Joan Armstrong. ,,
Armstrong responded that an her 21
years as clerk, she had never encountered
such a situation before. She said she
"overlooked" the need for a motion to ac-
cept the resignation of a reeve,
6I never knew anything about this. I
should have halted the meeting and went
to the (Municipal) Act," she said,
While asking questions of Aitchison,
Todd asked him to • comment on specula-
tion that the township "hadn't had proper
.representation on county council" and that
he would "answer roll call and leave"
before the end of the meeting.
Calling the allegations "just plain dirt"
Aitchison said, on some occasions in: the
past, he would leave the county council
meeting 20 minutes early in order to get
home to drive his school bus. He said this
was only the case if the "agenda was
short". However, in the past two years, he
discontinued this practice, saying; "I•
didn't think it was the right thing to do".
Verbal attack
In the midst of the questions directed at
the reeve, Councillor Rhea Hamiltoh
Seeger took exception to the verbal attack
on Aitchison, saying the situation would
not have occurred if council had followed
through on their agreement to p'µt.him oil
council as a councillor.
"The gentlemanly ti ling to do was to put
Jim iaa as a councillor and we wouldn't be
having these ridiculous meetings. You're
accusing Jim that his word's no good.
When we didn't put him in as councillor,
our word's no good either," she said,
Deputy Reeve Bruce Baynard also ques-
tioned Aitchison's timing in declaring a
procedural error which resulted in the m -
valid nomination meeting, He said Ait-
chison waited until after the nomination
meeting and Kathy Todd's subsequent ap-
pointment to cry foul on the procedures.
"Nothing was said until after she was
signed in." said Maynard,
According to Clerk Joan Armstrong, Ait-
chison was not in agreement with the pro-
cedures because a "verbal agreement",
allowing him to step down as reeve but re-
main on council which was struck at the
September 2 meeting, was not followed.
"When we left the meeting on September
2, Jim was going back on as councillor,
there's no question about that... He didn't
think you'd.stab him in the back.
"Jinn accepted that fact (that Kathy
Todd had been appointed councillor) but
he objected to some of the proceduresof
the last meeting. He said, 'I'm calling my
solicitors and you'll be hearing from
me,'"said Armstrong:

Plans are . underway for the second
annual walk-a-dog-athon. It will be held
Sunday, October 5 and is sponsored by
Lions clubs in the district.
An orientation meeting was held Last
Thursday evening for Lions Club members
from the 3 -North District, "including Tiver-
ton, Teeswater, Brussels, Mildmay, Form
osa, Lucknow, Wingham and Kincardine.
A number -of details were gone over at
the meeting and those' present viewed a
videotape about the new Canine Vision
Canada School at Oakville.
The Oakville school is the only one of its
kind in Canada. It trains guide dogs for the
blind and is funded through Lions clubs
across the province and the country with no
cost involved' to the vision -impaired
person.
Walk-a•dog•athons are one way Lions
clubs raise funds for the school.
The first local walk-a-dog-athon was held
last year at Winghant for centres in the
SPECIAL
3 -North District. A total of $5,000 was
raised, but organizers hope to double that
amount _ this , year through pledges and
donations.
A total of $23,000 was raised in the A-9
District last year, but District Chairman
Grant _Chisholm of =Lucknow has •said he
hopes to raise $75,000 this year.
Fred McGee of Winghatn is chairman for
this immediate district, while Mr. Chis-
holm is over-all walkaa.'dog-athon chairman
for District A-9. Any questions should be
directed to either of these gentlemen.
More details will be forthcoming at a
later date.
