ALWAYS A FAVOURITE - A clown is always popular wherever a crowd gathers, and the Band
Tattoo in Zurich last Wednesday night was no exception. Shown here are two of the youngest

The Student Workers Environ-

(S . W . E, E. P,) plans to start soon
on a project for cleaning up the
Bayfield beaches. it asked for a
written request from the council
to undertake the project, and
also requested permission to burn
the large pieces of flammable
rubbish, such as wood and paper,
right on the beach. Both requests
have been granted.
In an attempt to obtain an
accurate map of the village, it
was arranged that aerial photo-
graphs be taken. However, Mr.
Scullion of the International
Mapping 0o. says that regret -
ably there was too much leaf
coverage this spring to yield
successful results. The Council
has decided to ask the company
to take care of this matter in the
late fall.
With regard to further police
protection in the summers, Reeve
Oddleifson says that it would be
possible to make a contract with
the Ontario Provincial Police,
but this must be done before they
pass their budget in the fall.
However, additonal police

Three years have past since
the last vote on liquor laws in
Bayfield, and the Town Council
was requested last Monday night
to review the situation.
The time span between change:
in laws concerning liquor in a
given area is due to the policy
of the Liquor Control Board of
Ontario.
Three years ago Bayfield vot-
ed down the proposal of becomin€
a wet area, but now the matter
is to be reconsidered.
Three suggestions were made
by citizens of Bayfield present
at the Council meeting. Firstly,
that there be an L.C.B.O, outlet
in the village; secondly, that
there be a store combining the
L. C.B.O. and the Brewer's Re-
tail; and thirdly, that it he
made possible for a dining room
or restaurant to obtain a liquor
licence. It was generally agreed
that the first suggestinn was
most fitted to the wants and need:
of the community.
The Council advised that a
petition should be circulated,
and then submitted to Council.
The petition must be supported

on both sides of Highway 21,
from Clan Gregor Square down
to the south boundary of the
village (Cedar Grove), and on
the east side of Argyle St. from
McTavish up to and including
Allan.
Covers are needed on the lights
at the Community Centre, where
they are being unscrewed const-
antly. The siding which has
been bought for the Arena will
be installed soon.
The Community Centre Board
lost a member when Don Beck
moved to Hensall. It was moved
by Councillor MacFadden and
seconded by Councillor Warner
that Ted Gozzard replace him.
The council of the village of
Zurich are upset over some farm
er dumping an entire barn roof
on their municipal dump, and
have instructed their solicitor,
C.V. Laughton, Q.C. to advise
the guilty party to remove the
debris. The matter was brought
to light at the regular meeting
of council last Thursday night.
According to several memb-
ers of council, who reported on
the misuse of the dump, the
metal which was dumped had
apparently gone through a fire.
After considerable searching, it
is believed the roof came from
a barn which had burned down
sometime in recent months.
In other business at the reg-
ular meeting, council agreed to
become much more stringent
in regards to building by-laws,
Councillor Louis Schilbe was
appointed as building inspector,
and authority was given to the
inspector, clerk and chairman
of the property committee to
approve applications for build-
ing permits.
In the past, all applications
for building permits had to wait
for approval of the council
meeting, and this sometimes
meant a delay in an applicant
being able to start his project.
Now approval will be given in
short order, if the plans meet
with the conditions in the Zur-
ich building by-laws.
Approval was given to the
hydro system to purchase up to
100 new style streetlights from
the city of Stratford. The
lights, which have been used
slightly, are of the type used
in many municipalities now,
and are available to the village
at five or six dollars each.
Work on the installation of the
new lights to replace all old
style units, will be carried out
in the next couple of months
as time permits.
A letter was received from the
Ausable River Conservation Au-
thority, asking the village to
name a representative to that
group. A member of council,
Herb Turkheim, was appointed
to serve for the balance of this
year.
In other business at the
meeting, clerk W. D. Armstrong
was instructed to write a letter
to Rev. L. Kalbfleisch, advis-
ing him that it would not be
practical to construct a new
sidewalk in front of his residence
at the present time. Council
members felt that since many
roads and sidewalks will be
torn up in the next year for
water and sewage construction
it would not be economical to
build new walks and then have
them torn up again.
Two building permits were
approved at the meeting; one
to Milne Rader for $300 for a
new roof, and one to D,L,
O'Brien, for $200, to construct
a sun deck.
Accounts in the amount of
$3853. 67 were approved for
payment.

of Stanley, at their regular
meeting last week, awarded a

In other business at the meet-
ing, the Stanley council chang-
ed their by-law pertaining to
tile drainage loans, to confirm
with new Ontario regulations.
At the same time they accepted
an application for a tile drain
loan in the amount of $4200,
Councillor Tom Consitt was
appointed as the Stanley rep-
resentative on the Ausable
River Conservation Authority.

ed at the meeting, and in each
case approval was given to
call tenders. The report of the

UNWANTED GARBAGE - Some good-natured farmer throughout this area presented the Zurich
Municipal dump with a gift last week ---the roof off an entire barn that had been destroyed by fire.
Members of council have instructed their solicitor to advise the farmer to remove the rubbish to
another location, since the Zurich dump is for residents of the village only.
