Systems. Ltd. plant at Hensall were laid, oft' on Tuesday, bringing to over 500 the number of persons in Huron County who had become unemployed in the last month. The 74 workers at the Hensall plant, which manufactures trailers and motor homes, were laid off because the company was making some line changes and retooling. The company will continue to produce some mobile homes and trailers, The 74 laid off workers will be jobless at least five to six weeks, according to Don Morphew, vice-president of the recreational vehicles division of Bendix. Mr. Merphew stressed thai the lay off was temporary, but the workers could be off as long as 13 weeks, Making it necessary for- the company to give severance pay. At its peak production period, the Hensall plant employed nearly 250 persons: Glendale Corporation of Strathroy closed their Clinton plant at Vanastra on December 21, putting 32 employees out of work. Plant manager Murray Hounsell said the plant, which manufactured motor homes and camper trailers, 'was being shut down because the energy crisis had caused a shortage of materials and scared off potential buyers. Six weeks ago, the- Hall Lamp of Centralia went into bankruptcy, throwing 397 employees out of work. Efforts by the former management of the plant and the provincial government to reopen the plant have been unsuccessful so far. Allowances Help Child Allowances help introduce children to the world of living on a fixed income. But an allowance given before age five will not have much training value, When you think your child -can begin to assume the responsibility for a little money, that's when you, the parents and the child need to plan the allowance together. First, you must decide what the allowance will be for. Does it cover birthday presents and presents for family members? Is it to be used to pay for school supplies or lunches? Then, get a fair estimate of how much money this will take by having the child keep track of the money spent on these items for a few weeks. When the expenses are totalled, add a little more for the child to spend freely: A youngster won't get any practice spending money and using judgement if every cent is planned in advance. The amount of the allowance needs to undergo changes as the child grows older. And sometimes, even with good management on the part of the child, emergencies will arise. Let the child know you are willing to discuss problems. Weigh the merits of each case when deciding if the child needs extra money or not, ,To be successful, an allowance must be regular and in line with a child's activities and abilities. Birds and Bees? Did you hear abotit the boy who went to the bookstore to learn about the birds and the bees? He "How to Hug." He sneaked it into his room, locked his door and then discovered that he wasted . his money. The book was the 6th volume of the Encyclopedia. Stamp Collecting Stamp collecting is really a wonderful interest. Remember those hours you spent over a hot teakettle, steaming the stamps off envelopes? With Mom right behind you steaming open Pop's letters? Fishing? The boss is mad today. It seems his wife asked him if he remembered all those trout he was fishing for last summer. He said: "yes", And she said: "Well one of them called up here last night and left her number." See the new line of NM1 giginiptirity waSherSatdryers att OLIWIEUYS PRO- altDvitAltg 88/.0151 IIMUSSELS
