Reeve Of Ashfield Will
Seek Office Of Warden
Reeve Cecil !.,lake of Asbfdeld
Township announced at the t .
ship's nomination meeting that the
would be a candidate ger Warden
of Huron County for 1057.
The entire Ashfield [township
council 'VMS gives an acclamation.
This marked the fourth consecu-
tive years for the Ashfield council
to receive an acclamation. The
councillors are Andrew Ritchie,
John Bradley, Donald Macttenzie
and Torn Howard.
The sitting member, Rod :Mac-
Kenzie, and two, new members,
Hugn dvkW'trinney and Reuben Wil-
son were given acclamations for
school trustees.
Following is an account of the
nonunation meeting, as reCorded
by the Luckttow Sentinel:
Chairman Simpson
After receiving. nominations,
Clerk 'Donald M. aimpspn Was ap-
pointed chairman of the ratepay-
ers' meeting with Reeve Blake the
first speaker. He pointed out that
this nad been a difficult year
weatherwise to get work done, and
that they had been unable to get
their road •work grants back or
they would have shown a sub-
stantial balance on the year's oper-
ation. These grants will now be
received in February.
Reeve Blake referred to the
establishment of dumping grounds,
and said he hoped that citizens
would have enough respect for
their Township to use the dumps
and dispose of refuse property.
Gordon Barger later raised the
question of people disposing of
dead animals and weed seeds in
the dump which is. unlawful; also
cement and fertilizer bag which
blow around. Gordon questioned
if some signs would do any good
and the Reeve jocularly replied he
thought a shotgun would be better.
Howard Barger questioned the
location of the site and Telt that
none of the council gnemlbers would
want it so close to their property.
With ever:increasing school at-
tendance enrollment and more
higthway traffic, which demands
school additions and road improve-
ment programs, Reeve Blake said
he was unable to forsee• tax re-
ductions. -
Councillor John Bradley said
that if the inameS of those dumping
weed seeds or animals were given
to Countyofficials, there would.
he action, for there is a penalty
for such infractions.'
The Township's financial state-
ment was beyond •anything he had
ever dreamed of in consideration
cif grants that are to come, and
added that it was the -,bast year
since he had come on the board.
Me. Bradley exl,ended. _the _ best
of luck to Cecil and -said he wasi-
not going to_ co me ua.. against him
for the redveShip.
" .x""i3'.,:kdds Best Wishes
Councillbr Andrew Ritchie added
his best wishes to Mr. Blake and I
said it would be an honor to him -1
self and Ashfield if he coup win,
the warden -ship, and that he would
not stand in his way.
Mr. Ritchie dealt with snow-
plowing, the gravel contract let
at 65c, and the building of two
bridges --one on the 1`2th conces
sion at a cost of $2,800 and the
Graham bridge at -the south end
which -will run close to $17,000.
Councillors Donald MacKenzie
and Toni Howard spoke briefly,
and Howard Barger, the only other
nominee, stated he had no inten-
tion, of standing.
Gives Road Details
- Road Superintendent Herb Cur-
ran gave some detailed- -figures: on
township -road expenditures, in-
cluding snowplowing at a gross
cost of $6,49'7.50, graveling, bridge
building and road widening. Some
of .the latter work was carried, out
at Lanesville and Mr. Curran said
here they.,fbwid out that a bridge
they repaired a couple of years
ago, would better have been blown
up and replaced with a 40 -foot
bridge. -
The province pays 80 per cent
of the cost of bridge building and
50 -per cent on road work and,. snow-
plowing. Mr. Curran said there
would be subsidy grants of about
$1$,000 coming throttgla in Febru-
ary.
School Affairs
Marsloalil Gibso,.i, se s for sehobl
boardber, was called on, and
expressed regrets at the iniafortune
that had 'befallen -Mr. Crozier. Mr.
Gibson invited questions, and Sail-
ing to receive them left the fin-
ancial end of -the report up to the
secretary. -
Richard Kilpatrick, secretari-
treasurer, referred to the state-
ment for a complete financial pie-
' ture.
ie-'ture. Asking if there were any
school questions, . Elmer Graham
said, "There are Iots, but I don't
think anyone had better ask them."
Wilfred Famish commented, "It's
a muddled up affair."
The question was raised if there
would -be any work left for the
Area Board and if the administra-
tion costs would remain the same
for the ten remaining schools, as
for the fifteen that hove been
the Area.
A question as to the secretary's
salary brought the reply from Mr.
Kilpatrick that he received $800
.plus telephone calls and postage,
and that there were no extras or
handouts as had been vaguely
hated by Jaclg Curran.

added. d
Henry MacKenzie, the Town
ship's representative on the Luck -
now District ,Board, felt the sande
way about the tax mate
He said that atter .ehot session
with the contractor and architect
the final payment was made on
the Luekzrn w school, which cost
$280,000. They ended the year
with a 'balance of $1,700.
Mr, MacKenzie referred to the
unnecessary expense ofschool
buses covering the same section
of road. This applies in the case
of the Ripley, 1.4uaknow, Wingham
areas. He felt the Department
shouldedeflne who goes where, but
they don't like to.
The Wingham bus, he added,
comes right into the Lueknow
Area. The Wingham Board says
they are not paying, and the •par
ents say they , are not, aing
to Mr. MacKenzie.
He said he would be glad to
have anyone succeed him at any
time, and paid tribute to the long
and faithful service of A. E. Mc-
Kim who is retiring at the end
of the year.

YOU'RE
NOT
A GOOD
DRIVER
IF YOU CUT IN ON TRAFFIC
Passing cars when there is barely enough
room to avoid oncoming traffic causes count-
less highway accidents. Make certain you
have plenty of time to pull out, pass and
regain your place in line. You will lose only
seconds of time but you may save a life.
