The pump-house for the Belgrave water system will go from eyesore to garden-like setting following a landscaping project approved by Morris-Turnberry council. At their June 2 meeting councillors chose between two proposals submitted by Solid Ground Landscaping of Belgrave, that will reseed the site and plant shrubs and trees. They chose a plan which will see the site get six spruce trees, other shrubs and mulch and two raised flower beds after new topsoil has been added and the grass replanted and fertilized. Cost of the project is $4,600 plus taxes. Nancy Michie, administrator clerk-treasurer, told council there is money in the water budget to complete the project. Pat Hunking invited the members of the Belgrave Evening Group to meet in her new apartment in Blyth for their meeting, June 2. Nancy Folkard’s group was in charge of the meeting and Nancy thanked Pat for hosting the meeting and welcomed everyone present. Mrs. Ruth Jardin was a guest for the meeting. Laura Johnston’s worship theme was, To Seek Beauty. After a scripture and a hymn, her meditation encouraged people to not miss the beauty around them, especially the flowers, birds and people. Look past appearances and look at the inner beauty of those around. God sees inner selves as well. She closed with prayer. Muriel Coultes gave the secretary’s and treasurer’s reports which were approved. The roll call was answered by naming one thing you hope to do this summer. Mrs. Hunking reported she had sent four cards. Mrs. Folkard’s theme for her program was Here Comes the Sun. She had sunflowers with her, and read a story which told of the different kinds of sunflowers, large, small, with or without pollen and also the variety of colours they can be. She talked about the advantages to spending time in a garden. A garden is good for a community, with things to share, but also people need to protect themselves from the sun. She read various articles of different types of camping. She mentioned the Vacation Bible School at Belgrave, Aug. 17-21, 9 a.m. to noon. All children are welcome. She gave a list of items needed for crafts, large and small kleenex boxes, bar of soap boxes, toothpaste boxes, both sizes of plastic pop bottles and white cotton gardening gloves. There is a box at the church for donations. The Observer has an article of a vacation in Guatemala. Mrs. Folkard offered many new and interesting ways to spend the summer, and wished everyone a safe and healthy summer. Plans were made for the summer party that celebrates those over 80. If you know of anyone who has recently celebrated their 80th birthday, let Laura Johnston know. The date was set for Tuesday, July 28 at 2 p.m. in the church.
