Funeral Tuesday for Harry Adams WROXETER—Harry Adams of the Turnberry-Howick Boundary died in Wingham and District Hospital on Sunday, March 5, following a long illness. Funeral service was conduct- ed at the Moir funeral home, Gerrie, by Rev. R. M. Sweeney on Tuesday afternoon. Pall- bearers were Wesley Heimpel, Harvey Reidt, Ross Sanderson, Ira McLean, Bob Adams and Stewart Musgrove. The flower bearers were Harvey McMichael and George Adams. Mr. Adams was a native of Howick and a son of the late Robert Adams and Elizabeth Sanderson. He attended S.S. 18 Howick. His occupation was farming until he retired about three years ago. He was a member of the United Church. He married Margaret Eliza- beth Fox in 1917. The mar- riage took place in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Wingham. They quietly celebrated their Bird houses are fun to build ha Ontario there are about two dozen species of birds that will use nest boxes. These birds, which range in size from wrens to ducks, eArt be attract- ed almost anywhere that trees can he grown, Bird houses or nest boxes may be made a wide variety of designs and shapes. Since ear- ly times, hollowed out gourds have been hung in trees to at* tract birds to nest, Boxes need not be elaborate, but they should be strong and weather, proof. Good bird houses look the part houses for birds, not toy houses that imitate houses for humans. Soft wood with a straight grain, such as pine or spruce, is preferable. It is easily work- ed, may be nailed with little danger of splitting, and is suf- ficiently durable. Slab wood, with or without the bark, and old fence boards, make the most generally effective bird houses. If new lumber is used, it should be rough, not planed; whether rough or planed, it should be treated with gray, olive, or dull brown stain of a medium shade. The nature of nesting ma- terial and its whereabouts should play absolutely no part in human plans for the prospec- tive tenants. "Unfurnished" rooms are the only kind for which the birds are looking. Bird houses erected on poles are safer from predators than those placed in trees. Houses for purple martins, in particu- lar, need to be at a distance from trees and buildings, and if possible near water. Place your bird house where the sun will reach it during part of the day, and turn the ent- rance away from the prevailing winds. Bird houses should be put up early -- for the bluebird they should be up by mid-March; and by early April for the pur- ple martin. Plans for three types of bird houses -- for the bluebird, pur- ple martin and robin -- are available from the Federation of Ontario Naturalists, 1262 Don Mills Road, Don Mills, On- tario.

Local planning board hears talk by Kitchener expert i I SAVE MONEY O. P. P. REPORT The Wingham and District Planning Board met on Thursday evening and had the opportunity to hear Howard Smith of Kitch- ener talk on various aspects of town plans and zoning by-laws. Mr. Smith is a recognized ex- pert in his field of municipal planning. He aided in the or- ganization of the local board in 1960 when he was retained as consultant. Board Chairman Calvin Burke told the well attended meeting that a decision will have to be made in regard to an official plan and zoning before too long. Mr. Smith outlined the prob- lems in setting up an official plan and the detail work neces- sary in establishing a zoning by- law. He explained that it might be better to create a plan and have it approved by coun- cil but not placed in the " of- Ifici al" camper bee sending item the Department of Municipal' Affairs for the minister's ap- proval. In this way a plan could be used for several years to find out if it is basically sound and if it creates any prob- lems before having it moved in- Repair Farm Machinery taken before a zoning by-law can be enacted including the necessity of calling public meet- ings and the approval of the Municipal Board. Coming to cost, Mr. Smith was of the opinion that it would take about $1.00 to $1.50 per capita to establish a plan and zoning regulations in a com- munity the size of Wingham. Be said that while it is expen- sive to set up such a scheme, in the long run it can be more ex- pensive if action is not taken. Mr. Smith answered a num- ber of questions from members of the planning board and in conclusion said, "There is no magic in planning, it is a hell of a good exercise in common sense." Board Chairman Calvin Burke said that another session of the board will be held on March 20, at which time another expert in the field of planning will be heard. Following this meeting he said the board will make a decision in regard to the estab- lishment of a "plan" and zoning regulations, and will then make a recommendation to council. to the official category. He ex- plained that once it has had the approval of the minister, then any amendments or changes must also have Toronto approv- al. Mr. Smith said that a plan is more than just a map indicat- ing what type of building and development can take place in any given area; it is also a statement of policy by the board as to its expectations in regard to ordered development within the community. Coming to zoning by-laws, the speaker pointed out that a zoning by-law is an official document that takes a great deal of preparation and is the method by which a plan is car- ried out. It outlines what can be done and what restrictions are placed on an area and can have a host of regulations. A building law, on the other hand, deals entirely with the type of construction of,a betid- ing itself. He suggested that in the case of Wingham it could well be that a zoning by-law is more important than having an official plan. The visitor then told of the course of action which has to be Be safe! Repair machinery and sharpen equipment before spring. "This will not only prevent delay when the plow- ing season comes, but ensures safety," advises Hal Wright, farm safety specialist, Ontario Department of Agriculture. "Breakdowns are so annoying that they set up a mental block, making a farmer lose his com- mon sense. This has caused many farm accidents. The equipment works more efficient- ly if it has been put into top condition, so safety isn't the only bonus factor." until seven years ago, at which time he bought the former Cros- set Motors building on Jose- phine St., north of the C. N, crossing. He was an active business man until the time of his death. Mt. Armstrong, a member of the Wingham United Church, was married to Verda Procter of Belgrave on June 27, 1939. She predeceased him on February 24, 1963. Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Harold Smits of Wingham and Helen Ann, at home; his father, W. C. Arm- strong and a sister, Mrs. K. J. (Ruth) Hueston, both of Wing- ham. There are two grandsons. Service will be conducted at the S. J. Walker funeral home at 2.30 o'clock today (Thurs- day) with entombment at the Wingham cemetery. Rev.

S Wherever inflation talk bobs up someone is always present to demand a definition. The argu- ment frequently stalls on that point and we shall not get into it. However, we would like to retell one little story that serves as an illustration of one aspect of inflation. A man noticed one morning that his newsboy had a puppy on his stand with a "For Sale" sign over him. Idly, he asked the boy how much he expected to get for the dog. "Fifty thousand dollars," re- plied the boy. "I won't take a cent less." A few mornings later the man noticed the dog was gone. "Sell your puppy?" The boy grinned affirmatively. "'Did you get your price for hen?" "Yep." said the kid. "I swapped him for a couple of twenty-five-thousand dollar cats," MANNA, William Albert, 80, Listowel, Monday. at home, Survivors: sons, Clatence, Bel- grave: Ross.
