Antennas VARNA, ONTARIO Brian McAsh 482-7129 If no answer call 482-7157 I wish to thank the Electors of Hay Township for electing me to Council on November 8. The final meeting of the current Zurich council was dubbed a "housekeeping" session by out -going reeve Ferd Haberer. After polling day, no council is allowed to pass any resolutions concer- ning financial obligations bin- ding on a new council. This restriction does not apply to moves to save money. Council agreed to switch their taxbilling con- tract from IBM to Emco in 1983 after clerk Sharon Baker explained IBM has closed its London office, and the London-based Emco com- pany would charge slightly over $600 for the same ser- vices previously supplied by IBM for twice that figure. Ex- eter and Hensall use Emco, and both have been pleased with their dealings with the company. The Ausable-Bayfiled Con- servation Authority will be giving all interested municipalities the opportuni- ty to contribute their views and comments before the Authority draws up its guidelines on resource management for the next 15 years. The overall progam will be announced in June 1983. The Letter from the Authority will be read at the meeting of the newly elected council. Keith Westlake reported he and road superintendent Den- nis Regier had been impress- ed with a demonstration of the ditch -cleaning machine the Ausable-Bayfield and Up- per •thames Conservation Authorities propose to pur- chase and rent out to the municipalities if enough of them are interested. Westlake said the ditch- cleaining attachment worked quickly and efficiently, and would be ideal for use by Zurich. The machine comes equipped with other at- tachments including a rotary mower. Council moved into a court of revision to discuss reduced taxes on some properties. Councillor Bob Fisher voiced the opinion that too much authority is in the pro- vincial assessment office, and that if someone is conducting a business from his or her home, that person should be paying a business tax, rather than the amount dictated by a residential classification. Council passed the list of reduced taxes, but Fisher promised he would have more to say on the matter in the future. "Something is wrong if a municipality can't determine what is and what is not a business', he remarked. For business reason, none of the sitting members is able to accept an invitation to the Huron Board of Education's inaugural meeting. Clerk Baker will be atten- ding an afternoon seminar in London on the way future municipal financial reports are to be prepared. Before adjourning, Haberer said he had enjoyed the last ten years in municipal ?ffice, and believed quite a bit had been accomplished in that time. He listed the building housing the council chamber and village office, the sewer and water system, the picnic pavilion, the perked -up downtown area, and the up- dating to requirements of the arena. The out -going reeve singled out the contribution Leroy Thiel has made to the com- munity, and wished the best to those remaining on council, and the new reeve and coun- cillor coming in. In an equally gracious speech, Thiel said he felt he had accomplished something in the last 20 years off and on council, and also wished the new council well.

It appeared it made it worth while for the two candidates who took the time to make themselves known here. We are pleased that Mr. John Cornish has returned from the South Huron Hospital, Exeter.

Too few parents at Family Life The subject of family discipline in the Family Life series on Sunday evening was expected to attract many young parents, but the atten- dance was disappointing. Those who were there found it helpful and, worthwhile. Next Sunday's topic is "What's Fair in a Family?" with Dr. R. G. Lomas of Goderich as the guest speaker. There should be older people who would glad- ly babysit free so parents can take advantage of these pro- grams. If you can help, please call a young couple ant offer your services.
