Blyth Council briefs
Horticulturalists get praise
Blyth Village councillors praised
the work of the Blyth Horticultural
Society as they approved a grant to
the Society at the June 25 meeting
of council.
Council approved a grant of $500
to the Society to help it maintain
various flower gardens and planters
around the village. "If we had to do
what they do it would cost us a lot
more (than $500)" Councillor Dave
Lee said.
"It's a real asset to the village",
Councillor Steve Sparling said
pointing out the Society's gardens
at the edge of town help set off the
entrance signs to the village.
***
Councillors said they had
received very good feed-back from
residents about the new entrance
signs. Helen Grubb, village clerk
treasurer, said a lol of people have
been coming into the village office
and commenting and "they're just
so impressed". There had also been
many compliments on the tidiness
and general appearance of the vil
lage, she said.
The village recently completed
erection of a new masonry entrance
sign at the north end of the village
on Highway 4 to match the one that
has been at the south end of the vil
lage for several years. Large new
sign-boards have also been
installed on both.
Councillors learned that the
installation of simpler entrance
signs on County Rd. 25 at the east
and west of the village was expect
ed to be completed soon and work
is expected soon on signs to adver
tise what service clubs and organi
zations were in the village.♦**
Council is hoping for quick
approval to expand the current area
at the landfill site west. Test holes
had earlier been dug to monitor
leaking from the landfill site. Reeve
Albert Wasson noted that council
would like to be able to dig to the
west rather than have to start piling
up garbage above the ground level

"When Morning Gilds the Skies"
was sung.
Responsive reading of Psalm 37,
1-4 look place. The scripture read
ing was from Luke 9: verses 57-62
t and the hymn "O Jesus I have
Promised" was sung.
Rev. Ramirez' story to the chil-
dren was about how a clock works
to tell the time.
The choral anthem "Now I
Belong to Jesus" was very inspir
ing. Rev. Ramirez' sermon was
"Following Christ and doing what
we arc assigned to do".

where current activity is taking
place. Now is the time for the Min
istry of the Environment to help
out, the Reeve said. "We've done
everything humanly possible to do
their bidding. Now is the lime to
ask them to help us (by speeding up
approval)".♦**
Council expressed interest but
took no action regarding a letter
from Toronto resident Ross
Snetsinger regarding the use of
abandoned railways. Mr.
Snetsinger had written to the town
of Palmerston, with copies to Blyth
and other communities, promoting
the idea of a steam tourist train
being set up which could link many
communities, including the Strat
ford and Blyth Festivals.
He also expressed his pleasure
that the old CP Rail water lank is
still in existence in Blyth. Council
lors expressed their hope that in the
coming years they'll be able to find
a way to spruce up the old tank
(behind Bainton's) to make it a
landmark in the village.♦♦♦
It was one of the shortest council
session in recent memory. Council
moved into committee of the whole
to clarify a motion from a closed
session at the end of the June 12
meeting of council.
The next meeting will be July 17
with only one meeting scheduled in
July.
