TO YOUR RESCUE fast! which would change the pro, cedure for sale of property for tex..arreers and would deprive the owners of the property or the estate of any funds Which might be derived from a forced sale, "I don't think that's very fair", he said. Commissioner George Arm- strong, reporting for tine PUC, said tine hydro revenue is up $400 a month since 1959.,"This is a good sign that prosperity is ahead of us," he said, The commission would like to See the new fluorescent lights installed "right through No, 84 highway" and they would do so. "as soon as we get the money t from council",, Fred Broadley questioned him about his report concerning the water meters, 200 of which have been installed, The PUC hopes to install the other 100 this coming year. After learning the meters cost $22 apiece, Broadley es- timated thePtic had about $4,500 invested which was bringing no return. "It seems to me to be false economy to do it this way." He felt the PUC should have invested the money in interest , bearing bonds until the whole program could be completed. Mr. Armstrong conceded "that might have been all right too" but pointed out the com- mission did intend to complete the program when it was start- ed. However, the installation of a main in the new subdivision, costing about $2,800, deprived it of the necessary funds. Broadley said he was satis- fied with the explanation. Brief reports were given by Robert Raeburn, principal of the school and secretary of the board, and by Howard Scene, PS board chairman.

Grocery Specials Ajax Compare at 490 At Hensall nomination FrideY ntght, officials avoided Of snob controversial topics ee the road closing bylaw and the proposed ceatral A41blic school but they did bring up scene new questions. Retiring Councillor Jack La- vender expressed opposition to a suggestion that a liquor bar be installed in the arena to help meet the expenses of that operation. Councillor Harold Knight proposed amalgamation of the arena board and recr eat igen committee to erOVide better co- ordination between the two bo- dies. Councillor Fred Broadley questioned the wisdom of the PVC water meter program, which has come to a halt after installation in about 200 of the 300 homes in the village. He suggested' the funds involved were "rusting away in people's cellars". Only 20 people remained to hear the municipal reports, a situation which Lavender term- ed "pathetic". Making a "swan song" ad- dress to the small crowd, La- vender tackled the arena bar suggestion first. "That I don't go along with," he said flatly. "The idea seems to be that it is almost impossible to get • a crowd out to anything un- less you have a bar. If we fol- lowed that argument the mini- sters should have bars in the churches to get bigger con- gregations.'' He said he understood that an arena grant had been pro- vided by the department of ag- riculture on the condition that no alcoholic beverage be served. However, he said none of the records showed such 'a condition existed and he urged that if anyone knew anything about it he would like to hear from them. As a member of the recrea- tion committee, Lavender said an editorial in The Times-Ad- vocate regarding the lack of leadership for youth "hurts" and "brings tears" to those who had been attempting to organize activities. The editorial followed the "gang war" at Hensall in Sep- tember and suggested that the community should provide oth- er, more constructive means for youth to occupy their time. Lavender said he hoped the editorial was not pointed at we the people of Hensall but at all the communities around." (Hensall was not specifically cited in the editorial). The editorial, he said, sug- gested the recreation commit- tee was not doing enough for the people. "That hurts, ladies and gentlemen, that hurts". He cit- ed the efforts of the committee and added: "Then to have a statement like that thrown at you, it brings tears." A number of years ago, he said, there was a good recrea- tion program going in Hensall but such things as the hobby show and teen town have been discontinued. "What happened, I don't know". The committee had tried to get them going again without success. "What the an- swer to those problems is, I don't know." Lavender also reported the facilities at the new vocational school at Clinton, which he viewed at the opening recently; were "nothing short of breath- taking". He urged residents to visit the school if they got the opportunity. He also backed the suggestion that the numbering of houses in Hensall be undertaken. He said he earlier had made a commitment not to stay in council if another person was nominated and he would stick to that promise. "So Mrs. Nee- kes," he said, "you can walk in, rather than run." Mrs. Noakes accepted the in- Vitation and filled the council slate.
