MCCULLOCH Super Pro 40 It's a fact! The McCulloch Super Pro 40 weighs less than 12 pounds yet does almost everything any other chain saw can do. It even outper- forms many heavier saws. And all for very good reasons, The 2.3 cubic inch engine in the Super Pro 40 develops more power per cubic inch than any other saw in the McCulloch lightweight line. A friction-reducing 14 inch sprocket nose bar gives up to 21% faster cutting through logs up to 28 inches thick. In spite of the mighty punch it packs, the Super Pro 40 doesn't tire you out with vibration. Because, it features the ex- clusive McCulloch Cushion Power anti-vibration system. Likewise, the special patented "Reed" muffler cuts out irritating high- level noise.The SafetyTrigger throttle latch keeps the engine from accelerating accidentally. An auto- matic oiler pumps the exact amount of oil to the bar and chain as you cut, which means proper lubrication and longer bar and chain life. And, since the Super Pro 40 is first and foremost a McCulloch, it has CHAIN BRAKE, the professional safety feature that stops a moving chain in milliseconds. With all this, the Super Pro 40 is definitely a winner. Ask for a dem- onstration today, at your McCulloch dealer's. We're sure you'll agree: the Super Pro 40 is the Lightweight Champ,of the World.

He said there is a terrific amount of overlap and it is hard to allot a fair portion of the tax dollars out to alt the recrea- tion areas. Concerning the Vanastra day care centre, Mr. Sillery reminded ratepayers the gov- ernment is picking up 80 per cent of the loss so it isn't costing them very much. He added it seems to be getting more and more popular all the time. However, he said if. he says it was not being patronized he would recommend cutting it off. Mr. Gates informed the meet- ing he is interested in a position on Tuckersmith council, but it will be another few days be- fore he decides whether to try and "knock off" Mr. Sillery in a bid for reeve or run as a councillor. Wilf Sneider, also of Vanas- tra, said he was going to run for council as well. "I think I can be of some help in making sensible decisions with the 20 years of experience I have had in industry he said. He added operating a municipality is much like operating a business in that you have to "watch expenditures and make sensible decisions, not throw any money around." The last person to say he is considering running for council was Frank Falconer. Mr. Fal- coner has had seven years on council in earlier years. He said he felt council should "pound on Clinton's table and tell them if they don't want us in their recreation facilities then we won't go there at all and they would notice a difference. Ile added, "If we can't pound this in then maybe we should just pay them." However, Mr. Falconer said he has not de- finitely decided to run as he still has to get 10 names on his nomination papers, and "my wife's consent." Ben Brydges, on behalf of the community of Vanastra, thanked Reeve Thompson for the work he has done say- ing, "Over the past four years we have seen great improve- ment in Vanastra." Mr. Bryd- ges says Vanastra has com- plained to the township in the Close to 40 people attended just wish the new council the Tuckersmith ratepayers every success, and thank you meeting last week in the Huron all."

However, according to Reeve Thompson, Vanastra has 98 children enrolled in swimming courses and they have not laid any extra charges on those children, "Where does the ball stop rolling?" asked Reeve Thomp- son and then added, "they use our facilities and we don't charge them but we get charg- ed for using theirs." Ervin Sillery, deputy-reeve for Tuckersmith, has also been on council for 15 years, but for him it is not over yet. Mr. Sillery declared he will be a candidate for reeve in the com- ing municipal election. Mr. Sil- lery said it had been wonder- ful sitting with a reeve such as Mr. Thompson and that he was too good a man to put on the shelf yet. Councillor Cleve Coombs has decided to retire from council after spending 11 years there. "I feel I should move up the ladder after 11 years," said Mr. Coombs, "however, the posi- tion I'm in now just doesn't give me the time to do so." After six years on council, Bert Branderhorst is also step- ping down. "There should be a better man than I am in the crowd," said Mr. Brander- horst. "It's time to step down." Bob Bell has just completed his first term on council and said he has enjoyed it very much. He intends to let his name stand for deputy-reeve if the ratepayers see fit to support him. Following statements by the members of council, the rate- payers had a chance to ask particular members about council's actions over the past two years. George Townsend asked if there had ever been any thou- ght put into finding another engineer? Reeve Thompson replied to this saying there had, but the one they have now is "pretty darn good". "We choose the engineer we think is the most capable," said Reeve Thompson. "All engineers have their faults and it is had to find someone who pleases everybody." Reeve Thompson assured Mr. Townsend if he his was the only nomination paper received by the clerk of the township by the deadline Monday, he is elected by accla- mation. Robert Bell is Deputy-Reeve by acclamation for the town- ship as his nomination was the only one received by the clerk before the deadline. However, there were eight nominations received for the three positions as council members. They are: Rob Gates, Robert Drummond, Wilf Schne- ider, Robert Sotheringham, Ronald Broome, Frank Fal- coner, William C. Brown and Peter F, Jensen. Those nominated have until 5 p.m. Tuesday to withdraw their names if they so desire. Three nominations were received for the position of trustee to the Huron Board of Education. They are Rob Gates, Kenneth C. Cooke and Mrs. Dorothy Williams. The only nomination receiv- ed for the position of trustee on the Huron Perth Separate School Board was Michael Connolly, Bean Festival Annual meeting The annual meeting of the Zurich Bean Festival was held November 3, 1976 at Hay Town- ship Hall. Slate of officers for the new year: president, Jack Eckel; first vice-president, Herb Turk- heim; second vice-president, George Haggitt; secretary, Hel- en Horner; treasurer, Robert Redick. Glen Thiel and Glenn Weido were named honorary presid- ents for their many endeavors in the past 10 years. Ervin Sillery is the new reeve of Tuckersmith township. As wished to have another engin- eer used, all he would have to do would be to go to council and request it. Another ratepayer asked council several questions con- cerning the Sheppherd drain, The total cost of the drain was $13,000 and the ratepayer claimed he and several of his neighbours were billed for the drain although they had not received any notice from council the work was being done, Clerk Jim McIntosh explain- ed the drain had been done un- der an old by-law as repair assessment and everyone had been billed accordingly. Reeve Thompson added it was cheaper to do the repair that way. All the other drains were either 100 'percent or more of the estimated cost but the Shepherd drain ran only 96 percent of the estimated cost. Rob Gates of Vanastra then asked several questions of Mr. Sillery. "I'm not trying to put you on the spot," he said to Mr. Sillery, "I just want to know that I'll be doing the right thing if I cast a vote for you." Mr. Gates asked Mr. Sillery what his stand on regional government was. Mr. Sillery said he had voted to retain the deputy-reeves at the country level as he felt the more people you have the more opinions there are to draw from. He said he has opposed regional government as much as poss- ible, adding if the municipali- ties get lax, regional govern- ment may close in. Mr. Gates then asked Mr. Sillery if he still believed what he had said in the past, that council has to abide by decis- ions made in Toronto. Mr. Sillery replied that in certain circumstances it is possible to express opinions very effectively. He says he and others on several occasions have gone to Toronto to speak directly with the ministry in- volved in a particular problem and made sure the feelings of the municipality are known. He added he can only deal with the township and vote on things at the County level as he sees them, and he has no power to see what the Ontario REEVE SAYS NO MORE—Elgin Thompson has been a member of Tuckersmith township for 15 years, and at the ratepayers meeting last week he informed those present he would not run again.
