When the ;roup began singing ten years ago, there was a fourth minister with them, Rev. Andrew Lane, formerly with Wesley -Willis United Church here.

No new housing developments: Stanley New housing developments In Stanley Township should be restricted to existing urban areas and non agricultural land, and the number 'of neve houses should be carefully con- trolled, according to most of the nearly 100 people who attended an Urban Development workshop in Varna Tuesday night. The meeting was the fourth in a series of six to draw up a secondary land use plan for Stanley Township. . Township farmer Bev Hill said the question of growth for the township's hamlets shobld be carefully considered. He said people pollution could seriously blight, the areas natural beauty if overpopulation was allowed. He also stressed that increased population meant increased demands for services, and said this could result in an increase in individual farmers' tax load. Former Huron County Warden Anson McKinley told the meeting that "urban areas in a rural municipality never pay their way". He said the secondary land use plan should provide an alternative, if by-laws do not allow the building of new houses along rural roads. The township should consider designating areas where eight or 10 houses could be built, to discourage strip development along existing roads, he said. Township resident Ross Whittaker said if the secondary plan seeks to en- courage new housing developments in the hamlets, then it should contain measures to protect the quiet at- mosphere that attracts people to the hamlets. He said the plan should restrict the development of industry too close to hamlets, and should discourage farmers from installing large dryers arfd other such -equipment• on the fringes of the housing areas. Township resident Glenn Hayter asked if developers of new housing would be responsible for providing_ services to new lots,• or if that was the responsibility of the township. Huron County Planner George Penfold said the Township could take one of three approaches to the problem. He .said the township could buy lots, service them, and sell them at cost to encourage growth in the hamlets. Alternatively, he said, the municipality could provide services and charge the developer directly, or could charge a fee of $1,000 dollars for severance to serviced lots. Normally, he said, providing services to lots "ends up being the responsibility of the developer'. The question of severances for small lots on falx land, a. central concern at previous meetings, was again discussed. In response to a question, from the audience about .the number of people requesting rural' severances, Deputy Reeve Paul Steckle said Stanley Township Council has received about 100 requests for building permits since the Huron County Plan became official in 1974, and that of these "only 12 or 13 have been turned down." "A lot of farm people have wanted to remain on their farms for retirement, keeping a little piece of the farm for themselves. I'll have to be honest and say_we've tried to discourage this", Mr. Steckle said. George Penfold told the meeting there are 68 small scattered lots in the Township without houses on them. He said in addition there are 45 lots of less than 20 acres and 78 lots of 25 to 50 acres that would have to be dealt with in the plan. Audience member Bonnie Ray, who said her request for a lot severance had been turned down recently, told the meeting there was no point in not letting people build on land that was not being used for agriculture. Others in the audience felt fringe lands near Bayfield that are not usable farm land should be declared urban areas in the new secondary plan. In other matters, the consensus among the audience on the question of whether mobile homes should be allowed in the Tuckersmith taxes up 12 Tuckersmith public school ratepayers face a 12 per cent tax increase this year and separate school ratepayers a nine per cent increase.

WALKERTON Township was that the secondary plan should recognize the difference between the large and permanent type of mobile ome, and those that can be easily oved. The audience felt the plan should not allow the second type. The audience also felt the new plan should recognize the existence of buildings of historical interest in the Township. George Penfold said this would allow the Township to delay demolition orders on stich a building for a period of six months, givinginterested people a chance to aoquire the proper.ty for historical preservation. He stressed that the plan would simply recognize such buildings, but would not place restric- tions on changes to them, as has been done in some urban plans. The next workshop, dealing with the Natural Environment and Extractive Resources, will be held in Varna April 12 Hullett council supports lights The Londesboro Athletic Association was given the backing of the Hullett Township Council at Monday night's meeting, to try and get some financial assistance from Wintario and the Ministry of Culture and, Recreation to put up lights at. the ball park. - They needed the backing of council to make application for grants. Council also approved the building of two drains. The Young Drain is a joint e.€fort with Morris Township who had representation at the meeting. A Court of Revision will be held May 2 for both the Young and Verway drains. Burns Ross Associates were accepted by council to do the inspections of bridges in the Township. Two tenders for road gravel were received and council accepted the tender of George Radford Construction of Blyth. The tender of Joe Kerr, Wingham, was 10 cents higher than the Blyth outfit. During the meeting, five tile drain loans and seven building permits were approved. RDS ACREMETER KNOW WHAT 15 GOING ON! Meet Phil Telfer Your Direct • Save MONEY and get RESULTS.

Does one need, a special permit to conduct such a sale, and if so, how do 1 go about getting it? Also, am I allowed to ad- vertise the sale in the paper? As far as we have been_able to determine, no licence or permit is required to conduct a garage sale, as long as it's only run once and doesn't become a regular affair. However we would advise you to contact your local Police office and make sure you're not breaking any parking laws. Such sales can be advertised in advance in your local newspaper.

Last fall We moved from .Saskatoon to Stratford and everything appeared to go smoothly until we discovered that we were missing a rug. We wrote to inform the company about our lost article but after a period of time, when we still hadn't received a reply we wrote again. Still no- reply so we phoned long distance and were told that a claims form had been mailed us but here we are into Spring and we're still waiting on this "magic form." A thorough search by the moving and storage company has failed to turn up any clue as to what happened to your rug.
