SMITH - Manager MRS. JOYCE BLACK - Accountant 235-0530 SHOULD YOU PREARRANGE In these changing times, attitudes about funerals are changing too! Members of the Ontario Funeral Service Association find that many show a prefer- ence for a funeral which is simple, yet dignified and in good taste. The thoughtful head of every family takes care to prepare a Will, carry Life In- surance, etc., with one un- selfish motive in mind — to assure his family of security and freedom from worry. Many go further and pre-arrange their own funeral leaving instructions as to their wishes. Candidly speaking, should it not be YOUR RESPON- SIBILITY to make these arrangements so this task will not be left to someone else? The Ontario Funeral Service Association believes that this is a matter which deserves your serious consideration and suggests that you call on a funeral director and ask about pre-arrangements. Your enquiry will be in confi- dence and without obligation.

Ladies' Aid President, Mrs. Clarence Volland presided for the regular meeting of the Ladies' Aid and opened the meeting with Meditation and Prayer. Business concerning the church was discussed. Blizzards spell hardships with blocked roads. But most farmers who live in the snowbelt area can handle these inc onveniences. Thus the farmers who form the Tuckersmith Township Council were not deterred when they wanted to hold their regular session last week. After cancelling the meeting Tuesday night they called it for Wednesday afternoon. Their usual meeting place — Huron Centennial School in Stanley Township — was buried behind a wall of snow. Reeve Ervin Sillery had the answer. He invited council to gather at the recently vacated house owned by his mother, Mrs. Sam McCurdy, right in Brucefield. It marked the second time in about 30 years council. had ac- tually met in Tuckersmith. The reeve arrived on his snowmobile with Councillor Frank Falconer as did Councillor Bob Fotheringham and clerk- treasurer James McIntosh. Deputy-reeve Bob Bell and Councillor Bob Drummond arrived by car. Road superintendent Allan Nicholson couldn't attend to give his report on snowplowing township roads — he was busy snowplowing township roads. Council will ask the Huron Planning Board to prepare a comprehensive zoning by-law for Tuckersmith to replace a partial by-law passed in 1972. Council learned that the Ontario Fire Marshal's office has agreed to do a study on fire protection needs in the township as requested by council. Mrs. Betty Cardno attended the meeting to ask council that the members of the singles club be permitted to continue to hold their weekly dance at Vanastra Recreation Centre on Saturday nights during the year as they did last. Council agreed and said the rental charge would be $100 for the main hall plus $25 for the kitchen if used, and plus $25 for the Day Care Centre if used. Members of council took over in January the running of the Recreational Centre instead of the former Recreation Board due to the financial difficulties at the centre which had a deficit of $80,000.00 at the end of last year. Council considered raising the yearly remuneration paid to each member. They will decide at the next meeting the increase they will give themselves for the corning year. The annual Vestry Meeting of St. Paul's Anglican Church, Hensall was held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Frank Forrest, January 25, Rev. G. A. Anderson opened the meeting with Prayer.

The report stated that tobacco plants were used in the tests carried out in six areas across the county (one on the Robert Allan farm at Brucefield). Councillor Fotheringham said the test results would have been the same if bean plants had been used. "You can imagine the results if an energy plant should be built in Huron," he said. (It has been rumoured on numerous occasions that such a plant might be built in the St. Joseph area.) Councillor Frank Falconer was named to represent the township on the Huron County Farm Safety Association for 1977- 78. The meetings are held at the Agricultural Office in Clinton.
