Members of L.O.L. 1035 en-
tertained their wives at a banquet
at the White Carnation on Friday
evening. After the supper, they
went bowling in Clinton.
Mr. & Mrs. Louis Taylor, ac-
companied by Mr. & Mrs.
Murray Taylor and children, flew
to Tampa, Florida a week ago
Sunday for a week-long holiday.
Among the places they visited
were the movie Hall of Fame
near Cypress Gardens and
Disney World. The most en-
joyable event they took in was the
Passion Play at Lake Whales,
which is put on each year for six
weeks preceding Easter. Another
highlight was a visit to Beatrice's
cousin, Mrs. Howard Scar-
borough of Sun City Centre,
whom she hadn't seen for thirty
years. Mrs, Scarborough retired
three years ago from her position
at the White House in
Washington.

Shanley residents discuss recreation
It seems many of the residents
of Stanley township feel there has
been enough development in the
township already in the areas of
campsites, trailer sites and
cottages.
This feeling was voiced by
several of the nearly 100
residents who attended the third
in a series of public planning
meetings in the Varna hall
Tuesday, March 29.
Bev Hill demanded to know
how long the sanitary landfill site
will last with its present load and
the additional strain put on it in
the summer months. Stanley
Reeve Tom Consitt responded by
saying the landfill site had been
originially expected to last 20
years with normal population
increases. The present per-
manent population of Stanley is
1,600.
George Penfold of the County
Planning Department informed
the meeting the County plan
designates the lake shoreline for
summer residential use and
wondered if the residents present
would be interested in giving
their council some idea of just
how far back from the shoreline
they feel cottages should be
allowed.
Under the County plan cottage
subdivisions along the lake shore
are allowed only up to 1,000 feet
back from the shoreline. John
McIntyre suggested it might not
be wise to draw a straight line
and say west of it is development
when there is a good deal of
excellent farm land along the
Lakeshore and lots of marginal
farmland available in other areas
of the township.
Another ratepayer felt there
was enough development along
the lakeshore as it is. He added
his main concernwas being able to
take his family to the lake for a
swim without being hasseled by
cottage owners.
The general feeling emerged
here that there should be stricter
enforcement of public access to
the beach and many no
trespassing signs put up by
cottagers are in fact not legal and
should be removed. In fact, the
meeting was told the beach up to
the high water line is public and
is not owned by any cottager.
Council was commended by
several residents for their
foresight in purchasing the
lakefront property they have .
since turned into a public park for
the residents of the township at
the end of sideroad 10.
The Bayfield riverfront was
another topic of concern as
Goderich township has
designated most of their side of
the riverfront natural en-
vironment which means they will
allow no development. Some
residents felt this was dictating to
owners what they can and can not
do with their land and was not
fair but members of council said
they felt they had to do what was
in the best interests of the
township not just a single
ratepayer.
Once the secondary plan for the
township has been settled, there
would be annual public meetings
to make sure the ratepayers feel
the plan is serving their best
