LL A UT INTERESTING HAPPENINGS wF "fin weegym Bayfield Ratepayers Associat- ion met for their annual meeting Saturday morning in the Old Town Hall. Frank Burch, presi- dent of the association, wel- comed everyone and outlined some of the aspects expected to come out of the meeting. He called oti reeve Ed Oddleifson to speak on behalf of the Village Council. In his report the reeve out- lined the activities of Council for the past year; recapping the continuance of and new bus- iness that will arise in the com- ing months. He stated that the village mill rate had been low- ered 5 mills; the county rate lowered one mill, but since the education rate had jumper 4 mills a net reduction amounted to 2 mills. Financially the vill- age is in good shape, there are no debts and no debentures. Two years of the five year proposed paving program had been compl- eted; and the tentative contin- uation program is to finish Tuyll Street to Cameron Street; Chiniguy Street, and Catherine Street. The official plan for the Village has as yet not been approved. more commercial property is needed and a public meeting regarding re -zoning will be held in the near future. The two-year drainage prog- ram is partially completed. The reeve and clerk attended a meet ing in Sarnia last Thursday on the Task Force on Policing in Ontario; although nothing was resolved ideas were put forth and were well received. The reeve also stated that the 0. P. P detachment near Goderich were doing a good consistent job of policing the village A very serious problem in the near future is the closure of the garbage dump by the Depart- ment of Environment. The dump is maintained jointly by the Village of Bayfield and Stanley Township. As there is no re- course fo this issue, the reeve has spoken to the officers of the Holmesville Sanitary Land Fill Site and found they could accommodate the village. This would mean roughly two dollars AY IELD IN ONTARIO'S PRETTIEST VILLAGE per capita for disposal and some. where in the neighbourhood of fifteen dollars per household for garbage collection per year, and would amount to approxim- ately ten mills on the taxes. Through this discussion (which, affects every villager) a motion by Rev. George Youmatoff, seconded by Harvey MacDoug- all, that the association asked the council of the Village of Bayfield to proceed without delay in making the necessary arrangements for garbage remov al according to the plan outlined by reeve Oddleifson. Unanim- ous approval was given to the above motion. The reeve also spoke of the Beach Management Agreement and told the meeting that the papers in Toronto with the Dep- artment of Natural Resources and were in the process of being signed. When completed the Village will form a Harbour Con mission and hold a public meet- ing for those interested in the operation of a properly run harb- our. When the south shore is developed sanitary facilities, showers and holding tanks etc., are a few of the aspects to take into consideration. This should start in the spring. Council is also persuing the Senior Citizens Housing; and asking the Housing Corporation to re-examine the suggested location as there is a large disposal plant and an adequate water system. A hist- orical Plaque marking 126 years of postal service in the village is to be unveiled at the New Post Office on August 25, at 2 p.m.. The study of erosion was a problem delved into by council, with no reasonable solution found. 6600 feet of beach is subject to erosion in the village and the cost would be roughly $100, 000. which is definitely out of reach. Requests by citizens for Cable TV, resulted in the discovery that at $6000 a mile, there was no way at present to obtain it as there weren't enough subscrib• ers for the company to bring it this far.

Speed bumps were brought up by citizens at the meeting, and with the majority of those present wanting these, the reeve said council will take them under discussion at a meeting. Mr. Norm Brown spoke to the meeting regarding the River Flats issue, and as yet nothing has been resolved.

Yours truly, husband and family have returned from a very delightful holiday in Nash- ville Tennessee. You doubt you have heard of "Southern Hospitality, " ,vell we found it in abundance in Tennessee; from the Hermitage Trailer Park on the famous J. Percy Priest Lake where we had our bus - camper situated to the shopping plazas in the heart of the city. We were treated to a perform- ance at the Grand Ole Opry; saw some of the Opry Star's homes; the Governors Mansion; had a car loaned to us, a baby- sitter and had dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Witt. The people were extremely friendly and genuinely interested in our hometown and Canada in general. Being from a farming area we noticed especially the field of tall, tall corn; the soyabeans, which looked like fields of shrubs, the red clay soil, the white sand and white rock. We saw very few herds of cattle, and meat is a very expensive item; hamburger is unavailable (at any price). The people of Tennessee are complaining as much as we Canadians about the price of food, which has risen to tremendous.heights in the past few months. Although we were glad to cross the border into Canada again; it is a holi- day long to beremembered, and is our plan to return for another visit to Tennessee real soon.
