Such a vote is re- quired by law. Bengough said he has people willing to "build, lease or sell a store for LLBO". Reeve Harry Klungel said Hensall had tried before, but was turned down because of the proximity of outlets in Zurich, Exeter, Seaforth and Clinton. Bengough replied there were no guarantees, but a vote had to be held before any further steps could be HENSALL & DISTRICT COMMUNITY CENTRE 262-3206 Arena Activities Nov. 14 - Nov. 20 Wednesday Moms and Tots 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. Minor Hockey 5:30 - 9:30 p.m. Thursday Moms & Tots 10:30 - 11:30 a.m. 2:30 - 3:30 p.m. Hensall Juveniles vs Wingham Juveniles 8:15 - 9:45 p.m. Friday Figure Skating 5-7p.m. Rec Hockey Tournament Saturday No minor hockey No public skating No power skating Rec Hockey Tournament Sunday No public skating No juvenile game Rec hockey tournament Rec hockey 7 - 11 p.m. Monday Minor Hockey 5:30 - 9:30 p.m. Tuesday Figure Skating 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. Hensoll Broomball 8:45 - 10:45 p.m. r taken.

Works superintendent John Baker received one reply to an ad for sidewalk snow removal this winter. The village will enter into an agreement with John Hamilton to keep the sidewalks from Highway 4 to Shaw's Dairy Store and around the school clear from December 1, 1984 to March 31, 1985. Hamilton will supply labour and equipment and charge $35 per hour while working. He will receive a daily standby fee of $20 when the equipment is not in use. Council accepted Baker's recommendation to purchase a two-way radio unit at a cost of $2,356.90. The equipment has been tested and works well; communication is still good atdistance between the municipal office and the dump.

Assistant clerk Kim Marsden and another delegate will attend the drink- ing/driving countermeasures conference in Toronto later this month. Council met m special ses- sion on October 22 for three hours to recommend that the county collect tax arrears and arrange tax sales, and to authorize the delegation to the Toronto conference on drink- ing/driving. • Frayne hopes to remain The chairman of the Huron County Board of Education hopes to continue in that spot for another year, but an- nounced he will not chair any meetings where the question of Catholic high schools is the main issue. Chairman Eugene Frayne, RR 3 Goderich, told trustees at their November session that he would let the vice- chairman sit as his replace- ment at such meetings. Frayne is the Catholic school supporter's represen- tative on the public school board. He represents the north half of the county while Dennis Rau of RR 2 Zurich represents the south half of the county. The board is going to monitor the question of exten- ding funding to Catholic high schools beyond Grade 10. It is also having administration prepare briefs to be presented to the province's three com- missions being set up to in- vestigate the issue. Locally, the Huron -Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board has set up a committee of trustees as wet as community members t.• determine whether or not it should go ahead with a Catholic high school. Vice-chairman Art Clarke of Wingham said he will re- " seek that spot. Education committee chairman Frank Falconer of RR 5, Clinton and manage- ment committee chairman Dennis Rau also want to re- tain those positions. However, personnel com- mittee chairman John Jewitt of Londesboro made no com- ment about staying on in that role. Trustee Graeme Craig of RR 1, Walton said he would like to be personnel commit- tee chairman.

The amazing Lennox Pulse, the most efficient gas furnace available. is os much os 98% efficient. Now, a new series of Lennox furnaces, the 80% efficient Conservator Three, is available in either natural gas or propane models. It will fill the need for a furnace that combines economy of operation with a modest price tag. Next to the super -efficient Lennox Pulse, we think it's the wisest choice for today's heating needs.

Luann Taylor was the reci- pient of many lovely gifts at a well attended bridal shower in the Stanley Complex last Wednesday evening. Shirley (Mrs. Wayne) Taylor welcomed everyone and an- nounced the program numbers. The Stephenson girls, Shelley, Cheryl and Suzanne sang, accompanied by Shirley Hill at the piano. Barb Consitt as Joyce and Elaine Stephenson as Ron were the principal actors in a skit portraying what was go- ing on at the Taylors in preparation for the wedding. The biggest problems seemed to be the quilts all over the house - the result of Joyce's talents, and the dust from Bev Hill's corn dryer. Highlights of Luann's life and best wishes for her future were recounted in song by Shirley (Mrs. Dan) Taylor and Brenda Dowson to the tune of Camptown Races. An attractive buffet of fan- cy sandwiches and goodies was prepared.and served by Luann's friends and neighbours. Grant Webster had the misfortune to twist and break his ankle in jumping off a tractor on Friday. The Consitt gang had a suc- cessful deer hunt with four deer taken.

Final Instalment of 1984 TAXES Due November 15,1984 Groups promise cooperation Hope to change attitudes Ten representatives of various Hensall clubs and organizations responded to assistant clerk Kimberley Marsden's invitation to attend the inaugural meeting of a drinking/driving prevention committee. Kim had been appointed as the council's liaison to establish such a committee in compliance with a request from Attorney General Roy McMurtry. Clerk Betty Oke and members of council ex- cept Dick Peckham (who had a prior commitment) also attended. Some of the devastation caused by drinking drivers was discussed. At least half of all drivers killed each year have been drinking. Late on weekend nights, one of every 12 drivers has been di inking. Every day in Ontario alcohol is involved in the deaths of two people and in 81 motor vehicle crashes; An accident in which alcohol is a factor oc- curs every five and one-half minutes in Canada. A task force set up by Premier Davis recommended trying to change society's at- titude toward the drinking driver: "Drinking and driving is a deeply rooted social and legal problem. The solution is not just increased law enforce- ment or better public educa- tion or stiffer penalties from the courts or changes in the laws. When we come to view the combination of alcohol abuse and automobiles as a hostile act, threatening the lives and well-being of our families, then and only then will we rid ourselves of this affliction", Davis stated. Among the suggestions pro- posed by those present were having a member of the OPP invited to talk to various associations, breathalyzer demonstrations, films and posters. Cubs and Scouts could distribute circulars. Alternative activities could be provided for teenagers; perhaps a film followed by dancing to records and a DJ. Representatives of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Legion, Hensall Block Parents, the parks board and Trustee seeks OPSTA post Huron County Board of Education trustee John Elliott of Blyth is seeking an executive position on the On- tario Public School Trustees' Association (OPSTA) . Elliott has been the board's representative to the OPSTA for four years and has served as an alternate this year. Donald McDonald of Brussels has served as the board's director for the past year and said he is willing to b.eoome the alternate so Elliott could run for an ex- ecutive position.
