Nicholson Flowers LUCAN 227-4283 One of the major topics under discussion at the December meeting of the Lucan village council last Wednesday night was the feasibility of purchasing a piece of machinery to take care of several maintenance jobs. It was suggested that it would be advisable to buy a small tractor with various attachments to make it possible to sweep the streets in summer, cut grass and perhaps plough sidewalks in the winter. "It is impossible to clean the streets now with all the sand and salt on them," said Reeve Ivan Hearn. "But we should look around and get something adaptable." We could make good use of a piece of equipment like that," he added. Several alternatives were suggested. Councillor Bernie Avery suggested it, „might be possible to make' an-arrangement` with the arena whereby their tractor could be used for some of these jobs. It was stated, however, that the village would use the tractor just as much in the winter as in the summer, and that such an arrangement would not thus be feasible. Councillor Elizabeth Goddard questioned the possibility of obtaining a snow blower to clean sidewalks. Council decided,however, that there are too many problems connected with machinery of this sort, Councillor Wm Ma thers suggested that the village buy, rather than rent a small grader. The Reeve answered, however, that it was much cheaper to rent one. No final decision was made BOX 850 EXETER Please send the Exeter T-A as a Christmas gift to: concerning the question, A letter to council from Kleinfeldt and Associates ad- vised that the final surface treatment on the new subdivision roads should not be done in cold weather. Other than the final surface treatment, the letter said, the roads would be sub- stantially finished by the end of the year, Any contamination due to granular material would be fixed before the final surfacing, the letter stated. Council agreed that the roads should not be completed until spring. In another letter, the Liquor Control Board outlet in the village informed council that they would like to be able to remain open six days, in addition to Friday night. The store is presently closed on Tuesdays, but they said they didn't correspond with the closing times of any of the other businesses in the village. In addition, they said the extra day would provide a little more employment. Council had no objections to the request and informed the operators to proceed. Council was also informed that the Department of Highways did not 'approve plans for a storm sewer on Chestnut St., and would grant no subsidy on such a project. The Department said the only viable economic alternative was an open ditch, Council did not like the idea of an open ditch, however, and decided to leave it, and to try to get the drain 'subsidized in 1973. Several places were mentioned where snowfence should be put 3 up. Council decided that if any residents wish to borrow snowfence, they will have to sign for it. Several other minor questions were raised, but were set aside until the first meeting in the new year. By SID DALEY Sorry for letting you down last week Comrades, but I just couldn't make it - the flu bug had me down for the count of .T E. N plus - I have finally got my shoe laces back in place, and my thoughts partially oriented so here goes for a short whirl this week, Comrades here is a thought for you. It comes to mind the Royal Canadian Legion may quite easily be compared with an iceberg - a phenomenon of nature that shows but one tenth of itself above water in full sight and nine tenths hidden. The Legion view, that is noticed daily, gives the impression very often of it being a social club and it is judged by superficial minds accordingly. The Major work of the Legion, that of furthering the Veterans' cause, benevolence, youth, and community work is not quite so apparent. If almost any organization in a community were examined, a percentage of Legion members will be found. These people may not be representing the Legion as a body, but are .exemplifying the Legion spirit - that of working for the good of the. community.
