The Listowel Banner
reports that farmers in the
Monkton area have been
complaining that sewage
dumped into the Boyle Drain
from the Milverton sewage
lagoon is polluting the river.
The farmers' suspicions
were confirmed last Tuesday
by the Ministry of the
Environment and the flow
was stopped. Ordinarily the
treated sewage would not
cause any problem but due to
the low water levels this year,
the flow into the Maitland
River was too much.
It was noted that the water
was very dirty, dead fish lay
along the bank and the far-
mers advised others to keep
their livestock from drinking
the river water.
Constable
Harold McKit-
trick, Wingham detachment
of the OPP was presented
with the Commissioner's
Certificate of Valor at Varney
last Thursday.
The Wingham Advance -
Times explained that the
constable won the award for
his bravery during a shooting
incident in Wroxeter on
September 7, 1976. The in-
cident was the result of a
resident of Wroxeter who
threatened to shobt up the
Village of Gorrie. He ' then
shot a hole in the front living
room window of one house
and the porch light of
another. He later returned to
Wroxeter wheie he stationed
himself in the upstairs of his
home and shot at police
from his window.
Constable McKittrick, who
knew the resident well rushed
into the house and was faced
with the rifle and two
members of the household
holding it. He grabbed the
rifle, wrenched it from them
and threw it out the window.
OPP Commissioner, H. H.
Graham noted at the
presentation that, "The
award is made only to an act
or acts of extreme heroism."
The Advance -Times listed a
few warnings to its readers
and writers. Firstly they
reported their disapproval of
joke ads. The newspaper
explained that someone had
asked for an ad stating that a
young man was seeking an
attractive mate.
After the ad was printed in
the paper, the man named in
the ad came to the office and
explained that this was a
practical joke and the person
who placed the ad was acting
under false pretenses.
While the man was very
understanding about the
situation, The Advance -
Times hopes to catch the
prankster and take ap-
propriate legal action against
him.
In other newspaper
problems, the Advance -
Times is asking its
correspondents and members
of organizations who are
writing news for more ac-
curate and comprehensible
copy.
The paper noted that some
copy is impossible to read and
no name or telephone number
is offered for reference. Also,
some copy is brought in only a
short time before the deadline
or is brought in a week after
the event has taken place.
The Kincardine News
reported that the Ontario
Government has taken the
first steps in supporting a
project which could lead to
700 acres of greenhouses to be
located in Kincardine
Township. The houses would
be heated by the warm water
from the Bruce Generating
Station at Douglas Point. If
the project goes ahead as
planned, the greenhouses
could be operating by the fall
of 1978.
The News explained that
the proposal was presented at
a news conference on lay 23
in Toronto. Premier William
Davis and three cabinet
ministers unveiled the

project which was started by
the Kincardine industrial
commission.
Kincardine's new post
office is causing some traffic
congestion and The News
reported that signs or parking
meters will likely be placed
on Durham Street between
Queen and Huron Terrace.
The town council received a
letter from the engineering
firm of B. M. Ross advising
that 15 -minute signs or 30
minute meters be placed on
the street. If these measures
don't work, the letter
recommended widening. ot
the road.
Some controversy has
arisen in Goderich over the
PUC's recent trip to
California. Jim Searls intends
to circulate a petition to try to
get the PUC to hold a public
forum regarding the five day

trip of the 12 members and
their wives to attend the
American Water Works
Association.
According to the Goderich
Signal -Star, the PUC water
department paid the bill for
transportation, food and
lodging. Some members
stayed longer at their own
expense but had their return
ticket paid for.
PUC Office Manager Don
MacMillan said that not all
the expense forms had
returned so the cost of the trip
was unknown. He did note
that last year's trip to New
Orleans cost $6,000 and he
expected that this year's
excursion would cost between
$1,000 to $1,200 per member.
The Signal -Star said that
according to Searls, he didn't
know of any other utility that
sent anyone to the con-
vention. Searls phoned the St.
"Phomas PUC and learned
that the utility there couldn't
afford to attend.
Pythons snakes, llamas,
elephants anel mules will be
moving into Blyth on Thur-
sday, June 2. The animals are
only , part of Canada's only
touring tent circus which will
be putting on its show in
Blyth.
According to The Blyth
Standard the Martin and
Downs Circus ,will present
two shows under the big top
with performances on the
trapeze, juggling, clowns as
well as the circus animals.
The Mitchell Advocate
reported last week that the
townships of Fullarton,
Logan and Hibbert have
decided to run a bookmobile
for ten weeks this summer.
The mobile will run through
July and August and will
carry books to residents in
the townships. Individual
areas in the townships were
established to locate the
mobile and further plans are
to be made regarding the cost
of a card and period of rental
per book.
The Huron Expositor
reported that Seaforth's 1977
tax budget has been set and
the public school supporter
with an assessment of $3,000
will pay $77 more in taxes
than he did in 1976.

percent from last year, to

year's 153.43 mills. Last year
the same public school
supporter paid $459 in taxes.
The Expositor also noted
that one of Seaforth's former
hospitals has been
demolished. The frame house
located on Victoria Street
served as the town's hospital
from 1921 to 1931. In recent
years the house had been
divided into apartments, but
was torn down to make room
for a new eight unit apart-
ment building.
The Exeter Times -
Advocate learned that the
June 4 walkathon for the
South Huron Rec Centre is
going to be one of the biggest
ever staged in the area.
Organizers indicate that
there may be over 500 people
participating in' the 11 -mile
route in the push to reach the
$254,000 total.
One walker, Doug Ellison
has been sponsored $1 for
every mile he completes.
However he will not be
walking in the event, instead
he pl,ans to jog the route and
has been practising daily for
this event.
The fit. Marys council were
unhappy to learn that the
town's lawn bowling
clubhouse and washrooms
still require another $6,000 to
complete the construction of
the project.
The St. Marys Journal -
Argus explained that the
building was origin�I,l•ly priced
at $15,000 and 'now has
jumped to $22,000. The
Agricultural Society has
pledged $4,000 to the facility,
while the' lawn howling and
PARQ have pledged $6,000
each. This leaves a balance of
$6,000 to complete the job.
When asked to make the
grant, the council decided to
defer the decision until their
next meeting so they could
have time to gather more
information on the cost of the
project.
The Journal Argus also
reported that for four years
Fire Chief Don Swan has been
asking the St. Mary's council
for new pumper truck.
Presently the department's
pumper truck is an aging 1957
model and is only in fair
condition. However if
anything broke down in the
truck, parts would be nearly
impossible to get. Parts that
were ordered two years ago
were never received and the
Chief is unsure whether the
truck would even be able to
make the next call.
They Chief also told council
that a 1962 pumper should
soon be replaced and a 1966
tank truck is also in
questionable .condition .. and
'should also be replaced in the
future.
However for now the main
concern is for the old pumper.
When bought, the 1957 truck
cost $19,000 and now a
replacement truck would cost
between $45,000 and $50,000.
The council did not give the
fire department any answer
to the question but deferred
the request until a later date.
