There were demonstrations
of weaving, wood carving,
quilting and a showing of
hand -painted china which
were all most interesting.

dressed in long dresses
typical of 1897.

aka
wild a
intermittently for a number
of years. The men were
interested in whether the
dogs would be hunted and
what Howick council's
position would be if a farmer
uses a gun to protect his
livestock.
The men said some of the
wild dogs hunt in packs but
are rarely seen and "harder
to hunt than wolves". They
said they do not agree to
having a bounty hunt
because that would give
some hunters the wrong
incentive and would end up
in the hunting of any dog —
domestic or wild.
Reeve Harold Robinson
said if a tame dog is rdnning
with a wild pack, that's
reason enough to shoot it, but
the men disagreed saying
that such a measure causes
bad feelings and that they
wouldn't want to see one of
their dogs gunned down in
vengeance.
The men suggested they
could best rid the township of
wild dogs by working on the
problem on their own time
and, preferably, after a fresh
snowfall.
"You have to find them
lying in the forest in packs,"
one man said. "You won't
likely find a wild dog sitting
'at the side of the road in
daylight."
In other council business,
Clerk -treasurer Wes Ball
suggested that Howick
council should have a policy
concerning all charitable or-
ganizations. The suggestion
came after the Canadian
National Institute for the
blind asked for a grant of,
$300.
"If anybody gets a grant,"
Reeve Robinson said, "it
should be the blind." The
reeve noted, however, that
county council usually
donates to that charity, but
councillor Stuart Douglas
questioned the arrangement.
• "When the county gives,"
he said, "does the donation
include Howick Township or
is the county on its own?
Whose jurisdiction is this, or
is it a jtuisdiction at all?"
Reeve Robinson said he
would find out more about
the grant and -Would report to
the,' tduncil at • its next'
meeting.
The council received a
letter from B. M. Ross and
Associates, an engineering
firm in Goderich, informing
that they will look at the
bridge on Lot 19, Con. 6 and 7
M the spring to assess what
will be required for repairs
to the deck and railings. The
firm said it would work on a
• time and material basis.
The council was asked to
• approve the severance of 35
'\acres of farm land from Lot
15 on Con. 9 of Howick
Township. Some of the coun-
cillors were leary of the
severance because the
•
remaining 60 acres is to have
a house built on it in the
future.
Councillor Bill Newton
said, "I support it (the
severance) on the grounds
that 35 good acres will be
farmed, and I don't give a
damn if the remaining piece
is six acres or 60, when that
piece of land is not as good."
Council granted its approval
to the request.
The township library,
located in Gorrie, was a topic
of concern with council as
they feel the facility should •
be moved to a warmer, more
secure setting with better
lighting. As a result, council
will send out tenders for the
