When evening shadows are falling And we sit in quiet alone. To our heart there comes a longing, Wishing you could come home. Many folks many think we have forgotten,, When at times they see our smile. But how little they know the heartaches Our smile hides all the while.

With their present clerk - treasurer, Wesley Ball, leaving at the end of the month and the position of road superintendent still not secured, councillors feel they have "enough irons in the fire to get solved" without taking on the em- ployment program. Council was first advised of the employment program in December and informed the township could receive grants of approximately $19,000. The Canada -Ontario Employment Development Program is aimed at workers whose unem- ployment insurance benefits have run out. "It's not fair to say we don't need it," commented Coun. Alex Graham, "but unless we can handle it there's no use trying it." "I think it would be very difficult for us to administer it this year," Reeve William Newton said. Clerk Ball advised council in March that he has ac- cepted an administrative PROCTER—To Don and Kathy Procter in Winnipeg Hospital on March 22, a son, Michael, weighing nine pounds, 15 ounces, a brother for Kristi and Timothy.

Besides seeking a new clerk -treasurer, council is advertising for a road superintendent. Carroll Johnson, present road superintendent, has not returned to work since suffering a heart attack in September, 1982. He will retire in May. Acting road superin- tendent, Glenn Underwood, was complimented by council at its April session for his effort in directing the operation of the road department. Besides lacking the per- sonnel to administer the employment program, councillors admitted to having difficulty in coming up with a "concrete plan" to utilize workers. "There are the old Seniors' Day Centre News By Pam Williams With the rush and ex- citement of the Easter holiday, there was no seniors column in the paper last week. The month of April is well underway and we now are planning activities for the spring. Once again we plan on taking a busload to the Blyth Summer Theatre, but we'll give more information on that at a later date. We are going to the Belmore Maple Syrup Festival next Thursday. We plan on staying for the day's activities and enjoy the pancakes, maple syrup and sausages at lunchtime. While the group is away at Belmore, the ladies from the hospital auxiliary will be converging on the Armouries building to set up for their rummage sale which will be held Friday. Staff from the day centre will not be available Friday so we can make way for the rummage sale. Thank you to everyone in the community who brought in juice cans over the past few weeks. We will be making the footstools out of the cans and looking at the amount of cans we received, I'm sure we can make quite a few stools. Thanks again. Our second annual flea market is being held Saturday, April 30. People and organizations which have rented tables can set up April 29 at 7 p.m. You're welcome to donate anything to the flea market and we can arrange pick up if you call us at 357-1440 or 357-1445. This last thought is for everyone with a sense of humor, "You know you're getting old when you can make the wrinkles that you see in the mirror disappear just by taking off your glasses." Have a good week. cemeteries we've been wanting to fix up," said Reeve Newton, "that's been on the back -burner for some time ... but it's going to take paperwork and super- vision." "I don't think we can use it. I doon't think we have the reserve people to do it," Coun. Gerald D'Arcey said. "I think you're right," the reeve agreed. "With four council meetings in a month, I think we've got quite a bit on our plate right now." Presented with a brief by Mel Greig of RR 1, Gorrie outlining the programs of the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, council decided to give the federation a grant of $500. The same amount was awarded in 1981. The federation did not request a grant from Howick in 1982. In his brief Mr. Greig who heads the Howick federation branch, noted the Huron federation was involved in two major issues last year — the proposed Hydro corridor and the manure storage bylaw. "The Huron Federation acted as a co-ordinating body on both these -subjects in getting farm groups together," he said. "Getting "Rural Voice" publication to each of its members in the county and the °°Farm and Country" newspaper to all farmers in the county. It also sponsors various self-help seminars and courses and hosts a dinner each year for Members of Parliament at which time agricultural concerns are discussed.- °'L°and-use topics such as foreign -ownership of far- mland, toxic waste disposal, mineral rights taxes, and property tax reform are subjects which require years of effort," Mr. Greig said. "Without the Federation of Agriculture where would farmers go with their problems? Who else is equipped to help on such a wide range of topics?" In preparing the motion to grant the federation $500, Deputy Reeve Jack Stafford, a self-proclaimed supporter of the organization, said he would like to make it $5,000.
