PLENTY OF PIES - Mildred Kerr cuts one of the dozens of home- made pies that were served to the 500 people who attended the an- nual Kippen United Church fowl supper held in the Brucefield church. Hensall and district news Velma Robinson Phone 262-3205 Council given final Centennial . • • Harold Knight presented the wind- up report of the Hensall Centennial Committee to the last session of the 1983-85 council. Knight said the com- mittee had built up a bank account of approximately $15,867 through being gix 2n 50 percent of the profits of the organizations staging various events such as barbecues and souvenir sell- ing during Centennial weekend. (He could not give exact figures, as two cheques are still outstanding). • After asking for suggestions from the public on how to spend the money, the Committee had found most pro- posals either too expensive or un- workable. Dr. John Goddard and Rob Cameron had researched the possibility of electrifying the bell to make it ring out as it had with bell ringer Ernie Davis, but this proved unfeasible. The clock and carillon- •• were chosen instead. The expenditure of $12,140 for the clock, tapes and lighting, a $950 pla- que, and the $413 cost of binding the guest book left $2,300. The Committee decided at its final meeting to donate this to paving the parking lot at 'the Community Centre. A letter from the town of Durham asking support for a motion re- questing the Ontario government to amend the school hoards and collec- tive agreements act to make teachers' walk -outs or strikes and school Tock -outs illegal, and stipulate that when negotiations fail matters will be settled by binding arbitration, precipitated a discussion on the right to strike. Neither Cecil Pepper nor Jim Robinson supported the motion. Pep- per said he had mixed feelings; he was not in favour of unions, but wondered if their right to strike should he taken away. Robinson said people should have the right to withdraw their services. The motion was supported by Irene Davis and Dick Packham. Davis felt report very strongly that teachers should not be allowed to strike, adding she was not in favour of unions "as they are nothing but troublemakers". The motion did not pass. Other members of council agreed with Robinson's proposal to write a letter to the ministry of the environ- ment citing council"s concerns about the implications of the spills hill. which would make municipalities liable without recourse in many situa- tions no matter -Who was at fault. PUC manager Lorne Archer had submitted the requested report show- ing the cost of putting mercury street lights on existing poles fronting Highway 4 to serve the annexed sec- tion would be about $300 each, depen- ding on the length.of the arm, as com- pared to $3,000 each for new poles and fixtures. The report will be sent to MTC. A 1985 census report included with the agenda shows that Hensall's population has growp from 973 two years ago to a current 1,072. Works superintedent John Baker will check into the drainage problem on Janet Sangster's property. Councillors -elect Peter Groot and Leonard Hoffman sat in on the coun- cil session. In a graceful speech before adjour- ment, out -going Reeve.Flarry Klungel said he had truly enjoyed the last three years, and "felt sad" he had to leave. He congratulated Robinson on his election victory, and said that on looking over the slate he was assured Flensall will have an excellent coun- cil for the next three years.
