to
request
u
es
t
student aid
Stanley council has decided to
once again make use of student
labor made available through the
Ausable-Bayfield Conservation
Authority this summer.
In the past such students have
built steps, cleaned the grounds
and painted to bring the Stanley
Park picnic area up to its present
standard. At council's regular
meeting last Monday night, they
decided to request the students do
further work on the park this
summer to keep it in good con-
dition.
B.M. Ross and Associates have
been engaged by the township to
inspect the bridges in the
township. This is being done at
the request of the provincial
government and will cost ap-
proximately $1,840.
The Bayfield Fire Department
was granted $1,000 with other
grants approved being $25 to the
Huron County Historic society,
$35 to the Zurich Agricultural
society, $50 to the Canadian
Cancer society and $35 to the
South Huron Agricultural
society.
Tile drain loan applications in
the sum of $40,200 were accepted.
Council decided to advertise for
tenders of the sale of the old
dumping grounds.
General accounts in the sum of
$57,014 and road accounts in the
sum of $4,996 were approved for
payment.
The tender of • Reg McGee and
Sons for a G.M.C. one ton truck in
the amount of $4,494 plus trade-in
was accepted. It was the lowest of
seven tenders.
The tender of Lavis contracting
Co. for supply, haul and road
delivery of gravel at $2.19 per
cubic yard was accepted. It was
the lowest of two tenders.
Ll4brary moved
Many gathered Wednesday
afternoon, April 6, on Main Street
to watch the building that has
housed the Library since 1964
moved across the street to
become incorporated into the
new libaary now under con-
struction. The moving took little
more than an -hour and through
the ingenuity of Doug
Gemeinhardt and his son Philip
(Tiny) the building stayed intact
an didn't collapse in the middle of
Main Street as some
would have believed. The
building is to house the Archives
and a new library is being built at
a cost of $38,387 with tentative
completion date set for May 31.
Wallis Bros. Contracting, Lon-
don, have the, contract for the
new building and sublet the
moving to the Gemeinhardts,
who
are experts at moving old
structures,
evening in the church, It was the
Easter thank -offering meeting of
the United Church Women, who
were joined by many women
from neighbouring groups,
although driving conditions that
night were very bad. Worship
centred around a skit, "The
Meaning of the Cross", which
included the singing of many of
the joyful Easter hymns.
Mrs. Karl Schuessler of
Brodhagen spoke on the study
book "Justice, not Charity". She
pointed out that where there is
justice, there is also love. The
time has come when developing
countries will no longer accept
our hand-outs, while at the same
time we are removing their raw
materials to our prosperous
countries for manufacturing, and
selling them back at high prices,
They want loans, so they can set
up industries in their countries to
provide jobs for their own people,
Ways we can help are listed in the
book, but the most effective way
they can be helped is through
parliamentary legislation, and
that is only accomplished after
pressure from the people. This
is, of course, only the barest
outline of her message, which
was very interesting.
