Branch 180 awards and honors Comrade Ohm provides Holland trip update By MARGARET STAPLETON The Advance -Times An honors and awards night was held on May 12 at the Wingharn Legion Hall. A highlight of the &ening was Comrade Clarence Ohm's update on the recent trip to Holland made by a number of local veterans to take part in V -E celebrations, mark- ing the 50th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe. • As was evidenced in television coverage of the celebrations, Mr. Ohm said the red carpet, definitely was rolled out for the Canadian vis- itors, many of whom took an active role in the liberation of The Nether- lands etherlands in May of 1945. The visitors were billeted with Dutch families, said Mr. Ohm and their hosts "couldn't do enough for us,". Although their itinery was jam-packed with activity, any free time was spent with the host fami- lies taking them on tours of the lovely countryside and towns. . For Mr. Ohm, the trip was high- lighted by visits to two Canadian war cemeteries, both of which are kept in immaculate condition. One ceremony there was attended by Prime Minister Jean Chretien. On May 7, the veterans took part in the gigantic Liberation Day pa- rade in Appeldoom, attended by the Dutch royal family. "Well, it start- ed out as a parade," said Mr. Ohm, but the lines quickly broke as well- wishers pushed through to shake the. hands of their Canadian libera- tors. All in all, it was a tremendous re- ception, he concluded and one he and the others on the trip will never forget. Several honors and awards were bestowed later at the banquet, most notably a Legion life membership to Bert Morin, a long-time and tire- less Legion supporter and'worker.

"It was my understanding that the bill could not affect any appli- cations for re -zoning made prior to the implementation of the bill," he told council, Chief building.officer Paul Josling said that they can.meet the re- quired separation distances under the township plan. However, he said that maybe having the plan for five residential lots ,was too much, and suggested that perhapsan application for just two lots Would be better. , Warwick said he would consider having the property re -zoned as two lots, rather .than five. He even suggested, having the property re- zoned has, one lot of record, - Josling told council that a spokesperson with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) said they would not contest the re- zoning if the application was for two lots instead of five. The Huron County Health Unit would still require test holes drilled and a drainage plan. Warwick pointed out that in the past there was a sawmill on the property in question, as well as a hotel and five houses. Council wanted to get a legal opinion before making a final de- cision on the re -zoning applica- tion. However, council was unsure as to which lawyer to get the need- ed information from. Warwick said the that the lot was worthless to the owners un- less it was re -zoned. He added that he would like to see his application for re -zoning supported by council .as much as possible. • NOW OPEN Huron & Bruce Machining Custom Machining & Fabricating Specializing in: Hydraulic Cylinders Hydraulic Pumps,, motors, hoses, seals.
