°Bob Watson, owner of P.helans Place Ap-
pliance Distributors, says .the building his
.,Seaforth storeis in isup for sale,, arid the end
of :his five-year lease is approaching, mak-
ing it a good 'time to close the store.

Phelan Place building.
GEORGE OF BRUSSELS
George of Brussels Hair Design will be
closing its doors at the end of the month.
Owner George Langlois says he has three
salons and it is "becoming too much," but
says the store has been doing fine.
"It was a tough decision, and it's
something we've been discussing for a
while," says Mr. Langlois, "but there's not
enough me and too many places."
Mr. Langlois has operated the store in
Seaforth for the past six years, and Will be
keeping stores in Brussels and Wingham.
Ken Cardno, owner of the building, says
he has no current plans for the soon to be
vacated space.
NORMA JEANE'S
Norma Jeane's, "the only purple store in
Seaforth," will also be closing its doors at
the end of May. Owner Marilyn Engel has
changed her original plans to move back to
Seaforth, and will for now be staying in
Toronto.
Manager Freddie Smith says in the past
six months since the store opened sales and
traffic have been good, and she feels
Seaforth could use a store 'like Norma
Jeane's.
ANsTErr JEWELLERS
'While three stores are dosing, all is not
bleak in Seaforth's commercial district.
Anstett Jewellers recently finished
renovations which were started last spring.
In .that time the store has been painted and
an awning put up autslde, and the store en-
trance was redone and pine walls and floor-
ing.installed in ,the display windows. Inside
new show beds and jewelry display pads
have been added, pine shelving has been
constructed, a new ceiling was put in,
drapes and window dressings put up, and
the latest addition was new carpeting.
Cathy Anstettsays the renovations repre-
sent a decision by Anstett Jewellers to
.upgrade its existing six stores rather than
expanding into new ones.

sional standards of care that she had .on her graduation day.
R.N.A. DAY: R.N.A. Day, May 12, celebrates dedicated staff that take pride in the "hands

up or transported to the hospital. As well as breakfast to enjoy, a bake sale will also bepro-
vided by staff. Hope to see you there! !

Garbage man crushes equipment
. Thousands of dollars worth of electrical
equipment was crushed in a garbage pick up
snafu.
A couple weeks ago a man was at the
Seaforth Community Hospital to test the
newly installed., transformers which supply
the building with .electricity. He had his
testing equipment in what looked to beet bat-
tered old suitcase, and set it next to the
hospital's garbage bins while running some
-errand.
Before the tester could return the garbage
collector showed up and threw what he
thought;looked,like "a battered -up suitcase"
onto the truck with the •rest of the hospital
-garbage. He crushed it with the rest of the
garbage.
By the time the tester missed his ',suit-
case" and caught up with the garbage truck
there was only enough left -of his equipment,
valued at ,between $10,000 and $15,000, to
show to an insurance agency.
