In the agreemeeett, it was stated the purchaser agreed to pay the veendor SO cents per cubic yard of gravel and the parties would agree that thesale price of the gravel clueing the first five year period could be re -negotiated at the request of either party upon giving to the other 'party thirty days notice of such a request. Another portion of the agreement stated that Morrie could not resell the gravel or assign ' any of its right without first notifying the vendor. Council was worried about the 30 day `notice. but Mr. Dalton indicated that he wasn't going to try and re -negotiate right aveay. They also indicated the clause that said they could sell to another municipality but they already are selling to Brussels. Mr. Dalton said they could add the village of Brussels on the clause if they wanted to.

Council stated that they could get the gravel cheaper elsewhere. Council got a letter from the County of Huron Land Committee (which used some recent severance ap- plicatione as examples) asking if the township was prepared to alter its request for a 66 foot road allowance. The land committee was wondering about a 25 foot road allowance and easement rigeeement. "-I think we just write- back and say we understand It's not lawful. and that an easement is only in force for 21 years (on a severance application)." Reeve Bill Elston said.

How do you freeze fruits such as apples and peashes for use in a pie" • MrsPJ Halifax, N S. A. Light colored fruits such as apples and peaches turn brown readily due to ,oxidation. You can slow down oxidation by sprinkling enough cut-up fruit for one pie with Vtspof ascorbic acid dissolves; in 2 tbsp, cold %water. Toss the fruit well and .set aside for 5 minutes Next mix to - pellet ergar. salt and flout, according to your favorite pie recipe, but add 04-1,1 more flour than called for. This is necessary since frozen fruits give off more mice than fresh fruits and will result in a "runny" pie if more ertickening is not added Toss .this mixture with your fruit and mea- sure the amount needed for each pie. Freeze each pie tilling in a plastic - lined pie plate and then reniove filling and put . into a medial -size -heavy - duty freerer bag, such as the Glad variety.

If the foot pad is worn badly,' it could mean three things - (1) The previous 'owner rode the clutch (which could mean a clutch job), or (2) the tractor has liad a lot of use, or (3) the .tractor has had a loader on it, all of these could be costly. (5) Check the play in the clutch. A clutch that doesn't engage until it is near theitop could mean a clutch job. (6) Check the engine oil. If it is a milky colour, it means water has entered the oil.
