meeting r was ad-

served at 11 p.m.
In spite of complaints
about the cost of the
Oiitario municipal board
'hearing, when it was
learned the township's
lawyer, Michael F.
.Mitchell of Stratford, had.
presented a bill for
$1,913.92, some members
of council decided that

Jack McLachlan, should
be paid for their
assistance.
Counci111or Frank
Falconer, who first
suggested the payments
to the clerk -treasurer and

R.R. 3, Seaforth, be paid
$50 -- "a day's pay", This
was ,seconded by Coun-

Adopt -A -Pet
By Shelley McPhee
A week ago Kim was orphaned. The gentle
feline belonged to a well-to-do widow who
recently decided to make her new home in
Florida. Kim was not included in the plans to
move.
One -and -a -half year old Kim, a pretty white
feline with a friendly disposition, is looking for a
new. home were she will be and cared for.
Kim is • a large and healthy animal and is a
\ perfect example of a well -cared for pet. Her
shiny, long-haired white coat of fur is accented
with two small light grey patches of color above
each eye.
Kim has led a quiet and sheltered life. She has
been spayed and declawed and would make a
perfect house pet in a quiet environment.
She has suffered some emotional problems
because of the upheaval in her life, but with the
comfort of her ball., toy mouse and towel to sleep
on, she is learning to adjust quickly.
Foster parent Helen Bartliff of Clinton said
that Kim needs a good home and someone could
easily win her over in a day or two. But it's
essential that a home is found or this lovely cat
will have to be put to sleep.
Mrs. Bartliff is anxious to find a new master or
mistress for Kim and asks that anyone in-
terested in owning her can call 482-9727. -

ElginThompson, Th p on of
Kippen and Dick Lehnen
of Vanastra, each be
paid $50 for being wit-
nesses. This was
seconded by Mr.
Fotheringham. Mr.
Brown and Mr. Falconer
said they were not in
favour. To break the tie
Reeve Ervin Sillery voted
in favour, remarking,
"They took the time and
were there. I feel I should
go along with this."
Then Mr.
Fotheringham made a
motion that clerk -
treasurer McLachlan be
paid $250. for the ad-
ditional work he had to do
for the municipal board
hearing. This was
seconded by Mr.
,and. Mr. Brown voted in
favour.
The OMB hearing was
held to decide who was to
be responsible for a
debenture debt against
'the Vanastra recreation
centre of $130,000 which
council approved in 1974
with the passing, of a
bylaw. The intention of
the bylaw was for the
debt to be levied against
the ratepayers of the
hamlet of Vanastra only,
as agreed upon by the
Vanastra residents.
However, the bylaw
prepared by a govern
ment official, approved
ack to work
WINGHAM - Following a
rather bleak year in 1980,
Western Foundrey Co.
Ltd., is looking forawrd to
an upswing in business
next year as the
automotive industry
begins to stabilize.
The foundry,
Wingham's largest in-
dustrial employer, is just
back from a one-week,
layoff during which two
of its four production
stations were closed.
However,aPro'sicterit R.W.
LeVan said by this week
most of the•'61 emploYees
laid off should be back,
bringing the work force to
125.
He said the layoff was
necessary to permit
adjustments to the in-
ventory. Basically this
has been a pretty slow
year, Mr. 'LeVan
reported.
He said he hopes to be
back up to two shift next
year, •gradually building
the work force back up to
175-200.
by thebntario municipal
boar. d and finally by
council, placed,
responsibility, for paying
off the centre debt on all
ratepayers in Tucker -
smith township. In spite
of the mistake in wording
the township has been
charging the debt only to
Vanastra residents for
the past six years.
Councillor William
Brown discovered the
mistake recently while
searching through old
records and council
decided to pass a new
bylaw to correct the old
one on the advice of the
OMB. However 83
Vanastra residents
protested the revision of
the bylaw and the OMB
hearing was called. The
fora 1, V. M
Singer who presided over
the hearing said when he
gave his ruling, "I find it
not difficult to approve
this bylaw". However, he
said a "whole flock of •
people" were responsible
for the error in the 1974
bylaw, including the'
OMB, provincial
government officials,
township officials and
council and its legal
counsel.
Councillor William
Brown stated one of the
candidates campaigning
in the election was saying
that he (Brown) was
responsible for the OMB
hearing and it had cost
over $3,900. Councillor
Fotheringham, who is
seeking the deputy reeve
position, along with Mr.
Brown, said he was the
one who was making the
statement. Mr. Brown
said, yes, he had caused
the' hearing but that it
was necessary to clear up
a mistake made by the
1974 council.
Reeve Sillery said,
"You can't estimate the
damage tb the township
that the hearing ',has
caused.'
Councillor . Frank
Falconer said to Reeve
Sillery that council in 1974
was "short-handed" and.
the trouble you got into;
you deserved". Mr.
Sillery a`slstcd what. he
•
*neeAt,.,., 'Falconer
�d 1 Fowlie said, W e 1 wi a ha.d
quit and you ,never
replaced him. You were
pushing things through
short-handed.' (Coun-
cillor Vince Fowlie of
Vanastra had resigned
his seat over the
debenture debt being
charged to Vanastra
residents only.)
Mr. Falconer, who had
served on council before
the 1974 incident but was
not on council that year,
indicated he would have
filled the vacancy if he
had been asked.
Mr. Fotheringham said
he wanted to clear up a
point resulting from a
news story that said he
had never given an ex-
planation as to why Mr.
BrownhadbeenTake if
the Vanastra day care
centre board in 1979 when
he (Fotheringham) was
chairmah of the board..
Mr, Fotheringham said to
Mr. Brown and the press
representative that the
reason he was taken off
was because he had been
digging into other things
in the township and "I felt
if he got digging into the
day care centre all the
day care board members
might quit".
Council finalized its
plans for a party on.
election night which it
will hold at the Vanastra
recreation centre. It was
decided the rental for the
hall. of $150 .and the fee for
the disc jockey, Dale
Parsons, R.R. 2, Kippen,
for $140 should be paid out
of the township's general
funds and the profit from
the bar to go to the
recreation centre.
Council agreed to
donate $100 to minor
hockey -- the Clinton
house league -- to help in
the purchase of sweaters,
socks and such as the
result of a request from
one of the coaches, •
George Townsend of R.R.
4, Seaforth.
Approval was given to
cFW tion aired -or,
Diane Durnin, to request
the government to
provide a person with
salary paid 100 per cent
at no cost to the township,
to study for one year the
programs provided at the
recreation centre and
their value.
Eldon O'Brien, R.R. 5,
Clinton, was hired at $18
per hour to blow snow at
the 'recreation centre to
clear the drives and
parking areas, as
