Following a presentation by repre-
sentatives from Wheels Away at the
April 2 meeting, North Huron coun-
cillors moved to support the service
for the upcoming year.
Blyth had not had participation in
the service over the past and thus that
village council had opted out of the
service. Office Manager Dianne
Grummett, however, explained that
there may be more residents from
Blyth interested now that the bound-
aries have changed for the transit
service.
Also, Grummett added that users
of non-member communities pay
more, thus Blyth residents who had
expressed interest had found the cost
to be too high. For example a ride to
Lucknow from Wingham would be
$5.50 one way. For people living in
non-member communities a sur-
charge of $4 is added to this.
The per capita cost for North
Huron would be $1,506.50 plus $3 a
ride.
Noting the usage for Wingham and
East Wawanosh, Deputy-Reeve Jeff
Howson felt that for the money, it
was maybe time to see if Blyth resi-
dents were interested. Councillor
Euchre results

McCall; high man, Graerne
McDowell; lone hands, Evelyn
Christensen, Kay Konarski: low

Nesbitt.

decorated an Easter bonnet. They
were asked to walk around the room
for others to judge. Although it was a
tough decision to make, Janet Lawrie,
Isabel Craig and Margaret Radford
were chosen as the winners ... very
similar to picking names out of a hat.
Happy birthday to Dianne Weber
who will be one year older this
month. Special congratulations go out
to Mr. and Mrs. Hank Dyk who will
be celebrating their 43rd anniversary
while Elliot and Kay Lapp will be
reaching their 55th anniversary.
Compliments of the Seaforth
Manor, two Easter prizes were donat-
ed. A beautiful Easter Lily went to
Dan McInnis with Sally deBoer as the
recipient of a lovely ornament. This
month Mildred Lawlor won the door
prize, while Effie McCall was the
winner of the 50/50 draw,
Dianne introduced Elinor Clarke
who displayed her spinning, which
she has been doing for 18 years..
Numerous lovely garments, including
the beautiful sweater she was wear-
ing, were on display. She demonstrat-
ed how yarn was made starting from
scratch.
She explained that wool is the soft.
curly crisp hair obtained from fleece
of the sheep and some allied animals.
In turn the material made from this is
then used on a spinning wheel. This
device spins the yarn or thread
obtained from the wool.
Elinor also showed a drop spindle,
the type that was used in the 14 and
15 century.
All of this was familiar for Toni Vos
who is an active spinner herself.
Mrs. Clarke is planning to go to
China later this year to demonstrate
and donation clothing she has made.
Afterwards, the advisory board held
a meeting to update all the plans for
future activities.

love to raise the animals that produce
chocolate eggs for Pete's Rabbit.
