Mr. Kilborn agreed to reduce the bill to $3,950, and to make a further reduction of $200 if the town uses the plans in any future building. According to Mr. Kilborn, the plans J in a sewage disposal plant, and can be used whenever the town wishes to build. Mr. McKinney expressed the opinion that the town would have to build a plant of some type next year, as the present plant is in very poor condition. Estimated cost of the new plant was $102,000 at the time the plans were drawn up.

Mayor Miller said that he was pleased to see someone taking an interest in looking after the town hall stage, and that he was sure some mutually satisfactory arrangement could be made between the group and the property committee. Building Permits Received Town Assessor W. H. Haney was present to thank council for sending a representative to the recent district assessors’ meeting. He again brought up the subject of people engaging in, building operations without obtaining a permit. Letters were received from three municipal organizations, ihvitlng council members to their conventions. Two letters were filed and no action was taken on the third. The application of Ken Foxton for membership in the Fire Depart­ ment was 'unanimously approved by council. The question of damage to the town hall back steps incurred in an acci­ dent a couple of years ago, was brought up, and council decided to take legal action to collect the dam­ age owing them. No New Truck The question of purchasing a new town truck was brought up by Councillor Athol Purdon. He said that the old truck was seven years old and was beginning to show its age, and asked if the council would be willing to purchase a new one. After a long discussion on the rela­ tive age of trucks, their life expect­ ancy, susceptability to town driving, and the likelihood of their quitting altogether, council decided to get along with what they have for an­ other year at least. However, needed repairs will be made on the old truck. It was agreed that the liandshell should be painted before the 75th anniversary celebrations this summer, and that the question of repairing bleachers in the ball park should be looked into. The council also decided that a further effort should be made to ob­ tain a map of the cemetery showing all plots and graves, as soon as pos­ sible.

RECREATION GROUPS MEET IN MGHAM “Education does not end with for­ mal schooling”, H. R. Beattie, assist-, ant superintendent, Ontario Depart­ ment of Education, told 75 delegates from recreation councils in Western1 Ontario,' at a meeting in the United Church Sunday school room last week. “Society, through all its various or­ ganizations, must present opportun­ ities by which people, particularly young people, can grow and develop their ability to make their particular contributions.” Mr. Beattie, who was introduced by K L. Young, acting director of the community, programs branch of the Department of Education, spoke of the rapidly increasing schol enroll­ ment as a result of a birthrate which was almost twice as high in 1953 as it was in, 1939. He said that this had resulted in a’“ heed for more school accommodation, more teachers and in­ creasing capital indebtedness for school buildings, but expressed confi­ dence that these problems can be met successfully.
