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.

FARMERS CLEAR THE ROADS — Some farmers found they would have to dear the township roads
themselves if they wanted an exit from their farms as township crews bogged down. A narrow pathway has
been cleared on this Hay township road and the tip of the farmers tractor can just be seen.

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.
