Village council meets planners in closed talks on zone, bylaw At its regular meeting Monday night, Bayfield Village Council schedu1 d a snecial meeting for tomorrow night to discuss zoning bylaw details with the Planning Committee, Reeve Frank A. McFadden said a public meeting will be held in the future. In other business, council appointed Mrs. F. A. Clift chairman of the library board. Mrs. G. N. Rivers, is to be treasurer and Mrs. R. B. Johnston, secretary. Other members of the 1969 board are, Mrs. J. McKenzie, and Mrs. Eric Earl, the librarian. The reeve is an ex -officio member. In reply to questions from Councillor Robert Snell, Reeve McFadde;: said that Pioneer Park is essentially a public park and, therefore, is not taxed. He also assured that street lights requested by residents last year will be installed this year.. A by-law was passed authorizing a roads budget of $12,500. Coucillor Merner said that Cameron Street should be completely opened this year and catch basins and drains installed from the Albion Hotel to Kerr's corner along Susan Street and connecting at the junction of Chiniquy and Delevan Streets with the new Delevan Street drain. A discussion led by Councillor Merner dealt with a proposal to erect a beach pavilion with refreshment booth and changing rooms. Merner thought this should be in addition to the roads and drains projects. The reeve said roads and drains had been neglected too long and so there had been no time or money for other projects. He added that if funds were available he would favour tennis courts and shuffleboard either in the school grounds, fair grounds or Clan Gregor Park. Councillor Snell expressed support for the beach project as present facilities are a disgrace to the village. Councillor Merner, with Council's approval, is to prepare plans and estimates for for the suggested beach projects. Mr. Merner outlined a plan to renovate the Town Hall, removing the balcony and part of the stage so that it can be used as a physical fitness centre, operated in conjunction with the Community Centre, He said that badminton and basketball could be played there and physical fitness classes held in the basement. Council agreed that both projects of Councillor Merner be fully investigated. Regarding the question of the division of assets between Stanley Township and Bayfield, Reeve McFadden referred to pressure being brought to bear on council for settlement and instructed the clerk to so advise the village auditor, Elmer Parker, and ask him to take prompt action.

WOODS. Readers have asked Lucy about Sandi tlie.cat, Alas! Site could not recount his doings because he disappeared last July. );Very yellow cat Lucy saw creasing their property, she'd Gall Gari; "Look! Is that Sandi?" she'd ask, in .a hopeful tone, "No," he'd reply, -"that one is too bright a colour" or else "that's the old cat which always chased Sandi." Now, they could understand Sandi going off pourting for a short period, but when he hadn't been back ''or.a month they began to wonder if he had taken offence at something or other. Being ,so very frightened of anyone except "Mr," when he took up his abode in the barn over two years ago, he finally came to Teel that anyone on this property was his friend as well as ours. Thus Harold Bell, next door, could pet him and pick him up when at "The Hut," but Sandi wouldn't let him touch him, even though he gave him food, at the Bela home, The last time Lucy saw Sandi, a nine-year-old boy was visiting there. Sandi approached the lad and held up his head expecting a caress, Instead, the youngster. flipped the cat on the nose with his thumb and finger, Sandi shook his head and ran off. No doubt it hurt, but could his dignity have been wounded so deeply that he left the place forever'? Lucy wondered. Carl said "No." He felt that if Sandi were alive that he'd have been back to see him, even if he didn't stay, And so as the weeks rolled into months, Lucy and Carl began to mourn him as dead. Hadn't he had sore hind legs twice from being caught in traps, Well, the third time mast have killed him. Some friends suggested that perhaps he'd been run over by a car. Carl discounted that possibility. He'd watched Sandi and he was wary about crossing the road, looking first one way and then the other. Friends offered Carl kittens. "No thank you," was his polite refusal, "Sandi cane to us, And if another cat were to make its home in the barn, it would be alright. But a kitten in the house would only make more work." One day recently, Lucy was told: "There's a big yellow cat sitting on the fence post outside the kitchen window." "Was it looking in the window?" she enquired. "No, looking up into I3ell's cherry tree," was the answer. It couldn't be Sandi after all this time, Lucy thought. Then after weeks in hospital Carl came home. Someone remarked that there was a yellow cat out under the bird feeder. I -re looked out. "It's Sandi!" he ejaculated in excitement. Going to the door he called: "Is that you Sandi?" Carl was not attired in his work Bothers. The cat recognized the voice but' not the clothes. Slowly he approached the door and looked up. Cart stroked his head and then Sandi rolled over to play. He was home. Yes, he is home watching for Carl every morning from the post opposite the kitchen window. And he wants affection — not food! He'd like to come into the house to see Lucy but that is forbidden. One day he dashed in and looked up at the refrigerator door. But when he was served the tinned cat food outside, he refused to eat it. That had just been an excuse to get into the house. Were it not due to the fact that some friends are allergic to cats, he'd probably be ensconced in the big old rocking chair in the dining room again. Wherever Sandi has been living, there has been good hunting for he is fat and sleek. Also, it must, have been at some distance or he'd have come back to peek at us— at least, we like to think so. Lucy also wonders, did some seventh cat -sense tell Sandi that Carl had been ill and prompt him to come back to watch over "Mr." Of course Lucy and Carl are glad he is here to keep the rabbits in check. And they hope there are enough rodents in this vicinity to keep him in good health, for Sandi scorns table scraps and will only eat tinned cat food occasionally in cold weather. a , • WATCH..ii: :rtll THIS SPACE } THAT MARCH LION WON'T BRING WASHDAY BLUES TO YOUR HOUSE IF .• • Beatty MANOR ...he beauty ofwashday efficiency Get the Details At GROVES & SON ELECTRIC 10 HURON ST.
