Friends mourn death
of Mrs. Albert Kitchen
After a long and
courageous battle with
illness, Mrs. .Albert Kitchen
of Bluevale was granted
relief on Monday, November
5, when death came at the
Wingham and District
Hospital. She was in her 58th
year.
Mrs. Kitchen was the
former Irma Elizabeth
(Betty) Brewer and was a
daughter of the late William
and Tressa (Robb) Brewer.
Throughout her illness,
Betty was an inspiration to
many people who admired
her determination and
cheerful attitude in the face
of insurmountable trials and
suffering. Her death is felt
keenly by those friends, but
feeling the loss most deeply
are her husband Albert of
Bluevale and her daughter,
Mrs. Ross (Dianne) Goll of
Bluevale. There are four
grandchildren.
Friends of the Kitchen
family paid their respects at
the Brussels Chapel of M. L.
Watts Funeral Homes,

Welsh. She was carried to
her final resting place in

Replacing 10th line bridge
could cost over $800,000
The cost to build a new
three -span bridge on East
Wawanosh's 10th Concession
has been estimated at over
$800,000, according to
engineer Ken Dunn of B. M.
Ross and Associates,
Goderich.
Mr. Dunn's letter was read
at last Tuesday evening's
meeting of council and
although members did not
appear surprised at the
estimated cost, it reaffirmed
their desire to press the
Ministry of Transportation
and Communications for
bridge subsidy.
A report tabled in June of
last year estimated the cost
to build a new bridge at the
site at $600,000,
Numerous repairs have
been made to the 1911 bridge
over the past two years and
its load limit has been
reduced to the present seven -
tonne limit.
Mr. Dunn proposes that
the new bridge be con-
structed 20 metres north of
the present structure and the
1911 bridge be used as a
detour over the two years the
new bridge is being con-
structed.
In addition to the actual
bridge work, considerable
work is required to improve
the approaches to the
bridges, particularly to cut
back the steep hill west of the
bridge.
Representatives of East
Wawanosh council have met
with Harold Gilbert, MTC
deputy minister, twice in the
past year to petition his
ministry for a new bridge on
the tenth.
The most recent meeting
was held last month between
Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Dunn, East
Wawanosh Reeve Neil Vin-
cent and Road Superintend-
ent Ralph Campbell.
A letter from Mr. Gilbert's
office was read at last
week's meeting regarding
the Oct. 4 meeting. In his
letter Mr. Gilbert said he
recognizes the priority
council has placed upon the
bridge and that East
Wawanosh is prepared to
direct substantial township
funds to the project over the
next three years.
The ministry's 1985 budget
has not yet been set, but he
offered to review East
Wawanosh's request for
bridge subsidy again next
year.
East Wawanosh council
members said they do not
feel the situation is hopeless
and instructed Mr. Campbell
to apply for supplementary
subsidy for a bridge early
next year.
NEW MUSEUM
Huron County Council has
received a recommendation
to restore its Pioneer
Museum at Goderich. The
estimated . cost of the
restoration is $2,137,520 and
county council is looking for
Police to survey traffic
•
for crosswalk proposal
Wingham police have been
instructed to carry out a
survey of traffic in the area
of Josephine and Alfred
streets in connection with a
request from local parents
for a crosswalk in that area
of the town.
Police were asked to do the
survey during hours when
children are walking back.
and forth to school, counting
both vehicular traffic along
Josephine Street and
pedestrian traffic crossing
Me street for the period of
. one week.
It is hoped the results will
help to determine whether
some type of controlled or
guarded crossing is
warranted.
The request, which came'
• to town council at a previous
meeting in the form of a
petition signed by a large
number of parents from
various sections of the town,
was forwarded to the town's
board . of police com-
missioners for comment.
Following discussion
during its meeting last week,
the board agreed to have
police do a survey, but noted
it will be up to town council
to make a final decision on
what if anything is to be done
about a crosswalk.
Police Chief Robert Wittig
told the board he should have
the results from the survey
by its next regular meeting
on Dec. 5.
In other business at the
meeting, the board spent
about two hours with Ken
Schultz of the Ontario Police
Commission discussing the
role and responsibilities of
police governing authorities.
Mr. Schultz explained the
background to the formation
DENTURE WEARERS
Did you know that it is im-
portant to have your dentures
examined regularly? Your
mouth is one of the most im-
portant areas of your body,
but often the most neglected
when dentures are worn. Im-
properly fitting or neglected
dentures can cause severe
health problems. The lack of
public information regarding
dentures is alarming and
often leads to problems and
unnecessary expense. Your
local denture therapist (den-
turist) is a professional
specializing in the construc-
tion, repair and modification
of dentures and provides this
service directly to the public.
If you have problems with
your present dentures or
think of getting new ones,
see your local denture
therapist. consultation is
usually free, You will find
denture therapists (den-
turists) listed in the yellow
pages. This information is
supplied through the Den-
turist Association of Ontario
and your Local therapist.
of boards of police com-
missioners and also an-
swered questions about how
the boards operate, what
powers and responsibilities
they have and how they
relate to the municipal
council.
The commission is the boss
of the police force, he said,
telling the chief through
rules and regulations how it
wants the force to run. How-
ever it cannot interfere with
the operations of the force in
any ways which would
violate the laws or the Police
Act..
It operates independently
of the town council, ap-
proaching council only to get
approval of its annual
i'budget, which is funded out
of the town coffers.
He said boards of com-
missioners are not
necessarily better than
committees of council or
vice versa, so long as there is
good rapport, but added that
the main function of a board
is to "get politics out of
policing."
He also said that because
of the appointment process
board members tend to be
around longer than
municipal councillors .and
have an opportunity to gain a
better feel for the job.
The board also .accepted
the tender of Cullen Motors,
Wingham, for a new 1985
police cruiser at a cost of
$8,222.60 including trade-in.
This was the lower of two
tenders received.
However, following a
review of its financial
statement, it erased a $4,000
reserve which had been set
aside in the budget this year
toward a new cruiser in
order to use the money to
WS) board members their
semi-annual honoraria,
which total $3,100 for the
latter half of 1984.
Since the board had not
been formed at the time the
budget was struck, it con-
tained no provision for the
payment of honoraria this
year.
The board then went into a
closed session to discuss
negotiations of the police
contract.
At the start of the meeting,
Chairman Jack Gillespie had
outlinedthe procedure the
board will use for dealing
with the press and public. It
will hold two meetings, the
first of which will be open
and will deal with all non -
confidential matters. At the
close of that meeting there
will be a question period
after which the board will
held a second, closed,
meeting to discuss any items
of a confidential nature,
including personnel matters,
bargaining, disciplinary
matters and some portions of
the chief's report.
He said a copy of the
agenda for all closed
sessions will be made
available and that only those
items listed on the agenda
will be discussed.

November meeting of WMS
BLUEVALE — A hymn
and scripture reading
opened the November 7
meeting of the Women's
Missionary Society of Knox
Presbyterian Church,a the
home of Mrs. Glenn
McKercher.
Mrs. Burns Moffatt read
scripture from the sixth
chapter of St. Luke's Gospel
and in her following com-
ments said that one of man's
greatest sins is taking things
for granted and forgetting
God's blessings. Mrs.
McKercher offered prayer.
Ninety-seven visits to the
sick during the past two
months were recorded. The
treasurer's report was given
by Mrs. Jack Jenkins and the
offering and mite box money
were received, with Mrs.
Golley offering prayer.
Business included letters
from Miss Lynne Longmeuir
and Ewart College and a
thank -you card from Jean
Welch. Members were asked
if they wanted to buy The
Heritage Book and decided
to each supply her own topic,
instead of buying the study
book.
Mrs. Jenkins chose
Remembrance Day for the
November study. She said
that Canada paid the price
with the soldiers in the
cemeteries. They fought to
bring peace to the world. She
urged the members to
remember war veterans and
buy poppies, proceeds of
which help veterans in this
area. She closed with the
hope that God would
preserve peace in this

feedback from the county's
municipal councils.
The )report'also recom-
mends that the county
contribute $300,000 per year
for five years; with the money
being made up of grants
from the member muniici-
palitites.
East Wawanosh's per
annum share is just over two
per cent or about $7,000.
Mr. Vincent ' asked
council's feelings about the
matter and asked members
if they wanted to go into
committee -of -the -whole to
discuss the proposal.
Some members expressed
discontent with the break-
down, saying those
municipalities located
closest to the museum should
'pay more since they will
receive the direct benefits.
Finally, after some
discussion council decided to
deal with -the proposal at the
Dec. 5 meeting.
Inother business, council
received correspondence
from the Blyth Community
Centre Board stating that
board has purchased
property valued at $14,200
and is looking for a grant of
$2,840 from East Wawanosh
toward the project.
When council was in-
formed of . the board's plans
to make the land purchase
earlier this year, members
asked for a user breakdown
of the number of East
Wawanosh residents who
were enrolled in recreation
programs at Blyth. East
Wawanosh council was
concerned because it is
paying more than neigh-
boring Morris Township,
which has been asked to
contribute $2,130 to the land
purchase costs.
When Councillor Vaughn
Toll asked Clerk -Treasurer
Winona Thompson if she
ever had received the break-
down which had been
requested, she answered
Councillor Jim Taylor
recommended that East
Wawanosh "close its cof-
fers" until it gets the in-
formation asked for from the
Blyth board and the other
members of council agreed.
Four building permits
were received and accepted
at the meeting: Gord Elliott,
Con. 1, Lot 40, a roof over a
feeder; Keith Rodger, Con.
5, Lot 28,• a granary; Fred
Meier, Con. 6, Lot 42, a
family room; and Ron
Kingsbury, Con. 13, Lot 42, a
family room.
Two other permits were
held over by council. Mr.
Kingsbury had applied for a
permit for a machine and
welding shop, but since the
land it into be located upon is
zoned agricultural -commer-
cial, council requires ap-
provals from the Depart-
ment of Labor, the health
Unit and the MTC.
Building Inspector Arnold
Bruce was instructed to
gather the necessary
documents from Mr.
Kingsbury before council
approves the permit and he
is to charge $15 for each visit
he makes to the Kingsbury
farm.
The second permit which
was held over for extra
consideration was submitted
by Marcella McNall of
London. Mrs. McNall had
proposed erecting a cottage
on the township's tenth
concession. However since
the area in question is
located in the floodplain and
since the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority has
no detailed flood level •in-
formation for that particular
area, council is going to seek
legal advice on the matter.
An assessment office open
house is scheduled for Dec. 3
and 4 at the Institute Hall in
Belgrave.
The next meeting of East
Wawanosh council is
scheduled for Dec. 5 at 12
noon at the township shed.
