Bible Blyth Council looks at relocating industrial park When Blyth Village Council opens its five-year revision of the official plan in the next few weeks, one of the things it will look at is relocation of the village’s industrial park. Council was in the midst of discussing a land swap with a local company to gain a new street access to the land currently desig­ nated for industrial use in the east end of the village of Dinsley Street when Councillor Dave Lee ques­ tioned the sense of having the industrial park in that location. He pointed out that it would be expensive to put large water and sewerage systems into this loca­ tion, so far from both the sewage plant and the pumphouse. Why not, he wondered, designate an area of North Street right next to the sewage plant and closer to the water supply? Reeve Albert Wasson said he felt the area currently designated for industrial development was likely the proper size for the village and pointed to easier access to County Road 25 although this would have to be through land in Morris township. Councillor Ken Brown observed that at least people in the east end should know that they are near land Auburn native for provincial Lisa Boonstoppel, Huron County’s Dairy Princess, will be travelling to the CNE this Thursday to compete for the title of Ontario Dairy Princess. The 20-year-old Auburn area native, who won the Huron County Dairy Princess title last October, will participate in the event along with 40 representatives from most of the provincial counties. The winner of the provincial competition will represent the Ontario Milk Marketing Board as a public relations figure This is a paid full-time job that lasts for a period of one year unlike the county level when the representative is non-paid and works on her own time. The contestant, who must be single, will have a car for one year CFCA radio Kitchener. He told of all facts of radio and his speech was thoroughly enjoyed by all. He was introduced by Marjory Lingelback and thanked by Marjory Maloney. The minutes were read and adopted. A hymn-sing followed, led by Ken Lingelback with Reta Crittenden on piano. The Ginton Club was thanked by Chas Pickers- gill, secretary and Betty Wilhelm, vice president of the Stratford Club. The collection was taken up and the meeting adjourned. Study is on Thursday, Aug. 24 at 1:30 p.m. at Gail Dobbies in Auburn. Sunday School beings again on September 10. The ser­ mon was “I am the Light of the World; Part I - The ‘I Am’ sayings of Jesus”. The Congregational Life and Work Committee will meet on Tuesday, Aug. 29 at 8 p.m. at the Church. designated to industry while people in the North end think they are in a residential area. Reeve Wasson agreed with coun­ cillor Lee, however, that extension of services is a growing problem not just for industrial land but also for residential land. It costs about $12,000 to service a lot, he said “and we’ve (people in Blyth) been selling lots for $8,000.” Meanwhile council will meet with George Hubbard of G. L. Hubbard Rutabagas to see about opening up the land in the indus­ trial park behind his operation and officially closing Ann Street which runs through the middle of his building. Reeve Wasson pointed out that all the paperwork in the office shows that an earlier council had planned to officially close the street years ago but it never got done. Mr. Hubbard, the Reeve said, bought the land believing the street had been closed and the land was his. Mr. Hubbard has agreed to give the village some land to the east or the west of his property for access to the industrial land but the question of who will pay the costs remains unsettled. Council will set up a meeting with Mr. Hubbard in the future to discuss the problem. competes title in addition to winning many of other valuable prizes. There will be three days of preliminarys at the CNE and Miss Boonstoppel will be on the first day. An interview is conducted in the morning followed by a milking demonstration for public enjoy­ ment in the afternoon. In the evening each contestant will be required to say one of the six speeches they have written on selected topics. These will be randomly chosen. Miss Boonstoppel is the daugh­ ter of Hans and Audrey Boon­ stoppel of RR 1, Auburn. Her last official duty as the Huron County Dairy Princess will be the crowning of the new princess in October, at the competition which is to be held in Blyth this year. Reg. and Helen Lawson returned on Thursday from a three-week holiday to Western Canada travell­ ing as far as Union Bay, on Vancouver Island. Visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Reg Lawson and Elizabeth on Sunday were Mrs. Lillian Turner, God­ erich; Miss Marilyn Turner, Toron­ to; Mr. and Mrs. George Turner, Tuckersmith; Barry Turner, Mon­ treal; Miss Anne Fernley, Dorval, Blyth Council briefs Blyth historical quilt comes home An historic quilt will find a home in Blyth Memorial Hall, Blyth council decided Friday night. The quilt, which dates from the early part of the century, contains the signatures of many Blyth residents of the era. The quilt was apparently raffled off to raise money, was won by a bachelor who took it to western Canada with him. When he died his sisters offered it back to Blyth if a home could be found. Council voted to build a display case for the quilt in the Hall. ***** Concern with continuing pro­ blems with disorderly conduct at the Blyth and District Community Centre was brought before council. Councillor Dave Lee said that the Ontario Provincial Police complain about the problems at the centre but when they’re called, they refuse to get involved. Attempts to hire off-duty officers to police the premises have also failed, he said. Reeve Albert Wasson said part of the problem is the size of the groups at such events these days. “They come by the hundred,” he said. Still, he said, he’s tired of dealing with the complaints and as far as he’s concerned it’s up to the community centre board to deal Name Address Postal Code THE CITIZEN Box 152, Box 429, Brussels, Ont.

Hope Chapel Cemetery Memor­ ial and Decoration service on Sunday, August 27 at 3 o’clock with Paster James Came as guest speaker. Sheila Bylsma, daughter of Chris and Auke Bylmsa received first class honours on her recent Grade 2 with the problem. If the problem ends up before council, then it should take action. “If the problem becomes ours and it’s up to me, I’d bring in the OPP and sit them down and get answers,” he said in frustration. Helen Grubb, clerk-treasurer said it had been suggested that the new camping facilities and ball park improvements might mean more ball tournaments and such with more potential problems. There need to be rules set down before more people start to use the facilities, she said. Councillor Lee suggested it was one more reason why agreements should be signed with groups renting the facilities. “If the group is to provide security they’re the ones that are responsible,” he said. Councillor Steven Sparling said that it is really easy to tarnish the image of a little town by it getting the reputation it’s a good place to go and get drunk. ***** Councillor Ken Brown of the recreation committee, praised the work of Michelle Cronin, Sandra Howson and Krista Lawrie in running the summer recreation program. “I feel they did a great I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Theory Exam of the Royal Conser­ vatory of Music.

Mrs. Grubl asked council’s wishes about buy ing more decorations for main street lamp posts. Council agreed to let her add to the best of the current decorations to eventually develop a theme for main street decoration. ***** Although Blyth voters approved the selling of beer, wine and spirits in a retail store in last fall’s municipal election, the village seems no closer to getting such a store, council was told. Mrs. Grubb explained that Rick Aylsworth had been trying to negotiate with the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario (LCBO) for a store in the north end of Blyth but with no success. The LCBO has been very unco-opera- tive, she said. We will send The Citizen to students who are away from home for the school year.
