Blyth council briefs Projection shows Blyth right Blyth village finances appear to be just about right on budget, according to figures presented in a lengthy session with village ac countant Bill Vodden of Vod den and Bender. The financial statement present ed projected a surplus in general account items (including every thing from administration to streets and lights) of more than $6,000. This will be offset by a projected deficit in recreation of $2,898. These amounts do not , iinclude money put away in reserve for future projects such as repair of Memorial Hall roof which is not now expected to take place until next April or May. ***** Councillor Bill Manning, who has been vocal in his displeasure with the Huron County Planning and Development Committee was rendered speechless when he learned there has still been no reply from the committee to a letter sent last month. Councillor Mann ing had led council's battle with the committee over its refusal to refund a severance fee which Blyth had paid in error when it purchased land to add to the fair grounds. He was angry at the committee's failure to send any response after he and councillor Lloyd Sippel had appeared before the committee to argue their case. Another letter was sent last month wondering why there had been no reply. Despite some good-natured prodding from the other council lors Councillor Manning didn't say anything. Reeve Albert Wasson said he had heard at county council that a reply would be coming. ***** Council voted to spend up to $1,500 on new Christmas decora tions for Blyth streets. Looking ahead to warmer thoughts, councillors discussed possible alternatives to the current hanging flower baskets that decor ate Blyth’s main street in the summer. It was noted the baskets are hard to water and dried out quickly. Council suggested it might like to discuss possible alternatives with the Blyth Horti cultural Society at a later meeting. ***** An end may be in sight to the complaints about the smell eminat- ing from the basement of the Blyth Municipal building. Workers at the Huron County Library have complained for years that books returning from the Blyth library could be identified by their musty smell. But town workmen have been cleaning out the old basement and carting away truck loads of garb age some of which, town foreman Merv Ritchie esti mated. must have been there at least since the telephone office occupied the building. Drains in the floor have been opened up. Council agreed to go ahead with cementing of the floor to try to keep the smell from coming back once the job is finished.***** Art Clark of Maitland Engineer ing in Wingham will be called to help prepare an application for funding under the PRIDE pro gram. There is some confusion over what slant should be taken with the application. Last year the village followed the best advice it had been able to obtain on the direction of the new program and submitted a proposal for one large project, centred around Memorial Hall. The project was turned down because apparently priorities had changed and the PRIDE officials now wanted several smaller pro jects instead of one big one. Council will now consider every thing from sidewalks to parks to main street flower planters to upgrading of the original 1953 water mains. Meanwhile, Helen Grubb, clerk- on budget treasurer reported, Mr, Clark has nearly finished his proposal for improvements to Blyth’s main street when the Ministry of Transport and Communications rebuilds Highway 4. Once the proposal is finished, council will study it and it will be sent on to the MTC planners. ***** Councillors expressed concern for the welfare of elderly residents of Queen’s Villa, the senior citizens apartments. Council had earlier heard a complaint from an inter ested citizen that rowdy tenants were making life unbearable for some of the long time residents of the Villa (the residence is no longer restricted to seniors). Councillors had talked to some of the residents and asked them to write down their complaints but a threat of legal action had been made by a lawyer forthe tenants who were the object ofthecomplaintsandthatseemd to have intimidated residents so that none has sent a letter. Council agreed it wanted to let Ontario Housing officials know that it was on the side of the elderly tenants. 1987 Chev Pick-up, heavy duty 1986 GMC 1/2 ton 1986 Pontiac Bonneville, 4 door [2 to choose froml 1985 Pontiac Bonneville L.E., 4 door 1985 Dodge Aires wagon witi air 1985 Chevette, 4 dr. 1984 Olds Delta88 Brougham, 4 door 1984 Pontiac, 4 door station wagon 1983 Cougar L.S. 2 dr., air HAMM’S CAR SALES Blyth •Gas Pumps ’Repairs to most makes and models 523-4342 Selling is easy when the food looks this good Sarah Rouw [left] and Jennifer Stadelmann found out when the Blyth Guides and Brownies held a bake sale in the Blyth Library Saturday morning.

Also a trained reflexologist, Mrs. Cardiff came to work with Mrs. Klaus basically in the practice of the science, only helping at the cafe when it becomes hectic. Although both women are ardent believes in the value of the therapies they dispense, neither one is blatent in the presentation of their crafts. "Whenever somebody asks me if I can do anything for them, I tell them to try one treatment and see,’’ Mrs. Klaus says. ‘‘If it doesn't work for them, they don’t have to continue, but they haven’t lost anything, either.” The Walton cafe is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., but closed weekends.
