MINUTES On a three month trial minutes from special boards and committees will be circulated at council committee meetings as background information. Clerk Jim Crocker said he didn't know if the minutes would be available to the press as well. The groups involved are: community centre management and build- ing; fire area board; BIA; area landfill committee; planning advisory; LACAC and the PUC. Finance charges, which accounted for part of last year's deficit. are much lower this year, a review to July 31 by the finance committee' showed. For 1983 they were 55,026, compared to 517,568 for the same period last year. A request from the community centres building committee that Seaforth share, with the other four municipalities involved. a full page ad thanking canvassers and listing their names was not approved by the finance committee.

Jane Lane, supervisor at the Wingham Day Care Centre explained "Parents will be asked to pay in the range of 520. per day which is the actual per diem rate." The future of day care and day nurseries was the topic of conversation at he September meeting of the Huron Count) Community Services Council. Valerie Bot ton, chairwoman of the council explained "day care is funded by three levels of government, -federal, provincial and muni- cipal, so the whole issue is very complex. But essentially what it comes down to is that the provincial government is phasing out its support to day care and parents will be forced to pay the full cost for their children unless they qualify, for social assistance. "Getting social assistance will require an interview with a social worker from Huron County social services and the family income has to be quite low to qualify. "1t will close our centre" said Karen McEwing,'Supervisor ,of Tuckersmith Day C rr Centre at Vanactrn "We have sortie of the ministry of tourism and recre '•discuss. the upcoming community,.confer,• encs. - Successful playschool, playground and teen programs were completed this summer. As well the tennis courts have been resurfaced, and rec director Bryan Peter reported many compliments on the results. Total cost is $10,345. Grants of $5,345 and $1,177.34 from the Nielsen Field Classic, leave $4,167.66 as the town's share. Fall and winter programs include ballroom dancing; puppet workshops at the Van Egmond House and fun 'and fitness for teens at Vanastra. The Arthritis Society notified council of its canvass in town, the week of Sept. 12. OPEN DITCH Council received a letter from Dave deVries about the filling in of the open ditch along his property on Gouinlock St. There are two drain outlets from his property into the ditch. One is capped and he will be capping the other and does not want an outlet to the 'tile. Mr. deVries would like to meet with the project's engineer when he is in Seaforth. The low tender of Seaforth Motors for a Ford l -ton truck was accepted at $4.995. The other tenders were Bill McLaughlin Motors, 55,919 and McGee Motors, $5,970.60. Reeve Campbell. who had received a newsletter from the South Western Ontario Travel Association, wondered why, if Sea - forth belongs at a cost of $50 a year, the only local events listed were the fall fair and, Ciderfest. No one was sure Seaforth belonged but deputy clerk Luanne Phair said the Agricultural Society and the Van Egmond Foundation do. Clerk Crocker said he'd check with the rec director for background on the listings. - The PUC is pleased with recent tests of its hydrants. mayor Alf Ross reported, and repairs to the water tank were successful. County Council spends $143,700 to recon- struct and pave one Km of road. reeve Campbell reported. The cement pad from the old arena will be removed before paving starts at the new community centre parking lot, councillor Johnston reported. Curbs and gutters will be installed later. children who are subsidized by Huron County Social Services but there will notbe enough of them to keep the centre full:" Most council members agreed that thisis a humiliating experience for people to have to apply for assistance and give an acebnnt - of their family finances. Pat Bailey, Deputy Reeve of Wingham and member of the Wingham Day Care centre board of directors, is angry about the proposed cuts. "Only a few years ago the government built this beautiful centre and funded it 100 per cent. Now they are simply willing to turn their backs on it and let it close down." She encouraged council members to indivi- dually write Minister Frank Drea and Premier Bill Davis to protest the cuts in funding. ,Council members supported the day ,care workers by passing a motion to write a letter of protest and send copies to MP and MPPs. In other council business it was decided to hold another information day in November which will be open to the public. The information day will include workshops, films and displays from the various county agencies. Management is the atiott to difference between success or failure' CIDERFEST BIA plans for Ciderfest include a pancake breakfast Saturday morning. entertainment through the day, and tours of Cardno's Hall and Sills Memorabilia Parlor councillor Paul Ross said. The BiA will organize a Christmas party for merchants and staff and g BIA members' dinner with Nick Hill speaking on the downtown heritage conservation district plan. NO REPORT There was no report from council's rep to the hospital board. Council passed a resolution to the Liquor Licence Board authorizing the fall fair plans for a licenced facility. A regulation requiring this has been in existence for some time, but apparently the LLB has just started to enforce it, clerk Crocker commented. Council pays for August were passed: mayor Ross, 5315; reeve Campbell, 5275, plus 5109.40 for expenses at the AMO convention; deputy reeve Bennett, $245; councillors. Hildebrand 5320 plus 5152.20, expenses, AMO convention; Johnston, 5200; Martin, 5155; Mero, $110; Ross, 5245 and Ellis, 5110. Councillor Henry Mero, the chief of police and either the clerk or deputy clerk were authorized to attend the Municipal Police Authorities conference, which deals with bargaining. Oct. 12. 13 and 14. BY H.G. NORRY, P. AG. "Nobody rests when Grandma is around, and least of all, Grandma" said her daughter-in-law fondly. "i hate to admit it but I almost have to rest up to prepare myself for one of her visits. She's 80 and I'm only 50. Nevertheless, I am pleased that she trained her children and through them, her grand- children, to be good man- agers of time." "What On I do to help?" is her first statement when she arrives. "Hello" may be the second. "I'm going to be here for a couple pf weeks," she says "so can you give me a rough idea of all the work that should be dont . Then i can plan my work accordingly. i ,can't work as hard or as long as 1 could a few years ago so 1 have to do more planning." "But don't worry. if Bill needs help in the fields or the barn, you help him and i'Il look after the work around the house. i see that you have just finished the washing. But there must be mending. Show me where you keep it. Mending is.always useful to fill in those little bits of time that might otherwise be wasted." The management of time is one of the factors that makes the difference between suc- 'cess and failure on Ontario farms. It is one of the biggest. A farmer may have outstand- ing knowledge and the best of records and still end up a failure if he is not able to manage well his own time and the time of his family and employees. it doesn't matter how much he knows or how thoroughly he records if he does not get the work done - and done on time. This requires work and planning. Managing time, particular- ly as far as larger farms are concerned, is not merely managing time so that all the work is done, it is also making sure that there is sufficient work to be done to effectively RATION Field Test The Latest Tractors & Plows Your Way...

Which jobs " are flexible as to time and which must be done at proper time of year or time of day? Farm managers who plan in advance can estimate in Jan uary the labour requitement§ and labour availability and can budget time for the entire year. Long term budgeting of time is important. So is the day to day management of time, the straw -boss manage- ment. It is in this area where persons such as the Grandma referred to above are most valuable. Someone in the family or business has to know the jobs to be done; has to think up new jobs to be done; and has to mobilize family and hired help to get the work done. When some- one such as Grandma is around people are not trying to figure out at 10:00 a,m. what work should be done that day; and there is only minutes:hesitation when the work plan has to be suddenly changed. On many successful farms, husbands and wives share the "straw •bossing". Husbands may have more information as to the work that must be done in the barns and the fields. Wives may be in closer contact with sons and daugh- ters and be better able to make sure that their time is gainfully used before and after school and on weekends and holidays.S and holidays. To satisfy Revenue Canada and to justify to them the salary or share of income allotted to a wife, it is sometimes necessary to spell out the income producing work actually done by the wife. Managing or bossing is one important duty that is often overlooked. Wives do a lot of this and do it well. Thank you, Grandma, for helping your offspring to be good managers of time.
