Council awarded the contract to crush and stockpile 10,000 cubic yards of granular 'A' in the township pit to Joe Kerr Ltd. at a total cost of $1.13 per cubic yard. The quote was the lowest of quotes received from four area contractors. Council authorized the petition for the interim payment under the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act on expenditures made for the period ending Oct. 31 in the total amount of $316,853. Upon approval by the Ministry, council will receive from the provincial government the final portion of the conditional grant. A petition signed by 10 township ratepayers concerning noise emitted by a tractor and generator was received. Clerk John Stewart was instructed by council to investigate the complaint to determine if the owner was in contravention of a township bylaw. Reeve William Vanstone will attend the Rural Ontario Municipal Association Conference, Feb. 6-9, in Toronto. Clerk John Stewart advised council that an application for a grant in the amount of $5,000 through the Recreation Assistance Program for small communities had been completed an forwarded to the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation. If approved, the money will be received next April or May.

Council also endorsed a resolution from the municipality of Neebing requesting the provincial government ensure municipalities receive gross receipts tax from all companies collecting telephone revenues. Beth Ross; Helga McDonald and Sandra Scott, Centralia College, Sue Hill, Health Unit and Ms Brown representing the Communi- ty Information Service. Special mention was given to Jane Muegge of the OMAF office for her assistance with the project. Complimentary directories were presented to several government representatives. Newly appointed MP Paul Steckle complimented those who had been part of the work, ng that he shared their exci- tiement. He has, he said, discov- ered already in his short time as a public servant, that the services often required by the constituents are not necessarily in Ottawa. A letter from MPP Paul Klopp stated his pleasure in OMAF hav- ing provided the grant and com- mended the Network in "pulling together a valuable tool." County Warden Tom Tomes also expressed appreciation for the job and said he was sure the county would put the directory to good use. Jack Haggarty, director of Cen- tral Region OMAF noted that four other counties are involved in simi- lar projects, but Huron is the first to complete it. He said it is " a great thrill" to see this major undertaking completed. "My boss is always ask- ing me where the deliverable is. Well, this is it." Kathy Biondi, principal at Cen- tralia College said, "It is a proud day when you can, as Jack says, get the deliverable. Centralia is looking for ways to co-operate with com- munity and this was a good way to get us rolling." A special presentation was made to Ms Scott and Ms Hill for their work on database management, production, formatting, preparing camera ready pages, The directories are available at $22 apiece from the OMAF office, county library branches and from the information service. Work on the next directory, Ms Ross said "starts tomorrow." Once again, the Salvation Army is preparing for its Christmas and winter relief program and appeal. Covering an area from Millerton in the north to Walton in the south, and from Nile to Fordwich, the Salvation Army assists many hurting, lonely, hungry , and struggling families, not only at Christmas, but also throughout the year. The help consists of food, clothing, counselling, accommoda- tion, and much, much more including toys at Christmas and warm winter clothing for the children each winter. Each year, the Salvation Army reaches out and appeals for help for the less fortunate, and each year they receive tremendous support from the community. For a struggling family or for a needy child who dreams of a new toy, a donation can be made to: The Salvation Army Family Services (Christmas and Winter Relief Appeal) Box 610, Wingham, Ontario NOG 2W0 or by simply dropping by the family services office at 228 Josephine Street in Wingham. For those who are struggling to make ends meet, and for those who may require assistance at this time, the Salvation Army Family Services will be open and available to accept your application at 294 Edward Street.
