One side of the hall was lined with a• display- of heritage items from the past which had belonged to members' ancestors. Beautiful antique dishes, rare mustache and shaving mugs were backed byan- tique quilts hung on display. A bonnet pin and fancy hair comb with rhinestones were displayed, as was a black lace parasol,,a foot warmer, an old-fashioned slide and many more items of interest. An antique cradle com- plete with dressed doll and wearing apparel created a great deal of interest, as did a small wicker doll carriage and doll sitting on a buffalo robe. Displayed) on the other side of the hall were many quilts made by the members and near the entrance. .were books about the centennial celebrations in 1967 and the 125th Howick parade. Also of interest were cups and saucers, spoons, serviettes, etc. pertaining to the Institute and the Erland Lee Home at Stoney Creek: The Tweedsmuir History book was a fascinating addition. A long table containing baked goods was soon sold out, then visitors sat down to a cup of tea, cookies and tarts, and a social visit was enjoyed. project, Blit Mr, lith * ' . poops, carport _-' mfngton .said. he dint not, Alm Cox attended the As drpinage enirieer, Mr. ndieeting to ask council's Clark4g. ..gested�. to .,Mr- permission to set up a trailer Wormifigton that tbeon one of his lots in Lower dreinage works stop as .soon Town.

The total cost of the drain would be .$22,410 after the engineering costs are added to it. Finally after some further discussion council decided to accept the engineer's report and pass the necessary bylaw. Also members agreed to change the name of the drain to the Elliott No. 2 Municipal Drain. A court of revision was set for July 3 at 9 p.m. and Mr. Wormington said he intends to appeal his assessment to the court. Still with drains, council went into committee of the whole to discuss debenturing the Fortune 'Drain with Barry and Carolyn Ireland. No decision was reached. Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune declared a dis- closure off pecuniary interest (conflict of interest) since he and Mr. Ireland are business partners. CUT BACK HILL Rudy Hooftman of the township's sixth concession attended the meeting to propose that the hill near his home be cut back since it causes a traffic hazard. One day lately Mr. Hooftman said his son came very close to being hit by a car after getting off his school bus. There have been numerous small accidents at the site, said Mr. Hooftman, and even one fatality in 1972. Council members said they were sympathetic to Mr. Hooftman's plight and said that possibly his ideas for cutting back the hill could, be incorporated next year when the township does road work on the sixth. In the meantime - they suggested that Mr. _ Hooft- man ask his son's bus driver to let the boy off at the top of the hill so the bus is visible from all sides. Turnberry Township will receive $53,500 in sup- plementary subsidy this year from the Ministry of Transportation and Com- mtmications. Council must spend $9,500 of its own money before it gets the subsidy and the money must be spent on a new road grader. Building Inspector Alex MacDonald presented a number of building permits which were approved by council: Victoria Hamill, Con. 2, a trailer permit; Jim Dennis, Lower Town, a trailer permit; Walden ' Transport, B-line, new building; Grace Curtis, Con. 7, a sun porch; Jack Cerson, Bluevale, a garage; Brian Jeffrey, Con. 12, a hay storage building; Mike Moore, B-line, addition to. house; Doug Moore, Con. 12, carport; R.
