West Wawanosh council at a special meeting Thursday approved an increase of 17.97 mills. The township minimum increase last year was not enough to cover expenses and so another increase was necessary, clerk Joan Armstrong said, Monday. The total mill rate for general municipal rates is 118.17 as compared to 100.20 last year, Increases were evident across the board. Mill rates arc as follows with last years rate in brackets. General Municipal Residential and Farm - In West Wawanosh 42.31 mills (33,78); Commerical and Busi- ness 49.77 mills (39.74); County of Huron, Farm Residential -19.06 mills (16.30); Busi- ness and Commercial- 22,42 mills (19,18); Elementary Public, Farm and residential -31, 66 mills (26.76); Business and Commercial - 35.17 mills (29.73); Secondary Farni and Residential -25.14 mills; Business and Com- mercial -27,93 (25.96); Huron -Perth County Separate School -36.46 (31,96); Bruce -Grey County Separate School -31.83 (25,08); Auburn Residential -6.11 (6.31); Auburn Business and Commercial -7.18 (6.31); Au- burn Street Lights, Residential -6.66; Busi- ness and Commercial -7.84; Dungannon Street Lights, Residential -12.12 (20.30); Business and Commercial -14.25 (20.30). County plan pays off in dollars for Blyth The county wide idea of sharing senior citizens housing costs has paid off for Blyth. Council learned Monday night that without the county program Blyth would be paying a Candidates meet BY ALICE GIB13 Entergy and energy conservation were among the issues raised at Huron's first all -candidates meeting held at Hullett Central School 'Thursday night. The session, organized by the Huron County Federation of Agriculture, drew about 200 people. In response to a question by Loeknow area Tarnier 'fumy McQuail on a moratorium on nuclear power, two of the three candidates said they would support a study on the safety of nuclear power plants. Progressive Conservative Bob McKinley, who sal 00 the natural resources committee in the House of Commons, said nothing has happened al nuclear plants in Canada of a serious nature since they were established in the country. But although he had been assured by experts the plants are safe Mr. McKinley said, "I would like to sec an independent authority with expertise to let the public know whether these are safe plants and if the people who live around them are safe." Moira Couper, the NDP candidate from Bayfield, said her party is committed to a moratorium 00 the development of further nuclear plants until the views of the public are known and fully considered by govern- ment bodies. She said the party also believes in more research into renewable energy sources. The Liberal candidate, Graeme Craig of Walton, didn't commit himself to a mora- torium but agreed more studies should be made 011 the safety of the plants. He said Signs to be posted Signs will be posted soon by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in Blyth designating a playground area along highway 4. Blyth council received word f'roni the ministry at its meeting Monday evening. Council had written earlier in the year requesting. both pedestrian signs and playground signs. The ministry investigated and approved the playground signs but not the predestrian signs. The playground signs will be removed in the fall for the winter. Many youngsters have to cross the highway to the Lions wading pool, Councillors were'concerned over the absence of a cross walk in the village across the highway and many commented on the number of small children they had hclpted cross the busy highway. One suggestion was the older students be encouraged to help younger ones across. Len Rooney submitted his resignation as sanitation site caretaker. Mr. Rooney gave two weeks' notice and council accepted his resignation with regret. 'fenders will be opened for the position. Art Clark, of Maitland Engineering Services, mel with council to go over the conditions they had met laid out by the Ministry of Housing. The conditions would bring the proposed mobile home subdivision up to standards. 'I'hc new subdivision north of Blyth will soon be registered. The secondary plan will have to be approved before the final draft for the subdivision can be filed with the Ministry. Councillors are meeting with Huron county planner Gary Davidson, and Ian Deslaurier, and Roman Dzus to go over the maps of the secondary plan before the final draft is put up for public approval. Clerk Larry Walsh reported that 19 trees had been planted in the village by Mathers Landscaping. Not all the requests could be filled this year. Council granted $400 to the Blyth Horticultural Society. Council also received word from a new firm in Wingham, McMaster Insurance Agency who would like a chance to compete for the village insurance coverage. Spence Cummings, Huron's development officer sent council a design for a small sign to be clearly posted in the village indicating that industrial sites are available. information will be available at the clerk's office, Assessment review court was held April 11 and only Marathon Reality had a decrease in taxes. It amounts to $65 per year. experts "tell us CANDU reactors are safer than those with which there was trouble in Pennsylvania," The candidate's meeting opened with seven minute speeches by each of the candidates, followed by questions directed to candidates from the floor. Bob McKinley told the audience his party believes agriculture is one of the most vital components of society and must be given a more important and central role in society. The PC candidate said , his party is convinced greater export sales opportunities exist for agricultural products and would put agricultural salespersons in Canada's embassies to promote the sale of Canadian agricultural goods around the world, Mr. McKinley said his party would also attempt to bring producers and consumers closer together and to promote better (Continued on Pace 14) deficit of $2,429. As it stands now Blyth pays $730. Blyth will have less to pay next year since the residence is now full for 1979 and v•ts only partially filled during 1978. The total expense amounts to $42,140.94, Revenue from the Blyth apartments amounts to $9750 and is subsidized by $16,195 federally and $13,766 provincially. The remaining seven and a half per cent is shared over the county leaving a bill for $730, as opposed to $2429 without county wide program. Vandals rip signs Campaign workers for Liberal candidate Graeme Craig have been working expecially hard this past week to replace the signs and posters torn down in the Blyth area, Wingham and Goderich O.P.P. have not received any reports of the vandalism but warn that it is an offence under the election act and anyone caught destroying signs will be fined. Party workers have reported the incidence to the Blyth Standard.

(Standard Photo) ITPERFECT GIFTS FOR PERFECT MOMS leader a battle would ensue, (or worse yet a cold war that could last up to several days if not a full week). With a father that was, and most certainly is now, a staunch Conservative, and a mother that would never hesitate to vote Liberal, you can well imagine the ruckus when an election loomed over the horizon. Although 1 don't think it ever happened at our house 1 have heard of some households where one member would vote leaving the partner at home in hope they would not make it to the polls to cancel out the other vote, politics is a serious matter and no matter how little or how much we know about party background or benefits we are all swayed by per- sonalities and family ties. Family tics means stat• ments like "my father voted for the Tories years ago and what was good enough for my father is good enough for me." On the other hand my mother used to smile and smugly remark that every We have Spice Racks Coasters Slippers Ornaments Jewellery Tea Cups Floral Tributes Memorial Day Blyth VARIETY ;Queen Street ' 523-9221 time she goes to the polls she would cancel my father's Conservative vote with her Liberal one. Have you ever noticed just how much we tend to let our decision be altered by the personality of the party leader? This is the first election that I can remember having neglected to learn more about local candidates and spending my time and brain power on the party leaders. Each party has its own special promise that all sounds very nice. But after the last promises that failed to materialize or should we say materialized on the form of inflation controls,promises mean little, No ,this election will be decided by the silent majority on who appeals to them the most. If you have had a chance to see any of the commercials on TV or to listen to the catchy 30 second radio slots you will have to admit that elections play on your emotions. We hear of the inflation eating our wages and un- employment creating de- pressions and then we are faced with a sincere pudgy face that fills our screen and tells us a Trudeau govern- ment will only make things worse and that only a sincere guy like Joe can save the day. On the other hand a smooth voice asks us over the air waves who would we want negotiating with the OPEC countries, handling Quebec or creating a strong image for Canada? And let me tell you, it is not a vision of Joe Clark that pops into my mind but the same man that has been handling these occasions for the last 11 years. And then there is a good old NDP. 1 often feel that if the NDP did not have a party to swing into the fray it may be a boring election. Ed Broadbent's party has come up with in the past a number of reasonable suggestions for government policies and tax saving arrangements for us and the government in power has utilized those programs with a bit of rearranging. First impressions are often ! called the surest way of judging an individual and although not a good way to start off a relationship, a first impression often sets the tone,And that is . the situation with Joe Click. With his deadpan exprgsiron and talking into his chest it is little wonder that many voters are hesitating about voting for him although the Conservative party has really been pushing Joe's honest face and the idea that anything but Trudeau leading the country would be better. One of the deciding factors will be the debate Sunday night between the three leaders. Will the wit and determination of Trudeau win out over Broadbent's methodical practical answers or Clark's image of a cowboy in a ten gallon white hat? Whatever the outcome I am sure it will be very entertaining. IS YOUR PAPER DUE???. • This is the only notice you'll receive that your subscription is due.

The Minor Sports Association held its annual banquet and awards were presented to the top teams, coaches and managers. Parents and a few close relatives were on hand to note the occasion and as in past years there was a guest speaker. But unlike past years this one you could not hear. Pity. Clarence (Tubby) Schmalz leaned out over the head table and from the back appeared to be making quite a few statments that needed an audience. Many were looking forward to hearing Mr. Schmalz for several reasons. It seems he has quite a record in the hockey industry. Besides being president of Ontario Hockey Association for a full three years he won the OHA gold stick award and is now a life member of the OHA. On top of all this he was commissioner of Ontario Junior Hockey League for over four years. With all this background one would surmise that this was one man who would have a lot to say to the upcoming superstars. But such was not the case. Besides refusing to use the sound system that the master of ceremonies used, Mr. Shultz remarked on his own cold and from there it went downhill. Drifting to the back were vague comments about bribery and expenses in the hockey leagues. From the youngsters' point of view, whether it costs $40,000 to send a team to Europe or not means little when so few of them handle more than a dollar at one time. Speakers should gauge their material to suit the audience they are apealling to. Mr. Schmalz may have appealed to the business man in Toronto but lacked what was needed to appeal to young hockey players, more interested in their own games than high finance for the national leagues.

But unlike Mrs. Trudeau who provides a good deal of unintentional humour, Ontario Hydro's actions are no laughing matter. When it comes to the pros and cons of the atomic power situation I think I'm about as confused as the ordinary citizen. One thing however is evident, Ontario Hydro has behaved in a thoroughly irresponsible way to the people it is supposed to be serving: you and me. In this part of the country there arc few people today who would put much stock in anything Ontario Hydro has to say. Hydro has been a sort of reverse example of the old tale about the young boy who cried wolf. In his case, he yelled false bad news so often that people didn't believe hire when the wolf really did come. In Hydro's case, they've downplayed bad news so often that people don't believe them any more even when they are telling the truth. There are probably many around here who would doubt that Ontario Hydro officials know • how to tell the truth. Farmers along the route of the power corridors from the Bruce atomic plant would likely be among that group. They saw so much of Ontario Hydro's double dealing that they're not likely to ever have much faith in the utility again. For the rest of us it's just a case of listening in disbelief as Ontario Hydro tells us there's nothing to worry about no matter what happens. Hydro told us for years for instance that the Bruce plant was safe from intruders. That was at a time when fears had been expressed that terrorists could enter nuclear power plants and either sabotage them at great risk to surrounding inhabitants, or steal enough nuclear mater- ial to construct an atomic bomb. A group of people who were in opposition to nuclear power plants decided to test the claims of security. They took a boat out into Lake Huron, came ashore on the property of the plant, entered the plant and wandered around for quite a while before they were discovered. Ontario Hydro assured us that there really wasn't anything to fear, that the intruders really didn't get anywhere where they could have done something serious. For years critics of nuclear power plants had been saying that there were potential disasters waiting to happen. Ontario Hydro and similar officials across North America said there was nothing to fear, that these opponents were alarmists and trouble• makers. Then came the Three Mile Island incident in the U.S. where many of the problems predicted by the critics actually happened, During the incident the "ex. ports" told us there was really nothing to worry about. When the worst didn't happen they said that see, there wasn't really anything to worry about. Meanwhile we in Canada were being assured by Ontario Hydro that it couldn't happen here. Then word leaked out that many of the same things hacl already happened here but that Ontario Hydro had kept the information quiet. Nothing to worry about, Ontario Hydro told us. Then last weekend while trying to correct a problem in one of the reactors, two workmen entered the reactor building and ended up getting much heavier than recommended doses of radiation. Nothing to worry about Hydro said. Just an equipment failure that didn't warn the men that they were in clanger, Nothing to worry about. I wonder If Hydro told that to the two amen in question and their families, when these people worried about the effects of the radiation. Also interesting is how Hydro can assure us on one hand that their safety systems to prevent a tragedy are foolproof and at the same time use equipment failure as an excuse every time one of these incidents happens. But most evident is the fact that Ontario Hydro hasn't been giving us the straight goods, whatever they are. Like many experts whether they be in government. in science or some other field, the officials of Ontario Hydro and Atomic Energy of Canada have decided that the ordinary people 'don't have enough intelligence to understand what's going on so they must be protected from themselves. These officials know what is best for us so they'll keep as much information to themselves as possible and whenever someone questions them, they'll say that everything is all right and those who criticize don't know enough to be taken seriously. But democracy doesn't work that way. Democracy depends on providing as much information to the people as possible so they can make intelligent decisions. Sure the people can sometimes be stupid, can be swayed too easily one way or another, can make the wrong decision. But I'll take the decisions of a well-informed populace ahead of the devious workings of Ontario Hydro bureaucrats any day. 1 • 1• • • • LADIES AUXILIARY—The legion ladies of the Blyth Legion 420 installed their officers Thursday evening at the Blyth Legion Hall.

She started in 1971 after the death of former correspondent Mrs. Bert Allen, Mrs, Shobbrook had at that time been writing things like institute meetings for the paper and when asked if she would take over Mrs. Allen's job as correspondent agreed to do so. Mrs. Shobbrook says the people around Londesboro are pretty good about getting news into her but any news she hears about she phones and checks with the people to make sure it is accurate, She said quite a few people in the Londesboro area have been to Florida recently and she checks with them to see when they went, where they stayed and when they came home, Although she was in the restaurant across from the Bank of Montreal, the time the bank got robbed, she did not get a report into the paper as it was a Tuesday and she figured the paper would have already gone to press and that by the time the next week's paper came out it would be old news. About the biggest event Mrs. Shobbrook, can remember reporting is a fire in 1974 in a house owned by Gordon Harkes, The Don Squires family'lived there then. Mrs. Shobbrook keeps all the news she has ever written and sometimes other people make use of it, She said Rev. Stan McDonald had checked up on some church reports in some of the old news she had kept. It doesn't take her very long to get the news ready, Mrs, Shobbrook says. She likes to have all the meetings in by Sunday and then she just has to check up on things that have happened on the weekend. The majority of her news is about visitors with people in the community who have recently lost someone. She said the Lions Club and recreation committee give any special news they haw to her, She also gets church news, as well a: news from the cubs and scouts and other organizations. She usually writes up church news and other news first, leaving the personal newt' till last. Mrs, Shobbrook appreciates any. thing that is reported to her because as she says, "You can't do this on your own." ylr x:'.... i:�m. Obitu ar y MRS. CHARLES SCOTT Funeral services were held on Thursday, May 3rd for Mrs. Charles Scott who died May 1st in Clinton Public hospital after a lingering illness of several years.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, MAY 9, 1979 — 7 Huron Theatre plans drive Bert Albertson, Chairman of the Subscription Com- mittee for the Huron Country Playhouse, has announced that the 1979 subscription ticket campaign is underway. During the next six weeks, enthusiastic volunteers, members of the Playhouse Board of Trustees and staff are throwing their energies into increasing the number of people from the Southwestern Ontario region who hold season tickets. Mr, Albertson said 'Subscribers are the backbone of the theatre. And in a very important way, they are part of the theatre they patronize. It is their support of the whole season of plays that determines the quality of the productions. Subscribers can be proud of their theatre and know that they contributed to its ex- cellence." Chula Black, Publicity Director for the Playhouse, added, "Support from the surrounding communities give inspiration to the work of all the theatre artists who work on each production." The plans •for the campaign include a kiosk in shopping districts around the region every weekend until the opening of the first show. Members of the committee will be holding wine and cheese parties for their friends and neighbours. Members of the Playhouse will also attend to discuss the season and the importance of local support. Mr. Albertson said, "This is one of the best buys around. A subscription of five tickets for $25 dollars is a savings of $1,00 off each ticket, For the high quality that we have to offer, that is a very good deal." Subscriptions arc available now at the Playhouse box office.

EXPLORERS Explorers held their meeting May 3rd in Sunday Shell to lease mineral rights If Shell Canada doesn't Iind oil in Huron County it won't be because county council stood in the way. Council agreed Thursday to lease mineral rights on 1,186- acremf county owned land to Shell. The lease, for one dollar per year per acre, is a ten year pact. Shell leased all county owned land between the Lake Huron shoreline and Highway 4. The bulk of the property is in Colborne, Ashfield, Ea sl Wawanosh and West Wawanosh townships. The lease on most of the plots is subject to the approval of the ministry of natural resources, The land is used for county forestation projects and the province picks up part of the costs for those projects. The provincial government does not advocate private leasing arrangements on publicly awned land and in the past has refused to permit such leases to be granted. County clerk 13i11 Hanley said no worst has yet been received from the province as to whether it approves of the leasing, But he explained that the lease with Shell may not upset natural resources since it contains a noentry clause. He said the ministry is anxious to protect the forest land pointing out that the Shell lease does nothing to upset the natural growth on the property. He said the lease is for mineral rights only and docs not permit Shell to go on the land for any reason. Hanly said he did not know how county council would react to 0 ministry disapproval. He said council may just go ahead with the lease contrary to the province's wishes or may forget the whole thing. David Johnston, a GIVE MOTHER AN ATTRACTIVE NICKEL -PLATED SPOON FOR MOTHER'S DAY Wilson's Health & Gift Centre Phone 523-4440 B spokesman for Shell, told the development committee his bran was anxious to get a handle on the lands in Huron near the lakeshore. He said much of the land had already been leased but explained that if oil is found on one property neighbouring properties must be credited with that find. Because of that any money arising from oil found on land Shell had leased would have to be shared •,%;ilr I;�ighbouring landowners 11' Shell .did not have leases on those proper'tles. Johnson told council his firm was not interested in drilling test wells if it did not have land surrounding those test sites leased, He indicated at the March session of county council that unless the county granted mineral leases • no test drilling would be done, Johnson told council seismic testing done in the county last summer had indicated there may be oil deposits here. He said it was impossible to tell how much oil was here or if there was any just that there may be some, .Johnson refused to say where Shell was interested in drilling its test well and would not even tell the development committee. He said the search for oil was very competitive and he could not, for those reasons, give anything away. Hanley said the committee did not really press Johnson for any particulars on the test well. The lion's share ()I' the leased land is in Colborne township. Almsot one third of the total acreage, 594 acres, is in Colborne. Another 250 acres is in East Wawanosh township. 150 acres in Ashfield, 99 acres in West Wawanosh, 84 acres in Stanley township and two acres in Hay and seven acres Correction In a cutline under a picture of the Lions directors in last weeks Blyth . Standard Murray Manning was incor- rectly identified as Earl Fyfe, Mr. Fyfe was absent that evening. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused, in Goderich township. Speculation in the county offices indicates that the test well will be drilled either in West Wawanosh or ,'shlield township, Huronview April was a busy month at Huronview when residents enjoyed programs presented by arca groups: Elsie Hen- derson and the Lobb family entertained the residents at a family night with a variety of numbers early in the month and the over -90 Club was held when music and re- freshments were served, Mary Broadfoot at the piano, Ken Dale on the guitar, Lorne Lawson -mouth organ and Wilson McCartney on violin, entertained the residents for a delightful hour of music on April 9th and the next day the res- idents went on a shopping spree as Caravan Clothes from Toronto brought in a wide variety of clothes for the residents to choose from. This was followed by a 994 movie on April 11 when "Other Side of The Moun- tain" came to Huronview.

Wawanosh sells land West Wawanosh council passed a bylaw authorizing the sale to Grant Chisholm of one acre of land oft' the gravel pit farm at their meeting 'Tuesday. Council is to apply for an advance from the Ministry of Housing in the amount Of $27,500 under the Ontario Horne Renewal Program. West Wawanosh council adopted the Ontario Horne Renewal Program Guide for Residential Property as its basis for building standards in the Township. Council approved a one hundred do Ilar grant to the Lucknow Agricultural Society and the Dungannon Agricultural Society. Tenders for the construction of a portion of sidewalk in Dungannon, and removal of old concrete from the site beforehand were opevled and discussed. Eight tenders were receNed for construction and six for the removal of the old sidewalk, 'fenders for construction ranged from $3,570 to $14,400 and for removal of concrete from $475 to $1,800. The tender of Murray Simpson, R. R. 113, Wingham, at $3,570.00 for construc- tion of sidewalks in Dungannon; and the tender of Cecil Cranston, R. r. 112, Auburn, to remove and dispose of the old concrete at $475.00 were accepted, The Reeve was authorized to sign, on behalf of the Township, an Agreement with John Hakkers for drainage of road water across his property. Building Permits were issued to T. Pegg, for a workshop and D. Graham for a garage, The Clerk was directed to write J. Smith to the effect that a building permit could not be authorized until the correct property registra- tion was established, A building permit for the Lucknow Christian school Society was refused on the grounds that all conditions set down by the Land Division Committee on the issuance of the severance, had not been met. The conditions concerned zoning. An Application for Loan for tile drainage submitted by G. Ribe y was accepted by Council. Candidates at F of A (Continued from Page I) understanding between the two groups. Moira Couper said agriculture is import- ant since it is the social fabric or the local community, and without it the community breaks up, She said her party favors the creation of land banks in which the government purchases farmland and then leases or sells it to farmers at a reasonable rate. She also advocated using Canada's re- sources to create more secondary industry, at the sante time providing employment for more Canadians, She said the NDP party plans to establish a Nair Prices C'onunission to investigate items which are priced questionably high and to "investigate the costs between the farm gate and the consumer." Graeme Craig told the audience while Canada's inflation rate has been attacked, last week it was only nine per cent in Canada compared to a 13 per cent inflation rate in IIIc U.S. Ile said while campaigning he hadn't had as many questions about I'rinre Minister i� roc •Trudeau as Inc had received about the (mipctenc), of the leader of the Progressive •onservalives to he prince minister of the uunlrv. He said the Agricultural Export Council 'nominee(' by the prime minister in April ill he working with marketing boards and ;►rovincial governments in the future to negotiate better access to foreign markets lor Canadian agricultural products. Mr. Craig told the audience he could •ventually like to see lower interest rates for 1►uth the beginning farmer and for the small ousinessmen. Another audience member asked each •8urdidute to give their views on the gun untrol laws now in existence. Roll McKinley said the PC's were opposed 1) the current law, since they felt it was too t strictivc for gun collectors, hunters and i,+rn►ers protecting livestock. Ile said he ad raised the issue in the House Of a person laking a gun to for repair and then needing an acquisitions permit in order to reclaim it, Mr. McKinley said the Solicitor General introduced an amendment to the act following his question. Mr. McKinley said the gun control law "still has to be straightend out so it will not affect the average person," Mr. Craig said, "If you're going to shoot someone, then it won't make much differ- ence if you have to go out and purchase a certificate first." He told the audience he is hopeful legislation can be brought in making gun control less of a burden on hunters. Moira Couper said she felt there should be more training available on how to use guns properly and carefully. She said personally she felt the government needed to work to improve conditiions in society so people wouldn't be shooting in anger. Candidates were asked for their views on the abortion question by audience member Dirk van der Wcrf. Both Graeme Criag and Bob McKinley said they did not agree with abortion on demand, Mrs. Couper said she believed abortion was a matter between a woman and her doctor. In response to requests for candidates' opinions on capital punishment from Blue - vale arca farmer Bev Brown, Gracmc Craig replied he understood capital punishment was enforced only in the murder of a prison guard or police officer. Saying, "I wouldn't want to be the person to pull the plug on someone," the candidate called for harsher sentences rather than the death penalty. 1301) McKinley said it wasn't true about capital punishment being enforced in the case of guards and told the audience that both times the vote on capital punishment came up in the House, he had voted for the retention of the death penalty and would do so again. Mrs. Coupe'• said the NDP party voted against capital punishment and said she believes "we must do something about the condition of our society ...that's where we must start." Tony McQuail asked candidates whether they would recommend that incentives be provided to encourage energy conservation on the farm. Graeme Craig said $250 million had already been allotted to solar healing research in Canada and that he had noticed on his door-to-door campaigning that people are becoming more energy conscious in regard to home heating. Bob McKinley agreed educational pro- grams are need on energy conservation and said the province had had a program to encourage farmers trying to experiment with alternate energy sources. He said, "we must stand by the tried and true methods until a lot more work is done." Moira Couper said the NDP party recom- mends an increase in the energy research budget. Tony McQuail said he didn't feel any of the candidates had answered his question fully. "As a farmer I feel somewhat concerned 1hal the agricultural industry may be being neglected ... without incentives , presented, and encouragement we will never see the development of alternatives we can turn to." Another ntcnnber of the audience referred to the gun control issue again. He said a rabid coyote had been sighted near Londes- boro 'Thursday morning and although the ministry had been notified of the sighting immediately, no one showed up to look into the situation until evening. He said, "I feel we (farmers) have go to have a gun around," He added, "You can't take a stick to a rabid animal." Bev Brown, second vice-president of the federation, said she was pleased when an Agricultural Export Council as formed by the federal government but she said she was disappointed on its advisory role, "What we need is money spent on salespeople overseas marketing our superior Canadian farm products," she told the candidates. Gracmc Craig said plans for the commit- tee still aren't completely formulated, but he pointed out the majority of directors on the • committee arc farmers. He said hopefully the committee will have the same results marketing other farm products as the Canadian Wheat Board had in marketing grain overseas. Bob McKinley criticized the fact the committee would function only in • an advisory capacity. He told the audience, "We (the PCs) believe embassies and trade missions already in place can play a major part in selling agricultural products." He called the new committee, "a public relations operation by the government." WHAT DO YOU THINK GERRARD? — Mrs. Pierre de Vos got an opinion on a shawl from Gerrard Valet as her husband looked on when they were taken on a tour of the area around Brussels and stopped in at the Old Mill in Blyth. The three had been here from Brussels Belgium to do a radio program on Brussels Ontario as part their 1000th anniversary celebrations. (Brussels Post Photo) County says no to Goderich Huron County council did not dispute the worth of an integration program for mentally handicapped people in Goderich but balked at supporting the• program because it is not county wide. Council accepted the recommmendation of its executivc committee Thursday and turned down a request from the Goderich Recreation department for funds. The executive committee heard the request in March and turned it down at that time but council was asked to delay final decision on the matter until a more complete presentation could be made by the Goderich rcc department. , Goderich reeve Eileen Palmer persuaded council not to make final decision on the request without hearing a presentation from Jane Netzke, program co ordinator in the Goderich rcc ,department. Palmer said the mentally handicapped people in the program were from Goderich and the surrounding area. She said she did not know exactly how many handicapped were involved in the program or how many municipalities were involved but asked that a decision be delayed until that information could be AUBURN Mrs. and Mrs, Tom Jardin and Mrs, Elva Straughan visited last week with Mr, and Mrs. c Layton Robertson at Mcaford. Mrs. Straughan remained for a couple of weeks visit with her daughter and son-in-law. Mr. and Mrs, Tom Jardin visited last week with his brother, Mr. Frank Jardin at Barrie. Netzke explained that the program was started in Goderich under a ministry of community and social services grant that paid all costs. That grant expired in 1978. At that time parents and people involved in the integration program joined in an appeal to Goderich town council to keep the program operating and council responded by funding the program for at least one more year. County clerk Bill Hanly summed up the concerns of the committee when he told council Thursday that recreation was the responsibility of the municipality. 1979 WOODSMAN — Don Cartwright, Auburn had his campsite set up early for the primitive camping rendezvous on the weekend.

When these tiffs become heated, I am frequently told, in a typical wifely digression, when she is logically cornered, that i know almost nothing about music. it has nothing to do with the argument, but 1 hear, "You couldn't even find middle C on the piano," in tones of contempt, i cheerfully admit to that fact and the further fact that I don't give a diddle, which fans the flames. This always non-complusses her, which is the object. But, when a music festival looms, and looms is the words, i suddenly discover that "You have a good ear, and a great sense of rhythm and tempo," and 1 realize, with an inward groan, that I'm in for hours of listening to minuets and gavottes and sonatinas, and making judgments based on my good car and great sense of etc, It all began about 20 years ago, Both our kids were taking piano lessons, and doing well. One evening I was sitting idly, reading my paper and wagging my foot in time to the sonatina my son was preparing for a music festival. My foot got going so fast 1 couldn't even read the printed word for the vibration. "Hcy," I thought, "this kid isn't Chopin or Padcrcwski. That's a mite quick for a grade six piece," I made my wife sit down and listen, She checked the tempo in the book. He was playing about double speed. She brought it THE BLYTH STANISARD, MAY 9, 1979 — 15 Music festival time to the attention of his music teacher, who was a little shocked and embarrassed to realize that old tin car was right. Happy ending, We got the kid slowed to half -speed, and he won first prize. That was the end of any peace for me, . around festival time. Ever since, I've had to listen to dozens of kids play all their festival pieces, and come up with some enlightening comment about things of' which 1 have absolutely no knowledge, like pace, tone, rhythm, tempo, appogiaturo, forte, crescendo and the like. I don't even know what the words mean, In self-defence, I've concocted a number of comments about as useful as the things teachers write on report cards. Things like: "perhaps the second movement is a bit subdued;" or, "Yes, that's holding to- gether nicely," or "don't you think the andante allegro is a bit turgid?" When you don't know an andante from an allegro, if one were to crawl out of your soup, it seems to do the trick. That worked pretty well when the old girl had twenty -odd students, And was churn- ing out prize -winners by the dozen at every festival. She'd be satisified that I was listening and would go right ahead and have the kid play the piece the way she knew it should be played. But this time around, she doesn't have the same old confidence, because she's been a vay,from it so long. She makes me actually listen, instead of just appearing to. When I question the speed of a piece, she plays it at four different speeds, and forces me to make a judgment. They all sound the same to me.

It's hard to get into the mood when I'm in my bedroom slippers, painting pants and old sport shirt. Have you ever tried prancing around on the strains of a gavotte, on a, Saturday morning, when you know your neighbours can see in the windows and are wondering what on earth Smiley got into at this hour of the day? Have you ever tried to "Bum -bum -bum" your way through a sonatina, at the same time trying to clap your hands to establish the time and to read the headlines about the coming election.

On Easter weekend, we really lived it ap. We went to see Great -Grandad, who is recovering from an operation, and came home the next day to help Kim, who arrived with Batman and Robin, as they call themselves, figure out her income tax. Naturally, she didn't have half the inform- ation. And Balind, three, asserted that he was no longer Robin, but the Incredible Hulk, whatever that is. But The Festival is right up there like a bill board, with all its infighting, anxiety, lousy adjudicator (if you lose), teachers teetering on the verge of a coronary, and mothers tearing their hair out in clumps. Next year, I hope the old lady takes up karate or skydiving, or something sane and sensible and safe, Music festivals are murder.

HOME & GARDEN IMPROVEMENT SUPPLEMENT TO THE HURON EXPOSITOR THE BRUSSELS POST THE BLYTH STANDARD WEEK OF MAY 7, 1979 2 — HOME & GARDEN IMPROVEMENT WEEK OF MAY 7, 1979 Lawns require care and proper nutrition. Be sure yours gets a proper balanced combination of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. Nitrogen encourages greening and helps build a healthy root system. But nitrogen is the most scarce element in the soil and is easily dissolved by rain and watering. That's why most garden centers carry special lawn fertilizers. ' , which include water insoluble nitrogen for extended greening. It's easy to put down on your lawn with a lawn spreader, as shown above, and should be applied every four to six weeks, followed by watering.

ROYAL BANK .., for BRUSSELS BRANCH Keeping your lawn in mint condition If you have planted a new lawn, you'll want to ensure that it grows into a perma- nent part of your landscape. A beautiful lawn doesn't happen by magic . but lawn care doesn't have to be a problem as long as you re- member the basics—provide proper watering, feed it good nutrients, keep it well - mowed and weed -free, How much water you should give your lawn really depends on variables like the climate, type of soil, and sea- son. You can learn by work- ing out a flexible watering schedule and noting how your lawn reacts. Keep in mind that grass roots will extend themselves only in moist areas, so with just a superficial sprinkling the roots won't penetrate deep into the soil. A water supply six inches to one foot deep will be adequate for most lawns... You awns,,- You can test for water depth simply by poking a screwdriver into the ground. If it slips in easily to 6 inches, the soil is properly moist. Like all living things, your lawn needs nutrition and the recommended menu is a bal- anced combination of nitro- gen, phosphorous, and potassium. Nitrogen is the mainstay of the diet since it encourages greening and helps build up a healthy root system; yet. it's also the most scarce element in the soil and Greenhouses are a popular hobby BY BRUCE McBRIDE The public is becoming increasingly interested in small greenhouses as a hobby and as a means of gardening year round. Many gardeners are constructing hobby greenhouses from their own plans, while others purchase kits available from suppliers. Before one begins, local climate conditions warrant careful investigation to ensure structural adequacy of the proposed unit. A good foundation is essential to anchor the small greenhouse and prevent a possible tip -over during windy weather. Either a concrete or a pressure - treated post foundation must be constructed to go below the frost level. Some green- house suppliers have prefab cedar foundations which extend 18 inches below ground level. Quonset -style green- houses are usually formed of galvanized steel pipe hoops covered with one or two layers of polyethylene. Self - builders often erect the greenhouse structural frame from wood which, if painted or treated, should give long life to the greenhouse. Red cedar and redwood are the best woods to use for the framework due to their natural weathering resist- ance and their resistance to shrinking and warping. When selecting a green- house covering, factors such as percentage of light trans - Tree planting can reduce energy bills Want a beautiful way to reduce your gas and electric bills? Plant some trees. Research shows that plant- ing deciduous trees at the west and south sides of the house can reduce summer cooling bills and winter heat- ing bills by 10 to 20 percent. Savings vary depending on climate. In South Dakota, a plains state with high winter winds, fuel consumption was measured for two identical houses, one with a windbreak of trees and the other exposed. The tree - protected house had 25%less fuel consumption. mission, thermal radiation transmittance, life of the material and initial invest- ment must be considered and evaluated collectively. Polyethylene can be put on the frame as a double layer and air blown between the layers to cut heat costs 30 to 40 per cent as compared to a single -layer poly -house. The poly -house is easy to con- struct and is about 50 per cent of the cost of a glass greenhouse. Double poly- ethylene transmits 81 per cent of available light but has the drawback of usually last- ing only one growing season. Glass greenhouses have a high initial cost but have the highest life of any covering material. Glass has a very high light transmittance of 90 per cent. Reinforced fiber- glass panels have good light transmittance, with many panels having a guaranteed life of 15 to 20 years. Other rigid panels available are acrylic glass and PVC panels. The disadvantage of a small greenhouse is that it heats up quickly when the sun is out and also cools quickly when the sun goes behind a cloud. This char- acteristic necessitates the use of heaters and proper ventilation. The hobby greenhouse can be constructed free standing or as a lean-to "to an existing structure. is easily dissolved by rain and watenng. To help keep lawns in "mint" condition, most gar- den centers now carry spe- cial lawn fertilizers, like Or- tho's Lawn Food 24-4-8, which include water insolu- ble nitrogen for extended greening. Easy to spread with the Ortho lawn spreaders, this formula should be applied every four to six weeks, fol- lowed by watering fora quick greening response. With good care, quick greening will go hand in hand with quick growing. But if you let the grass grow too high, then cut it very low, you'll suddenly subject stems that have been shaded to sunburn and your once green lawn will look like straw. Most grasses respond well to mowing higher than you might expect, so if you're in doubt check with your local garden center. For a hand- some finish, you might even cut your lawn twice, once in each direction, If broadleaf weeds appear to mar the beauty of your lawn, use a broad spectrum weed killer It will conquer daride- lion,. chickweed, clover, plantains and many other broadleaf weeds, as listed on the label.

Harvest time should be early in the morn- ing, after dew drops have disappeared but before hot sunlight brings out the oils, The first time around, cut herbs several inches above the ground; for the second major harvest, you may snip all the way down. Flowers should be clipped for drying or fragrances when ftsi r Growing tomatoes in containers is an excellent idea if you have proper sunlight. The accepted minimum requirement of sun- light for tomato plants is eight hours. they have just opened and are still fresh, Seed heads should be cut once they have taken on color but before they have opened and seeds are scatter- ing. Pick a warm, dry day, cut off the entire heads or stems, and put them in a paper bag. Cut herbs should be taken out of the sunlight im- mediately after harvesting, separated, and rinsed clean, Then drain them and remove bad leaves or petals. Preserving the herbs you've so carefully har- vested is the next step, and the classic way to save most leaves, seeds, and flowers is by drying them. To quick -dry herbs, spread them on a cheese -cloth covered rack and bake them in your oven at its lowest temperature, leaving the oven door open. To keep flowers and foliage colorful, bury them in a drying medium like borax powder or fine-grained builders' sand, according to directions in the Ortho book. Tender herbs like basil, fennel, dill and parsley can also be preserved by freezing the leaves or salt curing— packing them down in salt, Simply remove the leaves from their stems and place them in a container between layers of salt filled to the top.

Harvest leafy herbs just before, or as the flower buds open. Collect seed herbs when the seeds are just ripe. After harvesting, herbs should be properly dried, to concentrate and preserve the flavoring oils, Seeds can be dried in almost any warm, dry place. Dry the leaves by hanging bunches of the cut stalks, upside down, in a warm, dry, well -ventilated, preferably dark room. When leaves are dry,and crisp, they can be finely ground through a wire mesh, packed in dark glass containers or air -tight tin cans, and stored in a dry place, away from direct light. Growing your own herbs is a very satisfying way of reducing food costs, and adding extra flavor to your meals. Many cooks like to grow their own herbs and spices. Harvesting and preserving these plants is easy, according to the new Ortho book, "The World of Herbs & Spices." With most herbs the proper time to harvest is when the flowers are almost open and the oils heavily concentrated. There are a number of ways to preserve herbs and spices, the classic method being to dry them. Flavour vinegars yourself One pleasureable thing you can do with herbs and spices is create your own pri- vate collection of flavored vinegars. Colorful and varied vin- egars in interesting bottles ae a visual asset to kitchen shelves as well as tasty addi- tions to salads and other dishes. Pretty bottles with a sprig of herb immersed in the vinegar make welcome gifts. The flavoring procedure is simple, according to Ortho's new book "The World of Herbs & Spices." Just add four ounces fresh herb or spice, or two ounces of dried, to each quart of cold vinegar. Leave it for five or six weeks to develop flavor. Then strain the vinegar into clean bottles, or leave fresh herb twigs in for show, You can use any store bought vinegar—white, wine, cider or malt. White vinegar will let the flavor of the herb or spice shine through. Other vinegars 'dd their own characteristics to the end product. If you want flavored vin- egar in a hurry, bring the vin- egar and spices to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes, Pour into bottles and cap.

Sun- light combines with water and atmospheric carbon dioxide which are converted, in the presence of light, into carbohydrates. With these carbohydrates the plant pro- duces new leaves, stems and flowers. Don't forget house plants Your vacation plans are almost complete. You are wondering what to do with the houseplants you've pampered all year. Burke McNeill, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food extension horticulturist, says there are a number of solutions to 'your plant sitting problems, The best solution is to find an accommodating neighbor to water the plants while you are away. If you are fortunate enough to fund such a plant sitter, leave watering in• structions, especially if the person is inexperienced with plants. "It doesn't take long to kill a plant by over -watering, " he says. Another solution is to put the plants in about two inches of water in the bath- tub or kitchen sink. If there is no natural light in the room it is advisable to leave a light on. Using this method, Mrs. McNeill says plants can Regular • • pruning is necessary Once you learn how to. shape and protect your. shrubs. you'll want to prune regularly. In the case of de- ciduous shrubs (those which shed leaves in winter) re- move dead growth. and the remaining parts of the plant will receive more of the food stored in the roots, trunk, and limbs. One way to prune decidu- ous shrubs for gradual re- newal is by thinning out the; old wood. This opens the interior of the plant to more sunlight and air, and encourages growth at the base of the plant that will eventually renew the top, Do not. however, indis- criminately whack off the entire top of your shrubbery, or excess bushiness will re- sult and destroy the natural shape of your plant. Generally speaking, shrubs that flower in the summer are best pruned right after flowering, survive for about two weeks. You can also make your own automatic watering system using clear plastic bags. First water the plants thoroughly and insert two stakes, slightly taker than the plant, into each pot. Put the bag over the top of the plant and fasten to the pot rim with a rubber band. This will alow water condensing inside the bag to drain into the soil. Mr. McNeill says once in the bags, the plants should be set in a cool spot away from direct sunlight. This will provide an ideal environ- ment for houseplants for about two weeks. However, this method is not recom- mended for soft plants, such as fibrous begonias. This type of plant may rot because of excess moisture. For longer vacations, there are several automatic watering devices available at garden centers and other plant outlets. In some of Ontario's larger centers, pro- fessional plant sitters are available for hire to care for your prized house plants.

For many years, such problems have been brought to the University of Guelph, and referred to faculty mem- bers in several departments for answers. Among those who responded to such queries were the late Prof. J.C. Taylor, and Professors H. Goble and C.B. Kelly, who recently retired from their faculty positions. Modern demands for up- dated information on pesti- cides, and a steadily growing number of all inquiries now require a morc co-ordinated system, with specimens for identification and other enquiries directed to a cen- tral location, The new clinic achieves this, and will pro- vide a more prompt and better service to the public. The clinic will be staffed, initially, with a diagnost- ician, R.T, Wukasch, assist- ed by both Prof. Goble and Prof. Kelly on a part time basis.

Well, things may not be quite as bad around your house, but many growing families do feel the pinch of space .. , especially when the time comes for young- sters to have rooms of their own. Be it ever so small, a child really does need a place of his or her own, According to psychologists, it should be a place that offers lots of stimulation — colors, pat- terns, textures, the play of light and shadow, All of which can make a room fun to be in — and serve a seri- ous purpose, too. Accord- ing to the famous, child development specialist Jean Piaget, environments that stimulate the senses also stimulate the brain .. , so a child's room really plays an important part in his/her growing up.

You can choose from a whole collection of wall - coverings for children called, "Growing Up with Wall -Tex," It's designed so that you can put different patterns together — an ideal way to divide a room for two 'youngsters, yet keep it look- ing "together." And, it's also designed to make it easy to make changes as the children grow older. A final tip from the ex - i perts: when you plan your child's room, let the child share in the planning.

Consider using shirred curtains that allow Tight into the room, Windows in a small room such as a bedroom can help expand the area if they echo an overall pattern. Use one pattern for the bedspread, walls and windows for a charming, roomier effect, You can make the most of a small window that has a lovely view by using a shade instead of curtains. When the shade is raised, your view is given full promi- nence. What to do with a win- dow that's directly over a radiator or air conditioner'?

That extra room might be just underfoot That extra room you're looking for could be just a few steps away — in the basement, Because the basics are already there, finishing a basement can be a considerably less-expen- sive hone improvement than either expansion or a room addition. Should you decide to handle it as a do-it- yourself project, you can save even more money. Before you go out and buy materials, however, there are two things to check; the local building code to deter- mine whether the furnace and water heater may re- quire a special enclosure, and the basement itself, Make sure it's dry. Inspect it after a steady rainfall, One idea you might con- sider, especially if there are children in the family, is converting the basement into a family room for enter- tainment and recreation, If the basement is dry and in fairly good shape, all you may need is wall paneling, a ceiling, some furniture and perhaps tile for the floor, Your local lumber dealer has a wide selection of west- ern wood available for the project. The walls may need fur- ring strips to accommodate the wall paneling. Once the paneling is installed, con- sider cabinets along a wall for storage space. They can Ample overhead lighting be framed with 2x2 lir or and light-colored ceiling pine.

If they have lijlr-up brighter. seats, they also can be used for storage, This arrange- ment saves floor space for entertaining, For a custom look, use the same cedar or pine board paneling on the door and drawers of the cabinets as on the walls. The counter- tops can be used I'or a stereo or TV set or as a buffet counter for refreshments. Multi-purpose rooms Rooms can no longer af- ford just to sit there — and do only one thing. Neither can furniture. As our per- sonal share of the world's square footage dwindles, we have arrived at the age 01' multiple -function and dual - purpose. The extra • room that had a specific function in large Victorian houses now has to pull its weight in use- fulness and versatility, doubling often as a family room or to sleep a guest. 8 - HOME & GARDEN IMPROVEMENT WEEK OF MAY 7, 1979 CONVERTING A BASEMENT INTO THAT EXTRA ROOM YOU NEED can be a home improvement that is considerably less expensive than the usual room addition. Using western cedar or pine for the wall paneling as well as the cabinets gives it a custom look. Windows are a challenge Windows can present a challenge to your decorat- ing skill, as they are impor- tant not only for light and view, but also in relation to your overall scheme. Often windows pose a problem, due to placement or size, Two small win- dows, separated by a nar- row wall, for instance, may create a difficulty for the home decorator. One solu- tion would be to turn the wall area into a shelf unit ex- tending to the floor, then hang floor -length draperies at each window to unify the entire area. Sliding glass windows are a delight in any home, par- ticularly if they look out on a nice view. However, to cut glare and heat in the sum- mer, you may wish to cur- tain them in some way. You can find attractive draperies to line the entire wall, or you might want to try some- thing different, If a handy- man is available, have him fashion window frames to serve as sliding panels.

FRED McGEE AUTO ELECTRIC "Sales Backed By Service” LTD. 355 Josephine Street, Wingham Ph. 357-1416 HOME & GARDEN IMPROVEMENTIWEEK OF MAY 7, 1979 — 9 New windows can cut fuel bills No home energy check is complete without a careful look at your windows. If your windows are tight -fitting and well -insulated, they probably supply your home with more solar heat than is lost by cold air leaking in through the glass. But if they are loose and drafty, you are heating the whole outdoors and should ,consider replacement win- dows. Recent findings of the AAMA (Architectural Alu- minum Manufacturers Asso- ciation) Research Founda- That's because solar tion show that the solar heat energy penetrates through gained through windows, es- glass and becomes heat to pecially when they face furnish warmth, Thus, even a southeast and southwest, can large picture window, prop - actually provide a significant erly installed, can conserve amount of the total heat re- energy rather than waste it, quired for a conventional and can be as energy-effi- home, cient as a well -insulated wood wall. Thermalized glass window replacements can signifi- cantly reduce heat loss through loose -fitting single - glazed windows, This means that within a few years, sav- ings in fuel use may offset the cost of the new windows, to say nothing of added com- fort, There are many types of replacement windows, but each year aluminum is most popular. Many aluminum windows are manufactured with a thermal break, which means that they will insulate as well as wood or vinyl, Aluminum frames also offer the advantages of light weight, rigidity, strength and tight fit. Moreover, the metal won't shrink, swell or rust. and it requires little mainte- nance. Which is older - you or your home? Homes and humans share at least one common charac- teristic: they both grow old. For human beings, there are many tell -talc signs of the passage of time: a few streaks of gray, a memory lapse here and there, and the beginnings of a paunch politely referred to as middle -age spread, But where a home is con- cerned, the signs may not be as evident—unless you know where to look. And if you do know where to look, chances arc you are going to discover some interesting facts. Dropping in For starters, you can begin with the roof over your head, One of the first sure signs of old age in a roof is when it drops in, unannounced, while you're watching the Sunday afternoon baseball game. Very inconvenient, though it might he taken as a hint that your roof needs to be replaced. Other suggestions are less subtle, of course, And that's why it's good sense to make a periodic examination of your roof's condition, according to the roofing experts at the CertainTeed Home Institute. New damage New roofs which have suf- fered limited damage from a storm or from falling objects can be repaired easily. It's a relatively simple task to re- place damaged or blown - away shingles. And loose shingles usually present no real problems because they can be re -nailed. On the other hand, if the roof has weathered many a storm and has developed a small leak, it may require more extensive repair, like patching around the flashing points—the seams where different sections of the roof meet. Sooner or Inter... Sooner or later, however, all roofs must be replaced. Just like humans, today's heroes on the football field must someday give way to the next generation. Standard asphalt -shingled roofs usually last about 15 years before they need to be replaced, You should then begin looking for the tell-tale signs of failure. So how can you tell if your roof is heading for the last roundup? The sure signs of a weath- ered roof are excessive loss of protective granules and cracked, blistered, curled or missing shingles. Head off problems To make sure you head off problems before they begin, check the base of your downspouts for signs of ex- cessive granule loss, and in- spect your attic with a flashlight for signs of leaks. Best of all try to determine' the age of your roof, As stated, a roof of standard 15 year old shingles is a prime candidate for re -roofing un- less it has gone through ex- ceptionally good weather conditions. When , considering a , new , roof for your home, you'll find that the selection of roof- ing products available is quite varied compared to the products offered in the past. Consider wisely Consider your purchase wisely, not only because it can save you time and money, but also because today you have a choice of many types of roofing prod- ucts which offer different ad- vantages. Vl'cigh ads foliages For instance, while a wood roof is attractive, it is also very expensive and, if not properly treated with chemical fire retardants, may be a fire hazard as well. Slate, while it offers excep- tional durability and lurit- term performance, is mor; expensive than other types of roofing materials. In addition, slate is of heavy construction, and requires sturdy roof support not usually found in the newer homes. Variety of colors Felt -based asphalt shingles are available in a wide variety of colors and offer easy main- tenance. Though they are comparatively inexpensive and will last from 15-25 years, felt -based asphalt shingles offer limited fire pro- tection. New fiber glass -based as- phalt shingles also offer a wide choice of colors. In ad- dition, they have received a wind resistance rating from Underwriters Laboratories, and in most cases carry an Underwriters Laboratories superior Class "A" rating for fire resistance. They're not human Fiber glass -based shingles are also particularly durable. CertainTeed Corporation, for example, offers a 20-25 year warranty on theirs. But whichever roofing product you happen to choose, one thing is impor- tant to remember. Roofs do not age as gracefully as hu- mans, but then, who would, if they never came in from the rain? How do you know when it's time for repainting? The exteriors of most houses need repainting every five to six years. The climate, the condition of the surface, surface preparation and the quality of the paint used on a house may add or subtract a few years from this figure. A thorough annual inspec- tion of the outside of your house is the best way to de- termine if it needs repainting, says the National Paint and Coatings Association. Annual inspections enable you to accurately judge how the paint is weathering. Start your inspection with the areas where moisture col- lects and those subject to heavy wear. It is in these areas that the first signs of wear usually appear. Some- times spot painting in these areas is all your home needs. Preparation counts Wash any areas that need painting with soapy water, nnsc, sand smooth and re- paint, Check the condition of the siding, especially at the corners of your house where moisture can get behind the siding and cause premature paint failure, If some of the siding needs to be replaced, now is the time, While you are at it, check the condition of gutters, downspouts and caulk, too, After exposure to harsh win- ter weather they may need cleaning, replacing or re- painting. All repairs should be made before you paint. Take time now Overall appearance is the key to judging if a house needs a complete repainting, If the paint is faded or has weathered sufficiently over most of the surface, it is time to repaint. When the wood grain is visible through the paint, sufficient weathering has taken place for repaint- ing. If you repaint before the old paint has weathered enough, the paint filmwill become too thick and won't adhere to the house properly. A dull appearance can some- times be improved merely by washing exterior surfaces. Procrastinating when it's time to repaint can increase costs and labor later when you want to take on the job.

There is always something new to learn • new ways to do things, new plants to produce, or new environ• ments to create, The magni- tude of horticultural subjects is as endless as the inform- ation sources about them. Ask a friend or neighbour, Even an apartment dweller could be an expert, baffling associates by manipulating the environment, and_defy- ing the elements to produce flowers, fruits and vege- tables. Listen to radio. There are a number of gardening special- ists to keep you up-to-date with weekly gardening tips. Phone-in shows allow immediate response to your gardening questions. Visit your community library or a magazine stand. You will find inform, tion on subjects ranging from land- scaping, to growing house- plants or producing your own mushrooms. Many daily and weekly newspapers feature gardening columns that offer tips on insect and disease control, and light, water and - fertilizer requirements, One visit to the neighbor- hood garden center, florist shop. or nursery will show the variety of horticultural products available, Sales staff are trained to assist you with plant selection and plant use. Many gardening buffs benefit by attending lectures or lecture series. Ontario horticultural societies, and continuing education pro- grams offered by schools, colleges, and universities, also feature lectures and courses on many horti- cultural subjects. For the busy or distant enthusiast, home study courses may be the answer. New innovations in edu- cational technology now allow the home student the same educational opportun- ity as class students. Many of the independent study pack- ages include an illustrated text, film strips, hand film strip viewer, and instructor's commentary in audio cas- sette form. These multi- media, creative self -learning courses may also be used for group lectures. The University of Guelph offers lectures and inde- pendent study packages designed for novice and professional horticulturists. In addition to the creative self -learning kits, about 40 courses are available through the Independent Study Office, On -campus horticultural courses available this year include: Home landscaping, Turf Manager's Short Course, Greenhouse Management, and Gardening with Com- mercial Fertilizer. The Home Gardening series, featuring topics such as roses, lawns, pruning, vegetables, annuals and perennials, gardening under lights, highrise gar- dens, will be offered in evening and Saturday sessions. These programs are offered through the Office of Continuing Education, Uni- versity of Guelph, in co- operation with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food. For more information regarding ongoing programs write to the Office of Contin- uing Education, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, NIG 2W1. Hint to Handyman: So many home work- shops are built in base- ments; it behooves the' handyman to take proper care and storage of tools, This is important to prevent rust in damp and humid weather, Coat all your tools with aI thin film of oil or grease.

The truth is that the modern greenhouse is sim- ple, practical and easy to construct, according to the new Ortho book, "How To Build And Use Green- houses." Among the variety of styles designed to fit your needs, whether you live in Alabama or Minnesota, there are easy -to -build structures that can be put'up in a weekend—and at small cost. And greenhouses can go virtually anywhere there is space. They can be built in a window, on a balcony or ter- race, in the backyard or over several acres. There are a variety of greenhouse styles, Which you choose will depend on such things as how perma- nent you want it to be, whether it is attached to the house or freestanding, and what type of snow loads exist in your part of the country. THE ATTACHED GREENHOUSE. The attached greenhouse is proving increasingly popu- lar. It can be heated easily from the house, and solar heat gained in the greenhouse can be transferred to the main house. Water and electricity are nearby and it is within easy reach regardless of the weather outside. In effect, it can become a beautiful ex- tension of the house. THE GOTHIC; ARCH. This model is lovely to look at and well-suited to areas where there is just enough winter freezing to be troublesome to your plants or small potted fruit trees, However, it is a challeng- ing project for the home craftsman because the layout and lamination of the arches take time, THE A -FRAME. This is one of the simplest to construct and can be put together in a weekend, It can be built to relatively small size and its light weight makes it portable. However, it also can be placed on a conventional foundation. Its design makes it particu- larly useful in areas that get heavy snow, The base is made from four 10–foot pieces of 2 x 6 red- wood or treated fir. For the rafters and end walls, you need fifteen 10 -foot lengths of 2 x 3, The ridge board and door are made from 1 x 4. To provide proper venting, put in a 10 -inch diameter fan above the door and a lou- vered opening of the same size at the opposite end of the greenhouse, A bench across the far end will provide you with good working space and ample headroom, THE FREE-STANDING EVEN SPAN GABLE. This is probably the most typical and usable shape to build. The interior space lay- out is very practical, and there's easy access for a loaded wheelbarrow through a door at either end. Once you've decided on the style you want to build, you'll have to choose a cov- ering. Glass is one of the best, suggests the Ortho book, because it allows you to see into and out of your greenhouse. A glass covering can be easily shaded from too much sunlight, is easy to clean, has no loss in light transmission.' and is resistant to scratching. A more expensive cover- ing is acrylic, which is half the weight of glass and much more resiliant. Acrylic al- lows 90-95 percent of availa- ble light into your green- house and retains its clarity for at least 15 years. Fiberglass covering is popular because it's so easy to handle. But check with your building supplier to make sure the panels are specially treated to prevent fiberglass from expanding and trapping dirt, which will obstruct Tight from your greenhouse. The cheapest but least re- siliant material is polyeth- ylene film, which really makes a better temporary covering for a greenhouse during the winter. Unless treated, however, polyethylene can be de- stroyed by ultraviolet rays. A more practical use for this plastic film might be as a lin- ing for the inside of your greenhouse walls to reduce heat loss. Now that you know what's available in greenhouses, you can build your own, with the help of a good book like Ortho's "How To Build And Use Greenhouses." Once it's finished, you're ready to decorate making use of your favorite flowers, foliage plants, fruits and veg- etables. With a little imagination you can create a wild tropical paradise, a quiet country garden, a health foods paradise, or any special world that pleases you. Geraniums are easy and flower all season The versatile geranium can play a part in any garden, and will flower all season long with little atten- tion. One way to ensure a good supply of geraniums for this year's garden is to take cuttings from overwintered plants, says Russ Gomme, Ontario Ministry of Agricul- ture and Food horticulturist. The traditional method of overwintering geraniums is to hang plants in a cool, dark place in the fall, In early spring, the plants are potted, watered, and cut back, After new growth begins, plants arc replanted into the gar- den, However, Mr, Gomme says a more vigorous plant can be produced by taking cuttings from these over - wintered plants, Water the old plants, and when new shoots grow, take cuttings about 15 cm long. Remove the lower leaves from the cutting, and dip the end in a fungicide such as Captan, Plant cuttings about 5 cm deep and 5 cm apart in a 15 cm flower pot. Mr, Gomme recommends using a soil mixture of coarse sand, mixed with peat moss or vermiculite, Water the soil mixture thoroughly, and place the container in a clear plastic bag under a lighting unit or in a window protected from direct sunlight. "Once the cuttings have rooted, apply a weak fertil- izer," sq - s- Mr. Gomme. "Cuttings should be ready for transplanting in about one month," it's the season for fixing up your home!

To answer the question of when to prune you need to know two things: (1) When the plant flowers, (2) On which kind of growth it flowers—shoots from the current season, wood from the previous year, or wood two or more years old, Shoots from current season Prune all plants that bloom on new shoots before the plants bloom; Roses are an example. Most rose flowers are initi- ated on shoots grown during the current year, Pruning them in the spring before they begin to bloom will encourage new growth and more roses. Wood from the previous year • Many plants, such as for- sythia, bloom on year-old wood. This type of plant should be pruned after flowering. If you were to prune year-old wood in spring, you would Choosing the right bud Cutting off a terminal bud When a terminal bud is cut, the closest lateral bud becomes the new terminal bud. Pruning an outside bud will produce an outside branch. Moving day Getting plants home Browsing through your local nursery, you'll proba- bly discover the special plants you can't live without. Well, don't, Impulse buys can lead to years of pleasure. To make sure your new plant remains in the same beautiful condition which at- tracted you, just follow a few basic guidelines when you move it to its new home. Transplanting should take place as soon as possible so that plants don't dry out, . If you must wait, be sure to water well before re- moving plants from nursery containers, so that the root ball is not shattered in the process, Never pull plants Never pull your plants from their containers. If a new arrival comes in a can, pot or tub with sloping sides, the root ball can be removed by holding the container upside down and tapping it against a ledge. Just make sure to sup- port the root ball with the plant stem between your fin- gers so that it remains intact. If the plan"' of your choice comes -in a straight -sided container, vour best bet is to have it cut loose at the nurs- ery. Some nursery plants come in bio -degradable containers like peat pots and Jiffy -7's, which are made to be in- serted directly into the soil. To prepare peat pot varieties for planting, simply punch holes in the bottom of the "pot" and peel away the upper exposed container edges; then, insert below the soil line. If your plant selections come in cell packs or market packs -2 to 12 plants in a flat oblong container—remove them by squeezing the bot- tom of the container to force the root ball above the lip. Nutritional program Once you've finished re- potting, you should start plants on a regular nutritional program. Your local garden center has a selection of fertilizers made to give plants a balanced diet of nitrogen, phosphates, and potassium. With these easy steps of plant care, your nursery "finds" will become very much at home in their new home, providing you with a lush indoor garden all year long. prune away flowering wood, And if you cut away all of 'ast year's wood, there would )e no flowers at all this year. Wood two or more years old You don't have to be as selective when pruning plants and.trees in this cate- gory. For example, on an apple tree, which flowers on wood several years old, you merely cut to shorten the fruit bear- ing branches, and thus strengthen them. If you remember when a plant flowers, and on what kind of wood, you will al- ways know when to prune it, according to Ortho's book, "All About Pruning." Now, where do you cut the plant when pruning it? Before the leaves and new stems appear, they exist in small swellings on the stems and branches, These swell- ings are called "buds." Look closely at the buds and you will see that there are three main kinds—terminal, lateral and flower. A terminal bud grows at the tip of the shoot, A lateral bud appears on the side of the shoot. Flower buds are shorter, blunter and fatter than leaf - producing, or vegetative buds. They appear on spurs on fruit trees and can be in either a terminal or lateral position. The important thing to re- member is that when you prune, always cut just above a bud. You can understand the reason for this if you stop and consider that the termi- nal bud grows most strongly. Therefore, when you cut off a terminal bud just above a lateral bud, the lateral bud is now at the tip of the stem and inherits all this strength When you choose a lateral bud to place your cut, select one that is pointed outward so that the new branch will grow out from the trunk rather than criss-crossing with other branches inside the foliage. Cutting above an outward -pointing lateral bud will also serve to open up the plant for light, air and orderly growth -all of which are im- portant goals in pruning. As you can see, the rules of when and where to prune are simple enough.

Changes make spring, summer homemaking easier It's spring and time, once again, to take advantage of sunny days and clean, fresh air. Before you begin to enjoy vacations and outings with family and friends, make a few changes in your house- hold routine, so your home will be more livable during the warmer months, Here are some sugges- tions: • Take up area rugs throughout the house and store them for the season, If your floors are natural wood or pretty tile, you may like the look of the exposed sur- face; a cool bare floor is eas- ily kept clean with a quick sweeping, • With sunlight growing stronger every day, it is a good time to rotate your plants, Some plants thrive on direct sunlight and look pret- ty hanging in natural baskets at each window. To keep your windows sparkling clean use Glass*Plus® glass, appliance and cabinet cleaner. Just spray and wipe dry with a paper towel or lint free cloth, Cloudy days are especially good for washing windows. • Make use of the coolest areas of your home during the warmer months. Cool basements, corner rooms, porches and patios can be easily converted into the "summer" den by simply rearranging furniture to take advantage of cross -venti- lation and decorating with cool, soothing colors, • During the warmer months, you can brighten the look of bedrooms and lighten your early morning chores by "undressing" the beds, Sim- PICTURE YOURSELF ply pack away your quilts, heavy bedspreads and woolen blankets and show off your pretty patterned sheets. Paint -Brush Tips A good paint job depends on the right size and type of brush for the task in hand:.. For painting large areas, a brush that is 41/2 to 5 inch- es wide will speed your work and produce good results. For narrow strips, such as those on windows, use a round one -inch sash brush. For trim and most wood- work, you'll find a 11/2 to 2 - inch brush handiest. 'tip', k,. atnig saysj • 1144, tea '4.
