The townships, who must have submitted appeals by Nov. 1, are Tuckersmith, McKillop, Morris, Stephen and Howick townships. Reeve Ervin Sillery of Tuckersmith Township told council his township has already appealed their assessment "to be on the safe side." He said they can withdraw the appeal later but "we wanted to protect ourselves and see what comes out of it later on." There has been a great deal of concern that factors for rural municipalities have decreased to a greater extent than they have in urban municipalities across the country. This means costs to rural taxpayers arc expected to increase much more rapidly than to urban municipalities. The provincial government had put a freeze on assessment in the early 1970's, and the price of land has increased drastically since then, particularly in rural areas. Reeve Allan Campbell of McKillop Township asked on what grounds an appeal could be made. He admitted land prices in his township had risen from $300 an acre to $1500 an acre, for farmland in recent years. He also said, "I'll admit the towns are too low (in their assessment)." Another member of council called out, "Sit on it!" Bill Hanly, Huron County clerk -treasurer, said it's very doubtful if any municipality in the county has grounds for appeal of the equalization factors. He said he thinks the township councils willhave great difficulty in proving that these factors are wrong and "there may be a great many more arguments why they should be higher." Reeve Eileen Palmer of Goderich said she read recently that no municipality will be subjected to an increase of more than five More skaters enrolled The Blyth Figure Skating Club has another season in full swing. Registration is up from last year and at this time 63 are registered for figure skating and 18 for power skating. Registrations for both are still being accepted. The club has two instructors this year, Debbie Pettit of Goderich and Julie Twynham of Seaforth. Debbie has been teaching professionally for 3 years and is with the Blyth Club on Tuesdays and Fridays. She also teaches two days in Lucknow and 2 in Clinton. Julie is in her second year as pro. She comes to Blyth on Fridays for Power Skating and Senior Figure Inside this week Nurses attend Huron Meeting , .P. 7 Foster Parents honoured P. 12 New Llbrary for Huron County . P. 10 Skating. She is also in Brussels for 3 days and 1 day each in Clinton and Scaforth. There are seven members from the club attending coaches clinic on October 28 in Lucknow for the day. These clinics are held so that the senior skaters are more adept at helping the pros with the beginners classes. The clubs expenses this year for ice Time and Pro fees are $2400.00. Since registration does not meet expenses the club is trying to raise money in various ways. Tickets are being sold on a sheepskin rug, courtesy of Bainton Ltd. The draw is to be made on November 6 at the arena so get your tickets now. Donations. of $100.00 from Blyth Eastern Star; $50.00 from Londesboro Lions club; $50.00 from the Auburn and District Lions club have been received, Following are the test results of Oct. 23. Receiving their beginners badges were Julia Shaddick, Theresa Knox and Steacy Elliott. The following passed both beginners and stroking -Gloria Moffatt, Darlene Glousher, Kerry Ann Pletch. In the senior division the following passed Free Style 1 -Susie Walsh, Margaret De Boerr, Lynn Macdonald, Lisa MacDonald, Marilyn Archambault and Angela Nethery, Michelle Aitcheson passed Dance 1, per cent in their assessment, She said both increases and decreases will be cushioned over a five year period. Reeve Roy Williamson of Grey Township said land prices in his arca have gone up about 10 per cent and so his council didn't feel they could appeal the equalization factors. Jack Stafford, deputy -reeve of Howick Township, said in reference to the assess- ment paying educational costs that "people services should be paid by people and not land values." The deputy reeve said he wasn't denying land prices have gone up, but asked, "Why should land have to pay education costs?" Reeve Cal Krauter of Brussels indicated he wasn't sympathetic to the plight of the rural municipalities and said "business taxes have been 10 to 20 mills higher than farm taxes for some years." Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township said he knows the farm tax is lower compared to the municipal tax rate. But he said even for farmers getting 50 per cent of their taxes rack, "it's still a hell of a big tax bill if you own 200 to 300 acres (of land)."

But many of us have only an inkling about the multitude of needs the donors help cover, Mrs. Ted Fothergill, Lon- desboro, brought in a story printed in the Age Dispatch, Strathroy about her sister Dianne Palmer and a disease that she suffers from, Although I had never heard of Lupus, the only remedy to the disease is a complete replacement of Diane's blood every month, Lupus or in professional language Lupus Eryther- matosus is a rheumatic dis- ease and doctors describe it as the body fighting itself. Antibodies in the blood at- tack the blood vessel walls, Diane contracted this dis- ease seven years ago and after years of pills and con- stant rest and care she is only just now leading a relatively normal life, Lupis is a fairly common disease; more common than muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis, or leukemia, Despite the commoness of this problem very little is known about it.

Blyth CWL Attend The regular monthly meet- ing of St. Michael's Catholic Women's League was held at Theresa Machan's. The meeting was opened with a reading by President '[ hcr- csa Machan. The roll call was members stating what they gained from attending the Stratford Deanery CWL meeting in Clinton on Wed- nesday. Approximately one hundred and fifty ladies attended with eleven from St. Michael's, Blyth. The minutes were read by secre- tary .1. Cronin. Due to the absence of treasurer Mary Hallahan there was no report. Correspondence was read from "The Church T.V. program", invitations from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to attend 4-H Achievement Day on December 6 in Hullett Public School, and a course on Nutrition and Cooking for me or two in November. The Catholic Women's League is going to attend on Nov. 21. An invitation was accepted to view Mrs. Haine's slides on the"Holy Land" Nov. 29. The CWL feed the Lions Club on Nov. 22. There will be no open meeting in November due to so many other activities. Guest speaker for the evening was Tina Bos, a qualified teacher in Billings Method of Natural Family Planning. It was made a motion at the Deanery meet- ing that we set up a task force or ad hoc committee by the CWL Parish Councils to get some publicity for this much misunderstood method of family planning. Marjorie McMahon agreed to head the committee for Huron.,want- ing a representative from each CWL parish. council to assist her. There is no literature available so anyone who is interested should phone the Huron County Health Unit in Clinton the first Thursday of each month when a qualified teacher is present at the Clinic.

The meet- ing adjourned with lunch served by the hostess Theresa Machan.

Many people the nation over suffer from any one or all of these symptoms and yet it is not until the latter stages that the disease is diagnosed. When Diane first was told of what she had the only help was nledicaiton, including cortisone, But after all the medication (42 pills per day) the end result was more terrifying that the disease itself. She suffered from loss of hair and finger nails and above all the drugs were carcinogenic and as a result Diane had to have a hysterec- tomy. 'I'hc concept of replacing the blood is a recent exper- iment, The theory is that the antibodies gather in the blood plasma. By getting rid of the plasma every month and receiving in turn fresh frozen plasma by means of a special machine it is an- ticipated that the disease can be controlled. Diane has been under this treatment for two years now and spends 'our hours every month having her blood changed. Her doctor's goal is to get her off all the pills she is taking. At present she is down to three every other clay. It is not inherited, yet some family members m,, be susceptible. A province wide group is working to spread knowledge about this disease, Most of the research dol- lars come from the Arthritis Societywithwhich the lupus association is associated. Diane is living a relatively normal life now due to the dollars put into research for answers and blood donated by concerned people, This is just one case of many people who depend on the generosity and concern of others. Next time you have the chance to give blood don't hesitate, You may need the same service in time to come.

These seemingly worthless articles, from any country, are sold in bulk by the Scarboro Fathers to stamp dealers to help finance mission projects throughout the world. In 10 ,nonths I have received over 100 lbs. of cane elled postage stamps, in small quantities, in very Targe quantiti es, from schools, service clubs, companies, individuals, etc, They add up quickly if everyone collects them for me.

Chmay The ghost of the Stephen Truscott affair refuses to die. One could almost feel a collective shudder last week as the 20 year-old murder again took over the front pages of daily newspapers. The people of Clinton have to go through it all again. It was 20 years ago this past summer that the body of 12 year old Lynne Harper was found in a bush outside Clinton, Since then Clintonians have barely had a chance to forget the subsequent events of a murder trial before someone is bringing the subject up again, And so last week again the reporters descended on Clinton to question the natives about their memories about the murder, The latest round of interest is caused by the newly -released book Who Killed Lynne Harper, by Bill Trent, a writer who has made a mini -career out of the Truscott story. For the second time he pleads that Truscott was not guilty and that justice was not only not done, but deliberately sabatoged. Was Steven Truscott guilty? 1 don't have enough of the facts to know for sure? Innocent people have gone to jail before because important evidence was somehow overlooked, Guilty people have gone free before. Guilty people have proclaimed their innocence to the end, Easter lily blooming at Viola Haines home To the editor: Thank you donors On behalf of the Red Cross and the Kinette Club of Clinton, I would like to thank the people of the area for coming out to the Blood Donor Clinic in Clinton. The response to our plea was overwhelm• ing as 229 units of blood were collected. Thank you to anyone who helped in any way. Yours sincerely, Volunteer Chairman, Bev Riley Behind the Scenes by Keith Roulston Growing up in the area I remember the Truscott case. 1 was young enough that 1 didn't know what it was about it that had some of the older boys snickering but I do remember thinking how horrible it would be to be that boy, only a couple of years older than me and being put in jail. I think that's part of the reason so many people will rush out and buy this new book. Many of us want to believe the boy was innocent, that a 14 year old boy was incapable of such a horrible act. He was a small-town boy, a kid just like your own son, your own brother, the neighbour's kid, maybe even like yourself. How could someone like that do such a thing? Surely it must have been some demented vagrant who carried out this dastardly act and let the boy take the rap. Well Steven Truscott, guilty or innocent has taken the rap and is free from all but his memories. He lives today under a different name with only his family knowing his past. But the town of Clinton still suffers. And every time the people try to put the murder behind them they only do more to keep it alive. Reporters descend on the town and start asking questions of the locals and the locals are tight-lipped and the reporters immediately think it is some small-town conspiracy to hide the truth and go back and write stories to that account giving credence to the theory that people are hiding the truth that could set Steven Truscott free. During the years I lived in Clinton I saw the near paranoia that had overtaken the people of the town of Clinton. I was there when another murder took place with another young boy charged. Out came the comparisons in print to the Truscott affair. Out came the stories that talked about two murders in 10 years and made the town sound like murder city. Out came the reporters asking everybody in sigh't about this murder or the one just over 10 years earlier. People began to think that the only time a reporter from outside the town came to Clinton was when he was snooping for scandal. The mere sight of a television news car or a daily reporter with photo- graphers at his side was enough to make people nervous. Here we go again, they said to themselves, For awhile all the fuss since the original trial has been in favour of the idea that Steven Truscott was innocent, it has also been that the town itself was somehow guilty of something. The various books have cast doubt on the local medical authorities, the jurors, local police officials, everyone in any way connected with the case. Books such as the new Trent book seen to hint that there is a conspiracy, that there is even fear in the community, that people know who really did the murder but want to pin in on the boy, The irony of it all is that 99 per cent of the population had probably never even heard of either Steven Truscott or Lynne Harper before the. murder, They lived in that other world at the air base south of town, a separate town with its own housing, recreational facilities and even its own school, The murder didn't take place in the town either but in the country between the base and the town, The provincial police were involved in the investigation not the local police. The town of Clinton was hardly involved at all and yet it has carried the stigma for the last 20 years. The supreme irony for the last decade has been that the Truscotts, the Harpers and all the other air force personnel are now gone, The old air base is now turned to other uses, The people most involved in the case are no longer there, But it's the people of Clinton who still suffer, Pardon them if they want to forget Steven Truscott, THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 31, 1979 — 5 Interest table enjoyed at Pot -luck On October 24th Members of Unit One of Knox United Church Women arrived at the church with their guests to enjoy a bountiful potluck dinner.

Now that does not quite have the mellifluosity of poet James Lowell Russell's famous: "What is so rare as a day in June?" But it makes a lot more sense to a Canadian. A day in June? It's a zilch. Heat wave, mosquitoes, and the grass growing as though it were trying to reach the moon. Twelve-hour day for the farmer. Water too cold for swimming, except for kids, Weeding the garden. Now a day in October is something else. Provided, of course, October is behaving itself. Once in a decade, it becomes a little tired of being the finest month of the year and throws a tantrum, in the form of an 2arly snowfall. But any month that combines Thanks- giving, Indian summer, duck shooting, last of the golf on lush fairways, great rainbow trout fishing, and Northern Spy apples will take a lot of beating. Mornings are cool and often misty. By nine a.m., the high yellow sky is filtering, from an ineffably blue sky, through the madness of color, the breath -taking palette that is this country's autumn foliage. There is a stillness on a fine October day that we get at no other time of the year. We can almost hear old Mother Earth grunt as she births the last of her bounty: squash and pumpkin and rich red apples that spurt with sweetness when you bite into their crisp. Along with the sweetness and ,sunniness of October, there lurks a little sadness. We cling to each golden day, trying to forget what follows October, the numbness and dumbness and glumness of November, surely the lousiest month on the calendar. 'thanksgiving is, in my mind, the finest holiday weekend of the year. though it has lost much of its "holy nay" effect and has become a bit of a gluttonous family reunion, a last fling at the cottage, or a final go at the ducks, the fishing, and the golf. Perhaps we don't express it, except in church and in editorials, but 1 honestly believe that the average Canadian does give a taciturn "thanks, God", at this time of year. Thanks for the bounty. Thanks for the freedom. Thanks for being alive in a great country at a great time of year. I know I do. October is so splendid, with its golden sun, its last brave flowers, its incredibly blue sky and water, its panorama of vivid colors in every patch of trees, its clear air, that every poor devil in the world who has never experienced it should do so once before he dies. We Canadians are the lucky ones. We see it and smell and feel it every year, for a brief but glorious taste of the best in the world. It's a great month for the gourmet. Besides the traditional gut -stuffing of turkey and pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving dinner, there is a wealth of fresh produce that doesn't yet cost an arm and a leg, and hasn't degenerated into the sodden, artificially colored stuff we have to put up with in winter and early spring. Potatoes are firm and taste of the earth. There are still a few golden peaches on the stands. Apples are crisp and juicy, not like the wet tissue affairs we buy in January. There are still lots of field tomatoes around, before the frost. Can anything be quite as delicious as an ice-cold tomato, right off the vine, eaten over the kitchen sink so you won't slobber all over yourself in your greed? Is there anything to beat a butternut squash, halved and baked, with a big gob of butter working its way into the flesh? And there's always the chance of a meal of fresh trout or roast duck. Though I must admit that they are becoming scarcer all the time, thanks to that infernal invention, the deep freezer. The sportsmen who used to drop around with the odd duck (the flying kind), or a fresh rainbow, are now socking them away in the freezer, and forgetting their old friends who have become a little too decrepit to crouch in a blind or wade to the bum in ice water. Sob. Hint. For the housewife, October is a re -gearing for action. The kids arc out of the way, her summer tan' is shot, so it's time for redecorating, joining organi- zations, buying some smart new clothes. And a greatchance, with the earlier darkness, for hectoring the old man, who can't escape to golf or sailing or fishing, and is stuck with her evenings until the curling season begins. For the athlete, it's perhaps the finest time of year. The weather is ideal for football, cross-country running, and still fine enough for tennis and golf finals. For sport fans, . those adults who fantasize by watching large, strong, young men do the things they were never much good at themselves, it's a cornucopia of goodies: football in full swing, world series ditto, and the hockey season under way. Buttocks will batten through October as millions of middle-aged males remain firmly fixed before the idiot box most evenings and all weekend. You know, writing a column like this is really asking for it. We had such a glorious September we don't even need Indian summer. By the time this appears in print, the ground will probably be knee-deep in snow, there won't be one ragged leaf left on a tree, and the ducks and geese will have chosen a new flyway. But I don't care. That's how I feel about October. THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 31, 1979 — 7 Huron needs land to attract industry BY ALICE GIBB Spence Cummings, Huron County development officer, told members of Huron County council on Thursday, that land must be made available immediately to encourage industrial development in the county. He told council he hopes to catalogue available land in the county this winter so complete data will be avail- able by the spring of 1980. Mr. Cummings said his staff have already worked on the Vanastra area and find that "although property owners want to sell their land, they will not put a value on it until they have a buyer in front of them." He said although his department has the property listed, they don't know its value. The development officer also asked council to consider giving his department more money in the future to advertise Huron County. He said, "We need to put the county towns and villages before the public by news• paper and specialty maga- zine advertising. We need to let the executives of com- panies in Canada, as well as the United States, know that we have land to settle an industry on in our towns and villages." • • Mr. Cummings said $3,000 was currently budgeted for advertising but that his department needs about $15,000 to do an effective job in spot advertising. He said in comparing notes with other economic development officers at a recent conference he found firms are hesitant to make committments because of the current high interest rates. 50 nurses exchange information Fifty nurses attended a meeting of the Huron County Chapter, Registered Nurses Association of Ontario on Monday, Oct. 22. They were from Exeter, Goderich, Clin- ton, Seaforth, Lucknow, and Wingham. The professional organization includes nurses working in many areas of nursing including hospitals, community health, nursing homes, industry and teach- ing, The evening began with a chinese dinner and during the meal members ex- changed ideas on their area of nursing and also became aware of concerns in other fields of the profession. It helped to draw the nurses together and make all aware that although they may work in diverse fields the goal of all is the same, good nursing practice. Guest speaker was Ms. Maureen Powers, Executive Director of the Registered Nurses Association of Ont- ario. Ms. Powers, who holds a Master of Education Degree, was formerly Direc- tor of Nurses at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa. Describing the wide range of activities the R.N.A.O. is involved in, Ms. Powers told of the benefits derived by all nurses, not just members of the organization, from their efforts. While there are eighteen thousand nurses who are members by their own choice, the voice of nurses could be given great- er strength if all nurses in the province were aware of the great value their involvement and membership could. ,pro• vide she said. The goal of the R.N.A.O. is to improve the delivery and quality of health care for all citizens of Ontario, from birth to death. To this end the organization offers opportunity for members to improve their skills, by work- shops and conferences, and to keep up to date on new techniques and trends in nursing practice. The RNAO is also involved in the drafting and presentation of briefs when legislation con - corning health care is con- sidered by the government. During the evening tickets were sold on a sheepskin rug which was won by Judy Thurman of Exeter. The next meeting of the Chapter will be held on November 19th at the Clinton Hospital. Miss Joyce Shack will outline sonic of the current issues before the association and resolutions will be drafted for present- ation at the annual meeting selection of carpets by Coronet 8 Statesman Paint & Wallpaper & Flooring Blyth, Ontario He said companies are hold- ing back, waiting for a more favourable financial climate before expanding. However, the development officer said established Canadian firms who have an export market are finding business is booming since the devalued Canadian dollar makes our goods very sale- able on the American mar- ket. He told council in the past year there have been expan- sions in some plants in the county, as well as plant closings. He said although the county lost employers when plants like Gay Lea (egg grading station) in Seaforth closed, "we hope that eventually these excel- lent buildings can be filled again in the near future." Mr. Cummings said his biggest worry in the develop- ment area is still Vanastra "which has lost more indus- try in the last three years than any other community." the development officer said he had been trying to interest the federal government in the community and "al - hough they profess sym- pathy, they do not do any- thing about it." He said a recent proposal by a local MP and Tucker - smith Township council that Vanastra be used as a training centre for the Viet- namese "boat people" settl- ing in Canada, was turned down by the federal govern- ment. Obitu ary FLORENCE A. HIGGINS A lifetime resident of Morris Township, Mrs. Gordon Higgins of RR5 Brussels died Friday, octber 26, in Wingham and District Hospital in her 81st year following a lengthy illness.

Greeting a Targe morning congregation, including numerous visitors, were Stewart Ament and David Webster. Sharing duties of ushering and receiving the offering were Allan and Brian Young and Gordon Carter, Assisting in the evening were Bill Carter and Bill Young, Mrs. Winona McDougall was at the piano for duets with Mrs. Kai at the organ br the prelude and hymns at Ila.m. In the evening, Mrs. Wasson accompanied on the piano for the opening hymn sing. Mrs. Wittch's solo was "Thanks be to God " and Mrs. McDougall was her accompanist. Guest preacher for these special services was a former paster, Rev. Arthur Watson, now a counsellor at Mohawk Coll-ge, Hamilton. The Watson s ministered here from 1954.1958, and were in Blyth when the present church was dedicated in 1962, and he returned as an.tiversary speaker in 1966 as well. Mr. Watson for the children's story, showed the boys and girls a piece of paper on which were the letters HABIT. He pointed out that everyone has bad habits that need correcting and we need to work hard to get rid of them. He dropped the H, but there was still A BIT of a problem, and there was still a BIT when he got rid of the A. IT was still around after a further strugle and the B was gone. If we work at just having good habits we'll find we have the t (cross) and Christ to help us. Paul's Validictory address to the Elders of the church at Ephesus was the scripture Mr. Watson chose, with the text for his sermon "Feed the Church". Time was when the Church was the community and the aommunify was the church. The dilemma now is how to meet that challenge adequately, Too often doubt and discouragement and an inadequate feeling keep us away. Mr, Watson outlined how we can "Feed the Church" today. We need to fortify our Faith, Faith based on secondary issues make us drift. We need intelligent, understanding Faith, realizing love, truth and goodness come from God, Jesus provides the strength we need and the Bible is our spirtual and moral authority. Our best assets are Faith in God, in Christ and ourselves. We must speak out for the church, and waken from our lethargy. Stand firm for the church, talk it up as we do service clubs and our businesses, Those who are lukewarm in anything, don't accomplish what is needed. Be a good salesman saying "I've got something that you need and you can't get along without it." Support the church. Even sinners were brought to Christ's fold. Carelessness and apathy demonstrate a vote to close the church, It take faces, life and action to keep a church going. It takes fuel and a crew to propel the Christian battleship. The church is not a monument but a movement, full of spirit, wonder, glory, grandeur and power. Rev. Watson titled his evening message "What Mean These Stones?" These are direct words found in the 4th chapter of Joshua. Old Testament people really suffered to display their Faith. People knew the meaning of the markers left through lives and countries. Mr. Watson had gone to great lengths to trace the history of Blyth Churches, and of the "Stones, laid in Faith, in Blyth." What is their meaning?" The Methodist cause in Blyth dates back to 1861, and was part of the Goderich circuit with Rev. Peter Campbell, the first minister. In 1868, Blyth became part of the Wingham circuit. When the first church was built on Queen Street, the church was full for 3 services every Sunday, and the opening of the church was celebrated by a dinner attended by 600 persons.

Mr, Watson was minister here when a campaign got underway in 1956 to raise money for the present church building. It took a lot of frayed nerves, and faith and hope and love to accomplish the project, 24 Methodist minister and 6 Presbyterian ministers (prior to union in 1925) and since that , several United Church ministers have laid the stones of life in this present congregation.

Robert Scott If I tell you that the Day of Judgement is coming on a certain day at a certain time, don't you believe it, Jesus tells us, in the Bible, that we do not know the day or the hour so we must watch and pray. (Mark 13:32, 33) All we know is that such a time is to be expected. Jesus said he would come again, in visible form, descending from Heaven. He told us there would be wars and rumours of wars, perse- cution of the Church, false prophets and other signs to indicate that the day of judgement was at hand, As we look around us today we see indications of just those events Jesus pro- phesied, But the Kingdom of God has not come yet. The Day of Judgement has not come • yet. Was Jesus wrong? Why is the second coming taking so long: Why hasn't the Day of Judgement come? There are some people who will rush to tell you about how God, if He exists at all, either doesn't know what's going on in the world or doesn't care. Others are quick to add that God is powerless to do anything about the evil of the world. They say: "Surely He wouldn't allow evil to con- tinue if He could put an end to it." The Bible says differently. It is not that God is ignorant or indifferent or powerless to act, God has delayed His final judgement out of love; out of love for YOU, dear friend. He wants you to turn away from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, if you have not already. The end of which the Bible speaks has been delayed on purpose to Up in stitches meet The Auburn 4-H club "Up in Stitches" held their fourth meeting at the home of Mrs, John Hildebrand, The min- utes were read by Diane Hanna, The members were shown their last two samp- lers stitches - the cashmere Auburn manse opened londesboro A cheery fire in the fire -place welcomed visitors to an Open House at Knox United Church manse last Sunday afternoon, Oct. 28th. Members of the congregation were welcomed at the door by Mr, and Mrs, Richard Hawley and invited to tour the house. A tea table in the dining room was centred with an arrangement of chrysanthemums and daisies flanked by yellow candles. Pouring tea were Mrs. Kenneth McDougall and Mrs. Hilliard Jefferson, The members of the United Church Women, Mrs. Barry Miller, Mrs. Stuart Chamney, Mrs, Peter Verbeek, Mrs. Gerald McDowell, Mrs. Ted Robinson and Mrs. Tom Jardin worked behind the scenes in the kitchen.

We are so wrapped up in today's lives we forget these foundation stones. Stones are memorials. He ended with these words "God be thanked.

"The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness, He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance," (II Peter 3:9 NIV) The Bible advises us to: "Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means sal- vation..." (II Pet. 3:15 NIV) God gives each and every one of us an opportunity to be saved. If we all took advantage of that opportun- ity, what a great day tomor- row and all •the rest of our days would be. Have you taken the opportunity God gives you to be freed of the burden of your sins? If not, you can invite Jesus to be your Saviour today, He will hear your prayer. Confess your sins. Invite Jesus into your heart and then thank God for the opportunity He has given us to be saved. ***** Rev.

A tender of $87,810 was accepted from Bratt Con- struction Co, Ltd. of Hyde Park, Ontario. The next lowest tender for the reno- vations, $97,393 was submitted by Frank Van Busse) and Sons, Ltd., R.R. 3, Lucan. When the church was purchased by council last spring, it was told a number of renovations would be necessary to bring the building up to the required standards for a public facil- ity. The building was pur- chased for $70,000 and it was hoped that with the reno- vations, the total cost to the county would be $100,000, That figure has now risen to S169,000, if a number of items are deleted from the renovation, The price of constructing a loader conveyor for books will be an additional $3,500 over and above the tender price quoted for renovations, Although the construction costs are higher than origin- ally proposed, the architect's fee will remain the same, at $5,670. The firm Snider, Reichard and March of Waterloo arc supervising renovations to the building. Among the items which were deleted were construc- tion of an asphalt driveway, the front entry. and metal soffits, eaves and down- spouts. The library headquarters will remain in their present Lighthouse Street location until renovations at the former church are com- pleted. The present lease expires at the end of Decem- ber, but the landlords have agreed to extend it. The library is presently paying $1,000 a month rent at the Lighthouse Street location, Reeve Ervin Sillery of Tuckersmith Township, past chairman of council's prop- erty committee, told council the committee pretty well had to accept the lowest tender since everything was in order. Another council member asked why no local contract- ors had bid on the renovation contract. Clerk -treasurer Bill Hanly said a bid bond was required with the contract, and local contractors indicated they had enough work ahead where bid bonds weren't necessary. There are now 28 branches in the Huron County Library system, now in its 12th year of operation. Circulation in 1978 was 367,093, well up from 1977. One of the, main, problems with the present library headquarters has been the lack of storage space for books circulating in the county system. Walton visitors Mrs. Jean Broadfoot has arrived home following a visit with relatives and friends in London. Mrs. Sadie McDonald was a recent visitor with Mr. and Mrs. Reg.

When the duck leaves to feed, the down is carefully pulled over the eggs until they are entirely hidden. Insulation is important to early nests as cold weather frequent- ly endangers the eggs, particularly if the duck is flushed off the nest and is unable to return for some time. Second nestings (due to Toss of the first nests) will contain much less down.
