Judgement
Mr. Editor,
Our son and his friends are
stars! Their happy faces
Get your
metric plans
Keeping pace with the
construction industry, the
Canada Plan Service now
provides plans of
agricultural structures in
metric units.
The Canada Plan Service
provides detailed plans of
modern farm buildings,
livestock housing systems,
storages, and equipment.
Plans are available to far-
mers, contractors, and other
members of the agricultur,A
indus try.
In the past year, 50 of the
500 plans available were
converted from imperial to
metric units, says Jim
Arnold, Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
agricultural engineer.
Other metric plans will be
available as existing plans
are revised, and as new
plans are developed.
"In the next three years,
most of the popular plans
will be available in metric
units," says Mr. Arnold.
"However, plans will be
available in imperial units as
long as the demand exists."
"We are preparing forthe
day when we will be dealing
exclusively in metric units,"
he says. "The ready -mix
concrete industry now uses
metric units, and the lumber
and steel industries will soon
change."
The whole series of trussed
rafter plans, now available
in imperial units, is in the
process of conversion to
metric. New plans for
braced rafter (hip) roofs are
available in both units.
Canada Plan Service plans
are designed by experts
from provincial ministries of
agriculture, in cooperation
with the Canada Plan Ser-
vice Design Center,
Agriculture Canada, Ottawa.
In Ontario, plans are
available from agricultural
engineers at local offices of
the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food.
Klungel will
seek re-election
In last week's story on
which elected officials
would be seeking re election
in Hensall councillor Harry
Klungel's name was in-
advertently missed. Klungel
indicated at that time that
he would be seeking re-
election.

graced our local newspaper
this past week. You gave
them recognition. They
joked with you about a
caption for the photo. You,
very loosely went along with
their eleven to thirteen -year-
old suggestions.
Considering the meanings
of the words "mob" and
"mafia" we are unhappy at
your immature act of
printing what appeared in
the September 28th Citizens
News.
We, as parents, know our
responsibilities are tough
enough. The local newspaper
has no right to make light of
the very serious implications
suggested by words which
these young boys don't fully
understand now and we
would hope they never would
comprehend them,
4-H club
trys granola
by Lori Turkheim
This past Wednesday, the
Metric Marvels, the local 4-
H club had their first
meeting of the year. The
night's activities consisted
of making granola through
metric measurements.
Following 45 minutes of
cooking, the girls discovered
that the changing of the
measurement units did not
change the taste of the
granola.
Therefore, Mr. Editor, we
ask that you apologize
publicly in the Citizens News
for irresponsible reporting.
In the future where moral
issues are at stake, please
consider the ramifications of
everything you write before
you hastily print.
Remember that most of us
hope to be assisting our
young people in growing up
to be responsible citizens of
the community. Let the
newspaper editor realize
that his improved judgement
can be an asset in sowing
seeds that develop good
citizenship.
Yours truly,
Marilyn and Ron Heimrich

Look for "S24" or "SR"
preceding the serial number on the
corner of your maturing bonds.
2 Find out the cash value
of your bonds
At maturity, every holder of "S24"
or "SR" bonds will receive the face
value shown on the bond, plus a special
cash bonus payment and any interest
payable on the bonds.
If you have any questions about
the value of your bonds, just ask the
people where you bank or invest.
in connection with the redemption of
your bonds will be done for you at that
time. For "S24" bonds the transfer of
funds will take place automatically on
November 1.

sign up for the new 1978/79 Series
Canada Savings Bonds. You may
reinvest all proceeds from your
maturing bonds in the new Series.
Also, you may buy an additional
amount up to $30,000, the
purchase limit of the 1978/79 Series.
It's a great way to keep your money
working for you!

Canadians who own maturing bonds. If
you are one of them, go to your bank,
investment dealer, trust company or
credit union and make arrangements to

Bonds. Do it now and avoid the rush!
3 Special arrangements
make it easy to reinvest
Simply present your "S24" and
"SR" Series Canada Savings Bonds to
your bank or other authorized
redemption agent. All the paperwork
New Canada Savings Bonds offer you a great choice
With the new Series, you have a
choice of bonds. There's a Regular
Interest Bond that pays interest each
year. And a Compound Interest Bond
that reinvests your interest automatically,
earning interest on your interest.
The Regular Interest Bond
If you want a regular annual
income from your inYestment you'll
like the Regular Interest Bonet which
pays interest automatically
each November 1.
If you're like many bondholders,
you'll appreciate the direct deposit
feature. With this convenient option,
your interest is deposited directly into
your chequing or savings account.
Simply ask for it when you buy your
new bonds. Or, you can receive your
interest by cheque through the mail.
The Compound Interest Bond -
If you seek savings growth, or
an investment for the future, or a
retirement fund, you'll choose the
Compound Interest Bond which earns
interest on your interest, after the first
year, at the guaranteed annual rate of
8.90%. For example, a $100 bond will
grow to $181.74 at maturity in just
7 years.
Security and instant cash
Whichever type of bond you
choose, you will own a safe, secure
investment which can be turned into
instant cash whenever you need it.
Agood return
New Canada Savings Bonds are
dated November 1, 1978 and yield an
average annual interest of 8.90% when
held to maturity in 1985. Each new bond
earns interest of 8.50% the first year and
9% for each of the remaining 6 years.
Buying Canada Savings Bonds
has been a great Canadian tradition for
over 30 years. They're the proven choice.
