Gifts for gardeners With the increasing in- terest in gardening, many Christmas shoppers are tur- ning to flower shops and garden centres to find that special gift. Burke McNeill, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist, says friends and relatives hi- terested in gardening will appreciate a new plant or tool. • For the indoor gardener, there are a variety of kits available, ranging from gardening under lights to herb gardening. A miniature set of garden tools or a spray ,set would help keep houseplants green and healthy. The avid outdoor gardener would appreciate a new spade, hoe, rake, or a gift certificate for nursery stock, says McNeill. Garden centre operators report cordless weed eaters, trimmers and composters are popular gift items this year. There are many excellent books available on garden- Ing topics from terrarium gardening to sophisticated greenhouse techniques. • A new plant, dried flower arrangement or hanging basket .planter are lasting gifts that will be remembered long after the holiday season is past. If you cant decide on a gift for your plant lover, gift cer- tificates allow your friends to browse and select.

Example is the best teacher, says Mrs. McGill. She stresses the fact that cancer can be caused by many factors. While smoking is only one of those factors, it is one that threatens and affects not only those who choose to do it but all of those people around them who are non -smokers -- friends, family and ' co- workers. Mrs. McGill is hoping that her message will be heard and heeded. National Non - Smoking Week from January 25-30.

A letter from the county regar- ding the responsibility for charges for fire calls on public roads was discussed by council. The charges for such fires are the vehicle owner's (or his insurance company's) responsibility. Lucknow Fire Committee members from council understand that Lucknow does not bill a municipality for such a call, but that the vehicle's owner is billed. The clerk was directed to hi- vestigate the area of respon- sibility for farm machinery fires in the field. Council decided to pur- chase one subscription to The Municipal World and to have it directed to the office. An application for loan for tile drainage submitted by Roger Pentland was ac- cepted by council. The following resolution from the Township of Greenock was supported by council: Whereas the cost of electrical energy to the On- tario public would decrease significantly if Ontario Hydro would export more electricity to foreign markets and realize a profit from those exports, be it therefore resolved: 1. that the provincial government of Ontario be requested to ex- plore the possibility ' of foreign export of electricity derived from nuclear power; and 2. that the construction of additional nuclear power plants be -considered for not only domestic demand but also for export of electrical energy, especially to the United. States. The clerk was requested to check with the township's in- surance agent to ascertain if the insurance covered a telephone cable cut by equip- ment operated or hired by the municipality. Road accounts in the amount of $5,908.09 and general accounts of $119,690.12 were approved for payment. Council approved the pur- chase of the McBee Accoun- ting System less printed che- ques. By-law 18-81 was given third reading and finally passed. This is an amending by-law to by-law 13-80, The Hamilton Municipal Drain Improvement, necessary due to the actual costs ex- ceeding the estimates. By-law 19-81, The Nivins Drainage Works Extension and Improvement, (Colborne Township) was given a third and final reading.
