Sorry,
our mistake
There were two errors in last
week's report on Reg and Irene
Schultz's 60th wedding anniver-
sary.
The first should have read, "Fol-
lowing the wedding the couple
began the business of marriage
with Irene tending the homefires
and Reg fanning at their Lot 33,
Conc. 3 East Wawanosh resi-
dence."
Also, Mrs. Schultz attends the
Adult Day Centre in Clinton.
We regret the errors and apolo-
gize for any confusion they may
have caused.

The Terry Fox Run, Sunday,
Sept. 17 in Zurich was a great
success.
Most money pledges was from
seven-year-old Natasha Haggitt,
daughter of Louise and Paul
Haggitt, of RR 2, Zurich. Natasha
biked nine miles, raising $433 for
the event.
Natasha is the granddaughter of
Ella and Carmen Gwyn of Blyth.
Natasha appreciates the support of
all the Blyth citizens who
sponsored her in the Terry Fox
Run.
At the Sept. 18 meeting, Blyth
council instructed Clerk-Treasurer
John Stewart to attend the Public
Advisory Committee meeting,
Sept. 26 in Milverton with regards
to the leasing of CPR property.
Councillor Doug Scrimgeour said
he would also attend if possible.

Council accepted the budget to
actual. When questioned by a mem-
ber of council, Clerk Stewart said,
"I'm not an auditor but I would say
we're in reasonably good shape.
Total revenue was budgeted at
$614,122. The actual revenue to
date is $495,297.69. Expenditures
have been $271,545.68.
***
Payment was authorized to Vic-
toria Systems Inc for a new ,3om-
pressor-motor and labour for Blyth
Memorial Hall air conditioning in
the amount of $3,365.15.
Another payment was approved-
for office supplies to Grayhurst

Clerk Stewart told council that if
the municipality wanted to update
its emergency plan, a grant of 45
per cent for some costs would be
available through the Joint Emer-
gency Preparedeness Program.
Information is being forwarded
to the Blyth Area Fire Board for
consideration.
***
Permission was given to Howson
Mills to take material from the
demolition of the mill to the land-
fill site, burn it and clean up materi-
al that didn't burn. Permission had
been granted last year but the work
did not proceed.
*4.*
Clerk Stewart told council that
the cemetery board is attempting to
contact the heirs of the original
trustees to have them sign off and
complete a Quit Claim Deed. If this
is done it would mean that a survey
would not have to be done.

During public question period
Joe Hallahan asked council if there
was going to be a public meeting

ject.
Councillor Scrimgeour said that a

nothing could be done until the
lease agreement was finalized.
