From the provincial level, her work has been moved into a national competition. Miss Allan awaits results from that com- petition, which should be known in the mid- dle of May. The award winning poem follows: a winner The Significance of the Poppy I think of the poppy scarlet red It reminds us of the blood once shed It stands upon a hill of dirt A symbol of all the pain and hurt It grows beneath a cross of stone To mark brave soldiers now lying alone Each year it rises fresh and new To bring new hope for me and you The poppy stands bright and alive And teaches us for peace to strive Let in all men and women grow Compassion for both friend and foe The poppy though tis just a flower Reminds us of the greed and power War is cruel and war destroys Shattering the futures of girls and boys To remember the poppy's scarlet hue Let love of mankind spring anew.

"That's what we've been driving at throughout this whole episode. We're just tying up loose ends." Bylaws Two bylaws were put before council dur- ing the meeting and both were passed. The first, number 10 for the year, was a bylaw to appoint Blyth's fire chief, Irwin Bowes, as assistant to the chief building in- spector for the village. Councillor Manning explained why this bylaw was necessary. The situation carne to the forefront in 1984 when a person from the fire marshall's office stated that a local fire chief was not allowed to enter a buildint; after a fire for inspection purposes. "If he went into a building to inspect it, he could be charged with trespassing. He has no authorization to go into a building after a fire is extinguished," Councillor Manning explained. For this purpose Mr, Bowes was named as assistant to the building inspector. The other bylaw passed saw John Rinn hired as an assistant to the village foreman, Mery Ritchie. Mr. Rinn was hired on a full time basis. Londesboro UCW host Burns ladies... • from page 6 Rev. Snihur greeted members to the United Church for the Good Friday service on April 17.
