the Guides to having a birthday
party to celebrate Lord and Lady
Baden-Powell’s joint birthdays

candy at Robinson’s sugar bush to
learning to square dance with the
Beavers.
The past year has been fun.

the year.

Blyth council
looks at drain
problem
A complaint from a Gypsy Lane
homeowner will have Blyth council
looking into drain problems in the
area before development of a new
apartment building makes the
problem worse.
In a letter to council dealt with at
the May meeting May 12, Mason
Bailey said that for the first time in
more than a decade his basement
was flooded last fall, after a new
roadway was put into Lion’s Park
just north of his house. He also
noted that catchbasins had been
installed on both sides of his
property by the village which
allows water to enter the drain
more quickly, overloading it and
making it back up into his
basement.
He pointed out the danger of
even more water being put into the
drain from the run off from roof and
parking area of the new eight-unit
apartment building being built just
to the south of his house. He asked
council if something could be done
to take more of the runoff water
across to the west side of Gypsy
lane and let it run into the
agricultural park where it could be
absorbed more slowly, taking the
pressure off the drain on the east
side of the street.
Council agreed to look into the
problem and have a site meeting to
see what drains to where and see if
a solution to the problem can’t be
found.
Mrs. Leona Armstrong, Mrs. Dons
McCall, Mrs. Kathy Bridge and
Mrs. Ida Evans make up the
committee in charge of the events
of the 115th Anniversary of
Brussels which pertain to the W.I.
Mrs. Steffler introduced the
guest speaker, Mrs. Goldie Ruth
erford of Atwood who showed
slides of her exchange trip to
England and up to Scotland. They
were hosted by W.I. members in
England who had come to this area
previously. Mrs. Rutherford gave
a splendid commentary on her
pictures.
Mrs. Ruth Galbraith gave the
motto “Is the W.I. keeping up with
the times” which gave lots of proof
that we are. The next meeting on
June 10, will take the form of a bus
trip to the Erland Lee Home at
Stoney Creek and then to Dundas
to the famous greenhouse.
McCall new MVCA chairman
At the May 13 Executive Com
mittee meeting of the Maitland
Valley Conservation Authority,
Chairman Vince Judge of Listowel
asked the Executive to appoint
Vice-Chairman Bruce McCall of
Brussels to the M.V.C.A. Chair
man’s position for the remainder of
Mr. Judge’s term.
Citing personal responsibilities
and an increased workload, Mr.
Judge said he has found it difficult
to make the time commitment
necessary for the Chairman’s
position.
“I have enjoyed the work of the
Authority and really appreciate the
support that Authority members
have given me” said Mr. Judge,
“however I will not seek a
reappointment to the Authority.”
The M.V.C.A. Executive accep
ted Mr. Judge’s resignation with
regret and wished him well in his
future endeavours.
