T$ • , BLUE WATER REST HOME If we can just keep the sun shining as it is today, and with the daylight hours gradually lengthening, perhaps spring isn't as far away as we might think. Since we were unable to have our own films delivered on Monday because of severe weather conditions, the people of Maplewoods were good enough to let us have some of their films for showing Monday evening. I am sure the groundhog made it out to see his shadow on Wednesday since it turned out to be one of the sunniest days we have had all winter. Last week the Ladies Auxiliary's 10th anniversary party had to be cancelled because of the daily complaint, snow. The party has been re -scheduled for Tuesday, February 15th at 7:00 p.m. As we mentioned previously, all ladies of the community who might be in- terested in the work of the Auxiliary have a special in- vitation to attend. Helping hands are always in demand for organizations such as these, and we think you might enjoy the social aspect of our Auxiliary as well. Please circle your calendar for Tuesday evening, February 15th at 7:00 p.m. and we'll all hope for good weather. This Thursday, February 10th at 2:00 p.m, and 7:30 p.m. the old favourite, "Ma & Pa Kettle go to Town" will be , shown at Maplewoods Apartments. We hope the weather will co-operate for a change. Friday evening bingo was played followed by refreshments. The Sunday evening chapel service was conducted by Rev. John Campbell of the Church of God, Grand Bend. Soloists for the evening service were Miss Kathy Steckle and Mr. Douglas Steckle. Snowbanks a hydro hazard Ontario Hydro's regional manager E. G. Bainbridge issued a warning today that some of the hydro facilities, lines and transformer stations, may present a hazard because of the high snowbanks. "Large snowfalls and high drifts have combined to reduce the clearances between electrical wires and the ground, so that persons can reach them more readily." Mr. Bainbridge also said that in some parts of Southwestern Ontario snowdrifts have piled along fences at transformer stations making dangerous high voltage equipment accessible, especially to children. "I've asked our seven area offices in Western Region to be on the lookout for these hazards and arrange, where possible, to clear the snow away from the tran- sformer stations," he said. Hydro urged customers to avoid poles, lines, and other installations, and to call the nearest hydro or PUC office when one of these hazardous situations is noted.

A narrow pathway has been cleared on this Hay township road and the tip of the farmers tractor can just be seen. Photo by McKinley Labor management, workshop. "A good farm employee without any responsibility, is an employee looking for a new employer", says Jerry Kreuter, Farm Labour Traing Coordinator for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Mr. Kreuter will be conducting a Farm Labour Management Workshop for farmers Centralia College on Tuesday, February 15. With farms becoming larger and more specialized, the farm family may find they need extra help to get the work done and to get some time off themselves. However, many farmers are reluctant to hire someone to help them. There are the problems of finding a reliable, competent person; paying a competitive salary, providing housing, keeping extra records and so on. For the worker there's the image of "hired man" and its lack of status in the farm community. If a reliable farm work force is to be developed, it must start with the employer. Most farmers have never worked for anyone else and may not see things the way an employee would. But good labour management is not something person is born with -- it's a skill that can be learned. And a skill that may be more important than the wages paid. A recent study showed that farm employees usually change jobs for reasons other than wages. Farmers who hire farm workers, are urged to attend the workshop on February 15. The program will cover employee recruitment, training, working conditions, authority and responsibility as well as main- taining employee records. Farm wives are welcome. The workshop starts at 9:3C a.m. in Huron Hall at Centralia College, Huron Park. For further information or to register for the workshop, con- tact: Doug Jamieson at Centralia College, 228-6691.

Learn to conserve These days, a lot of people are talking about energy and energy- saving -- so much so that some people admit they no longer think about what they will cook and eat tonight. Their first consideration is how they will cook it. Then they choose the food. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and! Food, encourage you to join in and think this way. Plan menus so that if the oven is to be used, it can be used to cook the whole meal. Select recipes that will cook at the same temperature. For example, you could start the fruit pie baking at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C), pop the potatoes in to bake, add the breaded pork chops or casserole, and while everything cooks --make a salad. The meal will be ready, the kitchen tidy! Oh, it's a good night to heat the buns ... the oven is being used. Try to cook as many things together as you can. Even if you have the time to bake the pie earlier in the day, save energy by cooking it while the oven is busy with other dishes. ROYAL TRUST APPOINTMENT BRYAN G.
