Ross outlined several alter- natives for the village to con- sider. The first 'indicated a maximum contributing population of 6,787 from Seaforth, and Tuckersmith and McKillop Townships. As engineer for the Hensall dump also, Ross said this would reduce the life of the dump to as few as five years.

Finds power of the press aids in search for famil.y Approximately one year ago, Minnie Noakes began advertising in the area of Perth, Lanark County in the hope she might be able to find some of.her late mother's relatives. Her mother was born near Perth. The Perth Courier printed her letter and sure enough a relative saw the letter and she in turn wrote to the editor, for the address in Hensall had been lost. Through a friend in town who received a letter from Peterborough, Minnie was able to contact the person in Lanark County; said person being a cousin on the maternal side of Minnie's family. The late Mrs. Sarah Jane Robinson was a Lar - mon and she was Minnie's grandmother. As a result of these letters to the editor the two ladies began corresponding and talking on the telephone. A reunion was planned. On June 30 Minnie and Leonard Noakes motored to. Maberly to the home of Don and Josephine Vanalstine (nee Larmon) and on Sun- day, July 4, a reunion of Larmons and families was ticipated in'a b911 • . in'a ball g .n held in the community hall in Maberly. The couple visited several places including the birth place of the late David Robinson also many other family birthplaces. After leaving Maberly the Noakes travelled to Millbrook. in Cavan Town- ship where Minnie was, born and visited with the present owners. thence to Upper Canada Village and on to Marmora. Froin Northern Ontario they motored to Guelph where they spent one day with son Donald and his wife Olga, and one day with their eldest son Dr. David Noakes, wife Pat and son Jefferey. They arrived home on Thursday which was Leonard's birthday and other members of the family had a supper in honour of the occasion.

HENSALL Ducharme PLAYGROUND STAFF =- Patti Shapton, Jackie Cottrell and • Tracey are the staff of the Hensall summer playground this season. Ross recommended the village consider accepting garbage from no more than 600 Tuckersmith residents. "The best you could do for Tuckersmith," the engineer said, would be to indicate that council would consider accep- ting some of the garbage and advise the township on the costs of use once engineering at the Hensall dump site was completed and the costs of the plan of operation were &mown. Councillor Minnie Noakes said that council's first con- cern was for the people of Hensall and that - with the newly annexed land, Hensall may see an increase of 600 people in its population. Reeve Paul Neilands noted that Usborne Township, which currently uses the dump, wanted more use of it. Neilands however agreed to the proposal to investigate the use of the dump for the 600 Tuckersmith residents. Council passed a bylaw for the reconstruction of Brock and Oxford streets at an estimated cost of $50,000. Councillor Cecil Pepper quipped that there wasn't much point in opposing the bylaw now, since the work has already been done. Clerk Betty Oke said the bylaw should have been pass- ed last month but that work progressed more quickly than expected. Pepper added that the work done was "too good" a job. The curb and gutter puts the rest of the town to shame the councillor said, adding that now people will want similar work done throughout the village. Council passsed a motion to rebuild sidewalks along the. south side of Richmond Street, South. Works superintendent Don Towton noted sidewalk work had been budgetted and costs have already been quoted. About 1,320 feet of sidewalk at a cost of about $8.40 per foot will be rebuilt. Towton said it was planned to ay sand on the existing sidewalk and lay the new sidewalk on top. Thatway tuere would be no problems with the sidewalk settling and cracking. Council members pointed out that raising the sidewalk would tend to flood some peo- ple's front yards when it rain- ed. It was left with the works superintendent to co-ordinate the project. In other business: Council conducted an in- surance review with Dave Reid of Frank Cowan In- surance and agent Dori Joynt. Reid told council that municipalities are at the mer- cy of the courts when damages are being awarded. He advised council that its one million dollar liability on the arena was too low. He suggested council up the insurance •level a bit every year to a five million dollar level. Council agreed to raise its limit to two million this year and also raised benefits for fire fighters insurance to $20,000. Council authorized the village, to lend temporary funds, up to $35,000, to the PUC for reconstruction of watermains and services. The reeve noted the con- tractor wanted to be paid before subsidy was returned by the MTC. The village agreed to take a $50 ad in a flyer being prepared by the BIA for a 'moonlight madness' sale, Ju- ly 29. A Hensel! resident was ad- vised to seek legal advice and an agreement with his neighbor before he removes a hedge between the properties. Neilandssaid the town was not really involved in the pro- blem. The clerk agreed, noting Hensall does not have a fence bylaw, but that there may be problems if the hedge is considerred a boundary between the properties.
