Things looking brighter in Blyth
with new street lights installed
Streets in the village have been
given a new look in the past couple
of weeks as new, energy-efficient
street lights have been installed and
the future will be even brighter
after Village Council approved the
purchase of additional lights Dec.
17.
Reeve Dave Lee reported to
council that all the old lights
(except those on main street) had
been removed and the new lights,
purchased under the PRIDE grant,
had been installed, but a tour of the
village by himself, PUC foreman
Bill Bromley and Clerk-Treasurer
Helen Grubb had revealed some
problem areas with dark spots. He
recommended 13 or 14 new lights
be purchased to complete job.
Councillor John Elliott said some
criteria needs to be set up as to
where lights would be added. He
agreed with complaints from resi
dents of Gypsy Lane that they
needed a light because the street is
travelled at a relatively fast rate and
there is no sidewalk, but requests
that just give more security to a
personal property may not warrant
additional lighting, he said.
Reeve Lee said that while the

additional lights should solve the
problems for now, more problems
may be found come spring when
the leaves come out on the trees
and block light from some lamps.
Although the PRIDE grant
money has been used up, council
lors agreed to the purchase of the
additional lights at a cost of $152
year. Town workmen will be asked
to install the lights if their schedule
allows, saving the $59 per light
installation fee that had been paid
for the installation of the previous
lights. In the long run, the lights
should save taxpayers money. The
old dusk-to-dawn lights being used
were taking a good deal of mainte
nance to keep going, used much
more electricity than the newer
lights, and bulbs cost $85 each and
were easy victims of vandals.
Some of the old lights will be
dismantled and the aluminum even-
tually recycled. Those that can be
repaired will be. Councillor Elliott
made a motion that the old lights
OFFICER FRIENDLY
Peace op E.ai-lb
When the angels sang on the Judean hills and
proclaimed there would be peace and goodwill come to
men as a result of the birth of Christ, they referred not to
national or political peace, but to personal peace - peace
of mind - peace in our very inmost being! This peace is
the blessing God gives to every one who accepts His Son
as Saviour. Thus the promise of "Peace on earth" is
fulfilled to each of us, and as we find peace individually,
the attitude of ''Goodwill to men" will emanate from our
lives, not only at Christmas, but always.
May all our friends and loved ones experience this peace
and goodwill of which the angels sang, making this a
most blessed Christmas.
-Love to all,

street in the core area. "(Then) in a
perfect world if somebody was
parked illegally the car would be
towed," he said. He worried that
enforcement would be the hardest
part.
Councillors agreed that many
people do mind the signs. Reeve
Dave Lee pointed out the signs at
the Dinsley St. intersection had cer
tainly improved the situation there.
At least the no parking signs should
reduce the village's liability, the
councillors felt.
