The by-law received tentative ap- proval. Other street signs and stop signs came up for discussion, with Councillor Alan Williams suggesting that the utility poles at intersections on the north side of John Street should be marked with fluorescent paint, as they are a hazard. Council agreed that something along this line should be done. The matter was left with the public works committee. Councillor Williams also pointed out that with the im- Mr. and Mrs. Percy Stainton and Mr. and Mrs. Archie Blair of Teeswater. provements taking place on Edward Street the town should consider moving, or at least the painting, of the weigh scales. This prompted a dis- cussion without a definite de- cision being reached by coun- cil, SHOULD PAINT ARENA Councillor Nasmith asked what happened to the plans for painting the new front on the arena. He said council had approved the work, but nothing had been done so far. The councillor went on to say it was a bad mistake to not have the job done, as it is the first thing people see on arrival in town from the east and the new building is pretty drab and could be improved with a paint job. Mayor Hetherington said that council expressed its opinion earlier and approved the work. "It is the job of the committee to see that it is done", he concluded. Speaking for the fire com- mittee, Councillor Len Craw- ford said that a meeting with the four townships comprising the Wingham Rural Fire Area has been set for October 21st to discuss suggested plans for the purchase of a water tank truck to serve the area, The mayor said that ameet- ing has been set for November 12th with representatives of Wingham, Turnberry, Morris and past Wawanosh Townships to discuss the suggested eniarg- xnentof the Wingham--Turnberry Planning Board to include both Morris and East Wawanosh.

M Calves weighing at least 80 lbs. at birth give best results, lighter calves require a longer feeding period, but can be just as profitable. M For maximum gains, veal calves should be marketed at about 225 lbs. to 250 lbs. and fed for a period of 9-11 weeks, depending on the starting weight of the calf.

Mr. McDonald and his wife, Jean, who will also work in the business, have purchased a home on Shuter St. from Mrs. George Ross. The couple have two children, Larry 13, and Jeanette 10, who are both in public school. The children and Mr. McDonald's mother, Mrs. W. T. McDonald, will move to Wingham at the endof the month. The family are members of the United Church, and are interested in curling, golfing and ball, Mr. McDonald stated that his plans call for an expansion of lines in the store, particular- ly in the infants' and children's wear department as well as ladies' clothing. The McDonalds are quite well-known in Wingham from their previous sojourn here, however, they both have ex- pressed the feeling that in com- ing back, they are coming 'home'.
