Clinton News-Record, 1981-11-04, Page 2PAGE 2—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4 ,1981 I definitely did not enjoy my breakfast this morning (Wednesday). My stomach is just not geared to the tension of ,watching a launch of the space shuttle. Along with the juice, the countdown was going fine - then in the middle of toast. and mar- malade it got to 31 seconds and holding. And the com- mentator mentioned "danger" and ."abort" - so rather than watch the whole thing blow - I left. Listening afterwards, I was interested to learn that after , the countdown gets to two minutes and counting - the computers take over - and the decision to hold at 31 seconds was made entirely by computer - it wasn't a human decision at all! Of course, the whole thing didn't blow - but I am more convinced than ever that astronauts, their wives and families and all the workers concerned must have steel reinforced stomachs. +++ Every three months the News -Record receives a copy of the "Huron Tract" from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources ,in Wingham. In its twelve short pages there is always a wealth of information - forestry, outdoor recreation, the Hullett Wildlife Management Area and other interesting features. In amongst the articles there was the following under the heading "pot po urri" . The nine Commandments of Human Relations: 1.eak to.people, there is nothing as nice asa cheerful word of greeting. 2. Smile at people; it takes 72 muscles to frown and only 14 to smile. 3. Call people by name; the sweetest music to anyone's ears is the sound of his own name. 4. Be friendly and helpful; if you want to have friends be friendly. 5. Be cordial; speak and act as if everything you did were a genuine pleasure. 6. Be genuinely interested in people; you can learn to like everyone if you try. 7. Be generous with praise, cautious with criticism; it's a touch of magic. 8. Be thoughtful of the opinions of others; there are three sidesto a controversy; yours, and the other fellow's and the right one. 9. Be alert to give service; what counts most in life is what we do for others. Also, in the same publication there is a very interesting list of additions to the Hullett Wildlife Bird List for 1980. The observations were made by Natural Resources personnel and interested bird watchers at Hullett Wildlife Management Area.

BEAVERS SCOUTS News - by Evelyn Feeney 1st Clinton Beaver Colony - Beavers held their tail celebration and Beavers were also given their lodge patches to divide them into lodge groups. There are five different tail levels in the Beaver program and they are for physical recognition of a boy's growth and development in the colony. The Beavers also did their part for Apple Day this year by helping to polish apples, Since Beavers are unable to be in- volved in fund-taising, the Beavers were happy to share in this special day in their own way. The meeting could not be all work and no play so games played were "Number Ball" and "Fish Cobbler". A thank you to mothers Diane Ryan, Sandy Petteplace and Linda Dixon for helping with the tail and lodge celebration. Hallowe'en Party: It was a night of spooky fun when ghosts and goblins haunted the pond Thursday night. Beavers sat in a circle to guess their scary friends before unmasking to play "Swinging Marshmallows", sing spook songs and for those who dared, a visit to the Haunted House. An hour of fun ended with a film of "Charlotte's Web" and a treat of potato chips and drink. 2nd Clinton Beaver Colony - Meeting was cancelled due to Parent Teacher's Night at -the school. Cubs - Mark Walker received his collector badge and Cory Freeman received his Team Player badge. On October 22, the Cubs went to CKNX-TV Station. All the transmitting is done from the station. We would like to thank our drivers, Mr. Rick Fremlin, Mr. Tom Fox, Mr. Bud Walker, and Mr. Barry Clogg. The Cubs enjoyed going through the station. We would also like to thank our drivers for Apple Day. On October 29, we had our Hallowe'en party when the Vampires, witches, and ghosts were out for fun. Chris Hoggarth won a prize for the original costume, Greg Crawford for the weird costume, and Cory Freeman for the funniest. Everyone enjoyed the games and Bagherra read a story after which we had refreshments. November 3, was our investiture night. Everyone is welcome. CUBS Pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and facial descriptions were entered In the Clinton Public School's Jack -O -Lantern contest. Student council president Margy Holmes couldn't decide whether she liked the delicate miniatures or the larger, finely coiffured versions. (Shelley McPhee photo) You and your health unit BY II. R. CIESLAR, B4., M.D., MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation As of August 18, 1981, the information the Health Unit has received indicated that some 20 homes will be tested for levels of formaldehyde gas. We still have not heard a definite time but it "sup- posedly" will begin soon in Huron County. If you have U.F.F.I. in your home and you are very concerned, I suggest you contact the Health Unit if you have not already done so. Also, you might consider torming a group or joining the Ontario Group Homeowners with Urea For- maldehyde Foam Insulation (H.U.F.F.I. ) If you have further ques- tions, the Huron County Health Unit may be able to provide some answers. Rabies Rabies continues toVbe• health hazard ,in Huron County with some recent TV publicity. Rabies in animal populations tends to show a cycle over a period of years. Although Southwestern On- tario is showing a slight overall increased incidence, especially in Grey and Bruce Counties, this is part of the normal cycle and no reason for concern. Instead, one's concern should be directed toward reducing exposure. See that your pets are vaccinated as required. (The immuniza- tion period will vary with the vaccine used, i.e., one to three years).,. Do not ap- proach or try to make pets of wild animals or stray cats or dogs. Report all bites to your local physician and where possible, obtain the animal for examination. Do not dispose of an animal until directed. This may save you from receiving vaccinations.

The Klompen Feest Committee is pleased and proud to have made a small profit on their first effort, which they had pledged to the building fund of the Clinton. Public Hospital. Mrs. Ann Bottema, co-chairman of the costume and sewing committee presented a cheque for $400 last week to Bob Cam - pbell, chairman of the Klompen Feest Committee. Bob accepted it on behalf of the Board of Governors of Clinton Public Hospital. Plans are being formulated for Klompen Feest 1982, with all committees set up and ready to go. Monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month in the Town Hall to which the general public is cordially invited. The next general meeting will be held Tuesday, Nov, 10 at 8 p.m. in theTownHall. It is hoped that all the citizens of the area will get together to plan and work to make the Feest in 82 a real success, so that next year the committee can turn a much bigger cheque over to the Hospital. planted for many years.
