PAGE 17 Morris reeve explains reasons for resigning By Bonnie Gropp Distress over specific municipal issues was the reason Morris Twp. Reeve Clem McLellan gave for walking out on a council meeting Feb. 28. In an interview last week, Mr. HARRY HILL WAYMOUTH Harry Hill Waymouth of Huron- view, formerly of Clinton and Blyth, passed away Sunday, March 19, 1995. Mr. Waymouth was known to many as the local mailman and operated a dairy farm near Blyth prior to moving to Clinton. He was a member of the IOOF Clinton, Lodge 83 as well as a for- mer member of Blyth Presbyterian Church. Mr. Waymouth was born in Blyth, on Dec. 15, 1904, to John Henry Waymouth and Ida Jane Hill. He was the beloved husband of Violet Elizabeth (Castle), the dear father of Doris and her husband Gordon Harrison of Goderich and Jean and her husband Robert McBean of Cambridge and the lov- ing grandfather of 10 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. He was the dear brother of Eliza- beth (Mrs. Hugh Ball) of Goderich. Mr. Waymouth was predeceased by one granddaughter, Elizabeth Jean Harrison and one brother, Gordon Waymouth. Rev. Stan Mcdonald, a family friend, officiated at the funeral ser- vice which was held at the Beattie- Falconer Funeral Homes, Clinton, on March 21, 1995. Mary Sutter and Cleta Holland sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus." Clinton Lodge 83 of the IOOF McLellan said he is definitely resigning from the head of council and would be submitting an official written declaration this week to Clerk Nancy Michie. Mr. McLellan expressed his dis- satisfaction regarding the fact that held a memorial service at the funeral home on March 20. Interment was at Blyth Union Cemetery. GEORGE HENRY THORTON George Henry Thorton passed away on Monday, March 13, 1995 at Mitchell Nursing Home, Mitchell. He was in his 83rd year. He was the beloved husband of the late Ruth Alcock, who prede- ceased him 1982, the loving father of Robert and Carol Thorton of Brussels and Margaret and Art Weiler of Waubaushene and the loved grandfather of five grandchil- dren and 10 great grandchildren. Mr. Thorton was the very dear friend of Freda Mogk of Mitchell. He was the dear brother of Eliza- beth Ellacott of Woodstock and Clifford Thorton of London and the late Tom, Lewis and Cecil Thorton. The funeral service was held on March 16,1995 from St. John's Anglican Church in Brussels. Spring interment will be at Brus- sels Cemetery, Brussels. Pallbearers were Lorne Draper Murray Long, Max McLellan, Howard Bernard, Paul McDonald and Wayne Todd. Flower bearers were Robert Weiler, Steven Thorton and Murray Willis. In remembrance, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated. the municipality would absorb the administrative costs for the pur- chase of the CNR abandoned rail line property. The legal and survey costs will be paid by the private landowners. "I don't like to see the cost for private land purchase in any way being absorbed by the municipali- ty," he said. This decision was agreed upon at a special meeting in June of 1993 held in Bluevale Community Hall with landowners and council, com- prised at that time of Reeve Doug Fraser, Deputy-Reeve McLellan and Councillors Bert Elliott, John Continued from page 3 won't be sure. "When does caution become constriction?" he asked. How many Pharisees are in church today because they are not sure? The great sin in church is that people are too busy, not taking the time to pray or read the Bible. We want to keep our feelings private, as to who Jesus is, what he wants us to do and what relationship we should have, said Rev. Geddes. What more could Jesus have done to convince the Pharisees? Jesus never once performed a miracle to convince people as to who he was. In reality signs are only given to those who understand and believe. We wait for some direction and if we receive it, we will believe, Rev. Geddes said. Jesus response to the Pharisees was very direct. Jesus swears there will be no sign. Why did they not see the signs that he was already performing? Jesus alone was God's sign. In spite of Jonah's reluctance, culmination was in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What will it take to convince people that Jesus is our sign; life committed to Christ. Duskocy and Wayne Riley. Mr. McLellan said he was also disturbed over an omission in the minutes of a special meeting held Feb. 16..The minutes read, "That the Township of Morris proceed to apply for rezoning of the proposed Lot for Lot 31, Conc. 1 and rezone the Neil Warwick Lot AG4 and the remaining lots AG4-H, where road access is required." The owner of the remaining lots is Councillor Keith Johnston, who declared a pecuniary interest prior to discussion on this. In response Mrs. Michie said that Mr. McLellan would have had the What more can Jesus do to convince us? Don't be like the disciples. Remember what Christ has done and have faith that he will do it again. Rev. Geddes quoted what Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote: "Earths crammed with heaven, And ever common bush afire with God; But only he who sees, takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries." Tell Me The Old, Old Story was sung. Pastoral prayer and The Lord's Prayer were repeated in unison. The closing hymn was He Leadeth Me; 0 Blessed Thought. Lenton Bible Study is Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the church parlour. Moms and Tots is Friday mornings. opportunity at the next meeting of council, if he had attended, to have the minutes amended to include the name. The $172 surplus reported for the township in the March 1 issue of The Citizen was another concern for Mr. McLellan, who felt that it did not completely inform the pub- lic of the real financial story. The surplus, he said, came as a result of a transfer of $11,500 from the Roads Working Reserve. According to Mrs. Michie there was $50,000 in reserve which was to. go towards the purchase of a Continued on page 18 On Friday, March 24 from 8 - 10 p.m:there will be Family Night.
