Mr. Harry, Hartlelb, Lon- don, accompanied by his solicitor Randy Evans, ap- peared before council to seek a building permit to add six feet of living space onto a structure in Dashwood he is using as a sununer residence. Building superintendent Hubert MWer bad ordered the carpenter hired to do the job to cease work until the owner had obtained the necessary permit. Reeve Lionel Wilder ex- plained that the building is not assessed for tax purposes, but is considered a storage shed, not a habitation. Hartleib said he was willing to have Miller dig down and see if the footings were the re- quired depth. If they did not conform to the building code, he expressed his willingness to rectify the matter. Wilder said he must also get party standards by-law, the township can not dictate the 'type of building to be con- structed, but Wilder said "what is done should be done properly." A discussion later in the meeting led to a decision to issue the building permit sub- ject to compliance with the Ontario building code and county health department regulations.

We ap- preciated that she came on short notice, as our schedul- ed speaker, Henry Baker, had suffered a broken leg on Mon- day in a fall from a ladder. &ci learned that geraniums are native to South Africa and Australia, but are grown in all parts of the world. Jean recommended a soil mixture containing course sand and perfite. Varigated varieties especially need bright light to bloom, pansy varieties do well with some light shade. Because she is moving to England her plants were for sale. There were many varieties, including scented geraniums. Bernice Reid conducted the business.
