Replying to complaints by Brussels councillors at last week’s Brussels council meet­ ing, Reeve Fraser said he had it on good authority that Morris’ representative on the BMG committee had outlined the problem to the committee last year of Morris having to pick up extra recreation costs because of a major equipment break­ down at the Blyth arena and the committee had agreed to re­ duce the Morris portion of the BMG costs from $4,000 to $3,000. Reeve Fraser said Morris will seek a meeting with Brussels to straighten out the matter.

Pennies for Friendship collection was to be 10 cents for the picture you brought, and 25 cents ifyou didn’t bring one. The motto “Life is like a seed, it grows according to its care” was given by Iona Moore. Ruth Gal­ braith introduced the guest speak- upset that Brussels hadn’t come to Morris first to discuss the matter if there was a problem, not decide to contact Grey township without ever discussing the matter with Morris. Councillor Morton said Mor­ ris does not feel it broke the agreement since it had the permission of the BMG recrea­ tion board to change its amount of payment. Reeve Fraser said that Mor­ ris did run a surplus in 1987 as had been stated but that it didn’t know until the last moment it would have the surplus and that a bad month of weather in December would have eaten up the extra money. Still, he said, if Brussels had come to it with its concerns over the reduced payment the town­ ship would have increased its payments as it is doing this year. play will start at 10 a.m. and continue to the last game which is the Championship Final at 6:20 p.m. Hope to see you there.
