DON'T HESITATE TO CALL OUR REPRESENTATIVES PAUL OR LINDA BQWEN BUS. 338-3488 — RES, 343-2987 EW council delaysaction on Auburn dog control bylaw I ast Wawanosh Township will wait for action by West Wawa - nosh and Hullett townships before proceeding on a dog control bylaw for Auburn, council members decided last week. If those two municiplaities pass the proposed bylaw, council will reconsider it. Otherwise, it will let the matter drop. Councillors felt the dogs don't represent a problem to East Wawanosh, with only one dog in this township's section of Auburn. Councillor John Currie also sug- gested it would be unfair to pass a dog bylaw only for Auburn and not for the rest of the township, "And, since dogs aren't a prob-' lem, I'm not in favor of a bylaw for the whole township," he added. Township Clerk Mrs. Winona Thompson reported she had met with the clerks from West Wawa - nosh a d Hullett to sketch out a proposd bylaw. The bylaw would provide for licencing of the dogs in the village, with a fine for dogs found unlicenced or running at large. Residents of Auburn have -complained to the West Wawanosh council about dogs running loose in their village, parts of which lie in each of the three townships. Several farmers attended the meeting to inform council. about drainage problems in the town- ship. Jim Walsh and Allan Dun- bar complained about water sit- ting along the side of the 'road, along East , Wawanosh Con - Our Sewing Machine Expert Technician EARL BERSCHT will be our store for demon- strations and repairs SATURDAY SEPT. 17 10 A.M. - 5 P.M.

Road Superintendent Clarence Hanna agreed to go in with a backhoe to check whether the existing award drain in that area has been damaged. He will also look into the suggestion that a catch basin be installed on the north side of the road to prevent water accumulating. Even after long .discussion, council found it difficult to come up with a solution to Karl Whit - field's drainage predicament. MP. Whitfield approached council to demand a proper outlet for his farm, indicating the lack of drainage is making it impossible to grow crops on parts of it. While the lower portion of the municipal drain is working all right, he said, the upper part, which should be draining his property, is not functioning and,. he wants something done about it. The problem is that while Mr. Whitfield's property is in East Wawanosh much of the dram lies in Morris Township and council- lors here aren't sure just what they can do about getting it re- paired. "We can't force Morris," Reeve Simon Hallahatn noted. It was -suggested Mr. Whitfield should approach the Morris council, but he rejected the idea. "I've been through this exercise in futility before," he declared, indicating he had gone to Morris about the drain a number of years ago and had received no satisfaction. Eventually Mr. Whitfield agreed he will try to get signa- tures on' a petition to repair the drain, which he will then bring back to council. At that 'time council will have to decide how to approach Morris Township with it. In other business, council accepted a drainage loan ap- plication from Thomas Hallahan and approved building permits for: Frank Haiiahan, granary; Leonard Palmer, addition to barn; Janet Mathers, dwelling; James Hallahan, granary; Ralph Campbell, store; Walter Elliott, pit silo; Mervin McDonald, garage; Mrs. Mae Scott, shed; Sam Thompson, milkhouse; Leonard Robinson, milkhouse; Robert Carter, addition to dairy barn; and John Smith, cottage. It also passed a motion ex- pressing appreciation to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority for the work performed this summer under the Eki- '- perience '77 program. Mr. Halla- han said the student crew did "a wonderful job" cleaning up the Westfield cemetery. Council heard in a letter from B. M. Ross and Associates, consulting engineers from Goderich, that the repair work on the Belgrave arena. has been completed to specification. It also heard from the Ministry of Cul- ture and Recreation that funds for arena work may not be avail- able until 1979. Normally 25 per cent of the cost of•such projects comes from the ministry, Mrs. Thompson said. East Wawanosh has had its ap- plication for a portion of the repair costs in for a year now, she said, and she hopes the letter doesn't mean it will have to wait two more years to get the grant. At a special meeting August 8, council decided to accept the $34,758.95 tender of Bluewater Truck Centre for a diesel truck fully equipped for snow plowing. This was not the lowest tender, but was the only one which would guarantee a satisfactory delivery date., Since government subsidy is calculated` on the lowest ten- der, the township will have to make up the approximately $500 difference, it was told. During that ,meeting, council also approved the purchase of a photocopy machine for use on tovtaiship buiness. Since then a photocopier has been purchased at a cost of approximately $1,400 and is giving 'very satisfactory service, Treasurer Alex Mc- Burney reported. Woman manages Fordwich bank Betty Bradshaw believes if a woman works hard at her job she can advance. A man may ad- vance a lot -faster, but a woman can make it if she is willing to work she says. Mrs. Bradshaw should know what she is talking about. Although she is now manager of the Fordwich Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Mrs. Brad- 'shaw did not receive the formal education that one might expect of a bank manager. She started as a teller about 15 years ago in Wroxeter where she spent most of her life..° She is familiar with the area and with the people, a great advantage, she says. "Every advancement has been offered to me," " she says, "I never asked for them. They say you need an education; it's not so.,, She was an accountant in Wroxeter when the Toronto head office called to offer, the manage- ment position. Her first reaction was "no way"_. "I thought it over for two months and my family was en- couraging," says Mrs. • Brad- shaw. Family is husband Harvey, who is a maintenance foreman for the County of Huron High- ways ,Department and daugh- ters Vicki, who works in the Wingham Bank of Commerce, and Karen, .who is in high school. She' believes her farming back- ground had a lot to do with the job offer. "It's not woman's lib," she says. Mrs. Bradshaw said the three' woman tellers working at the bank told her to give her name as Mrs. Betty Bradshaw, not Mrs. Harvey Bradshaw. "It doesn't make,a difference," she says. "My husband has been encouraging and understanding when I have 'to bring work home." Her family's backing .was very important. She would -not have accepted. the position, July 17, without it. "My family comes first, then my job," she smiles. Mrs. Bradshaw has worked since she was 15 years old a d says .she wouldn't know what to do with her days if she were at home. The only time off was to raise her daughters until they were 'n school and then it was back to the bank again. Mrs.. Bradshew comments that she is pleased with the accept- ance she receives by area people. "There is none of the opposition which I had expected." Mrs. Bradshaw laughs easily in her rich voice and her smile is friendly. Certainly not the look of a glossy businessman, .but• a sincere and straight -forward woman. 1 For Your Added Shopping Convenience.
