Stanley and Bayfield share board member The Flea Market, an open air market, originating in one of the larger cities of Europe, where old or new items are sold (Websters Dictionary). This is a basic description of the type of market owned and operated by Bob Sandercott and Dianne Corn- ford just 3 miles south of Grand Bend on Hwy. 21. In other words "The Market With a Little Bit of Everything." The Pinery Flea Market has items which would interest the young and old alike. During the past few years a various number of artists have been present with their creations ranging from ceramics, macrame, jewellery to leather goods. One of the very interesting booths was that of two young men from London. For the past two years Glen Webster and Terry Cottrell have indulged in the hobby of making stained glass articles. Since there has been a revival of glass items • such as windows and Tiffany lamps this hobby has almost 'bloomed into full time work. Glen and Terry must travel hundreds of miles in order to ob- tain suitable types of glass materials. Then in addition to this up to 200 hours may be dedicated to the making of just one creation. So all of you who may wonder why all of these beautiful items would put such a large dent in your pocketbok now know. If anyone does not know, the price range of the different styles of Tiffany lamps range anywhere from $200-$1,000, These two craftsmen will be back to the Pinery Flea Market in the near future with a whole new line for their display. Come out to see for yourself the workmanship of the many dealers.

Our examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other sup- porting evidence as we considered necessary in the cir- cumstances. Under the terms of the agreement with the Ontario Water Resources Commission, commuted payments for frontage and curb stop valves are required to be paid over to reduce interest charges on the debt. At year end these payments totalling 112,- 365 were being used as temporary financing by the Water Supp- ly System. In our opinion, subject to this qualification, these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Village of Grand Bend and its local boards as at December 31, 1975 and the results of their operations for the year then ended in accor- dance with accounting principles generally accepted for On- tario municipalities applied, after giving retroactive effect to the change referred to in note 5 to the financial statements, on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Stanley township council received notice of this change from Huron County at their regular meeting held July 6. Formerly there were two board members between Stanley, Bayfield, Tickeriniith and Seaforth. The reason for the shuffling of school board members is the separate school is now eligible to have two members on the Huron County Board of Education as opposed to the one member they have had previously. A Court of Revision on the Deitz drain was held by Stanley council with the result the drain is to proceed and tenders will be called for the work. Four applications for tile drain- age loans under the tile drainage act were approved to a total of $0,700. Work will commence on these drains as soon as possible. A by-law was passed to pay $4,000 on a tile drain loan which was previously approved by council and which has been completed.
