Council set Monday, October 18 as the night when anyone seeking, election to council will have the opportunity to speak publicly. With less than a month to go not a single member of the present council indicated he intended to seek re-election to run the township business for the next three years. When questioned by the press reporter Tuesday night following the five-hour coun- cil session Reeve Robert Bell said he was undecided as did Councillors John Brownridge and James Papple. Later Bell said the three-year term as wt11 as the added workload is the reason he wants to give it more consideration while Papple said he is seriously considering not running' because of the time involved. Councillor Robert Broad - foot said "No" but added "unless something happens in the next few days". Only Deputy Reeve William Brown gave a definite "No." For the upcoming election • council will pay its election of-,' ficials the same as the last election: deputy returning of- ficer $50; poll clerks $90; and for polling. places $45.

First was Wayne Caldwell of the Huron Coun- ty Planning Department who outlined the proposed severance policies which Tuckersmith wants in the agriculture area. He said a public meeting will he held on October 6 when ratepayers will have the chance to state whether they oppose any of the proposals. Caldwell said copies can be obtained from Clerk Jack McLachlan at the township office at Vanastra by anyone wishing to Study them. Cec Lewis of C.H. Lewis (Lucan) Ltd.

Dianne Durnin, recreation director at Vanastra spent over two hours with council, mainly in committee of the whole discussing personnel problems. . Also she discussed quotes she had on a new heating system for the swimming pool at Vanastra. She said it was in bad condition and last winter was told it might not last out that season. Quotes varied with the highest at $58,000. Reeve Bell said "It's cer- tainly the wrong time to be spending that kind of money. I don't think we could swing those expenditures now." Councillor Broadfoot agreed, "I would not want to try". Clerk McLachlan pointed out as they were converting from oil. to propane gas a government grant was available. Reeve Bell suggested they should investigate the work of the firm making the $58,000 quote who installed a similar system at the Pinedale Motel in Grand Bend. In the meantime Mrs. Dur- nin was instructed to have the present system inspected to make any necessary repairs to keep it working. • Council agreed to repair the catch basin on the Wallace Drain at the request of Fer- nand Vantyghem and to repair the Wood Drain M the request of John Wood.

Could that be one of the reasons that attendance was down by nearly fifty from last year at the anniversary sup- per in Varna United Church. However, donations were up, and so were the proceeds.

Recent- ly a neighbour received a call on the downstairs phone from cousins announcing that they were coming over for a cup of coffee. The hostess im- mediately went up to put on the kettle, to find the kettle already on and her expected guests, who live a couple of miles away, sitting around the table. My father should have liv- ed to see how we split wood these days! When I think how much work was involved in splitting enough wood with an axe for two stoves to heat a large farmhouse, I marvel that I split wood all one after- noon and didn't even get tired! Now I'm not in great shape, and Bill was tired from loading and unloading the splitter, but all I had to do was push a lever back and forth on Mery Hayter's hydraulic splitter, which he built himself. World Wide Communion will be observed in our chur- ches next Sunday. On Tues- day evening the U.C.W. Regional 20th Anniversary Celebrations will be held at Londesboro.
