rcived encouragement and
pep talks from i two guest
speakers, Walter Arnolds,
deputy district governor,
and Larry Eastwood, a
representative from the Port
Elgin Club, during Tuesday
evening's general meeting.
Mr. 'Arnolds encouraged
the present members to
- bring in new blood for fresh
ideas and suggested that
experienced members con-
sider participating in the
cabinet.
"I would like to see this
club get involved in the
cabinet if possible," he said,
adding that zone chairmen
visit and speak at other club
gatherings, pick up new
ideas and receive an op-
portunity to meet more
members.
The next cabinet meeting
will be held in Arthur on Feb.
22 and the convention is
scheduled for Owen Sound on
April 24, 25 and 26.
Mr. Eastwood focused on
The Year of the Disabled
Person. "All too often we
tend to consider the handi-
capped as not being able to
take care of themselves. All
they need is the freedom to
say I can do it."
Mr. Eastwood asked the
local Lions to check in their
own area for handicapped
people and make sure they
visit them.
"They are not looking for
sympathy. They are looking
to you, for help, so they can
help themselves."
In other business, Russell
Zurbrigg discussed the
variety show, which the club
will be organizing for
Frostyfest. The show, which
will be held on Feb. 19 at the
Town Hall, will include
entertainment from various
community groups, such as
the Kinsmen, Optimists, the
Towne Players, the town
police, fire department and
Scouts. .
Tbe. crowning of the

Morris may cooperate
with HCFA's plan for
waste recycling sites
Morris Township may
cooperate with the Huron
County Federation of
Agriculture in its efforts to
establish waste recycling
plants, similar to the one
used in Colborne.
During Monday's general
council meeting, a letter was
presented from the
federation stating that
Colborne's method of re-
cycling garbage into.com-
post requires less land tan,
standard waste disposal
sitee,aed doeetet pollute the
environment. .7. Aci:ding,..49
the federation, muni-
cipalities are spending
money unnecessarily just to
get rid of their waste.
Morris Township decided
that if the federation can
prove the system' to be
financially feasible, it will
cooperate with such a
project.
Six applications were
opened for the position of dog
counter for Morris Town-
ship. Les Brewer, who
tendered $1.15 per dog, was
hired for the position. The
tenders ranged from $1.15
per dog to$2.00.
A severance application
from Charles and Catherine
Terpstra, the north half of
Lot 25, Con. 7, was recom-
mended for approval by the
council. The .request was to
sever a surplus residence
(1.85 acres) off a 100 -acre
farm.
Morris will be applying for
a supplementary subsidy for
extra costs of the Martins
Bridge. It will be applying
for an 80 per cent subsidy of
$45,000.
' The original estimate for
the bridge was $340,000,
however the final cost was
approximately $400,000.
In other business, the
Wingham and Area Day
Centre for the Homebound
asked the township for a $500
grant to help cover its
operating expenses. Before
deciding on the grant council
wants to see the centre's
financial statement and
wants to know how many
Morris residents use the
facility. The centre is located
in the Wingham Armouries.
A grant of $100 was
awarded to the Belgrave,
Blyth and Brussels School
Fair i3oard.
Donald Craig was ap-
pointed at the meeting to

Board for 1981.

Councillors Bob Grasby
and Clare Van Camp agreed
that the lack of signs is
causing a problem in the
village, especially for people
who are looking for a par-
ticular address. However
Reeve Bill Elston said the
cost of gravel is increasing
and more money may be
needed for the 125th an-
niversary celebrations,
therefore council should wait
to see if there is enough
money for the signs.
Council decided to wait
until budget time (May)
before deciding -on the
project. "But I would like to
see it get done before the end
of this -Year," said Mr. Van'
Camp. -
The township is calling for
tenders for approximately
35,400 yards of pit run and
25,000 of crushed gravel.
Tenders should be in -the
clerk's office by Feb. 27.
