Recently, two Lioness members along with their bourhood for organizations such as the Heart Foundations when needed and just recently have taken on the sponsorship of the Guides, Brownies and pathfinders. As you can see, it has been a very active year for this relatively new club and hopefully it will be as active in the future in order to continue to Best Wishes A farewell party was held on August 31st at the Vanastra community centre for Rob and Ruth Gates.

Lions On Wednesday Sept. 3rd, the Vanastra and District Lions Club held their first dinner meeting .of the 1980-81 Lions year. A special guest, Lion Paul Rivers from the Goderich Lions Club, was on hand. Lion Paul is a lawyer from Goderich and he talked to the club on •the pros and cons of incorporation of our club. Our new executive along with the guidance of Lion President Tony Jeacock and the par- ticipation of club members, are looking forward to working towards very successful year. rain report appealed By Wilma Oke Tuckersmith Township council held a two hour meeting last week so that representatives of council could attend a Stanley Township council meeting at Varna to appeal the Vanastra drain report which was to be discussed. It is a Stanley drain affecting several landowners in Tuckersmith. Because the number of deer -ear collisions in 1980. has reached record numbers in Huron County, a' con- trolled deer hunt will be held November 3, 4, and 5 in three"` management zones 89, 90 and 91, managed by the Ministry of natural resources. Other reasons given for the hunt is because poachers are taking deer while legitimate hunters are denied that opportunity; archers are taking • few deer; deer hunters can provide' biologists with valuable information which is otherwise impossible to collect (all dead deer -are to' be taken to any one of four stations in Huron for • collection of information) ; deer appear to be increasing in Huron; and the controlled hunter numbers system including landowner preference, is compatible with agricultural prac- tices and rural development. Licences will be restricted to 625, and information available from the ministry of natural resources at Wingham. Council passed again a motion supporting the establishment of a day care centre for handicapped children, such as the mentally retarded, at the Vanastra day care centre. The repeat of the motion was necessary because of the resignation of a former official who was handling the application. Sam Russo, Jr., who was given permission ' at the last meeting to erect a horse stall at 'his place of business at Vanastra for the con- venience of his customers, was refused permission to stable a horse there. Road , superintendent Allan Nicholson reported work has begun on the new bridge (called Bell's Bridge) on Concession 12-13 at Lot 6. He said Union Gas has started the new gas line from Seaforth ter" Hensall along - township road 5 and 6, Huron Road Survey. The line which will stretch -along a 10 -mile: route will be bored under crossroads and trees when encountered. 'Applications for three tile drain loans were approved for a total of $16,400. Accounts totalling $82,878.87 were passed for payment, including Vanastra da_y care, $5,017.38; Vanastra recreation centre, $8,566.42; roads, $45,155.31 and administration, $24,139.76. • Mrs. Linda Dillon of RR 1, Clinton, . was hired for the position of part-time secretary for the township office at a special meeting of council on August • 21.
