HURON CENTRES APPLY FOR GRANTS
Most Towns, Townships Planning
Projects For Centennial Purposes
Many towns and townships
in Huron have already qualified
for projects under legislation
providing for grants from Pro-
vincial and Federal govern-
ments, and it appears that in
Huron County the program will
be almost unanimously filled,
acording to Joseph Allaire, field
representative, of Bayfield.
Centennial projects have been
submitted by the Town of Exe-
ter, Town of Clinton, wirth an
arena project; Tow of

Gode-
rich, two park projects; Sea-
forth, a community hall; Wing-
ham, a pavilion at the park or
arena improvements.
Blyith is interested in qualify-
ing as is Zurich, while Gode-

RESCUE PRACTICE
No official explanation is
available of the mysterious
tights and commotion along the
Lakeshore Saturday night when
some form of exercise is believ-
ed to have ben carried out by
aircraft and helicopters along
Lake Huron shoes. Ontario
Provincial Police have had no
notification of the exercise, so
it is believed no actual dist-
ress situation obtained. The
dropping of flares brought back
old memories of the blitz over-
seas and was for that reason
rather thrilling to see.
rich Township plans a munici-
pal building; Grey plans a fire
hall, Hay Township a park pa-
vilion; Hullett a township hall;
Stanley, an addition to the
arena in Bayfield.
East and West Wawanosh
plan a joint project, while
Tuckersmith has submitted a
parks program.
Indications are that all
townships in Huron will qualify
for grants under the centennial
legislation.
As previously announced, No-
vember 9th is the final date for
the reception of applications
under this legislation.
It appears likely, at an un-
official estimate, that nearly
half a million dollars will be
spent in Hunan County on con-
struction projects eligible for
grants under the Centennial
lel;isla tion.
It is interesting to note
where municipalities do
participate in Centennial
,k I S, t he countyconcerned
may undertake a project on the
basis of the population of the
municipalities not taking on
projects of their own.
It appears at present that
each municipality in Huron will
have a project which will use
up its allocation of Provincial
and Fedor:II fund,.

Lengthy Illness
Claims Minister
Even though the sign points away from their service station, Jack Merner
(left) and his brother Gary seem pleased with the new sign, one of three
erected by the Ontario Department of Highways, directing highway traffic to
the business section of the village. Three such signs were erected this week
by the Department at the request of Ken Mackie, chairman of The Bayfield
Businessmen's Association. It is one of the first projects to be undertaken
by the new group. (Bulletin Photo)
In a recent column we spoke
of the motherly instincts of
the wild fowl of the bush which
have an important result in
protection of the young part-
ridges and ducklings and the
like.
Today we are thinking of
other creatures who prefer the
role of The clown. In particular
we think of the 'Whisky
Jacks". those fat grey and
black birds that seem to enjoy
the company of mankind, and
stick close to the camp of the
hunter or prospector.

COMING EVENTS
Notices on the front page
under this heading are avail-
minimum charge 75 cents paid
able at five cents per word,
in advance, or 51.00 charged.
Whiskey Jacks are good
company of a sort, but their
prelediction for bright and
shiny things can sometimes
mean loss and annoyance for
the unwary camper. Watches
and small bits of hardware have
been known to disappear, tro-
phies of the curious birds that
can't resist glitter.
Whisky Jacks will flit along
the trail, keep one company,
as though hired by a detective
agency to keep an eye on your
every move. They seem fear-
less and desirous of company,
and will follow along as though
they had nothing else to do
all day.
Squirrels can be good fun,
and are natural clowns, but
sometimes their taste for bread
makes a wreck o f the grub pile.

INVITE GHOSTS
A cordial invitation hes been
extended by Bayfield Lions
Club to all spooks, ghosts, gob-
lins, witches and masked mar-
auders and the like to attend
a party at the Town Hall Sat-
urday night at 7.30. It seems
that the youngsters in costume
will be guests of the club and
treated to the usual goodies.

WELL ORGANIZED
No new information has been
received regarding the incorp-
oration hearing for Bayfield to
be held in the Town Hall No-
vember 19. It is understood
that the Bayfield Ratepayers'
Association has been extremely
well organized for the occasion
and will present a strong case
for the Ontario Municipal
Board. It appears likely that
both Stanley and Goderich
Townships will enter formal
protests on behalf of their
ratepayers. An official an-
nouncement of the meeting will
appear in next week's Issue of
The Bulletin.
