John Day, Louise Marritt and Jim Hastings presented council with a petition signed by over 30 people. Those who signed the petition want the road to be placed upon a priority list at the county for improvements like paving since they claim the road is rough. Mr. Day said im- provements to County Road 7 would be "beneficial to everyone" as it would divert traffic from other township roads. Councillor Randy Scott asked if there had been any GINGERBREAD gingerbread ead hou et given toIrvine . and Mrs. J$meet in Currie of Summit Drive by Kim' longingly this. g g by Kirri Craig and her father Bodie of RR 2, Blyth, as a surprise Christmas gift.

Goforth Christmas meeting Mrs. E H The Goforth ladies' group at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Wingham held its Christmas meeting last Tuesday evening in the Upper Room. The committee in charge consisted of Mrs. M. Mann, Mrs. D. Bushell, Mrs, L. Clugston, Mrs. M. Chittick and Mrs. 11. Clark. The meeting was high- lighted' by ighlighted'by several Christmas readings and the singing of Christmas carols. Mrs. J. Mills and Mrs. B. Richard- son favored those present with a beautiful duet of rin on rd" rrin ton made• "Jesus, Wonderful Le with Cora Robertson ac- companying them at the piano. The real highlight of the evening was a talk by the guest speaker, Mrs. Ellen Errington. She and her husband Ross and family are home on furlough from the Philippines. They are carry- ing on an interesting task there of translating the Bible into the language of the Coto- bato Manobo people through Wycliffe Bible Translators. those present realize how many different groups of people in the world do not have the Bible written in their own language and therefore cannot read and learn theword of God. Translating the Bible is a long process and can take years, but the group thanks God for people like the Erringtons who are carrying on his work. Mrs. E. Neill ' led the business part of the meeting and a fellowship hour followed. traffic counts done on the road in the recent past. Mr. Day replied there have heen counts taken in the past, but he is not certain when the last one was done. It is not cars that are wearing down the road though, he stressed, but the heavy trucks. Reeve Brian McBurney, chairman of the county roads committee, said County Road 7 currently is ranked seventh on the county's priority list.for road improvements and admitted that construction done on the road a few years ago might be reason for delay . The county does its road construction in three-year phases, he said, so even if the county gave the go-ahead to fix the road in 1986, it would not be completed until the Gingerbread house graces Currie home Mrs. Jim Currie received a year. delightful surprise when she She has no idea how to arrived home last Wed- preserve the house for future nesday evening to find, a Christmases and besides, it magnificent gingerbread was made to be eaten.

They borrowed the design from a Good Housekeeping magazine and Mr. Craig drew the "blue- print" to scale, while making a few minor alterations of his own. The house is meticulous in :its detail and Miss Craig said it took two people two days to make. They even stayed up ,until .5 a.m. once working at the house. The first step;.: after ' the plans were dr avlik up, was to bake the gingerbread pieces. When the gingerbread was cool it was time to place all the pies together with,ael Then came the tricky part: decorating the house. It has a Smartie roof, a nougat chimney, trees and a wreath made of green gumdrops, a tiny. broom made with a Shreddie and gingerbread skiis to name only a few things. The doors on the two-story house are open to reveal a lighted interior and by the way, the stained-glass windows are made from melted lifesavers. Mrs. Currie said she was overwhelmed when she saw the house because she • realized a lot of work must have gone into it. As for Miss Craig and her father they can attest to the fact that a lot of time did go into the house, but it was time well spent. Ter father says jokingly that they never will do another, but Miss Craig said she willing to try another house, maybe next end of this decade. Mr. Day said he un- derstood that these things "take time". All he asked was that Turnberry council or Mr. McBurney put some pressure on at the county level to speed things along a bit on the project. Mr. Scott suggested a visual count of traffic be taken as well to stress upon the county that the road is heavily used. Council forwarded the petition to the county roads committee for its con- sideration. Still with the roads, council went into committee -of -the - whole at the meeting to discuss township roads with the road crew. Turnberry's new John Deere grader arrived last Tuesday and Road Superin- tendent Ross Nicholson re- ported at the meeting he al-, ready had put it to work. A letter from Lloyd "Casey" Casemore was read at the meeting, thanking council for nominating him for an Ontario bicentennial award. The presentation was made Dec. 9 at Seaforth. The next regular meeting of Turnberry council will be held Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the municipal office in Bluevale.
