The subjectwasopened when Town Foreman Merv Ritchie asked if the councillors had considered some better and safer equipment for sanding streets. Currently one town workman drives the truck while another stands in the back of the truck shovelling sand into the spreader behind the truck. Mr. Ritchie and Reeve Albert Wasson had looked "at some equipment at a trade show but it hadn’t gone farther than that, Reeve Wasson said. It was Councillor Bill Manning who opened up the dicussion when he said he thought the village was sanding and salting far too much. He said he didn’t think streets needed to be sanded unless there was an ice storm. Councillor Bill Howson said he didn’t believe in doing a lot of sanding either unless there were dangerous conditions. If the streets are sanded too much even when they don’t need to be people come to expect it and then, if for some reason crews couldn't get to their sanding duties for several hours, people would be caught unaware and could put themselves in danger. Town works employee John Rinn wondered what the legal position of the town was if someone fell on an unsanded street. Councillor Manning worried about salt and sand damage to boulevards and trees. After Coun cillor Howson asked how many days town crews had to salt and sand last year he was told that last yeartherewasmore salting and sanding to be done than plowing because of the nature of the mild weather. Inanswertoaquestion he said that eight or nine tons of salt were spread on Blyth streets last year. The matter of getting more equipment was put aside until more information on equipment was available. Helen Grubb, vill age clerk-treasurer suggested the village might like to look at some inexpensive home-made equip ment in Teeswater. More research will be done on the need for more equipment.

Horticultural Society holds Christmas meeting A bountiful pot luck supper opened the Horticultural meeting in the Brussels library on the evening of Nov. 9 when members and guests assembled to enjoy the Christmas festivities in nicely decorated surroundings. Grace was sung with Mrs. Alice Brothers at the piano after which the president, Mrs. Jane White, gave a warm welcome to all in attendance. A lively sing song led by Mrs. Wilma Hemingway was followed by the secretary’s and treasurer’s reports and the roll call answered by a favourite Christmas carol.

This was seconded by Mrs. Doris McCall. Mrs. Alvin McWhirter and Mr. Ross Patter son were hired to prepare the flower beds for winter and replant the bulbs.
