In Stanley Township
Tax arrear interest rises
Stanley ' Township coun-
cillors have decided to raise
interest on both tax arrears
and overdue current taxes.
Two bylaws passed at
council's September
meeting set interest rates on
unpaid taxes at 24 percent.
The new rate takes effect
immediately for tax arrears,
taxes left unpaid from
previous years, and
ratepayers will be officially
notified before the new rate
takes effect on overdue cur-
rent, 1981, taxes, October
first.
Also dealing with tax mat-
ters the council endorsed an
Association of Muncipalities
of Ontario (AMO) resolution
calling for greater provin-
cial tax subsidies on
farmlands.
The resolution.. asks the
province to tax only the farm,
house and about an acre of
land, the remainder of the
land tax to be subsidized by
,provincial grants to the
Amunieipality.
Stanley received a tile
drainage allocation of
$165,000 for,1981. Last year's
.allocation was only $100,000.
A bylaw passed will loan
out $16,800 to three tile drain
applicants and $2,200 will be
loaned to three shoreline im-
provement
mprovement loan applicants.
Three additional tile*•
drainage appllcations'totall
ing $11,700 were accepted.
In other business, council:
Endorsed a Huron County
Federation of Agriculture
resolution calling for lower
interest rates. The resolution
was addressed to the federal
government.
Granted $50 to the Huron
County Plowmen's Associa-
tion.
Was advised by, the
minister of revenue that the
province will not be conduc-
ting a municipal enumera-
tion this year. Stanley clerk
Mel Graham suggested this
may be the province's • first
step towards its planned
three year term for
municipal councils.
Graham suggested many
potential council candidates
may not wish to be tied down
for a three year term.
"If you're going to have a
flexible society," Graham
said of the more frequent
elections, "these (the elec-
tions) are things you have
to do.

Varna Tcelebrates 82 ye
By Mary Chessell
A happy celebration of
Varna Church's 82nd an-
niversary was held on Sun-
day, with guest preacher
George Cowan from
Dungannon -Nile, a former
teacher and Superintendent
of Teachers, leading the wor-
ship service.
He told of his desire to
become a minister when he
was a child,: how he had to
postpone it for lack of money
for university. When he was
at early retirement age, the
call cajn ; again, and he
became a lay preacher, with
many rewarding ex-
periences. His sermon topic
was "Renewing our Faith".
The choirs, under the
leadership of organist Mar -
lone Hayter and Joyce
Dowson, sang a medley of
songs. Brian Chessell on
guitar also accompanied
them and played in duet with
Marjorie. Pete Postill's rich
voice was heard in two solos.
Lovely flowers from local
gardens graced the sanc-
tuary. It was rather disap-
pointing that the church
wasn't filled for this special
service.
Visit museum
We spent Saturday at the
Ontario Agricultural
Museum at Milton. For peo-
ple our age, the displays are
interesting, but it left me
feeling like I belonged in a
museum, as so many things
were a°part of my life as long
as I was home on the faun.
They even have Adam
Beck's travelling "Circus",
a display of labor-saving
electrical machines on a
truck. (If anyone is in-
terested in reading about the
early days of Hydro and the
people who were part of its
history, we would be happy
to lend you the 75th Anniver-
sary edition of; Hydroscope
magazine.) '
Norman and Walter
Smith, who visited the
museum last fall, found a
number of new displays have
1Seen added since then. A
large display of clocks has
just been set up inthe main
building. Soine homes and
barns of early settlers have
been moved to the site, with
more to be added. Develop -

a hole or drive a fence post on your property,
