The Goderich Signal-Star, 1973-10-11, Page 16PAG* $A OODERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1973 SOFTBALL The 'boys and girls that were on the winning teams in the Softball games in Colborne Township this summer are requested to meet at the Carlow Hall this Thursday evening at 8 p.m. when the trophies will be presented to the winners. CHRISTMAS COUNTRY FAIR Colborne Township's annual two big days are fast ap- proaching. In a little under a week (from time of reading this) carloads of visitors from many parts of Western Ontario and Michigan and even further, it is expected, will converge on the little hamlet of Carlow, seven" miles norht-east of Goderich, to enjoy the "Fair" that is still country style in a country hall showing what country people can still do with a lot of co-operation from the whole community. To a lot of people who came to the "Fair" in the early years, the "Fair" means crowd, bot- tle -necks, jostling, etc.. However this is not so these past two years since the show has been an all day show instead of only afternoon and evening. A good system of regulating the crowd, which now comes more evenly and spread out, has been supervised by Craft Group member Art. Dawson of Meneset Park, who keeps the crowd going the same way throughout the Hall. Only, a limited number are allowed up- stairs at a time so that the visitors have a much more en- joyable time and they see what they have come to see. Approximately 20 permanent residents plus about eight sum- mer residents along with several with Township connec- tions who have been helping with the "Fair" since its begin- ning are expected to exhibit their crafts. To this number"' as .in former . years are added several outside craftsmen, carefully handpicked by the committee from the many who ask each year to come: These outsiders are picked to supply something different than the -residents can supply, and so they are featured attractions which are a drawing card for the "Fair." These outsiders do much for the Township because they advertise the "Fair" in their_ localities. ' and _so:bring _. many interested visitors. Contrary to what was believed earlier, the baking is to be 'handled as in former years, it is hoped by Mrs. Ber- nard Fisher. Any Township resident who is interested in helping by baking is' asked to contact Mrs. Fisher at 524-9873 at meal time or after 9 p.m...Bakers are needed.

It was decided to _.host a Country Party for the eighth meeting which would include variety dishes and the Home Economist will be invited for this meal.

The Composition of the Court of Revision to hear complaints regarding the South Storm Sewer project will be discussed by the Administrative Commit- tee when it meets tonight in the council chambers. Councillor Elsa Haydon told Town Council at its regular meeting last ''Thursday evening than in her opinion, town coun- cillors should not sit on the Court of Revision in this in- stane. The law provides that citizens who could qualify to sit on council may form the Court of -'Revision in matters such as this. The date of the Court of Revision• is Wednesday, November 7 at 7 p.m. in the council chambers. Montgomerys on Cariteron Street .has been resolved. The stop wort t'order on the Minshall's home addition has been lifted and the project has been approved by the tow's building inspector, • Roy Breckenridge. - Bids will be called to pave Brock Street this fall, Town Council agreed last Thursday. A petition from Brock Street residents complained of the street's condition since this summer's work and at a special public works committee meeting held at 10 a.m. October 3, the committee agreed to ask council to consider paving the street this fall. The Brock Street paving project had been deleted from the 1973 program but because of the large number of com- plaints, it was decided that something should be 'done - to alleviate the situation. Decision was reached at last week's council meeting to open Suncoast Drive to Highway 21. This has become a necessity since the proposed construction work under the Winter Capital Project budget will block off Eldon Street, leaving only one outlet for that area of town, South Street. Estimated cost is $2,000 and will be. done' when all legal aspects are considered so that the municipality will not be subject to any liability. The Public Works committee feels that a sound policy should be established as to share of cost by the subdividers and the municipality on abutting roads. Committee opinion, seems to be that cost "should be rn a 50-50 basis. In the matter of road con- struction at the south end of Gibbons Street and Suncoast Drive from Gibbons Street to Highway 21, negotiations will be held with Eric Krohmer and Suncoast Estates 'Limited to Recommendations ha made to Town Council stall radios municipality's to Ys well as in fire t the Parka t Deputy -reeve Stan pointed out to his that police cars, PUC (Continued ort et is ld tt Mfr e1 WOO le regi ac11t grit II Toucl vid w Beds foot BSc) ofS by nb Councillor Elsa Haydon has given notice that she believes it is time the town had a bylaw governing the erection offences on private property.
