Mrs. Sothern is especially proud of the Fordwich Tweeds- muir book which has a hand -tooled leather cover de- signed by the late Wilda Campbell. The front cover of the book is the Fordwich WI crest while the back cover is a design of trilliums and maple leaves. Town Council Sho Jack Van Camp, public works foreman, has been appointed as chief building official for the town of Wingham. This gives him authority to issue building permits and enforce building bylaws. The action was taken by town council Monday night after a report from the planning board pointed out that under town bylaw former works commissioner Mike Chappell was still the chief building official. The board repOrted that the Building Code Act requires that the municipality appoint such an official, who then becomes responsible for issuing permits and enforcing building bylaws and statutes. The chief official may be required to report to council, but council does not have the authority to approve or reject permit applications. Councillor Jim . Currie objected to this procedure, declaring isn't right that the town could be held responsible for a decision made by the chief building official when council doesn't have any part • in, „ the decisions. Council also agreed to enroll Mr. Van Camp in the Association of Building Officials of Ontario and provide time off and ex- penses for him to attend courses and seminars of- fered by the association. • Council • passed two resolutions Monday night Pew ) Misses Hilda and Norah Cowell of Hamilton and Miss Jane Cowell of Toronto visited recently with Mrs. Jean Aitchison. Don Vair of Belgrave, • . pastor of Westfield Church, was guest speaker at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning His sermon topic was "Freedom From Fear", Mrs. Bill McCool on Friday evening celebrated another milestone in her life with a house party on her birthday, attended by many dear neighbors and friends. This was 'followed on Saturday and Sunday by dinner parties with out-of- town relatives and friends. The P.H.A.M, ,celebrated their 40th reunion at the home of Mrs Robert Rae in London on Monday, June 8 aimed at designating several buildings ashistorical beildings..This would make them eligible for heritage grants to assist with repair work. The first resolution designates the old, post office huilding, scheduled. for repairs this 'summer, as a heritage building. The second lays the groundwork for a local archi- tectural conservation advis- ory committee (LACAC) to look at other buildings, such as the town hall, which also could be so designated. The LACAC would' be a group of interested citizens which would prepare studies of buildings and areas in town and make recom- mendations • to council concerning the designation of heritage buildings and repairs to them. Grants for renovations would be made through this committee. . Councillor Pat Bailey proposed a motion Monday night to reinstate Gordon Carter as town caretaker and hire a part-time assistant to help him, However Councillor Bill Crump pointed out the motion was out of order since Mr. Carter still holds that position. "We can't reinstate him because he's never been. terminated." Mrs. Bailey reported she has had "about 30" com- plaints from townspeople about council's plan to call tenders on, the cleaning of town buildings instead of BSc GRADUATE Pat Stemshorn of Mont real recently graduated with a BSc in home econ- omics from the Univer- sity of Western Ontario.' Pat will be working at the Wingham and District Hospital for the summer months as a dietary aide. ( Snyder Photo) hiring its own caretaker as in the past. Mr. Carter likes his job and is deeply concerned, she said. Councillor Tom Miller, chairman of the property committee, pointed out that no decision has been made yet on, the matter. "We're not necessarily going to accept any tenders. We' haNien't decided yet." • Councillor Jerry Chomyn added that the committee still is in the process of sorting through the tenders and plans to interview the people who bid on the job, including Mr. Carter. ..;,,e..•07-0 —0 The ' town is asking its solicitor to look into the ownership. of the so-called 'tot lot' in Maitland Estates, to see who is responsible for cleaning it up. Reeve Joe Kerr reported he received three complaints on the weekend that water in the drainage ditch was getting deeper and some parents were afraid a child might drown in it. The town has installed a snow fence beside the ditch, but children still can get around the end of it. Council decided to try an settle the question of owner- ship before proceeding further. If the town' owns it, it will clean up the lot; if it still belongs• to the 'developer, the town will notify him to clean it up, or will takeaction itself. and then bill him. . 0-0-0 Council also is asking its Solicitor to clear up a dispute over ownership of 1,8 feet of land betweenItiverside Park -and the flax barn property at the end of Patrick Street purchased'by Jim Currie. The most recent survey appears to show that Mr. Currie owns the land, which now is part of the park, hoyever a solicitor's letter to the town indicated that claim to ownership is rather vague. The town now is asking whether a new survey would help to resolve the'dispute. Councillor Jerry Chomyn reported the parks board still is "adamantly opposed" to giving up the .property, noting it would leave a chunk of land jutting out into the park right beside the new picnic shelter. Mr. Currie left the council chambers while the matter was being discussed.
