BOWLING CHAMPIONS—Five students from the Golden Circle School in Wingham were
in Kitchener on Friday to take part in the annual Bowlarama—and they brought home the
trophy, emblematic of championship in their class. Competing with schools in which at-
tendance is from one to 20 pupils, the Golden Circle team was in top place, each of the
team members bowling over 100. From the left are Ruth Struthers, Daryl Zimmerman,
Nellie, Veldhorst, Steve Miller, and at the rear, Michael Zimmerman. Daryl also won the
award for highest score, not only in his own category, but highest in the three classes
competing. His highest single game was a whopping 338. Each team member received a
smaller "keeper" trophy.

Wingham Town Council
(Continued from Page 1)
there appeared to be no feeling
that the present timing is cauding
a problem so no action was taken
by council.
Also filed was a resolution from
the Township of Hope which
seeks to have the province update
the Equalization Factors on
which assessments are based for
both general purposes and edu-
ation levies.
$1000 PER HOME
A letter from the Ministry of
Hu using reminded the town that
grants are available to make the
provision of low-cost homes eas-
ier. A grant of $1,000 per home
will be paid to the municipality,
provided the homes fall within
certain federally -set standards.
One of the requirements is that
such housing units must not be
less than 10 to the acre and must
not exceed 1,300 square feet for a
four-bedroom dwelling. The clerk
was -asked to seek further details
of the plan.
Finance Committee Chairman
Margaret Bennett presented ac-
counts totalling ;100,362.09 for
approval. They included an item
of $16,399 which were draw pay-
ments to the contractor who is
constructing the new day care
centre and which will be paid
back by the province.
Joe Kerr, chairman of the pub-
lic works committee, reported on
the road work which is planned
for this year. The single block of
Patrick Street from Minnie to
Leopold will be rebuilt. An oil and
chip surface treatment will be
applied to Bristol Terrace from
the OPP station to the Lloyd
property, a block west, as well as
to the street adjacent to the
swimming pool. Paving of the B
Line west from Josphine Street
will be paid for on a 50-50 basis by
the town and the township.
Considerable discussion ensued
as to the choice of roads to be im-
proved. It was pointed out that+
Shuter Street is in bad shape and
there have been numerous com-
plaints from residents. Mr. Ker;
agreed that many other streets in
town should be surfaced, but that
the limitations of budget dictated
the amount which can be handled
in one year.
INCREASE FEE
On motion Don Carter was
granted an increase in the fee for
collection of garbage in the town.,,
The annual charge agreed upon
will be $15,500.
Reporting for the property
committee, Councillor Angus
Mowbray said that Trudy Holmes
and Debbie Foxton have been
hired as summer assistants for
the day care centre.
Repairs have been carried out
at the Lower Wingham dam, re-
placing fill which was washed out
in the spring flood. Stop logs were
to be replaced in the dam on
Tuesday and in a few days the
pond will be filled.
The flower pots for Josephine
Street lighting standards have
been ordered and will be placed
shortly.
Councillor Allan Harrison read
with some regret a letter from an
industrial firm which had looked
at possible sites here. The letter
said that the firm had made its
decision to locate in Walkerton.
Councillor Jack Gillespie said
progress on the new day care
centre building near the swim-
ming pool is good and he outlined
the stage at which construction
now stands. Other councillors re-
marked on the high quality of
workmanship in the building.
Mr. Gillespie said considerable
difficulty has been experienced in
meeting requirements of the pro-
vincial department
+relative to
allowable costs for interior fur-
nishings and equipment for the
centre. The ministry stipulates
that $18,400 will be the maximum
approved, while the local com-
mittee has been hard pressed to
pare the figure dawn to ;24,000.
