Remembrance Day
County council accepts
engineer's resignation
BY BOB MURPHY
“I’m going to drive over Ball’s
Bridge with a lot of pride,” County
Engineer Bob Dempsey told mem
bers of Huron County Council as
they accepted his resignation at the
regular November council session
last week in Goderich.
Mr. Dempsey tendered his
resignation at a special roads
committee meeting Oct. 28. Dur
ing its report to council last week,
the committee recommended ac
ceptance of that resignation “with
extreme regret”.
Asked to comment on his
resignation, Mr. Dempsey told
council his nine years as engineer
“have been fantastic’’. He ex
pressed his thanks for the experi
ence he gained during his service
with the county.
“Icameinasareal rookie,” Mr.
Dempsey said. When he arrived in
Huron County for instance, he
knew nothing about bridges, he
added. “As far as I knew, bridge
was a game played with 52 cards. ’ ’
Since that time, the engineer said,
he has been involved in the
building of seven bridges, the
reconstruction of 73 miles of
roadway as well as the resurfacing
of 78 miles of county roads.
He described his acceptance of a
division manager’s position with
an insurance company at its
Woodstock office as a different
field and a different challenge.
When opportunity knocks, you
are in the position where you either
step back or step forward,” he
said.
Burns U.C.W. met on Wednes
day afternoon, November 5 at the
home of Jean Scott with 12 present.
Trudy Pollard opened the meeting
with a poem “Thankfulness”
followed by hymn 164. Trudy
Pollard read the Scripture Luke 17.
Readings were given by Trudy.
Beth Knox read a poem “Re
membrance Day” written by John
Lawson. A general Thanksgiving
prayer followed. Trudy thanked
Jean for having the meeting.
Amelia Rice conducted the
business. Roll call was answered
with a bible verse, and minutes of
the last meeting were read. The
treasurer’s report was given by
Margaret Taylor. Correspondence
was read. Get well cards were
signed for Gladys Leiper, Mae
Smith, Isabel Colson and Jim
McEwing.
Members will exchange Christ
mas gifts. It was decided that they
would go out for Christmas dinner
for the December meeting.
The meeting closed with prayer.
Grace was sung and lunch served.
