At the time it was decided that fire fighting would conflict with the policemen's other duties and officers on the fire brigade would ask to resign. However, this week the St. Marys Journal -Argus reported that the town council decided that they would allow Sgt. Robert Dundas to remain as an active volunteer fireman, provided that Chief Ed Matheson agrees to this. Sgt.• Dundas has been a member of the firefighters for the past 10 years and holds the position as captain and the volunteer department were not happy about the previous decision; that they would lose Dundas. Council now plans to send a letter to Chief Matheson asking for his reconsideration on the matter. Under the Ontario Police Act, the police chief determines whether an officer can serve in both capacities. The Wingham Advance - Times reported this week that Fred Porter of Leopold Street in 'Wingham won't have his Christmas display in front of his home this year. " His display which included hundreds of different pieces has drawn crowds in previous years and Porter has been receiving calls from as far away as Sarnia, asking if the 'wonderland" will be set up this year. Porter told the Advance - Times that he would love to be able to set it up again, but it is nearly impossible without help.

Nelson is a Goderich native and previously preachedin Seaforth and St. Andrew's Church in Clinton. Gwyn Whilsmith and Ron Bogart were honored in Exeter recently as citizens of the year. The Exeter Times - Advocate, reported that Mrs. Whilsmith was the recipient of the 1977 award for her work as a writer, town hall proponent and church leader. It was. noted that her com- munity interest runs from the children through to senior citizens. Ron -Bogart received the other 1977 award for his work as a finance chairman for the South Huron Rec Centre and as.coach of the Exeter Hawks who took the Ontario championship this year. His football team at SHDHS also reached the conference final. Clerk Eric Carscadden was also honored at the civic banquet. After 29 years Carscadden will be retiring at the end of January. The Kincardine News reported that Unit two at the Bruce Generating Station at the Nuclear Power Plant had to be shut down for a day and a half last week and has been running at 730 megawatts instead of 750 megawatts for the past five days. The reason for the shut -down was caused by 120 tons of fish which, plugged up the unit. • The fish were attracted to the warm water, which is discharged from the unit. They piled up against the screen and caused the water level to drop at the unit. The 120 tons of fish were netted by a Southampton commercial fisherman who has been 'contracted by Hydro. The fish have no, commercial value but inquiries have been made as to their use as fertilizer or feed at some local mink farms. However, so far no one is interested and the fish are now being dumped at the plant's waste disposal site.
