Friends, relatives and neigh

Archie and Edna Montgomery at
273 Drummond St. in Blyth Sunday
to help commemorate the couple’s
golden anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery were
married 50 years ago December 7,

Reverend Weeks. After the cere
mony they travelled back to the
bride’s parents’ home to enjoy a
goose supper.
Mrs. Montgomery remembers,

Morris wants sidewalks
in hwy. improvements
Morris township has asked the
Ministry of Transportation to in
clude Belgrave sidewalks in its
plans for the rebuilding of Highway
4.
At its Nov. 21 meeting, council
agreed to notify the MTO that it
wished to see sidewalks included
from the United Co-operatives
building to Parker Drive when the
highway is rebuilt in 1992. Council
agreed it would pay for the portion
of costs not currently in the MTO
plans, an estimated $23,000.
In other business council agreed
to enter into an agreement with
Don Carter of Carter Waste Dispo
sal of Wingham to pick up the glass
from the township landfill site. Mr.
Carter will pick up the glass for free
and receive the $12 per ton
payment from the buyers of the
glass, a company in Mount Forest.

After their marriage the couple
lived with the bride’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Bert Jackson on the sixth
of Morris. (It is now David Wesse-
link’sfarm). Mr. Montgomery was
employed as a trucker then later in
1952 he became a coal man.
Through this time, Mrs. Mont
gomery was a housekeeper.
Mr. Montgomery retired in 1975.
They moved to their present home
in 1976.
Council postponed action on the
request of David Webster to have
part of his farm annexed into the
township from Blyth since Blyth
has not sent any correspondence
regarding its feelings in the matter.
Isabel Wheeler informed council
that she was willing to sit as the
township representative on the
Wingham and District Hospital
Board. The resignation of William
Turnbull as the township represen
tative on the Brussels Medical
Centre Board was accepted and
Betty Graber was appointed for a
three-year term.

The East Wawanosh History
Book Committee has extended its
deadline for accepting material for
its upcoming volume to January 10,
1990.
“We already have in more than
200 family and farm histories, but
we want to make sure that nobody
is left out of this once-in-a-lifetime
book,” said editor Toby Rainey.
She added that there are close to
350 families in the township at
present, and that material has also
been pouring in from former resi
dents or their descendents.
“Some of our more recent resi
dents may feel they are not part of
the township’s history and are
holding back for that reason,” said
committee member Adrian Vos,
“but we urge them to get their
stories in, too; everybody here is
part of our history.”
Most people submitting material
have included family and farm
•photographs, Ms. Rainey said, but
added there is also an urgent need
for other photos as well, depicting
East Wawanosh life and events
right up to the present.
People are also being asked to
submit high-quality color slides of
township people, places, events
and activities for possible inclusion
in a special four-page color section
of the book.
Slides must be 35 mm. or larger,
and all photographs and other
material will be returned once the
history is completed.
With the new deadline, material
may be submitted until the commit
tee’s next meeting, which will be
held at 1:30 p.m. on January 10 at
