West Wawanosh
July Meeting
West Wawanosh Township Coun ,
cil met at the Hall on July 4th
for its regular session. Because
the minute book was still in the
hands of the auditor, there was no
reading of minutes.
•
• The report on a controlled Deer
Hunt was read to Council. Coun-
cil was of the opinion that while
in essence the report's idea was a
good one, it would be .better to
have no open season at all for 2
or 3 years in the Lake Huron dist-
rict.
The Clerk was instructed to
States and many countries of the
world. Seems as if every ,town,
village and city in Ontario must
have been represented. Bus loads
came from far and near. Tara
had a load of 41 and several cars
there for the opening.' Midland,
Port Elgin, Mildmay, Elmira
all came .by bus load.
Representatives from. Ontario
Fairs__ASSOCiation came to see
what was being done in Lucknow
to promote crafts. There were
at least eight guesti 'from this
'Ministry.
