Don Scrimgeour, representing the association, attended the Sept. 18 meeting to ask if council had given any thought as to where the project was going. Through the infrastructure grant, the decorative lighting was to be continued from Bell's Variety, north to the bridge. The one-third portion of the cost for the village was raised in last year's levy. The work must be done by March 1996 or the two-thirds government fund- ing will be lost. "Can we expect this in the future or is it a dead issue?" Scrimgeour asked. Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart said he had contacted the engineer for some figures regarding options for the type of pole used etc. There has been some concern in the past that the lightweight poles in the downtown core have not been as Blyth People Legion celebrates This week Branch 420 to the Royal Canadian Legion will join some 600,000 members in 1800 branches across Canada to celebrate Legion Week. Since 1946 the Blyth Branch has been involved in "Building the Community Spirit" by helping veterans and their families, sup- porting sports programs for youth, hospital and community health services, education and scholastic programs at Zone, District and Dominion levels. Locally the Legion and Ladies Auxiliary has supported the Blyth and District Community Centre, Blyth Memorial Community Hall, the Blyth Festival, Country Festival Activities, the Threshers Reunion, Blyth Lions and Optimist Youth Continued on page 7 durable as they should be. Scrimgeour said, however, that he had toured many cities and towns that have the lighting and they all have the same type of pole. "Do we want to go to a concrete pole that won't fall over, but might kill someone if they run into it'?" he wondered. "We had two instances of bad luck early and insurance covered one of those. There are wooden poles in town that have been there for years. If these poles aren't considered safe then the engi- neer should say. That's (why) they're paid the big bucks." Councillor Doug Scrimgeour raised another concern that the grant money may not be there any- more. Stewart agreed that this is a good point, saying that in phone conversations with representatives from infrastructure he is not getting answers. "I haven't been told no, but it's the way they answer. No one will tell me, 'Yes, you have $30,000 left.' I'm just a little leery." Council deferred decision until the engineer's report had been received. Stewart said he would Visitors with Carman and Ella Gwyn on Saturday were Collette and Mike McCormick of Oil City. Collette and Carman met this summer while trucking near Sarnia and they have been keeping in touch since. Threshers Week visitors were Carman's sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law Mary and Elwood Blake and Hespler and Fredia Hooker of London. contact him again this week and would let the business association know when he had heard. "We are definitely doing some work on it. We just have to wait for (the engineer)," Reeve Mason Bai- ley said.
