Finishing off the remnants of a 20 foot sundae can be a pretty funny business, as was
discovered by these Grade 7 students at Hullett Central School. The class won the sundae
for selling the most magazine subscriptions at the school. They devoured the sundae on
November 27. Over all, Hullett raised $9,000. (David Emslie photo)

Blyth goes
BLYTH - In a recorded vote, council here
moved to have village taxes done on a com-
puter system, during a November 26
meeting.
Clerk -treasurer Helen Grubb presented
the proposal for going onto the computer
system. She explained that when she was in
London she learned of a company, Emco,
who could take care of the village tax billing
for approximately $961• for the year. This
figure could drop depending on what
changes had to be made, she added.
"For us to do them completely in the of-
fice here is more expensive," Clerk -
treasurer Grubb said.
She noted that while it can take a good
to computer system
length of time to take care of the tax billing
manually, with the new system, tax
assessments and information on interim
taxes on the mill rate for final notice, would
be sent to the data centre, and' the bills
would be returned to the village. These bills
would then just have to be checked over, and
sent out.
Aside from the sAeed and cost efficiency
of the computer billing, Clerk -treasurer
Grubb explained, "Doing it in the office
lends for error, and a lot of double
checking."
On top of this, she stated, Blyth'is current-
ly one of only three municipalities in Huron
Noon hour activities
By Heidi Scrimgeour
and Karin Lee
BLYTH - At lunch time, Grade 6, 7 and 8
play volleyball with two games at Blyth
Public School. One starts at 12:10 pm and
the other is at 12:30 pm. There are four
teams; they are the Meddskies, Beasties,
Warriors and Souchies. The captains are
Tammi Medd, Laurie Wharton, Jason Lee
and Kevin Souch.
Referees are volunteers or Mr. Liver-
more. The Beasties and the Meddskies are
tied for first place so far with the Warriors
third and the Souchies fourth.
These games prepare students for the
play-off tournament and the inter -school
County that aren't on a computer system.
There was some opposition to changing
the system, though, as Councillor Bill Mann-
ing pointed out that at least with the old
method some employment was being pro-
vided in the village. He stated that while he
saw nothing wrong with the system, he
would like to keep the work within the
village.
Because of his opposition to the change,
Councillor Manning requested a recorded
vote on the matter.
The motion was passed to change
systems, with Councillors Bev Elliott, Lloyd
Sippel, and Bill Howson in favor, and Coun-
cillor Manning opposed.
