Most often this has prove, to be the best policy. Journalists agree there is little to be gained by taking part in a running bat- tle of words with a certain fac- tion of readership opposed to opinions or other policies of a Resolutions passed at the March meeting of Grey Town- ship Council included: - That the tender of Done- gan's Haulage Limited, Listowel, Ontario, for crushing and hauling approximately 25,000 cubic yards of 5/8" gravel at $1.04 per cubic yard be accepted subject to the approval of the Ministry of Transportation and Communi- cations and By-Law No. 5 of 1973 be pa.ssd as read a first, second and third times. Many people spend their working years setting aside as much money as possible, with a dream in mind - owning and operating a business. This is truly an American dream. People who work as bricklayers, secre- taries, office managers, tele- phone repairmen, or lawyers, are likely to have .set their sights on different businesses. Some may be interested in running a motel or restaurant, or some may want to turn a hobby into a full- time career, such as a camera shop or fabric store. But there are some words of advice for those who have such a dream: proceed with utmost caution. •You've worked hard for your savings, so be careful you don't run out and invest your money in the iirst business that comes along. Take your time and investigate the situation. A motel can become a disaster area if a new stiper-highway takes Mrs. E. Shaw was hostess at a meeting of the Ladies Aid. Mrs. G.

There does come a time, however, when unwarranted criticism must be answered, Warden Roy pattison and Property Committee chairman Harold Lobb had had separate telephone conversations Tues- day, February 2Q with the Pro- gressive Conservative candidate in the upcoming by-election, Don Southcott.

A small camera shop can easily go down the drain if large discount stores with camera departments and lower prices move nearby. There is , more to the restaurant business than just cooking food - you've got to be able to attract people to come into your res- taurant and then make sure that they'll be coming back for future meals. ' • If you really want your dream to become a reality, search for a business very carefully. Make sure you are getting into a good business, one with a future. Re- member, when you make a mistake with your own business, it can be an expensive one! Be- fore you can get out from under, you may lose more than your nest egg; you may obligate some of yourfuture retirement income. Don't jump into things - other- wise you might be happier just staying home, playing golf, or going fishing. poem "The Instrument of Th., peace", The Secretary report was read by Mrs. Steiss and the Treasurer's report by Mrs. Speir.

Who could ever prove - or disprove it? The media is well aware of this favorite rouse of elected of- ficials to scream "misquote" the minute things get a little hot. As a former newspaperman, Don Southcott must know the trick well, It is much the same as the foolish fellow who received a telegram from his father that his generous allowance was being discontinued because he had been wasting his time at play instead of getting down to work. The son took quick decisive action. He pulled a gun and shot the poor fellow who delivered the telegram to his door. "If you don't like the message, shoot the messenger." It does not matter at this juncture who fouled up the works or why Don Southcott is wearing egg on his face. It does matter that Don South- cott presented a • sound proposal to county 'council which was not considered. It does matter that it now appears that the majority of coun- ty,council won't listen to the pub- lic or its former provincial gov- ernment friends or even some of its own members. It does matter that for this fiasco the blame. 'has been laid at the feet of six members of the press for reporting the exact same "Misquote" when it is ob- vious the blame should probably rest elsewhere. It does matter that county council was ready and willing to nail the press to the wall in this instance without giving any con- sideration at all to the fact that six out of six newsmen all had the same story and that Don Southcott's name was never men- tioned in connection with the mat- ter when county council met last;, Friday. County Council has insulted the intelligence, of the people of this county long enough. The warden was not present at the meeting in question, Har- old Lobb was not present at the meeting in question. It is believed that only two county councillors were present. They were Reeve Everett McII- wain and. Deputy-reeve Gerry Ginn, both of Gocierich Township, and neither of them having first- hand knowledge of the private telephone conversations which had gone on between the Warden and Southcott or the property committee chairman and. South- cott. At Friday's meeting of Huron County Council, the whole dirty mess hit the fan. The warden and the property committee chairman stated the press had gotten the story all wrong. The press had quoted • Don Southcott and the statements were attributed to Don Southcott. Yet at last'Friday's session of Huron County Council, Don Southcott's name was not mentioned in the discussion. It, was evident that it was not being considered that Don Southcott did actually make the statement attributed -Whim by six different newsmen, some of them well seasoned and highly qualified. Huron County Council made no move to acquit the press or to assure the people that a mis- understanding was the cause of the whole problem, On the strength of the fact that, six out of six newsmen left the meeting with the exact same quote, it must be assumed by the people 'of this county that the media did not misquote Don Southcott. Most assuredly, the press did not misquote Warden Pattison or Harold Lobb for nei- ther man was at the meeting. If one was to believe county council's blatant claim of mis- quotation, then one mustpresume that six different newsmen in- vented or dreamed up the exact same quote (a marvellous coin- cidence) and attributed it to two fellows who weren't even at the meeting. By one's wildest stretch of the imagination, no one could believe that line unless one was totally ignorant of the integrity of the press. what:is the explanation? Could it be that Don Southcott took sorne liberties with the in- formation he received frciin war- den pattison and Reeve Lobb? Could it be thatSouthcott actually believed that the recommendation to council promised by Pattison and Lobb would result in a hold on the demolition of the jail wall? Could it be that Southcott assumed he had the goodwill of county council and that it was a fore- gone conclusion that the County would back the warden and the property committee chairman on this proposal? Could it be that the warden and/or Lobb actually did indicate to Don Southcott that he could release the proposal to the Save The Jail. Committee, anticipating council's co-operation? Could it be that as soon as it was 1111W[lE.00 •W@RO ...and get more from the GOOD YEARS my , ivrAt. / • 211F-Ft-t, 2• • ::: Francis Nugent 1.;.-9 Melville meetings tikUttEtt POft MAittk joi, Grey Council Awards contract for gravel No time for , coughing Morning is a time for cough- ing. For too many people. To many .people, includ- , ing millions of smokers, think a morning cough is not only rou- tine but normal. It isn't. Acough has a reason for being. Coughing is one way the body tries to get rid of excess phlegm and mucus. Normally, mucus moves from the breathing passages up toward the mouth, swept along by tiny broom like structures called cilia. The moving carpet of mucus collects dirt and germs along the way.. But when the cilia stop moving the mucus acc- umulates. Especially at night. Coughing in the morning shakes loose this sticky collect- ion of mucus, dirt, and germs, But in • the meantime, the dirt irritates the air passages and the germs have a chance to reprod- uce and invade the body tissues. Smoking just one cigarette slows down the.action of the cilia and interferes with the upward trip of the moving mucus. Heavy smoking completely paralyzes the cilia and leaves the bronchial tubes, which connect the lungs arid thewindpipe, open to all kinds of infection. Once the bron- chial tubes are irritated for long periods, excess Mucus is secreted constantly. Then cough- ing becorn,e8 torripillaive.
