Under correspondence, a letter from the Turnberry Cen- tral School Area wasread which backed the idea presented at couneil in December, to have the telephone companies dis- pense with toll rates in the sur- rounding area. Councillor Callan said that a Bell Telephone representative had explained that Wingham is surrounded by private compan- ies, therefore it would be nec- essary to reach agreements with all of thein to make the scheme work. He went on to say that regular rates would be increas- J.G.A. BEEF BONANZA FOR YOUR EATING PLEASURE TABLE RITE RED BRAND STEAKS0R ROASTS SIRLOIN, ROUND, WING OR RIB LEAN u69G MINCED BEEF LB.

COMMITTEE REPORTS Councillor Wild, reporting for the public works committee, said the new truck required re- pairs after the vehicle's frame was bent from snowplowing op- erations, It has since been rein- forced. Some discussion follow- ed, Councillor Callan stating this was to have been done when the truck was purchased. Reeve Kerr said plowing is hard on the frame of any truck and it would likely be bent again at some time. This problem led to a recom- mendation from Councillor Wild that the present "V" plow be changed to a one-way plow, It was indicated that the latter type would save about one- third of the time necessary for normal plowing operations. Council was in agreement when it was learned that a new plow would cost about $1, 000. Ten- ders will be called for its pur- chase. Councillor Wild also presen- ted a number of problems in connection with the arena. He said some of the brine pipes in the compressor room are leak- ing and the Arena Commission hopes they will hold out until the end of the present season, at which time they will have to be replaced. CRITICISE CARETAKING Caretaking at the arena came up, several councillors expressing the opinion that it could be better. Councillor Wild said it was not the fault of the arena manager, since no proper cleaning equipment has been purchased. Councillor Bateson advised the councillors to visit the arena more fre- quently and they will know more about what is going on. Reeve Kerr wanted to know why the floors were not sealed under the contract when the building was put up. Councillor Wild said he could not answer the question but the work was being done by the Arena Commission this year. Reeve Kerr wanted to know who dumped large quantities of snow onto the back of the arena property around the com- pressor building. Councillor Wild said he did not know who did it, but it appeared to come from surrounding private pro- perty. Mayor Miller said the people in question should be told by the police to desist. The town crews had to haul it away. OWING PROGRAM An argument broke out when Councillor Moszkowski said that the priority of streets being plowed should be changed. He felt the streets leading to the factories should be plowed first, and then the streets leading to the schools. Councillor Callan said "You shouldn't change priority every time there is a new council." Councillor Cruicksl.ank said that he agreed with Councillor Moszkowski for he believed people go to work before the school busses arrive in town. Ile felt that the route to the hospital should be done first, with which Councillor Moszkowski agreed. Councillor Callan then admitted that per- haps it could be done, but still felt the system was pretty good at the present time. The sub- ject was left with the public works committee to resolve. Councillor Wild noted a num- ber umber of financial problems at the arena, He said that reven- ues are barely enough to cover operating costs, He asked if council wanted to use up the $3,900 in the building account. This was discussed, council apparently of the opinion that the $3, 900 should be turned back to the town's general ac- count and that .accounts which the arena commission cannot cover would be met out of gen- eral revenue. Councillor Kerr, speaking for the property committee, said that representatives from Canada Packers had been in town to investigate the town shed which was offered to them in place of property to the east of Josephine Street. He was asked by Councillor Cruick- shank if any plans are being made to paint the council chambers. Deputy -Reeve Alex- ander said the auditorium is a mess, and should either be cleaned up or closed. After further discussion council de- cided to leave the matter with the committee to bring back a suggested course of action in connection with a general over- haul of the town hall. A special meeting of the fi- nance committee was called for this coming Friday to meet with a representative of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System. The next council meeting will be on March 8th the mayor said, ra- ther than on the first of the month, A number of routine by-laws were passed covering highway subsidies and other matters. A request from the Orange Lodge to hold a 12th of July parade in Wingham, was granted. Reeve Kerr and Deputy Reeve Alexander reported on the January session of County Council, and said they were disappointed in the results of the voting in regard to the building of another section of Huronview at Clinton. Mr. Alex- ander said it was a very close vote and had been brought on too fast. Reeve Kerr expressed the opinion that the plan had been railroaded through council. Mayor Miller said he hoped it was not too late to have the verdict changed. Reeve Kerr said the voting to have the building in either the north or south of the county failed be- cause of lack of support from several reeves of municipalities in the northern section of the county. Centennial Project Will Proceed with Picnic Pavillion Town council on Monday evening told the centennial committee, headed by Council- lor Cruickshank, to proceed with the necessary arrangements to have a picnic pavillion built at the Riverside Park as a cen- tennial project. Councillor Cruickshank ex- plained to council that thecom- mittee had a number of meet- ings last year and recommended that a picnic pavillion be the town's project. However, in late October council decided to apply for renovations to the arena as an alternative scheme. Word was received in January from the Centennial Projects Committee in Toronto that the arena plan did not fall into a category covered by the terms of reference of the Act. He went on to say that in review- ing the subject the local com- mittee felt further meetings would be useless and that it would stand by its original re- commendation. He said the pavillion seemed to be a pro- ject that could be built within the budget as stipulated by council. The building will cost about Group Starts on Copper Tooling BELGRAVE- The C, G. I.

Will Raise Speed Limit Meeting in the council chambers on Monday evening the Wingltatn Council OK'd a report from the Department of )lighways that the speed limit from the intersection of Scott Street and No. 4 Highway, south to the intersection of No. 4 and 86 tfighways, be increas- ed from 30 utiles per hour to 45 utiles per hour, TIu report from the depart- ment followed a hidden radar survey of traffic last summer. It stated that traffic in the arca under question was normally flowing at over 30 miles per hour, and that the speed limit was unenforceable, The report also indicated that a similar procedure should be taken on the stretch of high- way north of the intersection of the 13 -Line and 4o. 4 high- way. Several councillors expres- sed the opinion that the change would be sensible as the high- way was unobstructed and was not in a built-up area. $8,500 of which some $2.00 per capita will be received in grants from the federal and provincial governments. The committee will now in- vestigate plans and costing, in an effort to make a presentation to council so that the necessary by-laws can be passed and a new application sent to the pro- vincial committee. 711 Advance -Times, Thursday, February 4,1965 - ing am dv Page i Kinsmen Choose Monday Meetings Members of the local Kins- men Club met at Danny's Res- taurant on Monday evening and discussed proposed plans for changing the night of meeting, However, after a long discus- sion a vote was taken and it was decided to leave the Mon- day date unchanged. The club members also dis- cussed at length a number of ideas for fund raising. While the various plans covered a wide scope of activities, no decision was reached at the meeting as to what procedures to follow, Past -president Matt Boyd re- minded the club that the next meeting will be a specialevent, on Tuesday, February 16th. In this case the date had been mo- ved to make arrangements for a TV appearance by a number of visiting Kinsmen who will be in attendance to mark the anniversary of Kinsmen as well as civic and press night. He said that it is expected delegates from 18 clubs will be on hand for the meeting as well as Ian Belton, deputy governor, of Meaford, and Zone 1 Gover- nor, Mait Edgar of Clinton. Sandy Baird of Kitchener will be the guest speaker. A number of local dignitaries will also be guests of the club that evening.

Kin Murray Stainton said that the Kin -spon- sored bantam hockey team, which he is coaching, is doing well in playoffs and remarked ors the good behaviour of the boys. He said he is proud of the team. Earlier the club moved to sponsor past president Murray Gerrie as candidate for deputy governor of Zone B, but Mr, Gerrie told the club he regret, ted that he would have to de- cline the offer. Jack Hodgins was welcomed by the club as the newly -elect- ed first vice-president.
