Delays sign re
An application for a permit
to erect a new sign in the vill-
age of Grand Bend was tempor-
arily delayed while another for
a sign replacement was approv-
ed, last Monday night.
After considerable discussion
following the application from
John Aselstyne to erect a real
estate sign on private property
in the village, the village's
newest councillor Tom Webster
submitted a motion.
The motion read, "in view
of the present situation of signs
and the strong opinion of some
members of council, a decision
on all sign permits will be del-
ayed for 21 days.
At a meeting several months
ago, council decided to freeze
all signs until an agreement witl
Championship Displays was
completed or dropped,
The agreement with Champ-
ionship had 20 days to go at the
time of Monday's meeting.
According to the village byla,
everyone must apply for a perm-
it for a sign regardless of the
location of the proposed sign.
Councillor Murray DesJardins
argues saying, "it's a little bit
of dictatorship when we tell
people where and what kind of
sign they may put up.
Reeve Bob Sharon agreed
that according to the bylaw
everyone should apply and Doug.
las Martin recommended the
owner of the property involved
make the application.
Councillor Tom Webster who
is a commission agent for a
sign company said he felt the
bylaw was a good one. He add-
ed, "if some larger centres
had a bylaw like this they would
be doing something."
Webster continued, "I think
we should review the sign sit-
uation. A $5 permit doesn't
seem to be enough. It should
be $25 for a four by eight foot
sign and $50 for anything larger.
Council did tell Aselstyne
who was present at the meeting
that the owner of the land
should make application after
a period of 21 days and it would
be considered.
Later in the same meeting
council gave permission to
Gerald Sanders, owner of the
former Monetta Menard Tavern
property near the beach to
replace an existing sign.
Sanders wished to move the
sign closer to Government road
so it can be more easily seen
from the Main street intersection.
When council first re fused
to agree to the moving forward
of the sign, Sanders said "with
the new turnaround at the end
of Main Street, a lot of people
make the turn without heading
towards the pier and thus can't
see my sign unless it is moved
westerly. "
Imminent
He was given the okay to
re -erect the sign nearer the
road providing construction
does riot interfere with an ex-
isting underground line,
As the result of a split 3-2
recorded vote Peter Rumble
was given approval to establish
a body shop on the Supertest
property on Main Street form-
erly owned by the late Law-
rence Mason.
Councillors Teevins and
Webster voted against the app-
lication while Reeve Sharon
and councillors Martin and
Desjardine gave approval,
Village legal counsel Bill
Dyer who was at the meeting
said in his opinion the applic-
ation was valid. He said the
bylaw included operations whicl
were incidental to a business
and he felt a body shop was
incidental to a service station.
Rumble said he would sign
an agreement with the village
whereby he would construct a
screen to hide any vehicles
which may be stored on the
property.
Councillor Webster said he
couldn't agree that business
should go on the main street of
a lovely village while Reeve
Sharon contered with "I wel-
come a viable business where
we get our taxes."

Storage
for glads
By now, gladiolus blooms
are little more than a fond
memory. Gardeners should dig
and store their gladiolii corms
in October, .advises Burke
McNeill, horticultural special-
ist, Ontario Ministry of Agricul-
ture and Food,
The best time to do this is on
a warm, sunny day towards the
end of the month. Dig up the
corms and let them dry in the
sun for an hour or so. That way,
the soil around the corms will
come off easily. As well, re-
move the old leaves, cutting
about half inch from each corm.
To allow the corms to dry,
place them in a paper bag, old
nylon stocking, or a flat, and
take them indoors. Wait about
two weeks and then remove
the old corms and roots from the
bottoms of the new corms. Store
the new corms in a cool dry
place (about 50 deg.)
Even in storage, thrips pose
a threat to corms. To thwart
thrips, dust the corms before
storing; use either a 5% Sevin
dust, a 5% methoxychlor dust,
or a 50/o chlordane dust.
Come spring, all you have
to do is remove the husks and
plant the corms,
