THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1993. PAGE 3.
Blyth council indicated it will
grant $1750 to the Blyth Festival
subject to budget approval.
Carol McDonnell represented the
Festival and appealed to council for
the grant at their Feb. 23 meeting.
"Our 1993 request for funding, rec-
ognizing the current financial situa-
tion, is the same as last year," she
said.
She told council, theatre staff
believe 1993 will be a "very posi-
tive" year for the Festival.

sermon
Greeters at Blyth United Church
on Sunday, Mar. 7 were Bea
Chambers and Vera Badley. Ushers
were Brenda MacDonald and
Lenora Davidson. Kathy Fraser
looked after the junior congregation
and Melanie Bearss was in charge
of the nursery.
Rev. Lorenzo Ramirez opened
the service with call to worship.
"Oh Worship The King" was sung
followed by the responsive reading.
Scripture reading was taken from
John 3: 1-7. The congregation then
sang the hymn, "My Hope is Built
on Nothing Less."
The choir sang "Something Good
is Going to Happen to You", with
Garth Walden taking the solo,
accompanied by Phyllis Boak at the
piano.
Rev. Ramirez' sermon was based
on Believe in Jesus. "We must
believe even though we do not see
Him!" The service closed with the
hymn "I heard the voice of Jesus
say? Benediction and choral
response followed.
The lovely flower arrangements
were from the funeral of the late
Mayme Crawford and placed in
loving memory by her family.
cil agreed to purchase two speaker
mikes for PUC and Road Depart-
ment staff.
The speaker mikes are clips that
allow workers to communicate
without dislodging their personal
radios.
The mikes cost approximately
$150 each. They could save the
town money since replacing a bro-
ken mike is less expensive than
replacing a broken radio, which
cost several hundreds of dollars.

Council passed a by-law to pro-
hibit smoking in the Blyth Munici-
pal Office building.
The by-law states these reasons
for banning smoking: there is a
growing trend toward prohibition
of smoking in public buildings,
smoking is recognized as a poten-
tial health hazard and known as a
nuisance and irritant to non-smok-
ers and that Bill 194 which was
passed by the Ministry of Labour to
restrict smoking in the workplace
provides such regulations for the
health and welfare of the work-
place.
