Rowever, Mr. Currie -made it dear during his presentation that he con siders the prioperty to be a part of th cenotaph and that council should no even consider selling it. "I beg of you to reconsider," he told council while at the same time calling on the prospective pur- chasers "to forestall what could be a very difficult confrontation by withdrawing their proposal". Legion representatives Don Far- nell, Clarence Ohm and Robert Scott also reported that a large turnout of members at the Legion's last general meeting voted unanimously to oppose the Sale of any of the cenotaph land owned by the town. Ernest Eaton, who has been acting as a factfinder on this issue for the Legion, also pointed out the one main difficulty in reaching any clearcut decision — no one really knows the true boundaries of the cenotaph property. To this point, any attempt to define the property lines has been purely guesswork. Councillor Ron Beecroft agreed. "There are many on this council — I for one — who do not understand the boundaries." The consensus of council appeared tote in favor of not selling the land, if indeed it is part of the cenotaph During his presentation Mr. Cur - o rie also raised another related mat- ter — that the cenotaph monument itself is in urgent need ot restorative - work and suggested a fundraising e campaign be initiated L� repair the t damage done te the monument by recent sandblasting. property, e bylaw. Main street sidewalk, no place for bikes The Josephine Street sidewalk is no place for ,bicycle riding. That is the message the Wingham Board of Police Commissioners wants to get across to the public. At its regular May meeting, the board decided it would request the Town of Wingham to place a newspaper advertisement remind- ing the public of the bylaw which prohibits bicycle riding on Josephine Street sidewalks. Mayor Jack Kopas, one of two council representatives on the board, said he had been contacted by "three or four elderly citizens in the past week since the weather started to get nice." One woman told Mr. Kopas she had been brushed back by a bicycle rider and knocked into a store front. ,b • Letters will also be sent to local schools reminding them of th hurch Director St. Paul's Church (ANGLICAN) WING HAM John Street at Centre Street THE ANGLICAN PARISH OF WINGHAM AND BELGRAVE All services from the "Book of Common Prayer" SUNDAY, MAY 1551988 11:00 a.m. - Holy Communion Sunday School & Nursery Minister : Rev.
