Despite the mess, the PUC has placed a bench in front of the building for the town's senior citizens. It is hoped that the antics of the local youth do not ruin this. People who are unable to cook for themselves, or those who are shut-ins will be receiving a useful service in the Zurich area with Meals on Wheels. The Zurich Citizens' News explained that the co- ordinator of the project is Tanya Erb and meals will be served on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the price of $1.40. Despite an accident last week, the St. Marys arena will resume construction. The accident occurred when two steel tresses which formed the framework, collapsed last Wednesday morning. The St. Marys Journal - Argus reported that one workman, Roger Campbell of London sustained a broken leg when he. fell some 35 feet to the ground. Another four men also fell when the trusses collapsed. Architect, Norman Schuller of London said, "It was strictly a shop accident." He noted that the trusses gave way when they were being installed and he made referrals to the fact that the entire steel structure did not collapse. The bent trusses have been removed and, new ones are ready to be installed. Engineers are presently working on a report of the accident, and there are in- dications that it was caused by faulty installation. Schuller said that the ac- cident, would , not cost .the arena any more and only a few days had been lost from the work schedule. Kincardine and District Secondary School students were particularly concerned over the separation'of Quebec when they met in a discussion with Post Master General J. J. Blais. The Kincardine News reported that Blais is one of the members of the Federal travelling caucus and visited the high school students last Monday. Blais said that Quebec could probably survive on its own, but the standard of living wouldbe lowered. He feels that French Canadians are afraid of the negative reaction from- other Canadians if Quebec should separate. He also explained to the students why their mail can be delayed. He noted that he's never heard of anyone losing a piece of mail but pointed out examples where letters have been delayed, one by 241 days. The Listowel Banner reports that Atwood farmers are demanding full com- nitrog-�en solution, which spilled out as a result of the accident. The Mitchell and District ire Department was called o the scene and they washed the solution down into the town drains. Only a few hours later reports of dead fish were realized behind the Stacey Bros. plant. At first the death of many fish and foul odor around the river was blamed on sewage which had been dumped into the river from the Mitchell • lagoon but tests have cleared this and the blame has been put on the nitrogen. The Brussels council is still continuing its see -sawing, and thi's week the Brussels Post reports that the council saw the re -appointment of councillors Tom Pletch and Malcolm Jacobs. The two councillors had previously resigned following the rehiring of Clerk Bill King. After a considerable .amount of disucssion on the matter, including the suggestion of calling by- elections for new replacements, it was decided that the councillors acted too *hastily on their resignations. Both councillors noted this in letters sent to the council ' to propose their re- appointments. Anyone picking up the Goderich Signal -Star this week may ' think they've gotten a different newspaper. Well they have, The Signal -Star has just received a new facelift and 'now has new headline photograph and lay -out • styles.

While community support was taken into ac - 410 count, the board members discovered that interest payments and additional painting costs must also be incorporated. - Some $2,811 has ac- cumulated over the past two months from the bank loans that was used in the con- struction of the new arena. long with the prime interest payments another $7,532 will be needed to pay for the cost of painting. These costs will be eligible for some Wintario grants but the interest payments will not be. The subject of water meters was, dropped in Exeter when the PUC learned that it would cost $200,000 to install them. The Exeter Times - Advocate reported that the meter installation was considered after some people complained about their flat rate bills. Many felt that they did not use that much water as others and therefore should haven't to pay the same costs. The $200,000 would have provided meters for some 1,483 people and if it was financed over a 20 -year period would cost $469,838.
