T-A photo Times-Advocate, February 28, 1979 Saintsbury cottage service Population down Tuckersmith has surplus for 1978 Tuckersmith Township ended 1978 with a surplus of $71,880. “It’s been a fairly good year for the township,’’ auditor Mike Meyer of the firm of Diegel, Malcolm and Hagey, of Stratford, in­ formed council at a meeting in Brucefield, Tuesday. As well he praised the work done by Jack McLachlan, clerk-treasurer for the township. In presenting the 1978 financial report for the township, the auditor in­ cluded among the many details that the population of the township is 3,189 persons, down 140 from 1977; and that there are 842 households, up eight from 1977. He reported the taxable assessment for the township was $4,014,000 for 1978 compared to $4,385,000 in 1977. He said the accumulated deficit for the Vanastra Recreation Centre was $125,584 at the end of 1978, reduced from $160,930 in 1977 by a Wintario grant. Council will have an engineer assess the needed repairs to the road surface of the Vanastra Road bridge as requested by the Ministry of Transportation and Com­ munication Council will arrange a meeting with Engineer Russ Jackson of Stratford office of Tran­ sportation and Com­ munications to inspect the bridge (Crich’s) on sideroad off No. 8 highway, to con­ sider replacing it. Council considers this a dangerously narrow bridge, especially in winter when it is covered with snow or ice. It is centred between two steep hills. Council will at­ tempt to show the engineer the need to replace the old iron bridge. It is on a school bus route. This year council will charge a rent of $22 per hour for grader and operator for work on private property in the township, up from $18 last year. For grass cutting on private property council will charge $12 per hour for tractor and mower with operator. Council will investigate the costs of a new heating system for the newly pur­ chased township office IN MEMORY OF THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR In conjunction with the heart fund canvass, the winners of two velvet pillows in a draw sponsored by the local chapter of the Ontario Heart Foundation have been announced.

Ann Holden led an in­ spiring worship servic" based on the theme Love - Christ’s and Ours, assisted by Ruth Butler and Shirley Ryan. Jean Brown in­ troduced the Human Rights Study theme for the year, using various Scripture passages for discussion. • The group concluded that Christians have a unique contribution to make to the struggle for justice in the world. Not only does Christ’s love motivate them to seek justice for those who are oppressed, but the Good News of the Gospel has power to liberate both op­ pressor and oppressed from the fear, hate and selfishness which is at the root of the problem. Group members were reminded Of the craft show April 21, and urged to make early preparation, The World day of Prayer was announced for Friday, March 2 at 2 p.m, at Trinity Anglican Church (and not, as previously announced at Lucan Revival Centre). Child care is to be provided. building at Vanastra, also new storm windows. It is presently heated by elec­ tricity but the small heaters are not enough to supply comfortable heat to the office of clerk and the Huron Federation office, which rents office space in the building. Council will ask the Huron Federation of Agriculture for an increase in rent, $125 up from $100 as of April 1. Council will ask the Ausable-Bayfield Conser­ vation Authority to have its summer work team clean up the Bayfield River banks out from Egmondville as it is an unsightly mess of weeds and wild shrubs. Council will pay $12 per meeting for its three representatives of local fire area boards--Councillor Robert Fotheringham on Seaforth Fire Area Board, Councillor Frank Falconer of Clinton Fire Area Board and Deputy-reeve Robert Bell on Hensail Fire Area Board. Cleave Coombs of Egmondville will be paid $10 per attended meeting as the township representative on Seaforth Community Hospital Boards Reeve Ervin Sillery is paid by AusablerBayfield Con­ servation Authority for each meeting he attends as council representative. Councillor William Brown refused an allowance as township representative on Vanastra Day Care Centre Board, “An allowance paid to members of the board would only increase the Day Care deficit,” he said. Councillor Fotheringham, the other township representative on the Day Care Board, agreed not to accept an allowance for attending meetings of the board. Council endorsed a resolution from the Town­ ship of Hinchinbrooks asking the provincial government to “seriously consider’’ providing grants from Wintario profits for health care and education costs in the province. Diane Durnin, manager of Vanastra Recreation Centre, presented her 1979 budget for approval by council. The centre ended the year with a surplus of about $10,000 plus another $25,000 which the Vanastra recreation centre received in November as a covered pool grant from the provincial government. The auditor, described the $25,000 as a “windfall.” Council members agreed and said it was too bad they could not get such a grant each year. Council approved the budget for 1979 which totalled $116,252.50 com­ pared to expenditures of $108,025.52 in 1978. Actual revenue in 1978 amounted to $110,108.09. Council- received a few j letters and phone calls from township residents about recent publicity. Some criticised the free care given at the centre, but most were from mothers of children at the day care centre, who praised it. Councillor William Brown said he would like to thank those who sent in letters and said he hoped they had not misinterpreted him. He said he realized the day care centre was providing a good service but he was against the township residents having to pick up the costs of those not paying. He said he felt the town­ ship should get the 20 per cent deficit on all children from other townships who had children using the centre. (Two municipalities have refused to pick up their share).
