UCW to prove wishes can come true SEUNGER WOOD LTD.
Everyone is encouraged to put
their wish (along with the price
you're willing to pay) into the well.
Items such as knitting or crocheting
projects, baking (Christmas cakes,
pies, bread), Christmas crafts,
quilting or shopping trips are
examples of what you could wish
for. Then, the U.C.W. hopes to find
someone to make the “wish items”.
They will be on display at the
Bonanza. Anyone wishing to

At a planning meeting for the
Blyth U.C.W.'s upcoming Harvest
Bonanza, enthusiasm was keen for
two new events which will be part
of the Bonanza on Nov. 5, 6 and 7.
The U.C.W. hopes to prove that
“Wishes Do Come True”. They are
planning a “Wish List” auction,
from Sept. 12 to Oct. 4. A wishing
well will be on display in Webster's
Clothing and Footwear Store (and
in Blyth United Church on
Sundays).
Highway 4 may become
connecting link in Blyth
The decision to make Hwy 4
through Blyth a connecting link
may be decided at a special meet
ing of council in the near future.
The move was prompted after a
meeting with six representatives of
MTO on Monday afternoon regard
ing the future reconstruction of the
highway through the village as a
continuation of the highway project
done north of town to Belgrave last
year.
The village had proposed having
a combined storm sewer with
MTO. However, Engineer Martin
Favell told councillors and engin-
neers Bruce Potter of B.M. Ross
and Associates, who have been
responsible for the drainage work
and Art Clarke of Maitland Engi
neering Service, who has helped
the village with the PRIDE pro
jects, that he could not see how the
legalities of such an agreement
could work.
Using examples such as mainte
nance, water quality and liability
for damage, Mr. Favell said he
could not see how the legalities
could be defined, suggesting as an
alternative the village consider tak
ing over control of its portion of the
highway as a connecting link.
"Are you implying that without a
connecting link you won't agree to
a combined storm sewer?" asked
Mr. Potter.
"I am stating that," said Mr.
Favell, explaining there has been
no precedent established to the con
trary. "There have been many cases
where the combined storm sewer is
done on existing connecting links."
Should the highway become a
connecting link, officially, it means
the municipality has control over
what is done on the road, regarding
such things as signing and lighting.
They are subsidized by the ministry
for construction, snowplowing,
sanding and snow removal. Storm
sewer responsibility would be 100
per cent municipality after con
struction.
Dennis McLeod of MTO told
council there is a cost benefit, in
addition to not having to assume

true, you must come to Blyth
United Church during the Bonanza

The second new event will be a
“Harvest Kitchen” at the Harvest
Bonanza Bazaar at 2 p.m. on
Saturday, Nov. 7. This section will
include items made in the kitchen,
packaged (where possible) in small
containers for singles or small
families, and will include such
things as casseroles, salads, pie
fillings, mixes, jams, pickles, etc.

Bonanza, the used clothing sale
will once again be a highlight. It
will operate on Thursday, Nov. 5
and Friday, Nov. 6. Babysitting is
provided free of charge during
these two days. New this year at the
clothing sale is noon hour shopping
