Tire cc -ordinator told council some of the diffi; ulties arising in setting up plans due to lack of available funds. VISITS COUNCIL Captain Albert Ferris of the Salvation Army, Wingham Corps, attended council and was welcomed to the commu- nity by Nlavor Hetherington. A brief discussion was held in re- gard to the sidewalk in front of the new citadel. Council also approved a grant of 5100 for the Army's local welfare Program. REPORT DELAYED Reeve J. Roy Adair said that the centennial committee had met but suggested the re- port could be delayed as the deadline for approval of grants by the government has been postponed until November, which w 11 ;wive time for f u r - tller study. BRIDGE sTI'PY A letter from the Pepart- nient of EEigliways requested a meeting of council with depart- ment engineer's next Niondav at 7 <rt p. in. to discuss the NIcKen.;ie Bridge and the High- way rl; hy.-pass. Mayor Heth- erington said he would like to have all councillors on hand for the meeting. A letter from the Depart- ment of Municipal Affairs was read which gave tentative ap- proval to a subdivision plan sent in by Thomas Henderson. It outlined the various regula- tions in regard to the plan. W'A'TER SAFETY Councillor Bennett requested information regarding the pur- ity of the water at the swim- ming area. Clerk Wm, Ren- wick explained that the water is tested weekly. Councillor Bennett pointed out that the sewage ford pump near the ar- ea broke down recently and created a hazard. The clerk said that, as a result, the pump is being inspected daily and in case of trouble the pool super- visor will be notified immedi- ately. The mayor told council that changes in the Planning Act, if brought into force, will create difficulties for the local Plan- ning Board. The changes will remove the power of the local board to approve lot sales unless! a committee of consent is set up. This latter committee cannot function unless there is an official plan of the munici- pality, which in the case of Wingham and the surrounding townships is unpractical. As a result if the new legislation comes into force it will mean NOTICE TO DESTROY NOXIOUS WEEDS NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN TO PROPERTY OWNERS IN URBAN AND SUBDIVIDED AREAS TO DE- STROY ALL NOXIOUS WEEDS .N S OFTEN AS NECESSARY IN EACH SEASON, TO PREVENT THEIR GO- ING TO SEED. Also, after July 25, 1964, proceed- ings will be taken to destroy Noxious Weeds in accordance with the Weed Control Act.

He pointed out, however, that the legislation has not been pro- claimed and is meeting with considerable resistance by mu- nicipalities across the province with the result that the suggest- ed changes may not become law. COMMITTEES On the recommendation of Councillor Warren Callancoun- cil agreed to purchase a new typewriter for the clerk's office and have his old machine plac- ed in the police office. A discussion of requests by ratepayers for sidewalk imp, provement ended when it was pointed out by Reeve Adair that money for this purpose is not in the budget. Councillor Callan said he feels it is time that an annual program for sidewalk re- pair is established. Council agreed to a proper- ty trade with Harley Crawford which involves small parcels of land west and north of his Min- nie Street lots along the River- side Park area. The Mayor was also authorized to sign the deeds for land purchased by McClure Motors from the town. The by-law to close Cecil Street, a short, unused right- of-way in the Berry subdivision, was read and passed. Councillor Bennett reported on a number of complaints in regard to the operation of the cemetery. As a result council passed a motion to the effect that before bodies are removed from the mortuary and interred, the families of the deceased will be notified. Councillor Bennett said she had also had complaints about flowers being removed and not returned to the proper location. She said it appears that while the ceme- tery is well looked after, there is a certain amount of careless- ness in the caretaking. She al- so reported on several welfare cases. Two building permits were approved and a motion was passed naming August 3rd, ci- vic holiday. ' I 1 and ANNOUNCEMENTS W INGHAM it2e tit MOTES last week with her mother, Mrs. W. W.

NO DENTIST NEEDED Sharks and rays have their teeth arranged in series in the tissues overlying the jaws. When a tooth is lost, the one imme- diately behind moves forward to take its place. Thus, there is a continual succession of teeth. Some of these fish have teeth on the palate and on the tongue and some even have teeth in the throat, UNDUE INFLUENCE This is a legal term fre- quently used in suits over wills and legacies. "Undue influ• ence" is exerted when the tes- tator is persuaded unnaturally to make a will in favor of someone other than the natural heirs. If undue influence is proved, the court will set a will aside or allow compensa- tion. PERSONAL PENSION POLICIES ASSURE COMFORTABLE RETIREMENT Consult — Frank C. Hopper •— REPRESENTATIVE — Canada Life WINGHAM, ONT. PHONE 357-2452 MR. BUSINESSMAN Does Summer Slow -down give you the SHAKES?/ -,00,\\ t4 v SUMMER SLOWDOWN IS BAD ENOUGH BUT IF YOU OPERATE AN AVERAGE BUSINESS YOU ARE ALSO LOSING 3 OUT OF 10 CUSTOMERS EVERY YEAR . . . AND THIRTY PERCENT OF YOUR BUSINESS GOES WITH THEM. Why Do You Lose Them? Through death, hard feelings, moving to another community or through the efforts of hard -driving competitors . . . a variety of reasons, some of them beyond your control. AT THE SAME TIME THERE'S A NORMAL BUSINESS INCREASE OF ONLY 4% PER YEAR. That leaves you facing a 26% handicap each year ... a handicap you must overcome if your business is to remain healthy and profitable. What To Do About It The answer lies in better merchandising, better planning, more vigorous pro- motion of fast selling goods and service. The surest, most profitable method of .sales promotion is consistent, timely advertising in The Wingham Advance -Times. REMEMBER . . . newspaper advertising is an investment, not an expense and is the sure fire way to LOW COST SALES IMPACT.
