You'll never know, Mrs. Diehl, what ;Measure you have given me, On December 9, December 16; also December 43, 1905, you Yfrote a complete history of St. John's Church, Varna. That is the, church my Father and Mother went to. All the names of People that went to that church in my time, I knew them all! In fact, I, have intended writing you ever since 1965 to thank you for recalling so much that I remembered when I was young. I am an, Old lady .now, 91 years past, For almost four years I have lived in this. Senior Citizen's home here in Waterloo. My., husband James Dunford died over 43 years ago. My son Wass Dunford lives here, He has taught in the Kitchener Col. 14iate. for 24 years and for the ,past four years is Principal of ForeSt Heights Collegiate here. am very happy here. This is a delightful United Church home, much like Huronview, in Clinton only smaller. We are jUst 69 people and our home is all full now. So really. thanks, Mrs. Diehl, for an the pleasure you have given in calling to memory so much of my young life, I still take the C Hilton paper and enjoyed very much last weeks, "Rambling with Lucy" on the ice storm, I also remember Rev, Henry Diehl and his brother Rey. Lois' Diehl. Rev. Lousi married our neighbour in Clinton, Agnes McGarva. Thanks for listening to all my rambling, I could go on and on. Yours lovingly, Mrs, James Danford Lucy enjoyed the above letter so much that she felt there must be- many readers who would appreciate it, too. The late James Dunford was a furniture dealer and under. takei-located on Albert Street, Clinton, Relative to the Ice Storm, William E. Parker recalled that it *as FebruarY 22, 1922. He remembered the date because it was 'the same as the year in this century. And, .from 'a lady' who kept a diary but wishes to remain anonymous, 'Lucy 'learned that there had been thunderstorms that month. It commenced 'to rain on the evening of February 21 and continued all night. In the morning Clinton was a mess with fallen limbs of 'trees, hydro and telephone wires down. Everything Was coated with 'ice. But it didn't stop school. The boys skated up 'and' down the hill to the old Clinton Collegiate Institute. (No doubt the blacksmiths did a good business that day sharp shoeing the delivery, and other horses.) The lady called for the News-Record on Thursday only to learn 'that no paper could be issued as hydro was off. It didn't come on again until Sunday of February 26 at 11 a.m. P4rkwood MaPor, Parkw0Pd mamr, 75 Cardinal Cres, Waterlpo, Ont.

He also reported a balance of $400. Discussion , was centred on the participation of area school boards at the fair, Ted Dunn reported on an area meeting of District 8 held re. cently • in. Milverton where the topic of discussion was "The place of Fairs in the Com. munitY." The guest speaker, R. F. Gomme, said that fairs should be a showcase for products and industrial aspects of the area. He also said that fairs were a public relations deal. At the last Hayfield Fall Fair, a new .feature in the special event class, was the tractor _rodeo, this event created a great deal of interest and will be held again this year, as will the pony races.

Mrs. Leroy Poth and Mrs. Elva. Metcalf, on behalf of the .Bayfield branch of the His. torical Society asked, in view of the fact that the group consisted of 45 members, for permission t o use a room in the Municipal building for their monthly meetings. Mrs. Mabel Hopson, on be. half of the Senior Citizens Club also requested use of a room for their monthly meetings- Council approved both requests. G. Bellchamber and L. Mc. Millen asked council to increase surface drainage tile capacity to alleviate flood conditions on their property, They pointed out that. since Delevan Street had been paved, surface water which has previously flowed across Susan Street and accumulated in the vacant lots at the rear of Kerr's Market was now causing flooding by overloading Delevan Street drains. Council. lor Merner said he would not order any repair work at the present time in view of the expense. Reeve McFadden said that the village had inherited a lot of road problems from Stanley Township. Council agreed that it hopes to overcome the problem in the late spring by improving or increasing the size of drains where it is deemed necessary. Council was then asked why it had not publicized the forth. coming Liquor Vote set for Feb. ruary 14. It was felt that the people of the village had not been warned so that they could organize a "Negative Corn- mittee to appoint Scrutineers. • The Reeve pointed out that it was not a responsibility of Council, The chief election officer in Toronto, he said, after being notified of a public petition passes information directly via the Clerk's Office and that the required public notice was given by a' proclamation posted in the Hayfield post office. He added ,,thate riptices had beenpubliped nelisiSapex' ;as re. quired by law and had alsobeen given normal press coverage in the local newspapers. The reeve further corn. mented that the same complaint had been lodged by another man who 'declared himself to be opposed to the vote and the reeve further pointed out that it was untrue that the date and facts were not known, as that man had been a council member at the time of the petition and had been kept informed through. out, The clerk also stated that the chief spokesman for the "drys" had been personally in. formed by her of all develop. meats. The Reeve then stated that a phone call by the clerk to Toronto that day, had resulted in permission to set up a neg. ative vote committee, if the Returning Officer and the Chair. man of the Affirmative corn, mittee agreed. Mrs, Maloney said that the Affirmative committee have consented to the forming of a negative committee and agreed to the waiving of the appro. priate regulatiop under Section 76 of the Liquor Licence Act. Mrs. Maloney also said' that she had received complaints that a council member was act- ing as manager for the affirm:, ative; she said that to avoid any possible misunderstanding she had contacted the Chief Election Officer, Toronto, and had been assured by him, that no conflict of interests existed especially as the said council. man had acted as manager for the Affirmative before being elected to council. In other business council' authorized the purchase of an electric wall heater and a yale lock for the clerk's office.
