"The business is really good. It couldn't get much better. We were very, very busy Saturday,"said Jean Reid. The restaurant was so busy, in fact, that her husband Jerry and two children Dale,17, and Douglas, 13, closed down the restaurant on Sunday to take a breather and do more work on the restaurant. Mrs. Reid says she has worked in a restaurant before but calls owning your own restaurant a "whole new ball game". The part of the restaurant business she likes best is meeting the people. The former Varna residents acquired the lone Londesboro restaurant from former , owner Darlene Duquette. Mrs. Reid said the restaurant was attractive because it also included three-bedroom living accommodations. She added that the business was something her husband could handle due to his disability. Both her and her husband share the cooking duties. Before re-openingthe restaurant, they did some minor renovations such as moving equipment and painting the ceiling.•For the most part, says Mrs. Reid, they gave it a good general cleaning. Mr. and Mrs. Reid have also decided on a new name for the quaint eatery. It will be known as the Hillcrest Restaurant and Gas Bar because it is on the crest of the hill on the south side of the village. The restaurant will offer a daily special. and .a breakfast special as well . as homemade soups, pies. and muffins. The hours the restaurant' will be open are 7, a.m. to 9 p.m. everyday except Tuesday. - ;8r CLINTON NEWRECOR , WEDNESDAY, SEPTVIVIWM *10, --Page 7 Bible presented to graduate By DoraShobbrook LONDESBORO - Rev.

BLYTH - Dogs running loose, dogs fertiliz- ing • neighbors' lawns, • barking . dogs, unlicensed dogs - Blyth Council is concerned about the lack of control over the .village's canine population and they're ready to take action. "Dog control is a mockery now. We need action, "Councillor Bill Howson told other councillors at their September meeting. Council agreed that dog control had been •fax over the past few months and both the animal control officer's workload and the fining system needed to be bolsteredup, Council cited three main problems with the system - few dogs are beim captured; hose. that are captured are not impounded because no facility is available, and dog. owners are not being charged the $25 fine to have their dogs returned. Dog control officer Art McClure met with -council to discuss the problem. He noted, "there's not much sense in picking dogs up." Mr. McClure explained te_'council that no Facilities are available to keep impounded dogs. Recently he was forced to tie two im- pounded dogs by the municipal offices, until the clerk asked that they be moved to a more appropriate location. Mr. McClure is also limited in his dog con- trol work because he doesn't have a motor vehicle. Council further noted that clerk's office is Guaranteed Investment Certificates 1 1 5 Year Term interest paid annually minimum deposit L500 Rams subject tochange without notice not being notified when dogs have been im- pounded, therefore the $25 fines are not be= ing issued to the dog owners. Councillor Bill Manning noted that council was -partly responsible for the lack of consis- tent dog control in the village. He said that the dog control officer had never been given terms of employment, other than the, authorization to shoot dogs found running at large. Reeve Tom Cronin emphasized that fines should be issued. "If the abuser had to pay $25 each time an animal was caught, that would changetheir' attitude." Council agreed that penalties must be strictly enforced. They passed a motion to change Mr. McClure's rate of pay from a yearly stipend to a charge based on each dog captured. Council will also require Mr. ' McClure to provide pound facilities and report all dog captures to the village clerk to ensure that fines are levied to the .canine owners.
