Hay continue
drain debate
Former Hay ' township road
superintendent Karl Haberer dropped
in to the first regular April session of
Hay council to talk about the propos-
ed clean-out of the Zurich drain. He
said many people were in favour of "a
decent job", including lowering the
culverts, and taking the clean-out to
the first sideroad south of Zurich.
Reeve Lionel Wilder, back that day
from a Florida vacation, said Hay
had been waiting patiently for the
past year for a signed petition, but
Zurich wanted to wait until it had
received the Ausable Bayfield Con-
servation Authority's final report on
the drain. He said he plans to meet
with Zurich Reeve Bob Fisher this
week, and find out Zurioh's response
to the ABCA report.
Wilder said drainage
superintendents Haskins and Hodgins
could be asked to look at the drain,
and they could recommend an
engineer's report. A repair petition
would have to contain the names of at
least 60 percent of property owners,
Wilder said, noting that Hay had a
policy of not initiating petitions itself.
Council decided not to contribute to
a $20,000 reserve fund being set up by
the Exeter and area fire board. As
Hay is a member of a number of fire
area boards,•Wilder suggested that
Hay set up its own reserve. Coun-
cillors agreed, but no further actign
was taken at the meeting. Hay'
of lits.-SU6,755r•

reserve) is $7,005.
Councillor Murray Keys, who
represents Hay on the Exeter board,
said Exeter is contemplating the pur-
chase of an aerial fire truck at an
estimated cost of $198,000.
"We're out of the woods for this
year, but if the fire marshal recom-
mends the acquisition, the whole Ex-
eter fire department will go for it",
Keys said, adding that such a pur-
chase would be of no benefit to the
township.
Dashwood's request for $900 to
$1,000 to erect street signs was turn-
ed down.
Seven preliminary applications for
erosion control, measures along the
shoreline were approved. Council will
consult with engineer Burns Ross and
the township lawyer to determine
what is meant by inspection of the
work in progress by qualified, com-
petent inspectors, and what the
township's liability would be if work
was not done properly.
Wayne Meidinger and Richard Erb
came to the session to back up a writ-
ten request from the Zurich Lions
club for council approval of an out-
door bar to sell beer at the Hay
township ball park on June 20, 21 and
22. Approval was granted, with the
provision Hay township accepts no
liability.
Tenders willbe called for the sale
of the old fire tanker truck purchas-
ed by Hay and Stanley townships.
Representatives from both councils
will meet on May 5 to open the
tenders.
Road superintendent Ross Fisher
met Tuesday with officials from MTC
and the company that applied tar and
chips to the second concession to ex-
amine the heaving of the road surface
now that the frost is coming out of the
ground.

Sy MARY CHISSILL
woman from Walpole Island, felt the
native people were poorly
represented in Presbytery and Con-
ference meetings. She feels that
Christian Church has a stablizing ef-
fect on her people and is very impor-
tant to their community.
Joyce Dowson gave an interesting
talk on her vacation in Venezuela,
"The Gateway to South America",
and showed photos of the area they
were in.
Members who have good used
clothing they no longer need are ask-
ed to set it aside for Mission Services.
A bale will be packed in May. Five
dozen cookies are being donated for
Varna
The sixth and final meeting of the
Parr Line Manner Minders was held
at Eleanor Coleman's home on March
31. Robyn Norman opened the
meeting and we repeated the 4-11
pledge.
We visited the Bluewater Rest
Home, where Mrs. Bonnie Keller
guided us around. We learned a lot
about the interesting things the
residents do at the home.
After returning to our leader's
home, we discussed dating - how you
ask for a date, how you should refuse
a date, curfews and other topics. Julie
Consitt, assistant leader, led a ques-
tion and answer session about dating.
Ali the members enjoyed learning
about "Etiquette for the 80s.",
Press reporter Julie Consitt
Correspondent's note: Julie has
been an excellent press reporter,
delivering her- report regularly in
good time. I hear of boys who took this
club and enjoyed it.
There were 10 tables in play at the
Orange Lodge Euchre last Friday
night, April 4. High prizes were won
by Anna Wilson and Margaret Hayter
(playing as a man). Low prizes went
to Margaret McClymont and Scott
McAsh. Draw prize winners were
Doris Wilson, Frank McClinchey,
Mary Coleman and Myrtle Taylor.
Margaret Hayter was the program
convener for the April meeting of
Varna U.C.W. on Thursday evening,
assisted by Joyce and Margaret
Dowson. The importance of hands
was one focus of the devotional.
Margaret Dowson read a poem
"Spring Cleaning".
Margaret Hayter read about the ex-
periences of two native Indian
women as reported in Mandate
magazine. One who was a spiritual
leader among her peoplelb the Peter-
borough area told of her distress in
not being able to give communion to
her people in their native language
- because she was not ordained,
although she had done so for years
previously. The other, a young
meet
the coffee stations at Conference
U.C.W. in Stratford next week. Julie
Webster was again hired.to mow the
church lawn. Lunch will be served to
the Huron Historical Society on May
29.
A social time over a delicious lunch
followed the meeting.
