The two members of the OMB, A. H. Arrell and V. S. Milburn, advised the gathering they would forward their decis- ion at a later date. Meanwhile, it is anticipated that the quest- ion of the new building will be- come an election issue, with no- mination meeting scheduled for Friday night. C. V. Laughton, QC, repre- senting the village council, pre- sented the necessary affidavits to the OMB officials. He also pointed out that according to the auditor's report, the village should end the year with a sur- plus of a bout $3,000. Councillor Milton Desch, who has registered opposition to the idea of the $10,000 building, ad- vised the OMB that he was speaking for about 90 percent Hensall Businesses Plan Store Hours Hensall businessmen meeting last Wednesday night, set the date of Saturday, December 16, at 2:30 p.m., for the annual Christmas party for the child- ren of Hensall and District.

He added that many of the bus- iness people in the village are opposed to the idea, and he had been asked to speak for them. A ratepayer of the municipa- lity as well as the local jewel- ler, Albert Hess advised the board that he hated to be op- posed to advancements in the village, but he felt the council should be calm about putting the ratepayers into debt for the amount of the new structure, especially in the face of tough- er times ahead. Two ratepayers, H. W. Brok- enshire and Ivan L. Kalbfleisch both felt the village would be better to try and purchase the Township Hall, and incorporate the municipal office into that building. They both claimed there is need for accommoda- tions for such organizations as the Boy Stouts, Girl Guides, Women's Institute, and others, By fixing up the Township Hall, these groups would have meet- ing space. available. Others who voiced strong op- position to the plan were Wil- Iiam Decker, Henry Steinback, Roy Lamont and Peter Deich- ert. Only one ratepafer, other than reeve Llyod O'Brien and councillor, Leroy Thiel, spoke in favour of the new municipal building. Donald Oke, a local building contractor, said he felt that it was only the olderpeo- ple in the village who opposed the idea, and that all the young- er people were in favour of the project. He added that there were no more young people at the hearing because they were all working. Reeve Lloyd O'Brien explain- ed to the OMB the reason for the council wanting to build a new municipal office. He said the cost of moving the present clerk's office would be fantastic due to the cement vault being built in the structure. He went on to say that he knew nothing of any people in the village be- ing opposed to the idea until about a month ago, when it was brought to light at a council meeting. eev • ..rat. Reeve O .rn added th..r the present clerk's office has no facilities, such as plumbing, in it, and he felt municipal ' k's should not have to work ender such circumstances. Ile con- cluded by saying that if there was too much opposition t:; the idea of a new building, the council would be simpl;, c; •er- ruled in the matter.. At the present time the cr,un- cil owns two properties on which they could erect a new building, For several years they have owned a lot between the residence of Milfred Schil- be and Len Wagner and about a year ago they purchased from Charles Thiel the property be- tween Westlake Furniture and Hay Fire Insurance Company. 0 Zurich Lions Club Plan Three Events The Zurich Lions Club, at their regular dinner meeting on Monday night, made final plans for their Broom and Bulb sale, which will take place on Wednesday, November 2 9.
