seniors plan
• music night
By JOY SCHEIFELE
AILSA CRAIG
The Craigwiel Activity
Centre Committee is hoping
that all music lovers will find
their way to the AiIse Craig
Town Hall this Friday
evening as they plan a
special "Music Night" for
the community.
Several months ago they
arranged for the Sweet
Adelines from London to
come out as well as several
local groups including the
Charlton -Shipley Orchestra
and the George Lee Trio.
And to keep the toes a tap-
ping scottish and tap dancers
will also take part as well as
having piano and vocal solos.
The committee has been
busy of late as they have
provided the seniors in the
community with a variety of
activities. Most en-
thusiastically received was a
trip to the Stratford
F'estival Theatre to
see "Loves Labour Lost"
recently. A van full of local
seniors took the afternoon off
to enjoy the Shakespearean
play and supper out.
From a glance at the
November calendar, it
doesn't look as if things are
slowing down. Shopping trips
to London plazas, game
nights, slide shows, movies
and a Junior Talent Show are
all being lined up as the
weather calls for more
"closer to home events".
The past season saw the
Shuffleboard courts
providing fun and fellowship.
Reeords show that Harvey
Morley proved the high
scorer in a ten game series
with Cy Morley close on his
heels with the second highest
score. Evelyn McNaughton
gave chase with the third
highest score, and awards
are to be presented to the
three shortly.

townships will continue to
share fire protection.
The announcement was
made Thursday night
following a meeting of
municipal officials called by
the Seaforth Firemen's
Association.
It was the second meeting
called by the firemen in the
town. hall and attended by
the mayor and the clerk of
Seaforth, the reeves of
Ilibbert, Hullett, McKillop
and Tuckersmith, the fire
board representatives from
each, and a number of
firemen.
Because the meeting was
held in camera, a press
release was read to the press
representative waiting at the
town hall door: "The town of
Seaforth and the townships
of McKillop. Tuckersmith,
Hibbert and Hullett are
pleased to announce that
they have resolved their
major differences and will

two meetings.'
The dispute between the
town and the townships
arose over a year ago with
threats of court action to
solve the problem of
maintenance costs of fire
hydrants. The an-
nouncement by Seaforth
council in May that it was
opting out of the fire
agreement it had with the
tonships when the
agreement came up for
renewal at the end of the
year, intensified the anger
on both sides.
An Ontario fire marshal's
officer had reportedly ad-
vised the town officials to set
up their own fire department
and sell fire protection w the
townships. When this
protection was offered to the
townships they refused it and
maintained they would set
up their own fire department
s'
with the equipment owned by
the fire board The town
would lose all its equity in
the equipment. including two
fire trucks and a tanker,
when it opted out at the end
of December.
When hope was all but
abandoned that the two
groups would ever get
together, the firemen
stepped in. They attended a
meeting of each side and
listened to their presep-
tations.• However. 'proud of
their efficient fire depart-
ment, the firemen did not
want to splinter their
number..
Pressured by - their
firemen and their ratepayers
the two antagonists, who
previously seemed able onl
to agree to disagree,
emerged from the meeting
with big smiles.
