Joan Chesney, Darlene Hetherington, Jane McNaughton, Mary Coyne and Joyce McClure -all emergency staff- have been busy making 1,017 easter eggs they are sell- ing for $2 each, to participate as a group in the hospital expansion fundraising campaign It took them 13 evenings, about four hours per night to make all the eggs, and from it they hope to realize $1,500 after expenses, to be donated to the building fund. Mrs. Chesney says Darlene Hetherington came up with the idea to make and sell the eggs, and the emergency staff's hope was to be able to pre -order enough Easter eggs to make it worthwhile "I figured if we got orders for 500 we'd be doing well," says Mrs. Chesney, "but we got 467 in the first week, I couldn't believe it." The chocolate eggs are triple the size of a regular egg, have a yellow and white cream - filled centre, and are decorated with a rose of icing and the customer's name written in icing Mrs. Chesney says the emergency staff will be making the eggs again. next year and in the third year of the fundraising campaign Each of the hospital's departments have been doing fundraising activities. The lab staff held the winter interlude earlier in the year, and on May 20 and 21, the Victoria Day weekend, physiotherapy, maintenance and pharmacy will be hosting a rummage sale. Purchasing and housekeeping will be offer- ing breakfast on the same dates. The rum- mage sale, dubbed the spring lawn sale, will be held on the hospital lawn, weather per- mitting. Everyone in the community is welcome to support by donating items and shopping for others. To donate or get more information contact Yvette Binnendyk in pharmacy, or Carol Hunt, Mary Margaret Nash or Carol Bowker in physiotherapy. EASTER EGGS were the hospital emergency staff's fundraising contribution to the hospital budding fund.

Some maple syrup makers there is great exposure to drying winds may- the total cost per litre of syrup, for an have already tried a few taps in the Seaforth be at a greater risk . , operator with 1,000 taps, excluding operator area labor and management, was close to $7. "The study the ministry did last year shows there is a profit to he made ui the maple syrup business and that may have en- couraged some people to get into it," Mr Butler says. 'There has been brisk action at equipment suppliers., A number of nes operations are opening up, and existing ones are expanding.'" In Ontario, an estimated 90 per cern o: maple syrup production is sold by producer: on their farms. About six per cent is sold in bulk in the wholesale industry and bulk pro- cessors, while the remaining four per cent is used on home farms. It takes up to 40 litres of maple sap to make one litre of maple syrup. Maple taffy , - maple butter and maple sugar are other products from maple sap. The challenge maple syrup producers face is making sure consumers are familial with their product. "Many Canadians come from countries- where ountries where they never heard -of maple syrup. Ef- forts are being made to do special promo- tion, and education through schools." butthe season wil, soon begin in earnest, and many are wondering how the sap will be running this year John Butler is the provincial maple syrup specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. and he has some ideas about how the past veartii weather will affect the sap run, According to Mr. Butler the past season's mild winter shouldn't have any detrimental affect on the sap run. He says there are many winters on record in which there was virtually no snow, but there was still a de- cent run of sap in the following spring. One weather factor Mr. Butler is less sure of is the drought last summer. "It is possible that last 'year's drought may have an effect, but we won't know until we see the run at the end of the year," he says. "It was an additional stress on the trees and it may affe0t the sugar content in the sap." Mr. Butler adds that the effects of the drought may be felt, if they are felt at all, in varying areas of the county. Trees in a site where there is shallow soil, in a site where •4,.

"Ninety per cent, success or failure, will be determined over the next few weeks," he says. If there are warrn days and frosty nights over the maple syrup season, Mr Butler predicts it will be a mostly successful season regardless of other factors, Mr. Butler adm& it is difficult to set ex- acttemperatures needed for a good sap run, but says if there is a good frost the night before, then the mercury reaches five degrees celsius or higher the following day, sap should be flowing.
