Reeve Mason Bailey said he was

"But I had no idea they had sent us
the money before the fact."
Normally funding from govern-
ment is received once work is com-

Councillor Rob Lawrie said that
while it wasn't good news council
would have to face it. "If it wasn't
put into reserve when it should

with it."

The biggest thing is not that it's
happening but the speed with
which it is.
This was the sMitiment expressed
by Councillor Doug Scrimgeour to
Blyth council at its regular meeting
July 22 regarding municipal
restructuring. Scrimgeour, who had
attended a meeting about privatiz-
ing maintenance of provincial high-
ways, said that he believed councils
were giving fair warning that there
are "things going to be taking
place."
Council also read a letter from
Brussels council agreeing that the
two villages and their neighbouring
township municipalities should
meet for a second time to do some
Lorne and Emma (Garner)
Scrimgeour, married in 1900, were
residents of Blyth until their deaths
in 1969 and 1973.
Recently, many of their
descendents met at the picnic
pavillion on St. Christopher's
Beach, Goderich in their honour.
Their daughter, Verne Dakin, son
Everett Scrimgeour — both from
Blyth and their daughter, Marg
Marks from Windsor were hosts for
the gathering.
Family members travelled from
Pentwater and New Baltimore,
Michigan, Inverness, Florida,
Seattle, Washington, Komoko,
Toronto, Goderich, Peterboro,
Pickering, Coburg, Newmarket,
Windsor, Blyth, and Victoria, B.C.
A grandson, Brian Marks of
Toronto compiled a chart of the
family tree. Picture albums, photos
of Mr. and Mrs. Scrimgeour's 50th,
60th and 68th wedding
anniversaries, and other family
memorabilia were displayed,
draped with the Scrimgeour tartan.
Younger family members
appreciated additional swatches of
the tartan, donated by Verne Dakin.
All missed Murray Cameron,
another grandson, who was a
patient in Goderich hospital.
Several family members visited
him during the day.
After a plentiful picnic lunch,
balloons, carrying a significant
message about the day, were
released at the edge of the lake.
There were nine in all, symbolizing
strategic planning of their own.
Clerk-Treasurer John Stewart said
the previous meeting with Brussels
and the townships had resulted in
the drawing up of a list of staff and
services each municipality had.
"If we don't start drawing up our
own restructuring plan, it will be
done for us," said Scrimgeour. "I'd
like to see this kept as grassroots as
possible."
Reeve Mason Bailey said, "I'm
quite certain in my mind that
they're (the province) not going to
allow little two or three township
realms. I think what they really
want is for us to be confused and
start squabbling among ourselves,
so they can come in and implement
regional government in Huron.
They did it to the milk industry and
Lorne and Emma Scrimgeour and
their seven children — Frank, Hazel,
Cliff, Verne, Murray, Everett and
Marg. This tribute was arranged by
a granddaughter, Carole Marks of
Windsor.
Of the 76 direct descendents —
children , grandchildren, great-
grandchildren and great-great-
grandchildren — 55 family members
enjoyed the event.
they've done it to other things. I
have little doubt that's what they
want."
"But at this point we have some
control over our destiny," added
Scrimgeour.
While stressing once again that
he felt there was going to be little
control for municipalities such as
Blyth in the future, Reeve Bailey
noted, that planning did have to be
done. "I'm not going to lose by
default. The good side of this that I
see is that almost every municipali-
ty is saying the same thing."
