Everyone is very excited about our upcoming Bowl-a-rama on June 19, and Strawberry Social on June 26. To show everyone just how talented . and special our residents are, we ask - 'ed a few of them to be our entertain- ment for our Opening Celebration. Lloyd McDougal whistled a tune for us and Theodore Gray played the piano while Lorne Johnston accom- panied him on the violin. We had a wonderful time and ended our celebration off with a sing -song after Carol Gascho and Lorne Johnston got us in the singing mood with their duet "The Gay Cabellero." This past week was filled with many fun activities for our ents. On Monday, June 2, the nursi g home residents held a welcoming party for Mr. Roland Grenier. Welcome to Queensway "Roily".

Also on Wednesday the residents and staff at Queensway held a bridal shower for Sandra Tower who is a cook at our home. We had a very nice time and we hope that our gifts will be useful.

HENSALL 262.2728 Ontario CLOSED MONPAYS Our 41st Year OPEN ortienr NIGHT 'I<< P '•' Ti(RPt AC( TO Bur APPtiANCES Approve pion for motel Times -Advocate, Juno 11, 1966 Tenants promised support An eight- delegation attend- ed the r June meeting of Hen- sall council to present a petition from the tenants of the Elizabeth Court Apartments asking council's support in opposing the proposal by owner Don Crich to turn the 36 -unit building into condominiums. All tenants, ex- cept one who is in hospital, had sign- ed the petition. Dorothy Kipfer said she was con- tent to remain a tenant, but did not want to buy her unit. Among the com- plaints mentioned by other delegates were lack of soundproofing, no in- dividual heat controls in the apart- ments, smelly, undersized garbage bins, no security in the building, and no improvements for a long time. A letter sent to all tenants had quoted a sale price of 844,000 per unit. One woman said many of the tenants had sold their homes to get rid of the responsibility of ownership, and did not want to own their apartments now. Jack Davis Holdings, acting as agent for the owner, has scheduled two meetings with the tenants, to be held in the community centre on June 19 and 15. The first is to discuss proposed im- provements and details of the pur- chase plan. A professional con- diminium manager will attend the se- cond to answer questions. Reeve Jim Robinson assured the delegation they had council's upport. He advised them to all come out to the two meetings and raise the issues they had brought before council. Councillors indicated their intention of also attending the meeting. Jim Bozzato came to the session to get council's reaction to tentative plans for a ranch -style 10 to 16 unit motel on his property at the northeast corner of Highway 4 and King St., with access on King. He also wanted to know what grants would be available for the project. Clerk Betty Oke advised him to con- tact the provincial ministry of tourism and recreation. If they ap- prove the plan, they can recommend assistance through the Ontario Development Corporation. Bozzato said if the project goes through, he will hire "local hammers and nails and keep business in town, no outside contractors." Councillors agreed a motel would be an asset to the village. They assured Bozzato of their willingness to help, and wished him luck. Works superintendent John Baker reported he is awaiting to hear again from Ross Jackson of the MTC with an engineer's report and a price estimate before doing anything more to get King St. resurfaced from the post office to Highway 4. He is work- ing on,theElizabeth St. sidewalk from Ij ghway 84 to George Beer's corner, and next on the list is Queen from the nursing home to Wellington, and from Brock to Elizabeth, on the north side. Councillor Butch Hoffman inform- ed council that a knocked -down 12 by 15 foot construction shed he and Baker had taken to the landfill site to be erected and used for the dum, at- tendant had been stolen. Amor( from the BIA said a tourist booth staffed by SWOTA will be set up in the Village Walk for 10'weeks this summer. The BIA has cancelled plans for a chicken barbecue in conjunction with the Fiddlers' Contest because of high costa and minimal potential profit. • A severance application from Bob Rowcliffe to enlarge lots.4 and 5 and create another lot on Yark Creacent- Unit IV UCW Nan Britton read a poem "God in Every Sunrise" to open the June meeting.
