Council approves
$3,711 filing system
Seniors enjoy sing-song
THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1993. PAGE 3.
By Bonnie Gropp
The long-awaited filing system is
finally on its way to Blyth Munici-
pal Office.
Council voted at its Oct. 28 meet-
ing to approve the purchase of a
filing system valued at $3,711. A
filing system had been included in
the 1992 and 1993 budgets, but was
not approved due to financial con-
cerns.
Clerk-Treasurer Helen Grubb
told councillors that a grant, which
had been received from the Min-
istry of Housing to improve the
office's filing system would reduce
the village share to $2,717. The
grant money had been in the bank
since Dec. 15, 1992, she said.
She presented council with two
prices, one for a locked cabinet,
and one for an open cabinet. The
cost difference was just under
$860.
Ms Grubb told council that some
of the money would be coming out
of the hydro and water bank
accounts as the system would be
used for their files as well.
The system will make the office

high lady, Edythe Glousher with

PITCH-IN
CANADA!
more efficient council was told as
information on each property could
be stored in a separate file and
would be easier to access.
The reasons for a locked system
over an open one, Ms Grubb says,
is confidentiality. Asked by Coun-
cillor Eugene Coburn, which sys-
tem she preferred for the office, she
said the locked one as she believed
the residents would feel secure
knowing that their files are under
lock and key.
The present filing cabinets will
go to the arena and the village
shop.
Council voted unanimously to
purchase the locked filing system.
Ms Grubb also asked council
about a fax machine for the office,
another item which has been in the
budget for two years.
Ms Grubb specified that she was
looking for a machine that used
bond paper as it doesn't have to be
photocopied if the information
needs to be filed.
Reeve Dave Lee suggested, how-
ever, the possibility of receiving
faxes through the office computer.
"That way you can buy the cheap-
est fax machine just for transmis-
sion," he said.
Council also passed a motion to
advertise for tenders to complete
the office work areas and redesign
the council table.
The Blyth Swinging Seniors met
in the Memorial Hall at 12 noon on
Oct. 27 for a pot luck dinner.
Following the dinner, President
John Hesselwood called the
meeting to order and opened by
singing 0 Canada. A sing-song
followed with Harve McDowell
and Millar Richmond leading with
Phyllis Boak at the piano.
Happy Birthday was sung to
Mary Walden for her October
birthday. John then called on Joe
Chatterton of Blyth, who delighted
the audience with several
harmonica numbers. Mary Walden
thanked him.
Jean Nethery introduced the
speaker Brian Elmslie of Port
Elgin, an investment broker. He
explained some hints on investing
money. Jean thanked him and
presented a gift.
John continued with the business
meeting and the usual reports were
given. John then gave a humorous
poem called "Paddy Haggerty's Old
Leather Britches". He reminded
members about the turkey dinner
which will be catered to by the
Legion ladies on Nov. 24 at 12
noon. The price is $9 which
includes dinner and admission to
the meeting. Those interested
should notify Vera Hesselwood or
Ferne McDowell by Nov. 19 for
tickets. All Seniors welcome.
The Seniors will be entertaining
at Huronlea in Brussels on Dec. 7
at 2 p.m. for their December
birthday party. Cookies and squares
will be served to the residents.
After a short discussion on some
business matters, John closed the
meeting.
