Blyth council hold open house
Blyth Council will move its Oct.
meeting from Oct. 9 to Oct. 2 to be
part of Local Government Week in
Ontario.
Councillors agreed at their Sept.
11 meeting to change the date of
the meeting and advertise the meet
ing as an "open house" so that resi
dents can come and watch council
in action.
If too many members of the pub
lic accept the invitation the meeting
may have to be moved since coun
cil decided to hold the meeting in
the council chambers where all reg
ular open meetings of council are
held and where there is little room
for visitors. The meeting begins at
7:30 p.m.
the problems fixed and then council
would look at the situation. He felt
council should be willing to pay for
helping to make sure the system
worked as far as Memorial Hall
was concerned but didn't feel the
village should help pay for work
necessitated by improvements to
the Festival's own building.♦♦♦
A letter was received from Al
Sygrove, principal of Blyth Public
School, acknowledging the co
operative spirit of the summer

rowed equipment from the school
for its activities and the village, in
tum, donated money to the school
for use in replacing any damaged
recreational equipment or buying
more.

Councillors indicated they still
weren't happy with paying the bill
for bringing in an outside firm to
look over the healing and cooling
system at Blyth Memorial Hall.
Council had earlier received a letter
from Joel Harris, general manager
of the Blyth Festival, asking that
council pay half of the bill of over
$4000 to the work.
But Councillor Dave Lee said the
problems found in the inspection
"seem to be just the tip of the ice
berg. There seem to be a lot of.
things wrong." He said he had
thought the council had indicated
the Festival was supposed to get all
at arena this weekend.
The Blyth and District Commu
nity Centre Board is hosting its first
Toy and Card Show at the arena on
Sunday, September 29, beginning
at 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Inspired by the number of local
people who have substantial card
and toy tractor collections,Chair
man of the Community Centre
Board, Hebo Siertsema, said the
board has been discussing this idea
for a fundraising event for a while
now.
A committee visited other toy
shows and various other events,
distributing flyers to promote the
show.
Dealers and collectors could rent
tables for display or selling. The
committee had planned for a maxi
mum of 32 tables and Mr. Siertse
ma says they expect about 10 with
toy tractors and a higher number
displaying card collections.
Admission is $2 for adults and
children 12 and under are admitted
free if accompanied by an adult.
