The Grand Bend clerk added, "If the financial position of the senior governments was as good as Grand Bend's the country would be in good shape." The much awaited water sys- tem in Grand Bend is closer to becoming a reality. Letters were read at Monday's meeting from the Ontario Water Resources Commission and the Ontario Municipal Board granting final approvals to the system. The final bylaw and agreements were signed by Reeve Orval Wassmann and clerk Desjardins and were forwarded to Toronto Tuesday morning. The total cost of the project has now set at $393,683, an in- crease of $5,083 being the amount of costs incurred by the village of Grand Bend for preliminary work on the system. Preliminary steps were taken to officially close a portion of Kitchener avenue that runs north of main street in the easterly end of the village. A London lawyer, Bill Dyer, representing Murray Douglas one of the owners requesting the street be closed, asked for per- mission to take the proper pre- liminary steps in a road closing procedures. The street allowance in ques- tion, starting about 500 feet north of main street, has never been used by the village for road pur- poses. All members of council agreed the request was reason- able and instructed clerk Des- jardins to forward t 1, e informa- tion to village solicitor Elmer D. Bell of Exeter for his advice.

When Vickery moved to Vic- toria, he failed to report to his probation officer. The court was told he failed to complete his monthly payment of restitution for the 1967 theft. IVIROUBMW*007,:—. FARM SHORTS Horizontal silos can be used very efficiently for storing for- ages. Spoilage losses can be.kept at a level nearly comparable to those in vertical silos, if they are properly constructed and fill- ed. A solid well-drained base is essential. The silage should be cut fine. The silo must be pack- ed well and should be filled as quickly as possible. Dr. Stan Young, of the Crop Science De- partment at the Ontario Agri- cultural College, e mp ha s iz es sealing the silo tightly. Plastic is usually the best, but care should be taken to make certain it is securely held down. Used tires, placed tread to tread, can be used for this purpose. Haylage can be too dry for the silo and too wet for the barn. Both could be in danger of spon- taneous combustion if the mois- ture content of the hay or hay- lage is left to guesswork. A moisture tester, says Dr. Stan Young of the Crop Science De- partment at the Ontario Agricul- tural College, is a good invest- ment, even at $80 to $90. It would be extremely good insur- ance against fire in the silo or the barn. By MRS. W.. MOT;. Mr. and Mrs, Carmen ltodgins and.

On the advice of the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs Grand Stanfield — Continued 'from front page formance from the government. Canadians have had their worst suspicions confirmed about this government that it is utterly incapable of governing the country, careless about our prob- lems, and contemptuous of the democratic process," he con- cluded. Mr. Stanfield was introduced by Huron PC candidate Bob Mc- Kinley, and other party hopefuls present were John Loney of Bruce and Marvin Howe of Grey- Wellington. The Hon. C. S. MacNaughton was also a platform guest and said that to a man, the govern- ment of Ontario "is out for Bob Stanfield". A brief question and answer period followed Mr. Stanfield's address, and a couple of the questions were easily handled by the PC leader. One little girl wanted to know if he would ever come back to Wingham, and he replied it would be "pretty hard to stay away." Another girl wanted to know why there was an election, and he replied that most elections were called to give the people an opportunity to express their wishes as to which party should govern them. However, he said the real reason for the upcoming election was simply because Mr. Trudeau was aging so rapidly he wasn't sure he'd survive much longer. He agreed with another ques- tioner that the French-English problem was afundamental prob- lem, but noted progress had been made at last year's two confer- ences and suggested it was a problem that would not be solved in an election campaign. Among these attending were people from Exeter, Dashwood and Zurich who had chartered three buses for the event. Exeter Liberal Association Everyone notes the growing enthusiasm for the Liberal Party.
