PICK-UP 357-3862 6 — THE BRUSSELS POST JUNE 21, 1978 Mid Western Ontario has aquired a new organization. 14 weavers and spinners from Bruce, Huron and Perth counties met recently in Blyth, to form the "Huron Tract Spinners and Weavers Guild". Ms. Ruth Knight of Godcrich, the first president of the fledgling organization, said that the pur- pose of the guild is to promote an increased awareness and know- ledge of the value of handcrafted spinning and weaving, to the public. She said that a guild is an excellent vehicle for local weavers to learn from one another. For that reason there arc tentative plans for workshops, first with own talent, but possibly later with outside teachers. Weaving is an old craft in the Huron Tract. One of the best knoxYn weavers from old is Samuel Pentland, who arrived in Huron County in 1845, and-whose loom is still on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. Mrs. Knight said that some research in the history of weaving in the Huron Tract may be a future project.. As Vice president was elected Mrs. Evelyn Hardy, Goderich. Secretary is' Mrs. Mary McLeod of Seaforth, and treasurer is John Kerr of Belgrave. Beginners and experienced spinners and weavers are welcome to attend the meetings. Plans are bing made for work- shops to be held in the summer and fall. There is to be a nature-dying workshop in August. For further information in the Seaforth, Blyth, Brussels area please call Mrs. McLeod at 527-1199; Mr. Kerr at 887-9253 or Mrs. Toni Vos at 523-4294. LOL visits Huronview Rev, Norman Pick of the.

An Ontario Supreme Court judge says he found no evidence of corruption in a garbage dis- posal company's gift of $35,000 to -he Ontario Progressive Con- ,ervative Party while a sister firm was:seeking landfill permits from the Ontario Environment Ministry. Mr. Justice Sam Hughes, who headed the J Royal Commission into Waste Management In- corporated, says in a report released this week that he was "unable to find that there was any wrong doing or impropriety, or "'any improper influence brought to bear on members of the Ontario. Government or its public service" by the company. The cheque was cashed on July 24, -1974. A week later, the Environment Ministry granted a permit for a landfill site to the sister company. The evidence, however, in- dicated that the Minister and Ministry officials knew nothing 1 BERG 41114== I Sales — Service I Installation I FREE ESTIMATES I ° Barn Cleaners I I I ° Stabling ° Bunk Feeders I !Donald G.

A proposal to raise the rent of tenants of Ontario's subsidized housing units to 25% of their income has been stalljd until fall, according to Housing Minister Claude Bennett. The. Minister indicated that if there arc increases they will be phased in over a number of years. Ontario's rent review program should be continued for two years beyond the planned expiry date of December 31, with the ceiling on the rent increases allowable with- . out a hearing kept at 6%, an all-party Legislature Committee has recommended. Consumer and Commercial Re- lations Minister Larry Grossman and the rest of the Cabinet must decide whether to accept the views of the Committee when he introduces legislation on the issue. There is some indication that the House may recess for the summer next week, depending on the amount of legislation the Government wishes to process before summer.
