awarded the Governor -General's Award for
best drama published in 1983.

said Katherine Berg of the Canada Council.
The award will be presented in Ottawa in
the fall.

Chalmers Award for best play produced in
the Toronto area, was commissioned and
premiered (1981) by the Blyth Festival, and
was brought back by popular demand in
1982. It is the touching drama of the struggle
of the Amish people to keep their way of life
and their values in the early 1900s. Quiet

been produced at the Toronto Free Theatre,
and is scheduled for production at the
Manitoba Theatre Centre next seasons.

Hullett holds budget
to 6.3% increase....
• from page 1 -
down from last year's grant of $20,900.
The budget also projects that building
permits will be down $2,355 from last year's
figure of $5,355. Clerk Lear 'said that council
was not looking for as much building this
year, mainly because of 'the economy,
"People just aren't building the way they
were."
The sale of gravel and wood by the
township was projected to be down. $2,7$4
from last year's revenue of $4,284. Clerk
Lear said that there won't be any -sale of
wood . this year because the • property they
took the wood from has been thinned out
enough.
The sale of gravel was also expected to
decline because the township is not drawing
anymore gravel from the main pit they used
last year. They will be developing one in the
southern section of the township instead.
Etpenditures in the township' are
budgeted to increase $51,412to $587,310 from
last year's figure of $535,898.
The, township's.. largest expenditure is in
the area of environmental services; where
they have budgeted $25,000 for the shared
cost of purchasing additional land for the
Blyth-Hullett Waste Disposal Site.
Their share of maintaining the dump also
increased when they agreed to pay 65 per
cent of the operating expenses. The 1984
budget revealed that Hullett Township will
be budgeting an extra $1,764 to • a total of
$6;000 for .the expenses. Last year the
township spent . $4,236 on dump operating

expenses.
Council administration is budgeted to
increase $14,112, from last year's figure of
$45,888 to $60,000. Clerk Lear explained that
with the five per cent. increase in township
employee's wages and the increased cost of
advertising and printing, the budget
increased.
"Each year it gets worse. But we're not
prepared to use all of it ($60,000)," he noted.
The reserve for working funds increased
$10,000 over 1983 to $30,000. The clerk said
that council wanted to:increase the reserve
fund because there is the possibility that the
township's $30,000 support grant from the
provincial government will be phased out.
The township's fire budget is projected to
decrease $7,682 from last year's expenditure
of $47,682. This year the township isn't going
to be faced with large capital expenditures
for the Seaforth and District Fire Hall and
the Blyth Fire Track. Clerk Lear added that
it's projected that fire calls will increase;
based on last year's figures.
This year the township budgeted $46,000
for winter control. This figure is up $29,090,
from last year's $16,910 costs. The mild
winter, Huron County experienced in 1982-83
was the reason for the difference in the.
figures.
Planning and development expenditures
are budgeted to rise in, the area of planning.
The budgeted figure is $5,000, up from last
year's actual figure of $3,376. Clerk Lear
explained that the increase is due to,. the
township's implementation of a secondary
plan, which is being drawn up. •
