Member Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation ORIA„d GREY TPUST COMPANY SINCE 1889 Plan for achievement The Horne Economics Branch of the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food is again holding 4-H Homemaking Club Achievement Days in Huron County. The girls are participating in the current 'project, "What Shall I Wear?” The project has helped the girls plan their wardrobes with a clothing bud- get in, mind. The club girl has learned how to select clothes to suit her figure type, considering lines, colours and textures of fabric. Each memb- er has made a blouse which will harmonize with her ward- robe. Miss Jane Pengilley, Home Economist for Huron County, will be conducting the following Achievement Days in this area: Crediton Area Achievement Day at Stephen Township Central Schoo, April 19. Exeter Achieve meet Day, South Huron High School, April 26. Zurich Area Achievement Day, Zurich Publ- ic School, May 3. All friends and relatives are invited to attend the afternoon program which begins at 1:15 p.m. The girls will be present- ing slits and exhibits on various topics related to this club. Your presence will show your support for the young people in the County. COVER STRAWBERRIES You can shorten the wait un- til the first strawberries ripen this year; by covering the plants with a plastic tent in early April, the fruit will be ready 10 to 14 days earlier than usual. "The plastic provides a greenhouse affect. so the plants will bloom sooner, " explains Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food Horticulturist, D.M. Sangster. Construct a wooden or wire frame over the strawberry row and attach polyethylene to it. Although two mil polyethylene works well, four mil polyethyl- ene is easier to work with and lasts well, four nail polyethyl- ene is easier to work with and lasts longer. Anchor the plastic along the sides of the frame- work at ground level by laying both its edges in furrows and covering them with soil. Once the strawberry plants begin to flower, ventilate the plastic tent during warm days to aid pollination. "Ventilating is easy, " says Mr. Sangster. "Simply lift the plastic between three and four inches along the sides, turn it up, and secure it to the outside of the frame." If frost threatens during the bloom period, cover the plastic tent with blankets for the night. Remove thele the next day. About people Mr. and Mrs. Herb Mouss- eau, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Parkins, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Erb and Mr. and Mrs. Don O'Brien attended the wedding of Kim Black, son of Mr. and Mrs. Reg Black in Tillsonburg last Satur- day. To accept all students Catholic students who apply to attend one of the Huron-Pertt separate school board's 19 schools will be accepted and provided with transportation, even though they may live out- side an area organized for the direction of taxes to the system, trustees decided last Monday night. The policy was adopted on the recommendation of the board's policy and by-law com- mittee, chaired by trustee How- ard Shantz, of Stratford. , Goderich trustee Virce Young commented that the policy was rather broad. "We would poss- ibly have to travel 15 miles in one direction to pick up one student." Business administrator Jack Lane, agreed that this was possible in some areas of the twr counties but he suggested that each case could be judged on its own merits. I -Ie said a broch- ure that the board has distribut- ed to newcomers and real estate offices, listing locations of Catholic schools in the two counties, has encouraged Catholic supporters to check with the board's office about school accornrnodation before buying property. He suggested the board could check out bus routes with the public school board and would not necessarily have to provide special bus or taxi accoiuinod- ation. A second policy, on trustees possessing keys to schools and the board office was passed with one amendment. An old policy that board members may possess keys to schools in their area was reaffirmed. Two new policies provide that the chairmen of each stand- ing committee can have a Rey to the board room to facilitate holding committee meetings and that keys to schools may be picked up at the board office or from the principal by standin „..committee chairmen were also passed. A log book at the board office will be provided for com- mittee chairmen to sign keys in and out. After some discussion, a third policy, on school photos was passed. School principals will be permitted to 'select one photographic company to make one visit a year to each school to take the students' photos. Trustee Francis Hicknell of Dublin said he would like to see class photos taken each year. Kippen area trustee Michael Connolly suggested "We should tender and get a photographer for all the schools in a business like way. Trustee Joe Looby of Dublin suggested that a survey be done for the end of the year. on how many pictures and what type were taken at all the board's schools, so that perhaps a new policy could be worked out for next year. Trustees agreed to consider the matter again for next year. The board's metric commit- tee is holding meetings, Director of Education John (continued on page 20) Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER 4a.. Driving to Mexico in a new car? No trouble finding lead- free gas, according to Pemex officials. Look for a platinum grey pump and the words "Unleaded -92 Sin Promo". A rubber company suggests we change cars' belts and hoses every two years instead of 24,000 miles. Seems that though people may be driving less, rubber products deteriorate with time. * Recent survey indicates that drivers, especially young ones, are turning' to cars with manual transmissions - because they're more fun to drive. We're. old enough to remember when they were condicered a nuisance. Warm weather and beach season again - in shore areas, protect bumpers, wheel covers and trim from salt air with a good chrome cleaner and a coat or two of long-lasting wax. Dieseling? That's when the engine keeps on running after you turn off the ignition. • How many miles do YOU drive a year? If your car has reached the high -mileage, high -expense age, maybe it's time to trade in for a new one at Larry Snider Motors.
