Centennial Plaque Designer Pleased With Results of Sales to Retailers Things are "going very well —better than I expected for this time of the year," Ken Breakey told us when we talked to him on Wednesday morning. The Zurich television sales- man and repairman has de- signed and prepared for sale an authentic Can a di an souvenir which he hopes to sell across Canada this Centennial 'Year. To date, he has orders from jewellery outlets in Little Cur- rent, Espanol a, Collingwood, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, North Bay, Huntsville, Gravenhurst and the surrounding area. He's also had inquiries from park commissions in Eastern and Southern Ontario. "We're pretty well saturated the local market," said Mr. Breakey, who is particularly pleased with reaction here. As for getting his unique souvenir into Expo, Mr. Breakey has discovered that only one Canadian souvenir ,concession will be in operation at the world's largest exposition. "Every country in the world has souvenirs except Canada," says Mr. Breakey. Twenty-eight countries are advertising prod- ucts from those countries for sale - Canada is not among them. However, there may still be a possibility that his all -Canadian souvenir will be accepted for sale at Expo—and in other dis- tricts across the nation. The enterprising Mr, Breakey is ex- pioring all avenues. Yoti can't sit back and ex- pect them to come to you," he remarked. Farm Limon Hears Ontario Organizer Walter Miller, vice-president of the Ontario Farmers' Union, told about 150 people at a meet- ing in Zurich last Wednesday that about 90 per cent of the farmers in England belong to the National Farmers' Union there.

He said the tractor demonstrations last year by the milk producers did a great deal to improve the farm- ers' image and ind ease the in- come of the princes' milk producers, . Formation of a ...4eef market- ing board in Onta,io, he said, would put a stop tp back door beef sales, Mr. Miller recommended that OFU dues should be increased from $10 to $20 annually be- cause locals cannot operate ef- fectively with revenue from the present rate.

Funeral service will be Fri - High School Board Hears of Trouble In Heating System The board at South Huron District High School learned last Wdnesday evening at its regular meeting that existing heat lines in the original build- ing may be in need of repair. Lloyd Lampert,' for the prop- erty committee, advised that in October, 1966, the construction crews exposed some of the ex- isting heating lines and found two to be badly corroded. The insulation around the pipes, where they turned upward into the radiators, had rotted away allowing moisture to work on the metal. In the original buildings, the lines were buried in the ground below the floor. It is believed that without digging up all the lines, it is impossible to know if the corrosion is localized or is a general condition. The property committee rec- ommended that since action may not be necessary, the cost- ly project be delayed. for the present time, Although the board will not subsidize the students in any way, it granted permission to Principal L. D. Palmer to ar- range trips to Quebec City and. Expo for groups of students this year. Rate of remuneration for a driving instructor was set at $5 per hour and for a classroom instructor, $7 per hour; the school administrator was grant- ed an increment of $300 with effect from January 1, 1967.
