High winds and drifting snow made driving difficult on Tuesday but by Wednesday a thaw had started leaving a few people wondering if the white stuff would stay around for Christmas. (Expositor Photo) Snow (Continued from Page 1) shovel snow back on the roads. Mayor Betty Cardno, suggested that a letter be written to all service stations, asking them to haul away their own snow. The town can only haul so much, the reeve said, and some stations are paying to have their own snow hauled away. 35 to 40 tickets have been issued, to motorists who leave their cars parked on town streets all night, contravening a by law and making plowing difficult, councillor Ellis reported. One car parked on Goderich street was hauled away. "Maybe this rash of tickets will solve the problem," he said. In other business,. council gave approval to the Lions Club to install a 40 foot trailer beside the Toronto Dominion Bank for their big Penny Fund weekend, in. January, as long as the police cheif approves. The trailer will be parked close to the sidewalk and won't interfere with traffic on the street. Council will write to BP service station owners at the north west corner of Main and Goderich Streets; asking them to move mobile curbs back so that they don't interfere with the town's snow plow.

The Ad Hoc Boundary Commit- tee was appointed by the Chair- man's Advisory Committee as a result of a Board motion in April of this year. Committee members appointed were, W. -Shortreed (Chairman), J. Alexander, H. Hayter, M. Zinn, R. Peck and R. Smith from administration. That committee met on 10 occasions including the community meeting. At a previous Board meeting the Board approved the committee's recommendation that J.A.D. McCurdy School remain . open, so ,that no boundary changes needed tq be made in that area of the county. The committee noted in its report that it has studied school areas, transportation, school enrolment, and school capacity in various parts of the county, but because it was felt that the crucial problem was in the south central area of• the county, a large percentage of the committee's time had been spent in.,an attempt to resolve problems there. In addition to its recommenda- tions in connection with opening school facilities at Vanastra the committee also noted that it realized that it has not completed the study of school boundaries in the county and felt that further studies should be made. It recommended that the Board appoint a Boundary Committee in the 1977-78 term to continue the review of school boundaries.

Whitman, who presided at the commission meeting, expressed special thanks to t1rs. Ben Rising for an evergreen tree she donated to the town for use as a Christmas tree. PUC workmen cut the tree down. and erected it in front of the town hall and attached lights at a cost of $950.54. Later there will be an additional cost for labour and truck time when the tree is removed. Dr. Whitman thanked the town for its contribution, the payment of power used for one month to light the tree, estimated to be $50,57. The Chamber of Commerce contributed the bulbs at a cost of about $70. Dr. Whitman noted that in other years the Chamber of Commerce has supplied the decorations which the PUC uses. There is a reduction this year in Main Street lighting as an energy conservation effort and the commission was told the resulting saving in kilowat hours will offset the 30 Der cent increase The Commission agreed that the PUC would install a water service to provide for lots in the first phase in the Silver Creek subdivision on the northeastern outskirts of the town. The enti:e cost of the service will be covered by Silverview Development Ltd. An agreement will be drawn up with the Seaforth Fire Area Board to allow the PUC to install a fire siren and transformer on PUC property at the rear of the town hall. The PUC will provide service on a yearly basis with the rate to be reviewed yearly.
