There's also the problem of trying to find something to buy everyone they won't already have, or you haven't gotten them sometime in the past. Stephen Murray and his wife Agnes have some gifts that are both original and inex- pensive. The Murrays are a retired couple ..living at, RR 4 Walton who have taken to wood carving as a hobby, and have been at it for the last 10 years. They make a lot of children's toys, such as miniature table and chair sets, doll houses, doll house furniture, cars, boats, animals, high chairs, and miniature barns—and they also have a good supply of woodcrafts for adults. They make,, among other things, lamps, plant holders, swinging cradles with canopies, stools, bird houses, key racks, weather vanes, and bowls. They have a huge variety of craft articles for sale. But- selling their crafts isn't what motivates the Murrays. "It's just something to pass time," says Mr. Murray. "It's not a big money making business. One of the couple's aims is to keep their objects priced reasonably enough they will be able to sell what they make, as well as keep their hobby going without too much e`x- pense to themselves, Lumber is so expen- sive now the couple has a lot harder time selling their goods at low enough prices, so they don't charge a lot of money for the time they put into making them. "If we charged much for our time it would get to be too expensive," explains Mr. Murray. In the 10 years the Murrays have been ac- tive in this hobby they have never taken any courses or 'education' hi woodwork. They have simply taught themselves through trial and error over the years. They did do work on their house, putting on an addition with the help of ater, and that got, them a good start on basics: It also got them a lot of their tools. • "We're not professionals by any means," says Mr. Murray,"but we try to do a good ' job." The arrangement they have worked out for the production of their crafts is Mr. Mur- ray does the rough work and Mrs. Murray does most of the painting and finishing. "We get all that we can do," says Mr. Murray of the amount of projects the couple • Tuckersmith The members of Tuckersmith Township Council were able to look over the new water tank truck for the Brucefield Fire Depart- ment when firemen Charles Broadfoot and Rick Burdge brought it to the municipal of- fice, Wednesday. The two firemen explained all the workings of the truck. Council Perms the petition of Heyink Poultry Farms Limited and William Rowcliffe for repair and improvement to the Mitchell Drainage works. R.J. Burnside and Associates (Stratford) were appointed to br- ing in an engineer's report 30 days after notificationtiztheAelservation Authorities.

They make a lot of the, articles on their own based on their Own ideas, or on things they have seen other woodworkers make., They 'also have 18 volumes on woodcraft full of patterns and ideas. • • They will also take orders to make things for people :or fix things., If you have something you want made and have a pat- tern for it, they can put it together. The Mur - rays also do a good deal of restoration work. People wI1t brintg them in an antique chair or something that has been sitting in their barn for the last quarter century and get them to repair and refWsh it. Mr.. Murray says you have to keep safety in mind a lot when you build toys for children. The type of paint you use is impor- tent for toys for younger children, who will likely have them in their mouth the second after they have them in their hands. The shape of the toy is important too, as there can't be a lot of sharp edges or things council exam House in f oderich. To date he is the only candidate seeking to succeed the present warden Brian. McBurney of Wingham. The children Can catch their fingers in. For toys like playpens or cradles the bars have to be close enough together to prevent children from getting their heads between them. The. Murrays keep the tools they need for their woodworking trade in the basement of their home. Among the tools they: use are a lathe, band saw, angle saw, benchsaw and drills. Quite a number of hand tools line the rafters along the roof. It is the need for these tools that Mr. Murray thinks drives people away from •woodworking as. a • hobby.' To even have enough tools to get a start at woodworking you have to be pretty serious about your. hobby. The Murrays also like to get out to a lot of craft shows. They don't enter their crafts in them, but they get a lot of Ideas for things to make from them. The Murrays were both born in Huron County and have lived and farmed here all their lives. Last month they celebrated. their 50th Wedding Anniversary. i nes 'truck 53 -year-old farmer has been on Tuckersmith Coun1981. cil since 1975 and has been reeve since Business area has changed A number of changes haVe taken place in the Seaforth Business Improvement Association (BIA) area ht recent weeks.

The cost to the board will he about. $6,000. The trustees are concerned about a pro- posal ' by the Ministry of Education to redistribute trustees based' on population rather than property assessment. Trustee Ron Murray of Dublin said this would not be fair to small boards as they will have fewer trustees to cover larger rural areas, If this proposal becomos law, Mr. Murray said the . Huron -Perth Board, could lose two trustees. Board Chairman David Durand of Zurich agreed with Mr. Murray that the board would be short-changed by redistribution but before writing the ministry to express the board's concern they should wait for Jack Lane, Superintendent of Business and Finance, to figure out which areas of the two counties will be affected. Mr. Murray said the ministry is not making provision for small boards and they should be keeping their same numbers as they are now.. Endorse Resolution The board unanimously endorsed the AIDS curriculum as developed by the In- stitute for Catholic Education. Bishop John Sherlock of London approved the use of the program itt the schools. It conforms to the expectations, desires and sense of faith of parents, priests and teachers Bishop Sherlock in his letter to the board said the program should be used in conjunc- tion with the Religion Education and Catholic Family Life program so it will be part of an integrated effort to form followers of Christ, committed to chastity and to the moral choices necessary to live a chaste life. The AIDS Education Committee apo pointed by the board endorses the program. It includes trustees, administrative staff, teachers, and parents. This committee is panning rppubbllic .meetings with parents beinpresenting program to the Grades 7 arid 8 students in the school system.- Bishop Sheikh stressed that parents must be given a Chaffee to revlew this program and express their opinions and to be allowed the option of withdrawing their children from the program if they choose to do so. He said the program is a truly Catholic tesPnnte to the scourge of AIDS on of thed Church and the the eserrtattlonc if --the human family. • Trustee Ernest Vanderehot of St. Marys said the board should hold meetings with the priests in both counties so they can give an'- notincetrietits in ChtirCh.
