This announcement was made by the chairman of the arena board, Frank Szusz, who was present at the meeting at the re- quest of Blyth Reeve Albert Wasson. Reeve Wasson and Mr. Szusz had met previously to discuss the upkeep of the arena, and the financial responSiblities of the village and arena board. After meeting with the board Mr. Szusz reported, "There was no conclusion on the outside as far as the clean-up. We never came to a real conclusion." He added that not a lot of money is made at the arena booth to cover the cost of clean- up. "We had some problems at the meeting. Murray (Black) resigned. He didn't feel the grass area was his responsibility to clean up," Mr. Szusz noted. Reeve Wasson stressed that the outdoor area at the arena must be kept clean. "We Twin City .�� School of hairstyling Waterloo, Ont. •Hairstyling •Barbering •Ear Piercing •Make-up 55 Erb St. East can not have that place left unkept. Most comments we get are it's a clean, tidy village, but all of a sudden you get to one focal point and you find this mess." Although the village is now accepting ap- plications for the position of arena manager, Councillor Lloyd Sippei had a suggestion for how the arena grounds could be kept clean. "In the past youths have been hired to pick up the garbage. I agree we can't afford to send a town man, but we can hire a school kid," he said. Council agreed with this suggestion, and a student will be hired to keep the arena grounds, ball diamond and parking lot areas clean. Highway 4 Reeve Wasson reported on the August 5 meeting held in the village with the Minister of Transportation and Communications (MTC), Ed Fulton, and Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell concerning the reconstruction of Highway 4. He commented on the fact that the meeting between the government officials BEST INTEREST 10' Guaranteed investment Certificates *Subject to change Geiser-Kneale d*ri Minh Exeter 235-2420 Clinton 482-9747 Insurance Brokers Inc.

"It made us feel good simply to realize we got the attention we sought. At one stage we thought we wouldn't get far in our endeavors. Now we will have to wait and see if anything comes out of that," he said. Mr. Wasson was approached by an MTC representative following the meeting who asked him to get the village concerns and suggestions about the reconstruction down on paper so they will be in front of the ministry when the plans are drawn up. Memorial Hall Traffic Because of the traffic congestion caused by buses loading and unloading visitors to the Blyth Summer Festival, Clerk - Treasurer Helen Grubb suggested putting in bus parking for certain hours in front of the memorial hall. "Buses can then sit down on Drummond, and move around the corner from the post office to pick up their passengers in front," she explained. She added that this would also be helpful as there is never any space in front of the hall when an emergency vehicle has to be called. Although council didn't agree with the bus parking zone because they felt too much space would be taken up for too much time, they moved to designate two reserved spaces for emergency vehicles in front of the hall. Radio Replacement Council moved to purchase a monitor and truck mount for the village forces after one hand held radio was run over by a lawn mower. A new chainsaw will also be bought as the village machine was burned during the clean up following the last big storm. Landfill Site Clean Council received some good news just before the close of their meeting as it was announced that a hydrology test, carried out at the landfill site to see if any leakage or seepage has occurred, came out negative.
