We perk along thinking our
four -wheeled transportation
age is just about the ultimate
in convenience - until Mother
Nature decides we need a
refresher course in how
quickly she can snatch away
that convenience and take the
countryside back to herself.
But still again the
snowmobilers came through -
both with emergency help
and again last Sunday when
they gathered to put their
efforts to good use for
Whipper Billy Watson's
Snowarama at Hully Gully.
Among the participants was
CFPL's Mark Lade, who,
along with fellow broad-
casters, Judy Savoy and Gar''
Allen Price, rode the trails
and was heard to remark on
Monday morning that he had
bruises in places where he
didn't even know he had
places.

Since there is a complete
lack of personals this week -
seems no one is either visiting
or receiving visitors - we shall
fall back on the tried and true
- reports and press releases.
(The readers who haven't
already moved on to page
three of the paper will likely
do so now - but for any who
are still with me - there are a
few more pertinent items.

who do volunteer work in the
hospital.
Recently, when stormy
weather conditions made it
difficult for the out-of-town
girls to make it in, the in-
towners willingly took on
double duty shifts. This points
up the need for more Candy
Stripers from town. Any girls
15 years and up are eligible.
Application forms may be
picked up at Central Huron
Secondary School or at the
hospital. For more in-
formation please contact
Mrs. Barb Hicks - Co-
ordinator of Candy Stripers at

please accord your cam-

and perhaps either renew a
subscription to a magazine

try out a new one. Proceeds of

fact that the now famous
"Farm Show" was originally
enacted on a near -by
Goderich Township farm.
Relative to this we received
a news release from the
Ministry of Culture and
Recreation with information
concerning a modular
exhibition entitled "We
Among Others" which opened
January 25, 1978 half way
around the world in Paris,
France.
The exhibition was opened
by the Minister, the Hon.
Robert Welch, and features 21
selected Ontario artists in-
cluding writers, novelists,
musicians, painters, authors,
etc.
One of these is Paul
Thompson, the artistic
director of the Theatre Passe
Muraille, and well known to
Clintonians through his
frequent visits to this area.
A few of the other notable
Ontarians depicted are
writer, Margaret Atwood;
author, Robertson Davies ;
actress, Frances Hyland;
photographer, Yousuf Karsh;
ballerina, Veronica Tennant.

Kippen
by Rena Caldwell
Mrs. Tom Reid and Mrs.
Harold Jones attended the
conference of United Church
Women held in Mitchell Jan.
24.
The annual meeting of the
congregation of St. Andrew's
Church Kippen was held on
Jan. 29 following church
service and a pot luck lunch.
More than two dozen volunteers had to work around the
carcasses of 250 burned pigs on Monday as they help Don
Taylor clean up after a fire that completely destroyed his
hog operation last Thursday. No cause has been given for
the $100,000 fire. (News -Record ph6 o)
Stuck in the middle
by Shelley McPhee
Rather than remain with millions of people who curse
winter up and down, I decided last weekend to join the
ranks of winter enthusiasts.
To make the cold, snowy months more enjoyable and
endurable I decided to take up cross country skiing.
However, after my first excursion with the sport I almost
want to despose winter even more that before.
Those snow banks, ice patches not to mention hills and
trees beat me. Although I mastered the art of trying to
stand up with skis on after a fall, I never quite got the
hang of the thing when I got to my feet.
Just as I got my feet and arms 'co-ordinated, so I'd
glide along the freshly fallen snow, a hill would appear,
or someone would turn around to see how I was doing, or
stop ahead of me, or my ski pole would get caught in a
tree, or my nose would start to drip and there I'd be in a
tangled up heap underneath a foot of snow.
But despite a few moments of near tears and complete
frustration, I continued my cross country trip for two and
a half hours with my friends who seemed to have caught
on to the knack of walking on two long pieces of
fiberglass quite nicely.
Rather than try to even up with the rest of the crew, I
contented myself to plow along behind and admire the
scenery. The trail, at the Maitland Valley Conservation
Area near Benmiller, actually made the ordeal tolerable.
The trail winds its way through the bush down to the
banks of the Maitland River. Seeing the trees covered
with snow and a sound of the fast flowing river was really
quite lovely.
In fact, it was so pretty that I may just rent some ski
equipment again and try to appreciate some more of
winter.

The superintendent of the
apartment building where I
live has all of a sudden
decided to lock the back door
from the inside. 1 find this
extremely inconvenient
because the parking lot is
located at the rear of the
building.
We contacted this
superintendent who gave us
the same answers that he did
you. "The door is staying
locked," he told us, "to keep
out undesirables." Apparently
he's found quite a few
prowlers of late and he claims
that the rest of the tenants
realize he has taken this
precaution for the safety and
well being of everyone who
resides here.
If you are able to obtain a
petition signed by the
majority of the residents, he
MIGHT consent to get keys
made. He made no definite
promises regarding this, but it
may be worth a try.

A few months ago I ordered
a sabre saw from a mail order
house which was to be sent on
approval.
If I decided to keep the saw
after a 10 -day trial period,' '1
was to send them a money
order. Well, I found their saw
to be most satisfactory and
mailed them the money order
as requested. Now part of
their offer was supposed to
include a 17 -piece screwdriver
set, to be sent to me FREE if
decided to keep the saw.
Well that was close to four
months ago, and I'm still
waiting for my "FREE
GIFT."
"The success of this ad-
vertising campaign has been
overwhelming," says the
company, but we have been
assured that our reader ',will
receive his set, 'within the
very near future.

1 complained to my landlord
about a loose ceiling, but
nothing was done! Finally a
piece of plaster hit me on the
head, requiring- several
stitches.
He refuses to consider arty
kind of compensation and
points out a part in my leases
which apparently absolves
him of any responsibility.
It there anything that 1 can
do?
Normally such a term on a
contract would be binding on
you. However a residential
tenancy is a special case.
Under the Landlord and
Tenant Act of Ontario the
landlord IS responsible for
"providing and maintaining
the rented premises in a good
state of repair." (s.96(1))
A recent case in Ontario
High Court decided that a
tenant could recover damages
in a case like this even where
the lease had a similar
provision to yours.
