municipality of Hamilton -Wentworth is lobbying for stiffer penalties against anyone carrying a firearm while taking part in a crime and suggests invoking the death -penalty if a criminal shoots a policeman. A resolution from Hamilton -Wentworth has been circulated to all municipalities in Qntario asking that it be endorsed and forwarded to the Attorney -General of Ontario and the Minister of Justice. Goderich council refused to endorse the resolution arguing that the resolution was too specific and was perhaps out of the jurisdiction of Ontario municipalities. Councillor John Doherty said policeman accept their position as a way of life and are paid well for their job. He added they should not be treated any differently than an ordinary citizen. Stan Profit said something should be done with the law but wasn't satisfied with the wording of the re?iolution. "We all want something done and I am suprised the death penalty was abolished in the first place," he said. "The law makes allowances but something should be done." Reeve Don Wheeler suggested the resolution was too specific in asking for the reinstatement of the death penalty. "The lawmakers should do the job," he said. "The municipalities should only say that they want something done." Councillor Glen Carey added that the regional municipality had no jurisdiction over such matters. The resolution states that the regional council of Hamilton -Wentworth is concerned about increasing attacks on members of various police forces in the country. They suggest the laws of the country should protect both the citizen and police from acts of criminals. "We feel very strongly that those who carry firearms while taking part in a criminal act should be dealt with more severely when they are brought before the courts," the resolution read. The resolution asks that a penalty of not less than 20 years in jail be enforced on anyone carrying a firearm while participating in a criminal `act. It also suggests that if a criminal shoots and kills a policeman while taking part in a crime, the death penalty should be invoked and subject to no-appeal•to the cabinet. College offers seminar on woodlots Woodlots and windbreaks offer farmers a lot more than just aesthetic appeal, and the Ridgetown College of Agricultural Technology hopes to point out some of the advantages at a one -day seminar February 19. "Most farmers take woodi,ts and windbrealts for granted," says Dr..

"During the program we want to point out how pro- ducers can use windbreaks and woodlots to not only save money, but perhaps use them very profitably on the farm." The program, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., starts with a look at the establishment and maintenance of wind- breaks and shelter belts. It also looks at the benefits these trees provide in soil conservation, energy con- servation and increased crop yields. Participants include representatives of the On- tario Ministry -of -Natural Resources, the St. Clair River Conservation Authori- ty and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. During the _afternoon ses- sion, producers- can find out about the values of woodlots. for on-farm heating of buildings as well as other profitable suggestions. Speakers plan to discuss the types of assistance available to.help farmers market trees tor timber, sawlogs and veneer. Other speakers will _explain woodiot -manage- ment and make recommen- dations about thinning, cull- ing and selecting trees. "We hope producers will test their knowledge of trees at a wood identification quiz set up at the seminar." says Dr. Baldwin.

Time to plan garden The snow is still on the ground, but many home gardeners are already at work planning their 1981 garden. "One good way to start is to spend a few evenings in your favorite armchair reading the new seed catalogues," says Bob Flem- ing, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food hor- ticulturist. "Illustrated mail order seed catalogues can brighten many cold and dreary winter nights until the spring thaw." The catalogues show new- ly released annuals, peren- nials and woody •• plants. Descriptive information is presented about every entry to persuade you to buy, Many seed catalogues in- clude helpful information about cultural; practices for flowers and vegetables. "When you look at the pic- tures, all of the- colorful flowers and lush vegetables 'appear tempting," says Mr. Fleming. 'But be cautious; read all the information before you order new and un- tried garden plants." Be sure to select varieties that are best suited to your local climatic conditions and soil type. Check the varieties for resistn"P to di' Catalogues offer some in- teresting ideas for the spring vegetable garden. But before you get carried away, consider your family's preferences, and the amount of time and space available. Better pay those parking fines. The controversy with respect to the legality of parking tickets should now be cleared up. Town council passed a bylaw at the advice of the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affair's that tightens up the wording relating to parking offences. Bylaw 74 of 1979 was amended with the words time'restricted deleted. The amendingbylaw also contains the addition stating that the owner of a vehicle that is parked or stopped in contravention of the bylaw is guilty of an offence and liable to a $10 fine. Unless the owner can prove to the satisfaction of the court that at the time of the offence the` Vehicle was in the possession of another person without the owner's consent.
