Blnth council briefs Blyth Village Council is negotiat­ ing with a landowner to allow the village to put up a new entrance sign at the north end of the village this summer. The councillors agreed the best location for the sign would be at the north edge of the village along Highway 4. Reeve Albert Wasson said he had had preliminary discus­ sions with the property owner in question who seemed very co-oper­ ative. He wanted to get council's feelings as to where the sign should go before proceeding further with discussions.***** A by-law was passed by council setting out a fire route at the Blyth and District Community Centre and authorizing the enforcement of the fire route by village officials. Another by-law passed set out Bd. debates Jr. Kindergarten Continued from page 1 ferred to other school boards saying that Huron is not the only one holding back on the decision. “No one is saying we won't keep abreast of things, but the money and the room just isn’t there. And I have grave concerns for the child­ ren’s safety.’’ Another trustee opposing the motion was Rick Rompf the chair­ man of the management commit­ tee, who said he was concerned that the board members were going to tie their hands if they passed the recommendation. Also, he added, there hasn’t been enough commun­ ity response. After a comment from trustee Norm Wilson suggesting that the board perhaps need only re-empha­ size its intent, the motion on the floor was defeated and another recommendation was made by trustee Tony McQuail. In a close vote the board agreed to write a letter to the Minister of Education and the Treasurer confirming the board’s position on JK and identi­ fying its inability to place any further financial burden on the taxpayers. The letter also listed the trustees concerns over safety of junior kindergarten riding buses and accommodation for the addi­ tional classes. Chair Van den Broeck assured the board that the issue would continue to be monitored and information passed on to them to keep them apprised of the situa­ tion. Sign location sought school bus loading zones in the village. ***** Blyth Festival Building Chair­ man Don McCaffrey praised the prompt action by Blyth firemen which helped prevent more dam­ age Feb. 16 when a sprinkler head went off in the Festival’s box office area. Damage was kept to a minimum, Mr. McCaffrey said, wetting the rug and marking the baseboard. He said investigation is still underway as to why the sprinkler went off when there was no fire.***** Councillor Lorna Fraser said she had received a good deal of positive feedback about the possibility of Blyth listening to a representative from Bluewater Recycling at a The Sweetest Buy in Town!

Councillor Dave Lee, one of two councillors on the Centre board, said the new benches had been installed earlier in the week. ***** Councillors are concerned over the electricity bills at Memorial Hall. Council was told the bill for January was $2,000 and the bill for February, $3,000. Councillors also expressed concern over construc­ tion materials that are still piled behind the hall and asked that the town works crew remove them.

To learn about flight. The four principles of flight are: Drag, Gravity, Thrust and Lift. On Tuesday, February 19, the grade fives were divided into groups of four or five. There were four stations, each with an experi­ ment on one of the principles. They worked with fans to learn how air circulates. For example, the fan blew air on a little toy wagon with wheels and they watched the wagon being forced forward by the air from the fan. They experimented with an um­ brella to see how drag affects flights. They blew across sheets of paper to see how air pressure affects lift. They saw how gravity pulls things down. They made a simple paper airplane, then they had to make harder airplanes where they had to follow instructions. In the gym, they flew the paper planes. They added or changed variable such as weight, rudders, ailerons and elevators to see what would happen. They charted their observations and conclusions and discussed their results in class.
