It.
More than 180 quilts were on
display in Walton last week as the
United Church Women put on one
of the more impressive shows of
the time-honoured craft seen in the
area.
Duff’s United Church provided
the setting for the exhibition, with
hand-made quilts of every size and
description laid over every pew in
the main part of the church.
Autumn sunshine streaming
through the stained-glass windows
accented the glowing colours of the
display, making it a most memor
able event.
More quilts were shown in the
church hall downstairs, where
visitorscouldenjoy a cup of tea and

applies for OHRP
Morris council to look
at hiring building inspector
An official from the Ontario
Ministry of Housing, Stu Hum
phrey, met with Morris Township
council on October 7 to explain the
duties and responsibilities of each
side, if council decides to hire a
building inspector and to enforce
the building code. At present, the
township does not employ an
inspector, nor does it comply with
the building code. Council will
further discuss the matter at a
special meeting on October 21.
Council has approved a grant of
$1,500 and a repayable loan of
$2,500 to the Belgrave Community
Centre Board, with the monies
going to the arena roof repairs. It is
expected that the loan will be
repaid as the result of a door-to-
door canvas in the townships of
Morris and Grey, and the village of
Belgrave.
Council also endorsed a motion
from the township of Oxford-on-
Rideau that maximum liability
insurance coverage for townships
be reduced to $1,000, down from
the current maximum of $7,000.
COUNCIL AGREES TO HIGHER
FIRE PROTECTION COSTS
Morris council has accepted a
recommendation from the village
of Brussels that the township pay
higher fire protection fees. Under
the agreement, the township will
pay the village a basic grant of
$1,200 per year, (up from $1,000),
plus $300 perhourforafire call, (up
from $20Q/hr.).
The condition of the Morris Twp.
landfill site has been approved by a
representative of the Ministry of
the Environment, which had claim-
ed earlier that the slope of the
dump-site was excessive, and that
waste was not sufficiently compac
ted at the site. Continuing ministry
approval is conditional upon main
tenance by the township every two
weeks.
On October 21, Morris Council
will meetwith Belgrave ratepayers
to present a proposal pertaining to
properties being affected by drain
age problems. Details of the
proposal were not revealed at this
time.
The township municipal office
will be open December 10-11 in
order that ratepayers concerned
with their assessment may be
heard. The open house is sponsor
ed by the Municipal Assessment
office in Goderich.
WAGES SET, TENDERS
ACCEPTED
Negotiations between Morris
council and road employees have
resulted in a slight increase in
wages for the latter. For the next
fiscal year, the road superinten
dent will get $10.20 per hour, up
from $9.60/hr., an increase of six
per cent; while a grader operator
will get $10.10/hr., up from $9.75,
a four per cent increase.
Council has passed a motion to
purchase a one-way snowplow
from Champion in Goderich for
$3,500; twonewtwo-way radios
will also be purchased for use in
road equipment.
Tenders for snowplowing for the
1986-87 season were opened, with
council accepting a bid from
George Radford Construction of
Blyth to plow Concessions 8 and 9,
Morris Twp., at a cost of $44 per
hour, subject to the approval of the
grader operator.
John McKercher of RR 2,
Bluevale has been given the
contract to plow Concessions 3 and
4, and the hamlet of Belgrave, at a
cost of $33.50/hr. Mr. McKer-
cher’s bid was chosen over one
slightly lower for several reasons,
including the fact that he
experienced on the route.
KEVIN WHEELER TO BE
HONOURED
Morris Council has made plans
to honour Kevin Wheeler of
Brussels by inviting the 20-year-
old to its annual Christmas party on
November 25. Mr. Wheeler has
recently won world acclaim by
placingsecond, with his partner, in
the pairs division of an internation
al figure skating competition at St.
Ibels, England. This is the latest in
a long list of major skating
triumphs for the youth.
Dorothy Rowles from the Mini
stry of Housing met with East
Wawanosh council, September 30
to renew responsibilities and
functions of the “Ontario Home
Renewal Program.’’
Council decided to have the clerk
make application to the Ministry of
Housing on behalf of the council,
requesting a grant under the
OHRP program intheamountof
$40,000.00.
To qualify for the assistance
under the program, there are a
number of requirements to be met,
so anyone interested would have to
contact the clerk’s office.
Council accepted the proposal
for the “Hydrogeological study’’
for the East Wawanosh landfil site
from Morrison Beatty Ltd. in
Mississauga.
A livestock claim of $3,880 was
paid to Loraine Hallahan to pay for
the chickens that were killed by
dogs.
some home baking while they
chatted. Several U.C.W. members
were dressed in 1880’s costumes,
while a number of antiques,
provided by Barbara and Max
Watts of Brussels, enhanced the
exhibition.
The show was the first of its kind
presented by Duff’s U.C.W., but
was such a resounding success that
Maxine Houston, vice president of
Unit I of the organization, would
like to see it become an annual
event.
Nearly all the quilts on display
were made by the ladies of the
congregation at Duff’s Church,
many of them quilted by volunteers
in the church basement, an
ongoing fund-raising project of the
U.C.W. Several quilts had won
awards at local fairs this season.
The show raised more than $500
for U.C.W. projects, with an
estimated 275 people in atten--
dance over both afternoon and
evening sessions.
