However, a suggestion for cutting costs in the program was turned down by council at their Monday night meeting. PUC manager Hugh Davis suggested the costs for the town and the PUC could be cut by having the recipients of the trees dig their own holes. Councillor Ted Wright said he had mixed opinions about that suggestion, noting that some supervision would be required to ensure the holes were dug properly. His motion to carry on the program as usual with the PUC digging the holes was approved. He said that in view of the cost of the trees, it was worth the extra labor cost to ensure they were > Dance to JOE OVERHOLT & THE STANDBYS Fri., May 11 Councillor Jay Campbell said he would be concerned if there were people physically unable to dig their own holes. Reeve Si Simmons questioned if the tree plan ting program was being con ducted on an equal basis between the town and PUC. He said the town spent over $800 for the trees and the PUC should have as much pride in the community and be prepared to spend a similar amount in planting the trees. When works superinten dent Glenn Kells reported that the town works depart ment also had labor costs in volved, Simmons asked if the PUC had been billed their share of that cost. Simmons’ attack on the PUC was curtailed when Councillor Don Cameron suggested the discussion was making a mountain out of a mole hill. It was indicated the PUC donated 65.5 hours of labor to the project and 31 hours of trucks. for RICK ETHERINGTON LUCAN ARENA May 11, 1979 Dancing 9-1 $8.00 per couple Lunch Provided Proceeds to operation of Lucan & District Nursery School, Paul Passmore's Shed FISHERMEN'S COVE RESTAURANT Specializing in Fresh Perch Dinners Eat in or Take out 63 River Road Grand Bend 238-2025 J r -----—^AKWOOD INN“---------------------- OUR SUMMER RETREAT OFFERS: FINE DINING LOUNGE AND RESTAURANT GOLF & TENNIS BEACH & GAMES Motel & Golf 238-2324 For Dinner Rese rvations Dining Room 238-2328 Fee/ Free To Browse Our Beautiful Grounds • MOTEL & CABINS • ENTERTAINMENT Grand Bend Hwy. #21 Take A Short Drive South On The Lake And Discover ...

Apparently it proved worth the time and effort. Worn out furniture, old tires, rusted toys, discarded bikes and other rejected items lined the streets. From 9 a.m. till mid afternoon the members of the Lions Club continuously filled two large trucks picking up articles not normally taken away the regular garbage collection. The garbage was then taken to a private dump on the edge of town leaving the village neat and tidy. As soon as they finished, young lads from the com munity sped to the dump to further re-cycle the garbage. They happily returned home with pockets filled with “treasurers”. Unfortunately a number of teenagers were later seen driving the loader left at the dump, and the police and owner were quickly sum moned. Last year a similar situation occured when the windows of the loader were smashed and wires were pulled out. We hope that this valuable service provided by the Lions which greatly benefits the community can continue, but not at the expense and distress of one giving assistance. Used glasses solicited Old eyeglasses need not be discarded. The Ailsa Craig and District Lions Club is asking anyone who has any pair of glasses no longer being used to donate them to them. The glasses are taken to Arkona where they are reground and prescriptions filled for persons unable to afford the cost of new glasses.

Clerk Wilmar Wein reported Monday that the 1979 allocation for drain loans from the Province of Ontario has been received. The new allotment is for $595,300. This is an increase of $25,300 over last year. Wein said not too many applications were on hand. He added, “A lot of drainage was done last year.” A land severance applica tion from PaulPavkeje for part of Lot 7, Con. 1 was ap proved sugject to the transfer of the property from agricultural to com mercial. The township has learned from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Com munications that supplementary subsidies to construct a new bridge on Lot 22, Concession 4-5 would not be forthcoming this year. Because of the lack of funds, council will drop the construction plans for this year and switch to repair of another structure. Goderich engineer B.M. Ross will be instructed to prepare a study for a new deck and wingwall showing on the iron bridge at roadlot 5-6, Concession 5 over the Ausable River. Council will be asking the Minister of the Environment to allow the supply of water to about 31 properties in the Concession 22, Mollard Line and Highway 81 area south of the B Line from the ex isting pipeline.
