News briefs from Biyth Village Council Pending approval from the Ministry of Transport and Com munications, Biyth village council has no objections to positioning a sign to advertise Scrimgeour’s Knechtel store on the town’s parking lot. Store owner Don Scrimgeour asked for council’s permission to putasign, probablybearingthe Knechtel symbol and the store name on a post between the two planters in the parking lot, beside Highway 4. It is difficult for people driving through town to see the store located behind the parking lot. Mr. Scrimgeour said. Council also moved to try to facilitate getting approval from MTC for the sign’s erection. Tournaments continue to be expensive in terms of stolen property at the Biyth and District Community Centre. At the recent Slopitch tournament, some ingen ious air-head managed to steal the muffler off the tractor which was parked outside because it was being used to smooth the ball diamonds. Last winter at a tournament someone stole an expensive mat. Council voted to give a $1,000 grant to the recreation committee to help cover operational costs at the ball diamond. Revenue, it was reported, was slow coming in with expenses of $1,257 to date against income of $177 as of July 31. Revenue never matches the opera tional costs during the summer. Councillors were not excited about a proposal acting Clerk- Treasurer Ann Nesbit passed on to them about installing a children’s playground area between the two ball diamonds at the park. Coun cillors felt that by the sound of the positioning, the playground would be right in the middle of the area required by the Threshers’ Re union and the dog show and where the town dumps snow in the winter. Council will await more firm plans for this or for other plans by the Industrial Ball League to make improvements at the park.***** Biyth will receive a further $10,000 under the Ontario Home Renewal Program, Mrs. Nesbit told council. She said the grant had been confirmed by telephone. Council had learned earlier this year that all its money is presently budget Continued from page 1 was to be recovered from Hullett township which shares the site. The big item in the recreational, cultural and health services budget was $19,000 set aside for the purchase of additional land at the community centre complex. The village expects to recover a portion of this, $9,000 from the Huron Pioneer Threshers Association. In addition, with some repairs required to the ice-making equip ment at the Blvth and District Community Centre, the budget for the arena operations has jumped to $11,414 from $7,447. Work to Memorial Hall, includ ing replacement of the roof ($6,000), fixing damaged bricks ($2,200) and repairs to the en trance ($1,800) will increase the budget for the hall from $27,922 last year to $30,000 this year. Construction of a new parking lot behind the stores on the east side of Queen Street was the only major increase in expenses in the plann ing and development budget al though the overall budget was still only $4,500 compared to $10,709 last year because last year council spent $8,487 on the downtown redevelopment plan. loanedout. People borrow from the money to make home improve ments then pay back at a low rate of interestoverseveralyears. The money is provided by the province but administered by the municipal ity- When bills for the cost of this year’s paving program came in from Lavis Contracting they were $736.44 or about two per cent above the estimate given by the company in its tender. That in itself didn't bother council but councillors were upset by the cost of paving Wellington St. east of Morris. The 205 metre section was nearly $2,000 over the Biyth buys truck Continued from page 1 ing it might “startle a few people around town’’ but felt there was potential for too much to go wrong in the complicated mechanics for all the use it would be. Reeve Wasson and Councillor Tom Cronin were authorized to further investigate the two options (quoted prices were only about $100 apart) and choose which they felt was the better purchase. Cost of the box will be more than $4,000. estimate and more than $3,000 over the cost ofpaving a longer, 210 metre section of King Street, east of Morris. Part of the reason was that all incidental use of extra hotmix, for paving up to drive ways, etc. for the entire project was lumped into the Wellington Street costs. Still, council while approv ing the overall bill, voted to ask engineer B. M. Ross and Associ ates to explain the discrepancy. All other streets were near or below the original estimate.

Fruit farmers, supported by regional politicians are now asking for interest free loans to help them carry on till that time. The only grant money involved then is the interest on such loans.

The opponents were Walton (winners in the North Group) St. Columban (winners in the South after home-and-home games at Walton (won by St. Columban) and at St. Columban (won by Walton) the teams finished in a tie. The final game was set for Egmondville on Saturday, August 22nd. There was a good crowd on hand. As I recall the game, St. Columban scored first. Doug Warwick tied the game on a long shot from centre field that curved pastthe St. Columban goalie, Kale Holland - Walton scored the final goal and won the game and the series. The members of the Walton team were Geo. Taylor, Moody Holland, Doug Warwick, Lew Rowland, Harvey Bryans, Bob Holland, Jim McCall, Geo. Love, Lome Steiss, Clarence Steiss, Rae Carter, Jim Johnston, Ken Ben nett - Manager, Ed Miller - Asst. Manager (Herb Stretton and Alvin Farquharson played during the regular season). As a matter of interest the same teamswereinthefinalsagainin 1937 - and St. Columban won. Brussels was the winner in 1938. Walton had won the final series several times up to 1937. I am certain that none of the remaining team members would be interested in running after a soccerball today. However, it is interesting to look back once in awhile. YOURS TRULY HARVEY BRYANS.
