Business Association presents an 'Old Fashioned Christmas' The Blyth Business Association is presenting the popular Good Time Music Hall production, Old Fashioned Christmas at the Blyth Memorial Hall on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are $12.50, at the door $15.' Call 523-4440 or Blyth People Euchre winners from Oct. 5 at Blyth Memorial Hall are: high lady, Ruth Jardin; high man, Bernice McClinchey; ladies' lone hand, Local councils must decide whether or not they want to amalgamate their Public Utilities Commission (PUC) with other Huron municipalities. Representatives for the PUCs of the 11 municipalities and several councillors from the different towns were present to hear a proposal on joining many PUCs last Thursday evening at the Clinton Legion. Town councils for the 11 municipalities in Huron County were asked to consider a proposal which would officially unite all the PUCs into one company. Neill Winger, senior consultation company hired to look into amalgamating Huron's PUCs, slid that their studies showed that amalgamating the utilities was "both technically and financially feasible." He added that the cost-savings of amalgamation would be about $20 per customer per year. "In Huron County, approximately five positions or 11 per cent of the present work force could be reduced," Winger said. "That would be an estimated savings of $268,000 per year." However, this figure is based on the assumption that the people leaving would be earning $40,000 a year, Clinton Mayor Ron McKay said. Winger said that there was an existing office location in Goderich, which has updated their computer systems, and there would be working facilities in Exeter, Seaforth and Listowel. "The work centres are not offices, but a service crew and repair and maintenance type materials," he said. When Clinton Reeve Carol Mitchell asked "Why Goderich?" Winger replied that the location of the main office was certainly an issue that the study team from Huron County wrestled with, but 523-9187 for tickets.

Forty members of the Dale family gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Snell for Thanksgiving dinner Sunday, Oct. that the Goderich building already had many of the necessary facilities available. He added the observation that Goderich is certainly not central is true, and that a place like Clinton would be more central. Winger recommended that a transitional board of directors be appointed, with 11 positions, one from each municipality, and that board be responsible for choosing the locations of the offices. "The transition board needs to reconsider where the location would be. In the course of the discussions, they may find there is a better place," he said. Winger said that people have to look at the present facilities and figure out which choice would be the least costly. "Goderich has the biggest building, the biggest customer base and the computers," Winger said. In a later interview Winger said he did not expect location to be a stumbling block. "With some effort, I think this could be satisfactorily resolved," he said. comedy. Santa will make a special appearance and lead the audience in a sing-along of their favourite Christmas songs.

Guests were present from Seaforth, Egmondville, Goderich, Guelph, St. Marys, Grand Bend, Wingham, Clinton and Belgrave/Blyth areas. Mayor McKay, however, said he would not recommend that Clinton Council approve the proposal without more data on why Goderich should host the main office.
