Pesticide spill
occupies firemen
A pesticide spill last Tuesday
evening in Morris Township occu-
pied Wingham firefighters for
almost two hours, but caused no
damage.
Fire Chief Harley Gaunt says the
department was contacted at 8:10
p.m. on June 6 by the Ontario Min-
istry of the Environment. The min-
istry alerted firefighters to the pesti-
cide spill on Con. 4-5.
The firemen blocked off the road-
way for two hours until assured by
the ministry that they could return
to town.
A malfunction at Royal Homes
Sunday morning at 8:35 caused the
fire alarm to sound, reports the
chief.
signs along
East VVawanosh Council will ask
for approval from the m nst r of
transportation to erect no -parking
signs along Highway 4, near the
ballpark at Belgrave.
Representatives of the Belgrave
Comrnunity Centre Board recently
asked council to petition the min-
istry for the signs. They are to be
installed south of Jordan Drive at
the entrance to the Humphrey sub-
division.
Council also will ask the ministry
to extend its 60 -kilometre per hour
speed limit at Belgrave by 100
metres sotth of Parker Drive. This:.
is because of children crossing the
road at the subdivision.
The speed • limit currently is 80
k lontetres,,per hour.
However,. Morris council, at its
June meeting, opposed extending
the 60 -kilometre zone, at least for
the present.
Morris council would prefer to
wait until the Van Camp subdivi-
sion has been developed, possibly
two years from now and then
extend the 60 -kilometre zone.

Council to discuss
annexation with
township solicitor
Turnberry council will meet with
its solicitor before proceeding with
annexation talks with Wingham.
Township council members have
received an outline of the town's
annexation proposal, complete with
maps, which they studied briefly at
the first June meeting.
The town had presented its pro-
posal early in May and two weeks
ago, Turnberry council sat down to
look at its annexation options,
including possible compensation.
However, Reeve Brian McBurney
"strongly suggested sitting down
with a lawyer before responding to
the town.
"We get a lawyer for road clos-
ings," reasoned Mr. McBurney. "I
think we'd better get one if we're
considering giving away part of the
township."
Lawyer Mike Mitchell of Strat-
ford will be invited to a meeting at
his earliest convenience.

B. Cruikshank
to be honored
Friends from Huron and Bruce
Counties will meet at the Goderich
Airport on Sunday, June 25, to
honor Bill Cruikshank of Wingham.
Mr. Cruikshank has been active
in flying for over 25 years and at 75
years of age, he still instructs. His
years of devotion have been appre-
ciated and friends want to take this
opportunity to thank him for his
commitment.
Mr. Cruikshank started flying in
1957. He has taught at airports in
Wingham, Goderich, Port Elgin,
Hanover, Centralia, Kincardine,
Wiarton, Owen Sound, Listowel
and Brussels. •
Literally hundreds of people
have come to know Mr. Cruikshank
through his love of flying. He is a
warm and friendly man, whose
easy-going attitude has helped him
through more than one hair-raising
moment brought on by over -zeal-
ous student pilots.
The day Mr. Cruikshank hangs
up his flying cap will be a sad one
for present and future pilots. Never,
before has one man offered so
much to a pastime loved by so
many.
