Irvin George Bowes and Mary
Elizabeth (Betty) (Gillespie) Bowes
celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary with family and close
friends at the Church of Christ in
Stratford.
Married by Rev. Hazelwood, on
July 31, 1948, in the groom's home
in Blyth, the couple was attended
by Jean Wood, maid of honour,
flowergiri, Betty Jean Hussey and
best man Gerald Watson.
The bride was given in marriage
by her brother-in-law Everett
Hussey.
The newlyweds honeymooned in
Bracebridge, a half-day journey
from Blyth at the time.

Councillors Rob Lawrie and
The Bowes raised two daughters,
Maxine (John Brush) and Connie
(Vernon Bromley). Also celebrat-
ing with them at their 50th were
with grandchildren Maridale and
Mark Vogels, Aaron and Russell
Bromley and Christine, Karen and
Johnny Brush.
Members of Blyth United
Church, Mr. Bowes also served on
Blyth Fire Department for 40 years,
30 as chief. He worked for Howson
and Howson for 35 years, retiring
in 1987.
Special guests at the anniversary
celebration were attendants Jean
Wood and Betty Jean Hussey. The
best man was absent due to illness.
Doug Scrimgeour along with Stew-
art, attended the Association of
Municipalities conference in
Toronto, Aug 23-26.
Reeve Mason Bailey attended on
behalf of the county.

Tenders will be called for the
reconstruction and paving of King
Street, between Morris and Mill
Streets. Quotes will be sought for
just paving work as well as paving
with curbs and gutters.
Stewart said there is $36,000 in
the budget for road work as well as
$10,000 in reserves.
There may be some savings due
to shared costs with the Avon Mait-
land District School Board which is
having a section in front of Blyth
Public School paved as well as the
PUC, as they wish to install a
watermain.
Tenders close Sept. 15.

Stewart was asked to obtain an
estimate, for repairs to the village
truck.
***
With the amalgamation of public
utility commissions in the works
and an eventual choice of electrici-
ty providers, council agreed to
allow Enershare Technology Cor-
poration to complete an energy
audit of the municipally-owned
buildings. The audit would indicate
potential energy savings for the vil-
lage such as the replacement of
lighting fixtures.
Though council accepted the
audit proposal, they were hesitant
to deal with any longer term ener-
gy-supply agreement with the firm,
in part due to the possibility of
future municipal amalgamations.
Reeve Bailey said any long term
contracts should be discussed with
potential amalgamation partners
before committing.
***
Council approved the purchase of
a plain paper fax from Skeoch
Business Equipment for a cost of
$950. The PUC will be asked to
share the cost.
It was calculated that the cost of
the machine will be recouped in a
year with savings in paper costs
both from the thermal paper fax
and extra photocopying which had
been required.
