Avoiding cabin
By PATRICIA M. RATHBUN Extension Agent. Home Ec As the coldest days of winter approach, it is time to start thinking about that dreaded malady — cabin fever. It is hard to know what to do with children when they get tired of four walls and a television but the weather won’t permit them to play outside. So what can a parent or babysitter do when a child says, $5,000 Damage Damage was estimated up to $5,000 to a truck driven by Delmar W. Powers, 33, r I Cromwell, in a single vehicle accident Sunday morning, Feb. 6, on CR 1100 N, six miles northeast of North Webster. Keep your dog in shape this winter People can often make it tough on their dogs during the winter unthinkingly, so the Connecticut Humane Society offers advise on making things more comfortable for pets when the winter freeze sets in. Outdoor animals need a constant supply of fresh water Animals can become ill or die from eating snow and ice. If you walk your dog on city streets, check his paws for chemical bums caused by rock salt or ice melters. Wash paws with a solution of tepid water and baking soda and dry them. Don’t allow the pet to lick the chemicals.
Program planning was discussed. Norma Engelberth reported on the Presidents’ Council meeting. Dates of upcoming events were announced. A seed and flower bulb exchange is planned for April. Members of the ways and means committee announced that a white elephant auction is scheduled for March. Refreshments of vegetable gelatin salad, raw vegetables with dip, crackers, mini pizza snacks, Valentine candy and punch were served by Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Haywood. Lennis Wise will be hostess for the March meeting. Benefit supper A benefit chili supper for Harriett Williamson will be held at 7 p.m., February 15, preceeding the regular monthly meeting of Barbee Conservation Club. Members of the Conservation club will be taking guests and Harriett’s friends and neighbors are welcome. Donations will be accepted at the door. Salads and desserts will be served as well as chili. Following supper, guests are invited to stay for the business session if they wish. Yearly program books will be distributed. The event will be held at Barbee Conservation Club building.
According to Joyce Packard, president of the Lakeland club, “Our members are just sick about what’s happened. We’ve been working so hard to establish good public relations with the community. Fortunately the people at the golf course don’t blame us, but, the greens have been destroyed and now no one can use the facility. When will people learn to use some common
“I’m bored There is nothing to do?” Be prepared. Begin now to collect ideas of something you would like to do with your kids but do not have time to try. Keep those ideas in a file or a kitchen drawer and pull them out when it is too snowy, cold or rainy to go out. Keep in mind, that kids need a variety of activities. Four kinds include: active physical exercise; opportunities to use their hands; time to be alone and quiet; and time to be with others. Lack of active exercise can make the child listless or cause energy to build until the child “explodes.” Although it may be difficult to provide for active exercise indoors, if your house has a basement or heated garage you might be able to make a tricycle run or hang a swing. Phonograph records also are available to guide children through aerobic or traditional exercises. Another option, especially for young children, is an indoor obstacle course built from couch cushions, chairs, tables and floor pillows. Whatever the exercise, make sure it requires children to use their entire body. Children use their hands when playing with blocks or other building materials. Art materials such as clay, crayons, finger paint, paper, scissors and glue serve the same purpose. A variety of inexpensive or free

No decision on who will replace Parker
By SHARON STUCKMAN So many people have applied for the job of town marshal at North Webster that the town board has not been able to make a decision on the person who will fill that position. That was a subject of major concern at the regular meeting of the town board on Wednesday, Feb. 2. The board also heard from a representative of a sewer testing and cleaning firm, discussed rate changes for two sewage customers, heard board member Robert Breyer explain the newest quote for insurance for town employees and reviewed several other matters. Charles Parker’s letter of resignation as marshal was read by town clerk-treasurer Eve Payne Board president Howard Bemish said that Parker had done a good job for the town and wished him well in his new position with the International Palace of Sports Bemish said that over 30 applications had been received by the town for the position of town marshal, including an application submitted by a woman. Interviews for the positon had not been completed at the time of the board meeting and the board did not set a date for a public session to announce the filling of that position.
sense and respect other people’s property?” REV. ARLEY Craven will be guest evangelist at the revival planned for April 11 through 17 at North Webster Church of God. TILL NEXT week .. -NWfever items for art projects are available in and around most homes —old Christmas cards or wrapping paper, tissues, soda pop and other caps, old jewelry to name just a few. Be creative. Children need quiet times alone, just as adults do. When the family is cooped up indoors, there may be too much forced togetherness. Make sure the children have the time and place to be alone and quiet. They may want to read, work puzzles, write letters, or daydream. (Letters to grandparents may help the older generation deal with cabin fever, too.i Balance children’s need to be alone with their need to be with other people. Although families should try to eat and play games together, they also should try to establish contact with others as well. Trade responsibility for the kids with neighbors — you take both sets of kids today; I’ll take them tomorrow The kids look at different faces for awhile, and you ha Ye peace and quiet. Bundle up the kids and take them to visit neighborhood shutins. If you do not live in town or cannot get out to see anyone, consider letting each child telephone at least one friend or relative each day. Writing letters can remind children that there are others in the world and remove their thoughts from the house for awhile. Look for creative ways to avoid becoming winter hermits.

On February 15 the board will hold a meeting to designate town funds for a two-year period as required by law. The meeting will be held at the town hall at 7 p.m. Mrs Payne read a petition, which.had been submitted to the board, with 25 signatures of merchants and citizens, asking the board to consider Tony Strombeck, former town marshal, for the position left vacant by Parker's resignation. Ed Ousnamer of Sewer-Tech, Fort Wayne, spoke to the board about what he felt should be done to discover the problem with grit in the sewer lines. He also suggested that sewer lines should be cleaned every five to six years. Ousnamer told the board that a town must keep sewer rates in line with costs, because if a town is able to afford preventive maintenance it may save money in the long run. The board reviewed requests of Kenneth Sindelar and Wayne Jernigan for reduction in sewage rates because the properties which were the subjects of the requests were now unused or single family dwellings. o After reading replies to these requests from the? town’s attorney. Rex Reed, the board decided to reduce rates for these two properties if certain conditions are met. Robert Breyer explained to the board the quote from Strayer Insurance Agency on the town’s insurance. After discussion, the

board agreed to authorize an errors and omission policy through Strayer’s and investigate further into the medical coverage offered in the quote. A letter from Jim DeSorento of Tri-Ax. the company handling the town’s cable television installation, was read and it was agreed that Mrs Payne will contact Tri-Ax and ask them to give the town a tentative date when cable television will be available and also ask them about the lease agreement for the tower which they will erect.

Mattingley was recommended to Keim by the Town of Warsaw and he will give the town a quote on prices of new street signs when it is definate how many signs will be needed. In closing, Bemish congratulated local citizens who have formed a Chamber of Commerce and said he believes it will do much to further development. He also brought before the board the question of the need for an economic development commission Such a commission was created in July 20. 1977. but disassembled after the terms of all the members expired. It was agreed that the requirements for members to the commission would be investigated and this will be discussed at the next meeting.
