Preparations are underway for the
Midwestern Ontario Farm Toy, Doll,
Craft and Quilt Show, set to take place in
Seaforth on Sunday, December 3.
Hosted by the Seaforth Agricultural
Society, the show has gained a reputation
around and beyond the area, as one of
the biggest events of its kind, despite the
fact it is only three -years -old. All parts of
the show are expanded beyond last year,
and all parts are again filled to capacity.
Most popular attractions from last year
are being carried over to this year's
show, so visitors will again have the op-
tion of free skating from 12 noon until 3
p.m., visiting for a while with Santa
Claus, partaking in a lunch put on by the
Egmondville United Church, or simply
wandering around and checking out all
the displays. The event runs a little
longer than last year, with doors open
from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Organizers
urge people to come early in order to
view all that the show has to offer.
The doll show, new to the event last
year, has expanded and will occupy the
main hall of the Seaforth and District
Community Centres. Among other things
it will feature miniature houses and
shadow boxes as well as all the items to
complete these articles, and the tools to
make your own. Other special attractions
will include the presence of a modern
and antique soldier and calvary display,
miniature porcelain dolls, and a number
of stuffed toys and dolls.
The Farm Toy Show, which was in the
main hall last year, has also expanded,
and will be housed in the new Fair Board
building on the Agricultural Grounds. It
provides a wide variety of farm toys of
every scale, and an excellent opportuni-
ty for introducing that someone special to
an ever growing hobby that lasts a
lifetime.
The Quilt Show will be hpused again in
the Round House, and a variety of quilts
from crib to queen size will be on
display.
The Craft Show will be housed at the

Huron board to look at smoking i schools
BY NEIL CORBETT
Soon there may be no smoking in
Huron County schools and other buildings
owned by the board of education.
The Huron board, at its Monday
meeting, considered the provincial
government's Bill 194, An Act to restrict
Smoking in Workplaces. The act allows
for employers to consider policies of their
own, and the board is consulting with its
school staff on the subject.
As of January 1, 1990 the government ..
legislation will .take effect, and it says no
person shall smoke in an enclosed
workplace. Employers can make provi-
sion for a designated smoking area,
which does not exceed 25 per cent of the
total floor area of the workplace.
Trustees debated whether or not all
buildings should be declared smoke free,
or if smoking areas should be allowed. In
the past each school was allowed to
make its own policy.
Goderich Trustee Norman Pickell is in
favor of banning smoking in schools and
