Noisy doh, life in Villa GORRIE — There are some people in this village who think Howick Township is going to the dogs. And some members of township council are beginning to wonder if they're right. During the October council session last Wednesday Mrs. Serena Austin of Gorrie tele- phoned Howick Clerk Wes Ball and complained at length about neighboring dogs. Not only were the animals running at .large, but when not running were barking continually, disturbing the entire neighborhood. Mrs. Austin not only wanted to know what council was intending to do about the situation, but told Mr. Ball she wanted her com- plaints reported by the press. When told of the complaints by Mr:' Ball, council noted the town- ship's dog catcher is working dili- gently to apprehend stray dogs. In fact it was reported that dogs in Mrs. Austin's own neighbor- hood had been taken to the pound but had been subsequently re- trieved by their owner. Council also reported that the township this year took in $3,431.50 in dog tag money and to date (not counting September's accounts) has spent out $2,012.23. "If we keep on we'll go broke," Reeve Harold -Robinson said. At the same time the reeve said he sympathized wholeheartedly with Mrs, Austin. "You're in the country," he said to one grinning councillor. "If you had to put up with these damn barking dogs you wouldn't like it either. Why the other day a funeral procession arrived at the cemetery and was met by `five barking dogs — it isn't funny." "You're right," Coun. Bill Newton said. "If dogs are bark- ing in a confined area it isn't funny and when these dogs aren't running, apparently they're barking." Noting that the fine for dogs • 11 disrupting e of Gorrie running at large in Howick is $15 for the first time and $20 for the second and each subsequent tilne the animals are caught, Coun, Harry Winkel said, "Our dog catcher is just going to have to be made; aware of this situation and melee a concerted effort to get these dogs."' Otheran relying upon their dog cat er, council said there was little he township could do without a noise control bylaw to deal with barking dogs and other disturbing sounds. Drainage problems took up much of council's time last week. First and second readings were Wingham couple honored at special events Friends and relatives surprised Mr. and Mrs. Bruce MacLean on Saturday night when they arrived at their home to help celebrate their 35th wedding anniversary.

Giving thanks is UCW lesson WHITECHURCH,— "In every- thing, give thanks to God", was the lesson learned at the United Church Women's meeting Oct. 5 in the Church Sunday school room. Mrs. Cliff Laidlaw read a story about a woman whose family didn't come home for Thanks- giving as expected. One by one they sent excuses for their ab- sence. The mother was naturally dis- appointed until she discovered severe' neighbors had nowhere to' go on Thanksgiving. These neigh- bors were very lonely • with - no families; the woman decided to invite them to her home and soon she had a houseful. She forgot about her own loneli- ness and disappointment. The woman had a happy Thanks- giving by sharing with less for- tunate folk. Mrs. Laidlaw had 'opened the meeting with the meditation and a prayer. "Onward Christian Sol- diers" was sung by all. Mrs. Quipp read the scripture, Romans I: 8-17 and led in prayer. Mrs. Laidlaw read a poem, "HisHeart" and Mrs. Elmer Sleightholm read a story of Thanksgiving. "Jesus Shall Reign' was sung and the roll call was answered with 11 scriptural versus of Thanksgiving.

The Wingham 4dvance-Times, Oe%ober 12, TM age 5 Councils agree with resolution Morris and Turnberry Town- ship councils agree that when any new housing is built in any one year, but unoccupied, it should be assessed against the builder until it is occupied. Both townships received a resolution by the Township of McNab which wanted endorse- ment. The letter from Clerk -treasurer Murray Yantha, McNab Town- ship, said that often a builder is interested in only making a profit and after selling a few homes at a good price, he either le•,I his standards or increases e ' alue of the homes. As a result only two thirds of the houses are filled yet 100 per cent costs have been incurred by the municipality. The costs of entranceways, damages, clean-up and the cost of containing the dust nuisance are Institute visits The Candyman LAKELET — Highlight of the regular meeting of the Womep's Institute on October 6 was a trip to Farewell to see The Candyman at work.
