Clerk C, 14, Pickard was in-
structed to enquire As to when
council could expect the report
which will recommend the type
of system required and how ex-
tensive III 0 Initial project
should be,
Mayor Pooley said he ex-
pected the report "shortly."
Reeve McKenzie, pointing out
that council had been waiting
for the report for almost two
years, wondered if the town
should appoint an engineering
firm on its own to proceed with
the plans, '
Councillor Farrow complained
that council had been expecting
a report "shortly" a year ago.
councillor Bailey asked if
council was seriously interested
in sewerage, "Can we afford
it?"
Councillor Siorinons rioted

"That's not too far away, If

The mayor assured council
the OWRC had promised to pre-
sent a plan for partial service
early in the new year. Several
men from the commission had
been intown studying the si-
tuation just hefore Christmas.'
Reeve McKenzie wondered if
it might not be more practi-

The snow storm which hit
the area on Saturday, and
lasted through most of Sun-

snow on the area, and high
winds turned. it into blizzard
conditions at times.
The met section at RCAF

with gusts recorded at 48 miles'

Following. the storm, the

to remain through most. of this

This relatively mild spell
will remain in the area, and'
is expected to turn even nii.V1

Firemen's efforts saved the
barns near the home which
were threatened by the roaring
northwest wind. The water

Nat Corriveau, which have
been hauling supplies to live-
stoek in the area, helped to
provide the brigades with wa-

Mr, Masse was attending
church with the three girls of
the family when the fire broke
out in the basement. His wife
could not tura in the alarm
because 'the phone was out of
order but she sent one of the
children to the neighboring
farm of an uncle, Alfred Mei
-
clinger. Mr. Meidinger checked
to see that all the children
were safe, then turned in the
alarm.
Mrs. Masse said she wasn't
certain how or where the. fire
started but it spread so fast,
she had little time to act. She
made four trips into the snow
in her bare feet to get 'the boys
out of the house. "They kept
trying to go back in," she said.
She had difficulty convincing
the six-year-old, Douglas, to
go for help.
"I went back to get the
baby's bottle but 1 coulln't get
in for the smoke," she re-
called.
The girls are Viktoria. 15;
