County sets tax review committee A tax review committee of county council may well become a tax reform committee, At least, members of the tax review committee have been asked to make some recommendations for tax reforms .needed - after a thorough study of the taxation system in Huron is made.. The decision for a tax review came earlier this year when a county welfare system was proposed. Reeve Charles Thomas, Grey, said the rural municipalities were paying more than their fair share for welfare because taxes were paid on an assessment basis rather than a per capita basis. Thomas -noted that since the laigea population is concentrated in the urban areas of this county, the urban centres should pay more toward welfare, a service to people. ingvnaG.PP 67745,115FPic Selo a, Q ° o 77/k. ?Err SilArria' VeVICE" 7714F 5,394-5 V.EreamrAl Votf rQ ERae- /Milers" • bonusp interest Savings you move to Victoria and Orey in the period November 1 to.

ARCHER'S SALES & around the home are the Golden Carpet broom (Cytisus x beani `Golden Carpet') and the Royal Gold genista (Genista tinctoria `Royal Gold'). Both are similar in that they have golden pea-shaped flowers, but while the Golden Carpet broom hugs the ground the Royal Gold genista is four feet tall, very compact and blooms a week or so later. Both thrive in poor but well drained shady soils and hot sun. Tatarian honeysuckles are probably the easiest of all shrubs to grow. They are adaptable to most soils and thrive well in very open locations. They will also withstand drought and salt conditions. Two newer varieties are Arnold Red, with very dark red flowers on a plant that doesn't grow more than five feet high and Hack's Red, with larger flowers of a similar color but on tall 10-foot shrubs. The Goldfinger potentilla has deep yellow flowers and also the ability to produce them in profusion in May and to continue blooming, although more sparingly, all summer long. Then, as the weather becomes cooler in September, you can expect another spectacular display of golden flowers. For a change of pace I would strongly recommend the Mother of Pearl snowberry, a new cultivar with bluish-pink, instead of pure-white fruits. Our specimens have grown into very bushy plants with light -green leaves and they produce a showy crop of fruits every fall. A few other outstanding shrubs tested in recent years and found to be perfectly hardy in Zone 4 of the Department of Agriculture Hardiness Map, are the Skogholm cotoneaster, a ground-hugging woody plant, Ruby Glow February daphne (Daphne mezereum 'Ruby Glow') with dark ruby flowers, Red Cascade spindle bush, that has fruits that hang from the branches, and Rubus deliciosus a non-spreading flowering raspberry with large single white flowers and purple fruits that are not particularly tasty. dew cements may make braces comfortable New cements being tested may soon replace the need for some of the metal bands dentists now use to anchor dental braces in most cases of treating crooked teeth. Laboratory tests have already shown that new plastic cements stick to the teeth better and are comparable in strength to the conventional bonds. Clinical trials are underway by dental scientists to find how well the new cements will work in the mouth. Besides having the potential to replace unsightly bands, the new cements appear to be better than conventional ones in preventing mouth fluids from seeping around and undermining fillings. They are also less irritating to teeth. Conventional cements need liners in some cases to protect the teeth, Another advantage of the new bonding agents is that they are easy to take off. A quick twist with a dental instrument can snap most of the bond off. go, paitrike„„ At CgaPi SES4I/Serf/ESuPPLV IS ALWAYS' afar -ER now ri/E.0044iVOI 4,,,,mireterogr of a a tate/a- ONTARIO'S NO.

I'm writing this column one week in advance, can tell that the weather wherever you may be today is chilly, There's a raw wind blowing out of the northeast and you feel frozen just crossing the street to get a cup of coffee. There may even be a few flakes of snow in the air. I'm not possessed of a hidden power, That's the way every November 11 has been since I've been a small child. I can remember standing at the cenotaph on several Armistice Days and finding the weather always about the same — spine-ch illing and very uncomfortable. It is a funny thing about Remembrance Day. Every year the crowd at the cenotaph gets smaller and older. Have you noticed that? • Oh, there are a few children there, brought by their mothers or fathers for the occasion because someone in the family has either been involved in a world war or is extremely hung-up on the romance of what the armistice meant to this country. But for the most part, the people standing out there at that cenotaph are old soldiers, sailors arid airmen along with their families and friends for whom Remembrance Day has a very special impact. I don't want any of you to get the idea that I'm opposed to the observance of Remembrance Day. I recognize what a great deed was done by the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces for the preservation of this nation. I'm indebted. What I really wonder about is how I'm showing my indebtedness by standing out in the freezing cold watching people laying poppies on a marble foundation at the foot of a stone statue. I really question the value of the ceremony at all other than the fact that it is a thoughtful gesture to the memories of dead warriors who fought valiantly for their freedom ..,. and mine. I often try to imagine what the reaction of a soldier who gave his life in a blood battle would be if he could somehow be miraculously transported from eternity to the middle of 6A Clinton News-Record, Thursday, November 11, 1971 rom' my window ; BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER Conditioning Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association members recently sponsored a stuffing bee in their Stratford office. A number of community respiratory disease sufferers turned out to help fill the envelopes with Christmas Seals for the 1971 Campaign, The Christmas Seal Huron-Perth Community was well represented with persons present from Clinton, Seaforth, Tavistock and Stratford. The film "The Battle To Breathe" was shown later by the Programme Director, Mrs. Beryl Davidson. Mrs. May (Prank) Dodds, Screening Chairman of the Association helped supervise activities. Mrs. Betty (Cecil) Patience and Miss Sylvia Davidson, Christmas Seal Secretaries served lunch. today's society. Just what would that soldier think of the way we are utilizing the freedoms he gave his all to protect? And what would he think of the sterile methods we employ to remember his offering of life's blood? • It is interesting to theorize about this sort of thing but much more exciting to try to do something about correcting the mistakes of the past. For instance, it is a futile exercise to stand at the cenotaph listening to the Last Post and wearing a poppy in your buttonhole in token of your esteem for war heroes if you don't get out and use your freedom at the polls on election day. If you had given your life in World War II, would you settle for 'a ten-minute service in the town square once a year at an appointed hour if the very things you fought to preserve were being ignored? The Legion organizations in most communities do a marvellous service for all kinds of people, In my estimation, this is a much more vital and realistic way to show one's gratitude than to stand with sober face and damp eyes by a memorial tomb remembering the sacrifice someone else made on your behalf, Pm not against the annual worship services at the cenotaph. They are beautifully touching and they have their place, I suppose. But let's face the truth that these services are of more of- a sentimental nature for families and friends of veterans and heroes than to the hundreds and thousands• of young people growing up in this country who know next to nothing about global' war but who understand poverty and bigotry and hatred and greed all too well, Maybe Remembrance Day should be updated to have some meaning and new stimulation for the young of this nation. I'll still be at the cenotaph this morning because I remember how it was. It is a real thing for me and the Unknown Soldier has a face. But I'm growing older and my children have no recollections at all. They need to be motivated on Remembrance Day and it will take more than a trumpet and a Poppy- Course Over 70 persons recently heard an address by Dr. Norman Epstein of Toronto, Dr, Epstein is an Allergist and Paediatrician; now Director of Allergies, St. Joseph's Hospital, Toronto. He is also Allergy Consultant at Mississauga and Queensway General Hospitals. The meeting was sponsored by the Huron-Perth TBRD Association. The fourth Physicial Conditioning Course for children will begin in Stratford in the near future. The course is sponsored by the Iluron-Perth T.B. and Respiratory Disease Association and is conducted at the YM—YWCA by Mrs. Ian Clarke Physical Education Specialist and Women's Programme Director of the "Y". BY A.R. BUCKLEY The search for new and different shrubs is more rewarding now than it was a few years ago. Nurserymen all over Canada, encouraged by the demands of the gardening public, are including more and more new kinds in their catalogues each year. Records taken in the Test Garden of the Canada Agriculture Plant Research Institute, where many of these plants are being evaluated, show that a large number rate very highly and are recommended for growing in all parts of Canada. The largest group of shrubs under test at Ottawa is the Syringa or lilac group. Many of these come from Western Canada, some from Ontario, some from New Hampshire and others from Great Britain and Holland. Best of the newer French hybrid lilacs are Alice Eastwood, bluish-purple double; Blue Hyacinth, light blue with reflexed petals that gives the impression of a hyacinth; Firmament, a clear sky-blue single; Maud Notcutt, bearing enormous pure white single blooms, and Night, a very distinctive dark purple. Miss Canada, from the Research Station at Morden, Man., is a new Prestonae hybrid that shows great promise, but is not superior to Elinor, a similar pink cultivar with very sweetly scented flowers. Both bloom later than the other lilacs, a character that gives them even more usefulness. A uniqUe lilac species that has proven very hardy here and on the prairies is the diminutive Syringa palibiniana, that grows less than four feet high, is quite compact and produces a mass of light pink flowers. Some nurserymen sell this species grafted as a standard. Grown this way, it forms a perfect symmetrical small tree that blends well with standard roses or makes a fine accent point in large flower beds. Spireas are so easy to grow and so very hardy as a rule, that it is always a pleasure to see some newer types. Three new ones that are worthy of note are the Gracious soiree, (Spiraea c iner ea, `G raciosa'). the Snowmound spirea (Spiraea nipponica `Tosaensis') and the Goldflame spirea (Spiraea bumalda 'Gold Flame'). The Gracious spirea is very much like the Garland spirea (Spiraea arguta) and blooms about the same time, but it has enormous trusses of flowers and is much more compact. The Snowmbund spirea has very graceful arching branches that are always heavily laden with snow white flowers in June. The Goldflame spirea has golden foliage in spring studded with a mass of light crimson flowers, an effect that can be created again in September if the flower stems are removed promptly after the first blooming period. Many of us are already aware of the early spring beauty of the dwarf Russian almond (Prunus tenella) with its showy rosy pink flowers produced at the same time as the yellow forsythia, A new and more compact form introduced from England is F re h IP (Prunus tenella Tirehill'); it has much deeper pink flowers, so deep in fact that one might almost call it erimson. The Muckle Plum is much hardier, and is a hybrid of the Russian almond and the common American Plum (Prunus americana), It has bright salmon flowers, grows to about seven feet tall and has thick green willow-like foliage, Two new dwarf shrubs that are useful for planting in association with the evergreens Conservation Continued from Page 1. environment approach, But they are Prepared to do this I hope, There is a generation of students that received their education during the heady educational revolution of the 50's and 60's. What happened to them? They grew long-haired and became vocal. Universities suffered student strikes and riots — high schools had student protests over courses and freedom of assemblies, Kids turned to drugs. Some of these things have not changed in today's generation. But this was also the generation which forced the United States to reconsider its attitudes towards the blacks and the Vietn4n war. It challenged adults on the quality of life in North America. It howled so loudly about pollution that politicians were forced to listen, Whatever their elders may think; this generation thinks for itself and searches for its own answers. What will yours do? What will be the contribution of your generation when it leaves school and enters the world of the G.N.P.? The •new wave of conservation, conservation for living, will not become a force unless some of us move to give young people the responsibility they now feel. It is to them I turn in closing, for we are all in their hands — for better or for worse. Man is not lost. We could not be in better hands. Long live the revolution! May they see clearly and act bravely. For the first time man has the chance to be fully successful, for we have a generation of youth which grasps the meaning of human ecology and can spring the traps of history. Let us clear the way for these pathfinders. TBRD Association sponsoring Physical, New shrubs for landscaping SALES & SERVICE "We Semite What We Sell" 2s7 V1CTOTUA ST. HWY. No., 4.S.
