THE BRUSSELS POST, NOVEMBER •7, 1970 —
• Morris says no to .severance
After further discussion, council made a
motion to have Mr. Armstrong submit a
revised sketch showing the land to be severec
and another motion that council felt thdt the
66 foot road alloWance was consistent with
previous severances and that it wished to
adhere to that.
Council received another request for
severance from Wayne and Esther Cantelon
of R.R.4, Seaforth for Concession 7, lot 9 in
Morris TownShip asking that the house, barn
and shed by severed from the property.
information before making a decision.
In other business, conficil received a letter
from Robert Taylor regarding hydro poles in
Belgrave. Mr, Taylor said it appears that the
poles were positioned without regard.to the
plan that had been drawn up.
And he said the poles should be relocated
at the township's cost. Council will ask Mr.
Taylor 'to meet with some representatives of
council to discuss the matter.
Council also talked with Ministry of
Transportation and Communications re-
presentative Dale Le Souder about the ,
possiblity of tendering for a tractor for the
township and getting a new sander. The
township's road men will be paid $6.75 an
hour retroactive to October 1 and time and a
half for statutory holidays.
According to minutes of previous Morris
council meeting October 29', council had
decided to appeal their equalization factor to
the O.M.B. Council understood Morris could
face a tax increase of 44.8 per cent. Council
objected to the shortness of time it had to
consider the matter, compounded by the
difficulties obtaining sufficient information
from the Regional Assessment Office.
Council decided to send a copy of the appeal
to Murray Gaunt, Huron-Bruce M.P.P., the

anxious" to do something to hew. I don't
think I ever pick up a piece of knitting that I
don't think of a much-loved Primary
teacher, Miss Florence Buchanan, who
spent her recesses, and noon hours
teaching the girls of the Continuation
School to knit socks. Even some of the boys
joined in and knit scarves. A completed
pair of socks was a real thrill and many a
note of cheer and "good luck" was signed
by the knitter and tucked into the toe of a
sock. The socks were turned in to the Red
Cross and shipped overseas with other
comforts to the soldiers. Many months
later, a letter from the soldier who received
the socks from the Red Cross depot
brought a thrill to the young knitter who
had spent many hours accomplishing it.
In both the First and Second Wars, the
women of the whole community banded
together and under the Red Cross Society
produced terrific amounts of warm clothing
for the soliders. Each concession in the

country had its own little group and met
and worked and turned their finished
articles in to the Red Cross. One day a
week was set apart for this purpose. Some
of the ladies of our community would take
their,lunch and spend the whole day in the
basement of the Public library - cutting out
pyjamas, rolling bandages, sorting yarn to
be given out,
Boxes of food, treats and gifts were
prepared and sent to 'every solider whose
name was on a list of Brussels soldiers.
These were in addition to those sent by the
families of the soldiers. They were packed
with great care and love and contained
things that would survive the long, slow
trip - to Europe and reach the beloved
soldiers. Blocks of fruit cakes, homemade
candy, and cookies were often packed in
pop-corn to assure their safe arrival.
I am sure that our deepest wish is that
these two experiences will never be
experienced again.
Wartime-memories
After lengthy discussion on the pos-
sibilities of the buildings being left to
deterior ate council decided to object to the
severance on the basis that it was destroying
a valuable livestock facility and that the barn
would become obsolete without sufficient
adjaCent land to grow feed and dispose of
manure produced in a livestock operation.
Council pointed out that the place in
question was a modern dairy facility with 200
„acres of land.
Council also received a letter from the
Wingham and District Association for the
Mentally Retarded asking for funds for the
Silver Circle Nursery School. The letter
stated that there was one pupil from Morris
Township at the .school. Council decided to Minister of Agriculture, the Minister of
