Mayor Don Symons reported that the police are keening a record for a month to see how many accidents and charges occur at the Mary and Orange Streets. intersection. There was a request at the last Council meeting to make that intersection a four- way stop. At the next council meeting the report, will be given. When a letter from the Huron County Health Unit saying there would be no change in the system of sewage disposal atBlyth Public School,was tabled at Board of Education meeting on Monday, Blyth trustee R.J. Elliott immediately moved that the Board demand an ex- planation. The letter in question noted: "The Board of Health is recommending no change in the present arrangement for the disposal of effluent at the Blyth Public School until the municipal sewer system has been installed and is operational. This decision is based on past experience with the Blyth School System and supported by the District Director of the Ministry of the Environment." The Board of Education has been pgyaOg to have the holding 'tank of the present sewage system pumped every other day during the school year for the past three years since the Health Unit ordered the weeping bed .portion of tete LI... system sealed and taken out of service. After that happened the Board of Education commissioned an engineering study by the firm of Kyles, Kyles and Garret of Stratford. That produceda report which recommended ' a modified system which could cope with the schools sewage in connection with a close monitoring system. That- study was first presented to the County Board of Health more than two years ago, and was reintroduced last August. The letter informing the Board of no change in. the Health Unit's stance was the 'result of that August meeting. The letter offered no explanation for the' decision, and it was that factwhich prompted Mr. Elliott's motion. "They (the Health Unit)ar+e depriving people from -using the facilities of Blyth Public . School in the summer months," he said, explaining that under board policy the public has use of all schools so long as they meet the basic expenses involved. This usually means a few dollars for a custodian but in the case of the -Blyth School it means the septic tank must be pumped as well. Mr. Elliott said this would result in greater hardship as the village of Blyth is preparing to celebrate its centennial next year and will need the use of facilities such as the school offers. "What are Dr. Mills' reasons?" he asked, referring to Medical Officer of Health for Huron Dr. Frank Mills. He said that when the Board had presented the engineer'splans for a modified system at the August meeting, the members of the Board of Health had indicated they were in . agreement with the proposed solution. Dr. Mills however "reserved his opinion for the com- mittee" according to Mr. Elliott. "What did Dr. Mills tell the Board of Health afterwards?" he asked. The motion passed on Monday calls on the Board of Health to provide a written report on its decision with an ex- planation. . r St. Joseph's P.T.A. to seep "bigger'membership An executive meeting of the Catholic Parente' Teachers Association was held on Wednesday, October 27 at St. Joseph's School.

(News -Record photo) a� Expand camp at Kintail At its meeting last week in Listowel the Hamilton and London Synod of the Presbyterian Church ap- proved a plan for im- provements and expansion at Camp Kintail (on Lake Huron about 20 miles north of Goderich) but turned the problem of raising about $243,000 to pay for the project back to the camp committee. Cirs'truction will be allowed to start when 65 percent of that sum has been raised. Rev. Ed Dowdles, chair- man of the site development committee, said he was disappointed the synod wouldn't approve an assessment of the 50,000 Presbyterians in its eight presbyteries. That would have started the project by next year, he felt, and now' it has been delayed for another year. Original plans called for several buildinpc in five phases at a cost of about $300,000. Changes approved by the synod incorporated, everything including a new dining room, kitchen. chapel. library, health station and office into a single building for $2413,000. According to Rev. Dowdles the project will extend Kintail's camping season and increase its use as a retreat and marriage enrichment centre as well as a camp. At the moment, the com- mittee has $50,000 in hand from the sale of Camp Goforth at Dunnville and $14,000 raised in the past year. It had hoped the synod would levy the 5179,000 dif- ference. Some members doubted the synod had the authority to order the presbyteries to raise the money. others felt alternative, methods of fund raising had not been suf- ficiently explored. vision u ►n e past few months evet`nment has: made some neves to waist the te*tile trade and we have maintained limited production during this time. 1 elieving that we would he able toget enough business to resume a satisfactory bevel of operation but this has not happened."

The plant has been turning out about 300,000 Pounds of yarn per month and operated ona round the clock basis with three shifts seven days per week. At the time of the official opening Mr. Dunbar said that further expansion at Goderich was not out of the question. The company had purchased five acres in the Industrial park which he said they "hoped to use". DRINKING & DRIVING DON'T MIF' ' v Sate driving is a family altair.
