_ _ _ _Blue Water Rest Home
On Monday evening, the
residents were pleased to have
Mrs. Luther and her friend of
the Salvation Army visit the
Home and provide them with
several musical numbers and
readings.
We wish to say a belated
thank -you to Nete's Flower Shop
for the lovely floral centre piece
gracing the tea table for our
May Day Tea. We also wish to
thank Mrs. Martha Blackwell
for her generous donation of
rhubarb, cut, packaged and
ready for the freezer.
On Wednesday evening, the
Ladies of the Auxiliary held
their regular monthly meeting
at the Home. The committee
in charge provided a variety
program and those taking part
were Miss Mary Ann Vermont,
Miss Dianne Ducharme and
Master Gerry Ducharme. Fol-
lowing the program and preceed-
ing the business part of the meet•
ing, a delicious lunch was serv-
ed.
Bingo was enjoyed on Thursday
evening, also during the even-
ing, Mrs. Hotson's grandchildren
along with a number of other
children, visited the Home and
provided a very enjoyable
musical program. Everyone is
hoping they will plan to return
soon.
Please note the change of time
for our chapel service this Sun-
day evening, June 13, when the
films we mentioned in previous
columns will be shown in the
Chapel at 7.00 p.m. Rev. A.C.
Blackwell will be in charge of
the service. Everyone is wel-
come to attend.
Final plans are getting under
way for our first annual straw-
berry festival to be held on Sat-
urday, June 26, at the Home
from 2.00 p.m. to 7.00 p.m.
Strawberry shortcake with ice
cream, home-made cookies and
a beverage will be served for
the fee of $1, 00 per serving.
During the afternoon, Desjardinel
popular band will be supplying
music for our visitors, we also
hope to have a gentleman from
Mitchell area entertain with
Swiss music on his accordian.
We are waiting for confirmation
of some other local talent which
we hope will be present with us.
This is a large undertaking and
we are depending on the support
of all the ladies of the local
organizations for help, and of
course we are hoping that the
weatherman will smile upon us.
All proceeds of this event will
go towards a small bus to be
used for the resident's pleasure.
The Sunday evening Chapel
service was conducted by Rev.
A.C. Blackwell of St. Peter's
Lutheran Church, Zurich. Miss
Christine Haberer presided at the
Chapel organ.
Huron i;' oard of Educatio Moves t
Stop Traffic in All School Yards
(by Shirley J. Keller)
A letter from the police dep-
artment of the Town of Goderich
advised members of the Huron
County Board of Education Mon-
day evening in Clinton that var-
ious kinds of motorized transport-
ation as well as horses have been
travelling on the playground of
Victoria Public School in Goder-
ich.
The letter was submitted "in
the hope that you could pass a
regulation in your bylaws to pre-
vent any type of a vehicle that
is driven other than by muscular
power to be prohibited from the
school ground area, before some-
one gets hurt."
It was suggested in the letter
that signs should be erected at
the school grounds advising
people that vehicles are forbid-
den on the school property.
Director of education John
Cochrane said that such policy
across the county could be help-
ful. He reported that $3, 000 in
sodding at the Wingharn school
had been destroyed through the
winter by snowmobiles.
Mrs. J, W. Wallace, Goderich,
said she had had a report of a
car travelling a full speed right
across Victoria school's play-
ground recently, about seven
o'clock in the evening.
"It is just a miracle that no
one was killed, " she concluded.
A suggestion to seek the co-
operation of the public, most
especially snowmobil clubs etc.,
was advanced by Dr. Alex Ad-
dison, Clinton.
The board has agreed to draft
tentative policy regarding the
situation, to investigate the
cost of signs for the county
school yards and to approach
public organizations advising
them that school property should
be off-limits for motorized
vehicles or horses.
In other business, the board .
announced the resignations of

THERE'S 3 CHOICES
AND HE LIKES NONE
Boy, show me a silver lining
these days and I'll show you a
dark cloud.
It's only a couple of weeks
since I was crying the blues
about being stuck with a jobless
child for the summer, and wish-
ing my daughter could find work
in this slim summer for students.
She has a job and she likes it.
It's waiting on tables in a smart
hotel dining -room, overlooking
the water. The pay's not much,
but tips are fair.
She has learned the joy of
coming home with her apron
pockets loaded with quarters,
dimes and nickels, and arrang-
ing them in neat little piles,
and counting them over and
over. Anyone who has ever
worked as a slavey knows the
sheer, Scrooge -like delight of
counting tips.
But there!s always a catch,
and in this case, I'm the one
who has been caught, and not
for the first time.
The catch is that the job is
about ten miles from home, and
there is no transportation to and
from. Bus service is strictly from
the stone age, and it's too far
to take a cab and take any mon-
ey home.
I guess I don't have to draw a
picture. Good Old Dad. It's not
the money I mind (about $1, 00
worth of gas, and five dollars
depreciation on the car - most of
the journey is on a highway und-
er construction.)
It's the fact that she starts
work at 7.30 in the morning.
We are a one -car family, She
doesn't have a driver's license,
so it's up at the crack of 6 a.m.
except on those occasions when
I haven't got to bed yet.
Good Old Mom can also drive
the car, but she always seems to
have the vapours at 6 a.m.
I have two alternatives, One,
have Kim get her driver's lic-
ense, in which case I'm stuck
without a car all day. Two,
buy a second car, let her use it,
and fork up price of the car, lic-
ense and insurance. The latter,
considering what she'll probably
earn, would put us about $500 in
the hole for her summer's work.
How do you like them for'alt-
ernatives?
I've scrabbled desperately at
other solutions. I might be able
to hire a boy to take her our and
pick her up for about $4.00 a
day, plus gas. That doesn't seem
too proritable, and he'd prob-
ably rack up my tired 1967 mod-
el.

I could physically kick her
mother out of bed and make her
drive. But I haven't the guts to
do this at 4 p.m., let alone at
6 a.m.
I could let her hitch -hike.
But I don't like girls hitch -hiking
at 7 a.m. (That is, I don't
mind the girls, but the hitch-
hiking.) Why, she might be
picked up by some renegade
and I'd never see her again
(That, on second thought, would
solve the problem.)
Ah, it's just one of those rot-
ten little problems that will
have to sort itself out.
rve got another problem today
I haven't felt so tough since the
Germans beat me up about
twenty-three years ago.
Did you ever fall down a mine,
shaft? I hadn't either, until a
couple of nights ago. At least I
thought it was a mine -shaft.
Drove some people home, Into
their driveway. No lights out-
side the house. Invited in for
coffee. Stepped out the driver's
side and straight into an excav-
ation nobody had mentioned.
Tore a quarter -inch of skin,
tissue and muscle off my left
palm. Sprained the thumbs on
both hands. Raised a lump the
size of a baseball on my left
thigh. Twisted my right knee.
Hit my chest on something else
and have a great purple -and -
gold bruise that hits me like a
spear when I cough.
Can barely manoeuvre a stairs,
but apart from that, feel terrible,
But good thing I'm a tough old
nut. Scrambled out unaided,
dripping blood and bad language.
It makes the transportation
hang-up recede a little.
Receives Support
Director of education John
Cochrane reported on communic-
ations from two agricultural
bodies, the Federation of Agric-
ulture for Huron County and the
Huron County Pork Producers.
Both organizations expressed their
support for the stand the board
is taking in the present salary
negotiations with their teachers.
The following is a portion of
the letter from the Pork Producers
"There is 2200 registered pork
producers in Huron County who
are not receiving increases these
past few years in the price of
their product. Therefore in no
way should any select group of
people in Huron County feel
they should receive increases in
their salaries beyond the raise in
income of the people that have
to pay for their services.
