The Gardens. sold out for this one night engagement, arranged two more Torville and Dean shows for the next night to accommodate the hundreds of disappointed fans. A unique feature of this outstanding event was the big number 6 on the back of the programs which many held high during the standing ovation. Six indicated the perfort score Torvill and Dean had received from the judges in World Competition in Ottawa.

Council concerned about bus loading Continued from page 1 stopping on the west side of main street and students have had to cross the street, holding up traffic on Highway 4, until the bus is loaded. Councillor Tom Cronin said he thought the practice was danger- ous with so many people crossing the road and that the long line-up of waiting traffic was going to cause some anxious driver to go through despite the bus's flashing lights with possible tragic results. Coun- cillor Bill Manning said the traffic back-up was sometimes a quarter- mile long. Council decided to approach the Christian Reformed Church to see if itwould agree to let the buses use its recently constructed parking lot as a loading zone. If this was agreeable council would then approach Mr. Elliott again and the bus company to see if the procedure could be changed. After two-closed door meetings with members of Hullett Township Council and one with engineer Art Clark of Wingham and Phil Bye of the Ministry of Environment. council agreed to pass a resolution Concerned about growing inci- dents of vandalism, Blyth village council will send a letter to Huron County Crown Attorney Bob Mor- ris requesting harsher treatment for those found guilty of the crime, it decided January 14 at its regular monthly meeting. The letter was spurred by one case in particular but in discussion councillors pointed out a number of recent examples of senseless destruction. The specific case before the courts involves the theft of flags and the destruction of the flag poles they were on in the decorative planter on the corner of Queen and King Streets in the parking lot of George Radford Construction Limited. Reeve Wasson said the Ontario Provincial Police had done "an above-average amount of work to get to the bottom of it" and arrests were made in the case. Also in recent months there has been the discharging of a fire extinguisher all over the walls of the kitchen of Memorial Hall and theft of an expensive rug from the Blyth and District Community Centre. Council will approach the Blyth Public Utilities Commission to share the cost of a new two-way radio system to connect the town office with work crews in the field. The system was recently installed by Bowes Electronic Shop at a cost of $1,395.28. A Blyth farmer will have a drain from his milk house connected to the village sanitary sewerage system with final approval from the Ministry of the Environment. When the sewer connection to the house of Siep Bosma was being made last year, an old drain from the milk house to the storm sewer system was unearthed. Since the drain carried waste water from washing up the milkhouse and equipment containing wastes un- acceptable in the storm sewer system, he was told he would have to disconnect the system and the possible solution of hooking into the sanitary sewer system was explored. Mr. Bosma will be charged a separate monthly sewer rate for the milkhouse drain. Crews from Radford Construc- tion have been looking after snow removal from Blyth streets due to a mechanical breakdown on the town snowplow. A water pump shaft broke sending the fan through the rad (which had only recently been installed at a cost of $500.) However, on the good news side, Reeve Wasson said that when the new rad had been installed the truck had worked much better and with the other major expense this winter of a $1700 brake job, the truck was performing well enough that council may want toreconsider its earlier plans to replace the truck. The motor of the truck seems to be in good shape but some body Continued on page 19 adopting a report prepared by Mr. Clark as the official "Plan of Operation" for the Blyth-Hullett Waste Disposal Site. The inch-thick document is the result of many months of meetings and studies and set down all rules for operation of the waste disposal site. Council had been cautious about approving it until all wrink- les were ironed out. The purchase of the Lorne Popp property by Blyth and Hullett councils became official January 15, giving the councils additional buffer zone around the waste disposal site. Council gave grants of $100 to the Goderich Branch of the St. John's Ambulance Society, and to the Salvation Army; $375 to the Wingham and District Association for the Mentally Retarded; $245 to the Goderich and District Associa- tion for the Mentally Handicapp- ed; $420 to the Town and Country Homemakers and $1500 from its 1985 budget that had been allocat- ed but not requested until late in December, to the Clinton Public Hospital.
