Harris, Mayor of the Town of Wingham feel that each citizen would welcome the opportunity to pause and reflect with pride on the rich heritage of ac- complishment throughout the more than 60 -years Kinsmen clubs have been in existence In Canada. And with - the express idea of honoring our local club, I DO HEREBY DECLARE February 20, 1984 KINSMEN DAY. and declare' the week of February 19 -25, 1984 KINSMEN WEEK and urge all citizens to salute their local' Kinsmen club. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the Town of Wingham to be affixed this 6th day of February 1984. William R. Harris Wingham council shorts Town Council plans to return to a policy of refusing to rent the Wingharn Ar- mouries to private in- dividuals for profit-making purposes. After hearing last month that complaints had been raised over renting the Armouries to an itinerant vendor for a clothing sale,' council asked its solicitor for an opinion on whether it could legally refuse to rent the building in such cases. It was told a previous council had set a policy of not renting for such purposes, but Councillor Jack Kopas claimed the policy had died with the old council and was no longer in effect. The solicitor's opinion, however, was that the town does indeed have a policy, adopted in 1981, and such a policy is ,quite proper. Council now plans to consider enshrining the policy in the form of a bylaw. At the same time, it will review the charge for a hawker's and pedlar's licence, the cost of which was set at $75 back in 1959 and has not been raised since. Council also has establish- ed a committee to study the control and operation of the Armouries and report back on possible changes in the method of administration. Currently it is not clear who is in charge of the building, council was told, and as a consequence the chairman of the property committee is often called in to settle ques- tions. 0-0-0 The Town of Wingham will proclaim Febv'20 as Kinsmen Day and that week, Feb. 19- 25, as Kinsmen Week. A letter from the Kinsmen Club of Wingham explained that week will be celebrated by Kin clubs across Canada. It also noted the local club is marking 35 years of service to this community and, together with the Kinettes and the newly -formed K-40 club, looks forward to continued partici cation in community activities and programs. 0-0-0 The money collected from parking ;meters in Wingham during December will be divided between the Wingham and District -Hospital and the Wingham- - Community Band. :Council had proposed to give the entire amount to the hospital, to be earmarked for the purchase of equipment, but Councillor Bruce Machan suggested the band should also be considered. Contrary to council's previous impression, the band does not receive „sponsorship from the local Optimist club on an ongoing basis, he said, and money is' needed for equipment. Councillor Tom Miller, on the other hand, argued for the hospital, saying the idea was to give the money to an organization that benefits the whole community, "and what's going to benefit the whole community more than the hospital?" In the end council agreed to divide the money, amounting to some $438.50, between the two organiza- tions. 0-0-0 In a recorded vote, council agreed to pay $55,000 for the old Gulf station lot as the site for a new fire hall. Councillor William Crump told council its original offer of $53,000 had been met with a counter -proposal of $55,000 by the owner of the property, Jack Hodgins. He said the rural fire committee had discussed the price and thought it was reasonable. Councillor Machan reported he had been ap- proached by 'a number of ratepayers who wanted to know why the town would spend that kind of money when it owns a piece of land just across the street from the Gulf station, and he didn't know what to tell them. Mr. Crump noted that site, a portion of Cruickshank Park, had been suggested to council as a possible location and been "Shot down". "Tell them that," he said. Mayor William Harris pointed out that the question of building on any portion of the park had been put to the voters in an earlier muni- cipal election and decisively voted down, at a time when a previous council was con- sidering it as a site for a senior citizen apartment complex. Council's vote. on this occasion mirrored an earlier vote, with Councillor James A. Currie and Deputy Reeve Patricia Bailey continuing to oppose the purchase. However the motion passed easily, 6-2. Mr. Currie afterward asked what plans councillors had for the existing fire halt building. He was told it will be up to the property com- mittee to come up with recommendations.
