For four years following his • accident, he was bedridden in a chronic care ward ar an Owen Sound hospital. It was here that someone suggested he start sketching by holding a,pencil in his. mouth. "I thought they were crazy," he said. But he gave it a try and quickly mastered a technique: Today, his most noted work is the Old Mill, which took almost two weeks to complete and is on the cover of the Ontario March of Dimes annual report. A limited edition of the Old Mill has been reprinted by the organization and is on sale for $10. After Costs, proceeds of print sale go to Alfie to supplement his disability pension. Doreen quit work about six years ago, when Attie developed- diabetes. Alfie said he got the idea for this sketch and numerous others from pictures, photographs, and drives through the countryside. Since the mill print, he has been commissioned by several people to do sketches. This, along with recent lessons in oil painting - should keep him busy during the winter months, when the snow keeps him indoors.

Council .decided during last week's meting that the deposit will be rgquir&t- along with a signed application form regar- ding road closings. However any overpayment existing, after the deeds have been registered, will be refunded without interest. The township clerk, Dorothy Kelly, was authorized by council to revise the check list for closings into application forms. In the past residents were billed after legal work had been completed by the township solicitor. In other business council en- tered a heated discussion after Deputy Reeve Harold Ellitatt, who sits on the hospital board, asked, "Is there a township representative on the hospital board?" .Mr.. ,Elliott. was referring to a bylaw passed last month stating that only those nominated or recommended by council to serve on committees, should be paid by the township for their services. He explained that according to the board's lawyer. Jack Good- all. Mr. Elliott is the township representative.` Reeve Don Eadie stated, "it .is the feeling of this.council that you were not elected by the people of .:tile later explanted that legally Mr. Elliott is a representative of the township, however since he was not counclPs choice to sit on.the hos- pital board, he is not council's representative. During the discussion Coun- cillor Brian McBurney argued that Mr. Elliott did not give the township reports on the hospital board meetings. "1 gave you one a year ago, ' insisted Mr. Elliott. Referring to last month's bylaw Councillor ‘Doug Fortune stated firmly to Mr. Elliott, "Tice motion was passed so that only meinbers nominated or recommended by council will be paid. You don't fall into that category!" "You were nominated by two members of the board, not council," added Councillor Ben Malda According to Mr. Eadie before elections took place at the hos- pital board's annual- meeting, held last spring; Mr. Elliott suggested .to council that he would step down from the board if anyone else were interested in taking his place. As a result the township , nominated Louise Marritt to sit on "the board. However during the annual meeting Mr. Elliott, Was nominated by two members from the floor. who were not from - Turnberry Township. and he 'eventually defeated Mrs. Marritt HEAD ft SHOULDERS SHAMPOO *1 ■93 or 14 Lotion or 140 ml ,Tube 1 1010! 0111111v0DfID 'oo M ' Unm eA u Dual DDI 10 CJIDSra GILLETTE RIGHT GUARD $1 .dJ 150 ml 'BIC' ROLLOR BALL POINT MARKER WONDRA SKIN CONDITIONING LOTION 9.69 400 ml GILLETTE 'GOOD NEWS!'
