As of now only the super structure of the first floor of the building is completed, but workmen were preparing the floor of the second floor for pouring concrete. A second building similar to this one will be erected near the site. These two buildings, adjacent to the Bendex plant will be three stories high with a total capacity of 72 rental units. Photo by T.

In order to become eligible for such housing, Hensel' must first distribute questionnaires to all residents 60 years of age or over in the village of Hensall. These are returned to the London. OHC office where they are analysed according to interest and need. The ministry then attempts to get in touch with as many senior citizens as possible who seemed interested and/or needy on their questionnaires to verify the inter- est is really there. Mr. Cowan says it is pre- sently uneconomical for the government to construct build- ings of less than 15 units, so if less than 15 very interested or needy people return the question- naires then it is very unlikely there will be such a project built in Hensel'.

Fat cattle — heifers, $36.75-$38.76, sales to $39.25; steers $38.50-$40.90, sales to $42.00. Pigs; weanlings, $37.00- $40.00; chunks $41.75-$49.00, difficulty getting the question- naires distributed as he has to do all the work himself in addition to his other duties as Hensall clerk. However, Mr. Heil has sent out all the questionnaires- 610 of them and hopes the senior citizens will fill them in as soon as possible and send them on to London. So far Mr. Cowan's office in London has not received any responses to the questionnaires whatsoever. Although there is no deadline, the sooner the questionnaires are filled in and mailed, the better chance Hensell has of getting its senior citizen apartments, News from Queensway Recent birthday celebrants were honored on the occasion of their birthdays.

Hensall's sewers are going to be finished several months ahead of schedule and lasted of being happy at this information, many Hensall residents may fmd it a problem. When the sewers were started the Ministry of the Environment estimated the completion date would be June 1977. The con- struction company who received the job revised this completion date to November 1976. It now appears the sewers may be ready for hook-ups as early as Septem- ber of this year. This means Personals Mr. & Mrs. Richard Gittus of Bridgeton, Missouri spent last week with the former's mother Mrs. Gertrude Gittus and other relatives. Mr. & Mrs. Joe Wherry and girls. Mrs. Robina McLeod of Lon- don spent the weekend with Mr. & Mrs. Robert Lavery and family. Merchant helped others The recent death of Mr. Wilfred 0. Goodwin in Hensall on Dominion Day brings to mind a man who lived for others both in his personal and business life. Mr, Goodwin was a prominent business man in the village for many years, having first a men's apparel factory and later a prosperous dry goods, clothing and shoe store. The latter business he ran until the late 50's, Mr. Goodwin was a member of the liensall Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and was presented with his 50 year pin at a bed-side ceremony recently, He was choir leader at the Hensall United Church for many years and also a member of the Masonic Temple and the LO.O.F. The community will miss this long-time resident. up for 40 years, the total cost is $2,080. For this year only, resid- ents may prepay at a rate of S3.07 per foot frontage and $330 hook-up for a total of $532.62. This means that a home-owner can actually save close to $1,400 by prepaying the full amount. Reasons for the swift com- pletion of the project are many. The grading of the tile proved to be fairly easy as there is a natural 28 foot fall from east to west through the town and this is the direction the sewers run. Also the construction company has gone full speed with four or five crews at a time working on the project. • Yamaha AVAILABLE AT COUNTRY CORNER MT.

As tax bills for this year have already been tint out, the sewage charges will be sent in the form of invoices. Frontage charges are 341e a foot over 40 years and the connection charge is 532.20 a year for 40 years. However, if this seems like a lot of money, there is a way to get around it. Once these charges are placed on your taxes, they are there for forty years and there is nothing you can do about it.. As the taxes for this year have already been sent out, these charges well not be entered officially on the taxes until next year, giving home-owner a chance to prepay this year and save money. It works this way. The averag‘ lot frontage. in Her-call, according to clerk Bob Hell, is 66 feet. Now at 304 a foot frontage for 40 years and 532.20 a year hook- Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Estep were united in marriage June 19th, 1976 at Zurich Mennonite Church.
