Damage by rodents and livestock, and from moisture, is a constant problem with insulation in farm buildings. The concrete sandwich method, which encapsulates in- sulation between two layers of concrete, prevents that damage. Professor Jan Jofriet of the School of Engineering points out that the durable surfaces inside and out protect the insulation from rodent damage, fire and direct wetting. An added benefit, according to Professor Jofriet, is that temperature fluctuations within the insula- tion space are minimized. Concrete sandwich walls were first developed in 1942 for commercial buildings in the United States, but they have been in- vestigated for Ontario farm buildings only over the past ten years. Professor Jofriet Fall Fashion '83 Fall Fashion '83 was presented at the Royal Canadian Legion last Wednesday by Gen's Sewing Centre. The models ranged from children to adults giving the audience a look that covere4 all ages. Models were Mary Hogan, Lori Thompson, Jenny Madden, Lee Thompson, Grace Stoddart, Susan Mclean, Brianne Mclean, Meghann Mclean, Barbara Featherstone, Jacob Featherstone and Patrick Madden. Make-up was done by Diane Dale. (photos by Anne Narejko) Township needs new bridge East Wawanosh council has instructed Ken Dunn of the engineering firm B. M. Ross and Associates of Goderich to come up wi:h a detailed slide presentation outlining t11v problems associated with the old bridge on the township's 10th line. The slide show will be used to demonstrate the urgent need for a new bridge and will be presented at a meeting of East Wawanosh Road Superintendent Ralph Campbell, council and Mr. Dunn later this fall with representatives from the Ministry of Transportation and Conununications, Toronto. At last October's meeting of council, the matter of the bridge was discussed. Last year, the MTC told council it would be another five years before the ministry would have the funds available to build a new bridge on the 10th. This year,. the government said the 1911 bridge may have to last the township up to another 15 years. Mr. Dunn has told council the bridge is m poor shape and he has imposed a seven - tonne limit on the structure, which means that many vehicles, such as milk and feed trucks and even most township equipment, are too heavy to pass over the bridge safely. Council was informed at the meeting that the bridge abutments are deteriorating rapidly and must be repaired immediately. Mr. Campbell reported $10,000 in "pat- chwork" repairs has been spent on the structure this year alone and estimated it could cost up to $75,000 before it even is up to the 11 -tonne limit. Although council has met with represen- tatives from the MTC's Stratford office, the township is no further ahead than one year ago as far as an affirmative answer is con- cerned, said Mr. Campbell, which is why council has decided to go a step further and take the matter to Toronto. Reeve Neil Vincent said a new bridge is what's needed at the site, not just a "Mickey Mouse" repair job. Council instructed Mr. Campbell to set up a meeting with the ministry for next month. In other business, council received notification of resumption of an Ontario Municipal Board hearing over a proposed Christian high school in the township. The hearing will resume Nov. 21 at the assess- ment boardroom in Goderich at 1 p.m. East Wawanosh council will lend half the estimated $4,200 needed by the Belgrave arena board to set up ball park lights in the hamlet this fall. The other half is to. come from Morris Township. The towers and lights have already been purchased from the board's $12,000 renova- tion fund. The board hopes to pay both townships back at a later date, either by holding a fundraising event or with Wintario grant money. Mrs. Isobel Arbuckle, council's represen- tative to the Wingham and District Hospital Board, has moved from the township and is residing in Wingham. Norman Hayes, ad- ministrator at the Wingham hospital, sent a letter to council stating that its represen- tative must be a resident of the township, therefore a new board member from East Wawanosh would have to be nominated. Council members decided to check into the matter to see if Mrs. Arbuckle could finish her term on the board, rather than starting someone else "cold" in the position, as Mr. Vincent put it. East Wawanosh council is willing to offer any old documents to the province for photocopying agi exhibits to be displayed next year when Ontario celebrates 200 years of incorporation. The Ministry of Culture and Recreation requested whatever j documents might be available. Winona Thompson, clerk -treasurer, said most of the old records are stored in a vault and are quite fragile, but the province would be able to use them if they can be photocopied. Finally, Richard Moore attended on behalf of the Belgrave Co-op to ask if council would proclaim the week of Oct. 17-22 Co-op Week. Council agreed to do so. The next regular meeting of East Wawanosh council is scheduled for Nov. 1 at the township shed. Lawn must be in good condition GUELPH - Fall is lawn repair and renova- tion time. Achieving a good lawn next spring will be easier if the lawn is in good condition before the winter. Turfgrasses grow well with full sun, plen- ty of moisture, and moderate temperatures during September, October, and November. An application of a complete fertilizer con- taining nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium at a 4:1:2 ration, in early September will en- sure good growth during this period. Unless a severe nitrogen deficiency ex- ists, fertilizers high in nitrogen should not be applied after the end of September. Nitrogen applied in October will delay the hardening processes of the turfgrasses, and NEW IN TOWN and don't know which way to turn, call the CWC0/04(4). `T O hostess at 524-7165 or U 524-2544 increase susceptibility to winter injury. An application of potassium is recom- mended between mid-September and early October if the soil potassiwn level is low. Potassium promotes winter hardiness, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. It may be applied alone, but it is applied more frequently in a complete fertilizer, often in a 1:2:4 ration. Seeding and overseeding (seeding into an intact lawn) procedures are more suc- cessful when carried out from mid-August to late -September, than at other times of the year.

Turf injury heals quickly, and few weeds germinate in the injure(, area. Mid -September is one of the best times for broadleaf weed control. Herbicides are taken up quickly because the weeds are growing actively, and a good kill is obtain- ed. Most trees and shrubs have ceased shoot growth at this time, so the danger of injury from spray drift is minimal. Mowing should be continued until the grass stops growing. Allowing the grass to grow long in the fall increases susceptibility to winter diseases, and delays drying • Shop and Compare on your next furniture purchase • 40I 19) b Compare price, selec- tion and service.
