Vandalism at
post office
The lobby of the Bayfield
post office, containing the
lock boxes will close at 7
p.m. because of vandalism
according to Clinton post-
master Wayne Wigelsworth.
The lobby which was open
24 hours a day, seven days a
week until vandals caused
$500 damage a few weekends
ago, will also close at 1 p.m.
Saturday and will reopen at
8:15 a.m. Monday morning.
The lobby began closing at
5:30 p,m. March 13, the same
time as the post office itself,
until Wiglesworth asked the
department of public works
to allow the lock box area to
remain open until 7 p.m. at
which time the department's
caretaker could lock the
building. The later closing
time enables Bayfield
residents who work
elsewhere to pick up their
mail.
Wiglesworth said 'Van-
dalism occurs on an average
of about eight times a year at
various locations around
Clinton but normally there's
not much physical damage,
usually just a mess.
"At Bayfield it was
because of physical damage
and monetary cost that we
reduced the service."
Public works area
superintendent George
Lauzon estimated the
damage at $500, including
burns to a floor that will have
to be replaced and a wall to
be repainted.
Wigelsworth said a poster
on the wall was partially
burned and could have set
the building afire because it
extends to the ceiling.
Police apprehended two
juveniles but released them.
Sooner or later it's going
to be later than we think.

On
o Foods
y they should be the first ones to
look for when you shop...
And h you findthe:,,
Ontario's farmers give us some of the
finest quality food products and some of
the best food values in the world.
That's why Ontario's Ministry of
Agriculture and Food has developed
this new Foodland Ontario symbol to
help you find them.
It will help you identify the superb
Ontario -grown foods for sale at your
store. Their value and quality alone are
enough to make them 'best buys' on
your shopping list. But there are other
good reasons why you should look for
this symbol.
Ontario's farmers and their
families make up only 5% of Ontario's
population. Yet our farm neighbours
produce some 200 food commodities
worth $3 billion a year. Like the rest of
us, our farmers look for a reasonable
standard of living for their hard work
and often risky investment. In return
they offer their Ontario neighbours
'wide variety of high quality farm
products at fair prices.
We still import more food into
Ontario than we export. Our trade
balance would be much better if we
consumed more of our own farm
products. By doing so we could ensure a
good livelihood for our producers. And
we'd have increased activity and
employment in our large food
a
processing and retailing industries.
We'd also assure the continued best use
of our prime farmland.
The benefits are for all of us. We
all have an investment in the
continued good health of our
agricultural economy. It's not just
sentiment for our family farm heritage
-- it's plain common sense. We should
protect and reinforce our investment in
Ontario through our shopping choices.
Buy the fine products of Foodland,
Ontario. Look for them wherever you
see the Foodland Ontario symbol.
Good Things Grow In Ontario.

Minister of Agriculture
and Food.
