The teachers explained their cur- riculums and the pupils had left notebooks and other work on their desks for parents to see. CORRECTION There was a typographical error in last week's report on the meeting of East Wawanosh Township council. The section relating to the dog control bylaw should have read: '.`West Wawa - nosh and Hullett have both passed the bylaw ..." instead of` "West Wawanosh and Hullett have not passed the bylaw ..." We regret any confusion which may have arisen as a result of tnis er►or. Turnberry Coun1 C1� Coveragreement ch ci The Wingham Advanceqimes, October Turnberry ..,, prepares for township pIan Members of Turnberry Town- ship council are contacting var- ious groups in the township to en- courage small local meetings to discuss the upcoming secondary plan for Turnberry. The planning is scheduled to start in the spring of 1978. Council is making the move now so more public input can be heard before open meetings are held and before the plan actually starts. It was felt more people would be willing to say something in their own small group than at a public meeting. It was suggested these smaller meetings might be held in Dec- ember or January to start People talking before the spring public meetings. At the small meetings, questions prepared by the county planner will start discussion. This type of pre -plan prepara- tion is what the Rural Develop- ment Outreach Project (RDOP) has offered to council. Jackie 9, OTT - p'ag c Hearne Wolfe of DOP from the funded by the W. K.

Knowledge of how a plan is prepared or how to get what they want into a plan has not .been made known to them. She said although a planner. may already have ideas about what should be done in a particul- ar area, he will shift his opinion if council or the public make a case. "You will have to work with the plan, so you must feel comfort- able with it,'‘ she told council. Miss Wolfe explained the steps taken by planners to make a plan in townships. The first step is a series of six public workshops, chaired by council and attended by the planner and intereste(1 public. The first meeting is introduct- ory, to give general information about the plan. Four general meetings follow, with the topics d of agriculture, recreation, urban CO �� �� places — villages and hamlets — and natural environment and ex- tractive industries discussed. ang e s After each meeting the planner sends a brief to everyone who attended, outlining what he or she run off and should be considered heard.

LT Bluevale, Ontario Snow for confirmation on the changes. Reeve Don Eadie said council understood the B -Line bridge was to be paid with an 80 per cent MTC subsidy and the road was to be paid by a 100 per cent subsidy. Council was to be responsible for land purchases, fencing and fence allowance. Councillor Doug Fortune and Road Superintendent Len Baird recently met with officials from the Stratford offices of MTC and were told the township is re- sponsible for utilities and interest under the agreement. Re -location of hydro was to be covered, but, MTC now asks for 55 per cent from council Mr. Eadie said. Council has also been told it is re- sponsible for the interest on the contract when the work is being ,done. Council is also protesting " to Mr; Snow the lowering of, specifications on the B -Line road. Changes have been made to build 400 foot visibility curves rather than 500 foot curves on a portion of heavily travelled red- from Highway 87 to a sideroad used as an access to Highway 4 `and the Bruce nuclear development road. Mr. Fortune said according to MTC the speed limit on 500 foot curves is 40 mph, which would lower the speed on 400 foot curves. Mr. Fortune pointed out that the traffic using the road is high speed, as many use it to travel to work every day to the Bruce nuclear generating plant. Other motions passed in con- nection with the development road included the decision to hire a land surveyor to- survey pro- perty to be bought and also that B. M. Ross and Associates be hired to engineer the Wingham portion of the B -Line. MTC was given permission to contact engineers Gamsby and Mannerow of Guelph for advice on the drain on the road and Hydro is to be contacted about a brace pole on the north side of the road at the Boast property. Since the township does not own the land; a temporary pole may be required. In other business at its Oct. 11 meeting, council passed a motion that it plans no more drainage work in Bluevale in 1977. The mo- tion continued that council under- stands MTC will open the culvert at Tolton's garage for the spring runoff. Council feels that this culvert may be too small to handle the a -J t^�.J r �•• Miss Walker had originally suggested she would pay for the addition and council could repay her in rent. Councillor Brian McBurney suggested it was more businesslike to handle it the other way around. Joe Walker, father of the post- mistress, had planned to do the work and council suggested if he still wishes to do so he should meet with council to discuss rates. Mr. McBurney added he does not think it is a good idea for after it is sent to everyone in the township with an invitation to at- tend the meeting. If accepted, the ,plan could be passed. If not, further nogotiation and public meetings will be held. The total exercise could take a year. Miss Wolfe said 10 per cent of the township residents is a good turnout at public meetings. She commented that through studies done on people who attend meet- ' ings and those who do not, it was discovered people who were someone to invest in a -public there seemed more willing to building. Mr. Fortune said he accept a decision differing. from their own. She felt this was because they heard the many views presented and realize the decision cannot always coincide with their own views. Assistance that RDOP could give Turnberry was discussed at a previous meeting between Miss Wolfe, Reeve Don Eadie and Councillor Doug Fortune: 'The needs and resources of the town- • ship were outlined at that time. doesn't think this council could commit another council to paying for the building. Mr. Eadie said he doubts it could either, without the Ontario Municipal Board approval which he didn't think would be given on a public building. • Clerk -treasurer Dorothy Kelly told council it has more money to spend than expected, as she heard from the auditor of another $20,000 in the general budget. Council had budgeted $2,000 for planning and development and Miss Walker's estimate is $3,000, including the foundation and labor. The library building will still be rented to Huron County as before at $150 a year. The county is wilt- ing to pay Miss Walker $600 a year for running the library, the same as the former librarian re- ceived. FORDWICH A miscellaneous shower was held Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Mary Ruttan in honor of Miss Linda Espensen, a bride - elect of this month. After games Linda was presented with her lovely gifts for which she thanked - everyone. Lunch was served by the hostess. Skills in chairing public meet- ings, information on -the township or county planning process and how' to obtain public input were all needs the three saw for Turn Miss Wolfe told council it could have an early meeting with the planner to ask questions and any naps the planner has may be re- quested to remain at the office for further study. She said these things are not done as no one asks for them, but if requests are made they will be met. To initiate small groups into discussing the plan, Mr. Eadie will contact the Belmore Wom- en's Institute, Deputy Reeve Harold Elliott will contact the Bluevale Institute and Mr. For- tune will contact the Turnberry Federation of Agriculture. Mr: Eadie, with councillors Brian McBurney and Ben Malda will contact people in Lower Wing - ham. N.M. Hayes Is named preceptor Norman M.

New 13oo in the Library LAUGHING LAST: ALGER HISS by Anthony Hiss The real life of the enigmatic Alger Hiss appears for the first time in Laughing Last. That life will never be found in FBI files, trial transcripts, journalistic speculation, of gossip, but in what Alger Hiss, a man seeking eomplete vindication, has con- fided to his son Tony Hiss. What Tony sees is an intricate and very private man who was the defendent in the most notori- ous trial of the century but whose Life is no more mysterious than anyone else's. For... years people have had to speculate about Alger Hiss's behaviour and moti- vations. That's because, as Tony Hiss sees it, "his private life has been the one piece ofthe puzzle that has not been available before. This is what I have to offer — and frankly it took me a while to persuade him this story is worth the telling." THE YELLOW MEADS OF ASPHODEL by H. E. Bates The last and posthumous collection of stories by . H. E. Bates contains seven works which between them exemplify most facets of his talent. Here is a story about Uncle Silas, the fore- runner of the fabulously success- ful Pop' Larkin series; a story of Miss Shuttleworth, H. E. Bates's last great comic invention, whose portrait he would certainly have developed had he lived; stories set in the midlands, and in the sunlight and exotic flora of his beloved south of France; and a modern tale of young hooligans on the road. THE DRAGON by Alfred Coppel The President, heading the United States delegation to a high-level conference in England, is actually on a meticulously planned secret mission to Mos- cow. and Peking. His critical task: to mediate the dangerously deteriorating relations between Red China and the Soviet Union. He knows the Russian Premier is desperately ill, perhaps dying. He has `just learned that China may have developed a new weapon that will immediately destroy the nuclar balance of power., Alfred Coppel has built a riveting adventure of the tear and all too possible future --and; by e, tension, a chilling com-' mentary on the present.
