Councillor Lloyd Sippel reported
on the Blyth Union Cemetery
saying that some people may not be
aware the board purchased three
acres to the north of the cemetery
for future expansion. Plans call for
planting of trees along the north-
ern boundary of the property and
mapping out of the land for new
plots and pathways. No lots will be
sold in this section until the present
' cemetery is full.
Mr. Sippel also reported on the

was a huge success, in fact had so
many children register that some
parents formed a delegation to
council worrying that there were
too many children for the leaders to
be able to give adequate super-
vision. Reeve Cronin said the girls
in charge did a "fabulous job" and
that the program should be kept up

QUIET HALLO WE 'EN
Blyth had a quiet Hallowe'en with no damage reported. Blyth
firemen patrol the streets every year just to help keep things in
hand and use their walkie-talkies for quick communications if
something does come up. It seems that prevention is the best
cure.
Riddell says farmers
get budget break
Agriculture's share of Ontario's ment as the main themes of the
budget climbed to nearly $400 budget. It added funds for a new
million -- an increase of 21 percent program to assist farmers in
from last year's expenditure -- in transition, added cash for Tripar-
the first budget of the new tite Income Stabilization and de-
government presented by Treasur- tailed $50 million for the already

added.
Jim Howson, Public Utilities
Commissioner reporting on the
Hydro Commission said that the
coming of cable TV meant a new
source of income for the utility. The
cable television company pays a
rent of $7.50 per pole per year to
string its lines on utility poles
which helps with maintenance
costs, he said.
Donald Noble, reporting for the
Water Commission said there were
now two mains across the river, the
old one at Queen Street and a new
one at Westmorland and Mill
Streets. There are plans in the
future to build a new 10 inch main
from Mill and Drummond to Mill
and Dinsley. A reserve of $15,000
has been set aside for this with the
hope there may be some assistance
from the Ontario Neighbourhood
Improvement Program grant. A
new distribution pump has been
ordered and will be installed later
this year, he said.
