It seems not so long ago that when' a-,
reporter was assigned to cover a Monday
evening town council meeting, that
reporter could count on a rather lengthy
evening in the council chambers courtesy
of our venerable municipal politicians.
Hardly an item escaped the council table
unscathed, meaning that some
meaningful dialogue usually ensued.
That's, hardly the case anymore as
evidenced by Monday's regular council
., meeting. An entire agenda was disposed
of in just 19 minutes which must establish
some sort of a municipal record, if such
valuable records are kept by anyone.
Donate $50
Council agreed to donate $50 to CARE
Canada, in response to a request from the
organization. CARE employs 2,000
workers spread over 36 under -developed
countries around the world where they
carry out self-help projects designed to
improve health, nutrition, education and
employment for thousands of the poorest
people in those countries.
Consider funds
Council has asked the administrative
committee to deal with a financial
request from the Huron Historical
Society. Council already made a con-
tribution to the society this year and the
committee was instructed to ensure the
donation would be for the 1984 calendar

year. The non-profit society keeps annual
fees low to encourage membership, while
providing money for awards to
elementary students for historical
exhibits and for the production of Huron
Historical Notes. The society is the only
group attempting to search out,
catalogue and protect historical
material.
Hope to meet
A final brief outlining the need for a
new seaway depth harbour was
presented to council at its last meeting.
Mayor Eileen Palmer said that the town
has contacted the office of Transport
Minister Lloyd Axworthy for a meeting
to discuss the multi-million dollar
project. "If we dontt hear from hits, we'll
push from our end," she said.
Traffic study
Next Monday evening the works
committee of council will meet at 7 p.m.
in the council chambers to discuss the
joint -traffic study presented to council at
its November 28 meeting. The committee
will review the study and make
recommendations to council.

Ontario Hydro has announced that a tingle
voltage filter, developed after two years of
research, is the key to solving stray voltage
problems experienced by Ontario farmer's.
Bud Barrett, Hydro's manager of Rural
Service, says the filter produces excellent
results after an extensive testing program.
Priced at about $350, the device prevents
tingle or stray voltage, coped by electrical
equipment failures or improper grounding,
from entering a farmer's livestock
buildings.
Agri -oil -tura' research shows that ff uncor-
rected,
nco -rected, tingle voltage may cause loss of milk
production in cattle and a reduced growth
rate in livestock.
Working with the Ontario Milk Marketing
Board and the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture, Ontario Hydro spent about
$100,000 developing the filter.
Hammond Manufacturing Co. Ltd. of
Guelph is marketing the filter through their
electrical distributors across the province.
Barrett says installing a filter makes good
economic sense.
Beware of clanger in toys
During the holiday season, children could
aspirate ornaments or toys that mask their
potential danger behind a face of fun.
The delicate plastic Santa Claus dangles
on a low tree bough, enticing the two-year-
old boy. He grabs it, puts it to his mouth, and
realizes it isn't candy. Surprised, the
youngster tries to sit it out. But it cracks,
and a portion of the plastic lodges in his
windpipe or is aspirated (inhaled) into his
lungs. It's a possible tragedy in the midst of
fun because aspiration of foreign objects is a
leading cause of death and injury among
children under six years of age.
Holiday time, with attention -getting or-
naments, decorations and parents
distracted by dozens of activities, is a par -
denial peraud iue . �:uus tod-
dlers who instinctively grab for objects and
put them in their mouths.
What can parents do to keep preschoolers
safe? The Ontario Lung Association sug-
gests:
' Do not place tiny ornaments on low tree
boughs where a youngster can grab them.
* Tell Santa Claus to bring presents that
do not have button eyes or tiny car wheels
that can come loose.
Keep small "finger food" such as
peanuts and popcorn, off low coffee tables
when you entertain. Food also can be
aspirated.
At this joyous season, your Lung Associa-
tion wishes you and yours a happy and
healthy holiday.
e falter
"If farmers suspect tingle voltage is af-
fecting their production, they shoal( contact
their electrical contractor. The contractor
can install a filter for them and make any
necessary repairs to farm wiring," he said.
Farmers can contact their local Ontario
Hydro office for further details.
