At its June 15 meeting council gave the go ahead to call tenders on the project. The in- vited contractors include Don Haw, Joe Koene, Bill -T -Rite ( William Tomlinson ), 'ferry Heard, Harry Hessel, J&J Construc- tion and Jack B. Colquhoun. Councillor Cliff Freeman has been named head of the works building committee. Reeve Dave Johnston has declared a con- flict of interest in the matter of awarding the tender as he has an interest in one company (J&J Construction ). He will not attend any further meetings of the building committee until after a tender is awarded. He said however that after that date he would pro- vide any technical advice if asked by the committee. Plans call for the construction of a new works building for the municipality. The building will be situated next to the municipal offices. The building will be con- structed from brick and will be designed to "N pe asethetically complemetary to the streetscape. Discussion at a previously held planning meeting of council centered on the design of the building. It was agreed that the building will peak towards the street to lessen a long roof line and to break any "barracks like ap- pearance".- Plans also call for a narrow front to the street to minimize the distance north into the lawn. Future expansion could have the roof line running north and south. The trees at the front were also addressed and it was felt that by trimming one it could be saved and it is hoped that the second may also remain, however, depending on the door openings, it may have to be removed. At the planning itieeting blue prints were studied in detail and questions were answered concerning the height of doors, the office panelling, hydro, heating and the effect the building would have on the neighborhood. Tender applications must be submitted before 12 noon on July 17. Council members will study the applications that afternoon at a 2 p.rn. planning meeting. w" old lights up... • from page 8 The first pancake breakfast of the season was held on May 17, and don't forget that the next will take place at the arena on July 5. The proceeds are to be donated to the Bayfield Recreation Committee. Other donations to date have gone to the Canine Vision School at Oakville, the 1,ake St. Joseph ('anmp, Clinton Public Hospital and a highway sign for the village. Unfor- tunately this latter project seems to have become inextricably tied up with bureaucratic red tape. The other item of lions' news include Lloyd Huffman's recovery from his recent indisposition - he is hack calling the bingo, and an expression of thanks to Sandra Turner who has been responsible for the catering during the year. Historical Society News Neil Mustard was the speaker at the mon- thly meeting of the Bayfield Historical Society on .June 22. His subject was the history of cement and was one on which he was well qualified to discourse He began by informing his listeners that as long as 4,000 years ago the ancient Egyp- tians understood the uses of cement as did the Romans some 2,000 years later. In layman's terms, Mr. Mustard explained that people often talked about cement when they really meant concrete. Cement he said, was equivalent to the flour in cake -making, and the 'aggregate" was equivalent to the fruit and nuts. The combination of these in- gredients together with water resulted in concrete. Mr. Mustard then presented a series of slides which illustrated concrete structures and the processes of mixing from the days of laborious hand blending to the fully com- puterized methods which are now practiced. Experience, and acciuent. Mr. Mustard said, had both contributed to contemporary techniques and a good deal of research was required in order to gauge the effects of ag- ing, weathering, quality, aggregate content and reactions as well as specifications which related to weight and texture. Speaking of present day methods for mix- ing, and the construction of contemporary building, the CN tower as an example, Mr. Mustard explained that the utilization of epoxy resins and polymers had helped to overcome earlier problems since they hastened hardening processes and solved the often encountered difficulty of working in low temperatures. In conclusion Mr. Mustard identified the variety of specimens which he brought for display.

Members are asked to meet outside the municipal building at 11:30 a.m. and the party will then set out for the home of Mr. and Mrs. Holly.

Altogether it promises to be a very in- teresting expedition. However, please .note that if it is raining the trip will be automatically cancelled. Members are reminded that their support for the agricultural fair will be welcomed, and it is hoped that they will produce some noteworthy entries.
