Miss Grant had been a member of the church during her long residence in this area. Born 91 years ago on the London Road near Clinton, she has been retired from the tea- ching profession for 39 years. Blindness and increasing deaf- ness had marked her last years, and had produced an inevitable loss of contact with the world. But it was a striking tribute to her ability as a teacher and her attractiveness as a woman of grace and personality that so many old pupils managed to at- tend the funeral to pay a last respect to one to whom they re- mained indebted through the years. She is survived by two nephews, Dr. R. G. Hunter, Tor- onto and Dr. Wilfred Grant, Ottawa. The service was held from the Ball and Mutch tfuneral home and interment was in Clinton cemetery.

Costs for the month of Feb- ruary jumped to $5,359.37, plus some other expenditures for re- pairs to the grader. This is about $2,000 more than what has been paid out in recent years during the same month. January's account was also considerably higher than usual. One of the major expenses was for bulldozing when the job of clearing the roads became too tough for the township's equipment. One bill alone for bulldozing was $2,388. Terming the , past winter "staggering", de p u t y reeve Grant Stirling commented, "that's a lot of money to run into the creeks in the spring".
