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.

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.

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. During the ineetieg*tles--.'''.7., Elston re ed that bone residents e wondering why they havet received their' tax refulid appliehtions.
