Clerk Helen Grubb told council that in discussions with East Wawanosh Clerk Winona Thomp- son it was noted that East Wawanosh pays the representative, Noreen Gnay for extra meetings, in addition to a stipend of $250 for her attendance at the regular board meetings. Blyth, which has always paid Mrs. Gnay a flat rate of $250 per year had voted Oct. 28 to increase it by $50. Both townships feel that as joint representative Mrs. Gnay has done an admirable job. However, as she is so active on the committees Mrs. Thompson had suggested the possi- bility of Blyth paying a share of the extra meeting fee of $30 to lessen the burden on East Wawanosh. Based on a percentage of total admittance between East Wawanosh and Blyth, Ms Grubb told council that figure would be $410.40. On the meeting agenda council was informed that "East Wawanosh plans to bill Blyth on a percentage basis... Blyth portion." Councillor Eugene Coburn expressed surprise that this had never been mentioned in previous discussions. Councillor Steve Sparling ques- tioned by what authority did East Wawanosh feel that they could bill Blyth for something they had not agreed to. "How many years has East Wawanosh operated under this The November meeting of Londesboro UCW was held at the church on Monday evening, Nov. 8. The purpose was repeated in unison. The worship service opened with hymn 126. A reading was given by Mary Vandermolen. Scripture from John 17 was read by Florence Cartwright. Joan Whyte read an article entitled "Thank You God". Prayer was read by June Fothergill. Collection and birthday pennies were taken up. The minutes of the September meeting were read. Helen Lawson gave a report of the Fall Rally in Clinton. Thank yous Greeters at Londesboro United Church on Sunday, Nov. 14 were Don and Catharine Allen. Ushers were Rick and Brenda Konarski, Donald Allen and Elgin Penfound. Guest speaker for the anniversary service was Rev. Stan McDonald of London, a former pastor. His sermon topic was "0 Lord I'm Hungry." The Snell Family Singers sang four numbers. Rev. Mac Carson, a former pastor from Hamilton was also present. The new ramp, furnaces and automatic doors were dedicated by Rev. Paul Ross. In the announcements it was agreement that they created?" he asked, adding that this could set a dangerous precedent. "I am not questioning the motive or integrity of East Wawanosh but it seems a bit of a stretch that we don't know about this, the represen- tative has never referred to it, yet we're going to be billed," Council- lor Sparling said. Ms Grubb said that though there isn't presently an agreement with regards to payment between the vil- lage and East Wawanosh for Mrs. Gnay there should be. All other Blyth board reps receive a meeting fee, she said. After suggesting that council meet with East Wawanosh to dis- cuss this Councillor Sparling said," I'm confident we can come to an understanding, but I'm uncomfort- able there hadn't been discussion." Noting that Mrs. Gnay had not asked for more money or for this matter to be considered, Reeve Dave Lee said, "This is unfortu- nate. She's doing a 110 percent job and we don't want any of this to reflect on her. It's between us and East Wawanosh. In a phone interview on Friday morning Mrs. Thompson said that there is no bill coming to Blyth at this point. Though she agreed dis- cussion had occurred between her and Ms Grubb, there had been no mention as yet to East Wawanosh council. "This was just an idea; there is nothing defmite. My coun- cil isn't even aware of the sugges- tion at this point." The idea, she said, had come up as a way of cutting back some of the financial burden on East Wawanosh while seeing that the representative received compensa- tion for her time and mileage. were read from Shirley Lyon, Laura Lyon, Hazel Reid, Reg Lawson and Ruth Shaddick.
