DANCE Saturday, Feb. 9 ZURICH ARENA Desardine Orchestra ADMISSION 75c Auspices of Brucefield 1.0.0.F. Everyone Welcome Rambling With Lucy (Lucy R. Woods) After predicting that colder weather might Come in February, according to the weather pattern in past year, Lucy was astonished when her husband came in on Tuesday, February 5, about two o'clock and announced; "There is a big black crow a-top one of the spruce trees." "You're fooling me!" said Lucy. "No, honest!" said he. "It is sitting up there and I heard it caw. Didn't you hear it?" Lucy had to acknowledge that she had not heard the raucous, though welcome sbund at this time of the year. Lucy had an idea that it was a bit early for crows ,so she ventured the opinion that it must have been one which stayed here over winter. "If he did, he had nerve enough to come out and an- nounce that spring is near. Perhaps we'll have an early, spring after all," he said, hopefully. So Lucy telephoned Mrs. J. E. Howard who for years has kept a record of the movement of birds. "I've never seen a crow so early!" she exclaimed. "Uusually they appear from February 19 to 26. But my sister (Mrs. Crosby) heard them at Mooretown towards the end of January." Does this one crow make a Spring? After all the cold stormy weather we've endured it would give one a lift to think that spring was just around the corner—instead of getting stuck in a snow bank on the corner of a street! P.S. Lucy is delighted to hear that in at least two gardens in Bayfield, well-protected with evergreens, the birds are still numerous, A pair of downie woodpeckers, two female cardinals, an odd junco and black cap chickadee have lately joined the bluejays at "The Hut". But they are still nervous, and Lucy learns that other feeding stations in this part and other spots in the village are not being patronized as in former years. And still there are reports of a large hawk soaring around this area. It's just been reported that a small owl nearly knocked itself out banging repeatedly at the Ken Mackie window at night, last week. The canary in the cage by the window was frantic. Now the Mackies let down the shade at night, so maybe that is another reason small birds are so nervous here this year.

The city of Edmonton, Al- berta, is named for the English town of Edmonton, birthplace of John Pruden, a clerk at the Hudson's Bay post built on the city's site before 1800. Stanley Township council viewed an attractive scale model of a new 140-lot summer subdivision at their regular meeting, Monday afternoon, However, they did not give final approval of the plans as they are still negotiating with the development company for their five percent share of the land. The subdivision, located about three miles south of Bayfield, on the 100-acre farm formerly owned by Carl Houston, is be- ing developed by the Mounts- field Development Company, London. Will Webb, representing the firm, and R. R. Higgins, the firm's planning engineer, met with council to discuss the plans. Council requested they re- ceive a three-acre lakefront portion of the land that is situated at one end of the new subdivision, and is separated by a road leading into the new area. Council have asked for the land because they feel it would make an excellent access to the beach for township resi- dents and because it is set ap- art from the rest of the sub- division would not interfere with the summer residents. • However, Webb reported this section was jointly owned by himself and two other business associates and was not part of the new development, He informed council he would contact his partners to,see if they would agree to giving this section to the township. Start in Spring Higgins, who displayed the model showing the layout of cottages, trees, roads and pri- vate park land in the subdivi- sion, reported the development company was "keen on start- ing this thing in the spring." The subdivision is part of another tract of land being developed by the Lakeshore an, all of Brucefield; Aubrey Farquhar, Exeter and Gordon Presswood, Toronto. Flower bearers were Gerald Rathwell, Lorne Thomson, Leonard O'Rourke and Ross McBeath. Interment was in the family plot in Baird's cemetery. Development Company, who have sold most of their lake- front lots already and sever- al cottages have been built. The developers of the new area have agreed to supply their own water which they plan to get from an 85-foot well and they will also build and maintain their own roads. Webb reported the roads and water would probably he turn- ed over to an association form- ed by the owners in the sub- division. Called "Carefree Acres", the area is laid' out in lots of 15,000• square feet and the minimum floor space for the cottages is to be 600 square feet. Webb reported that some of the stipulations on some of the better lots could be stricter. He informed council he would furnish them with a copy of the agreement he will have all owners sign before they build. Back Resolution • Council backed a resolution from Wentworth County asking the Ontario government to pro- hibit the use of mineral-based detergents. The resolution pointed out the "alarm" over the pollution of waters due to the mineral- based detergents which are causing serious problems in some areas. The Wentworth communica- tion pointed out Germany had prohibited the use of these de- tergents and also noted it was possible to receive the same results from organic-base de- tergents and the latter do not cause any problems as they are more easily dissolved in water. "It really doesn't affect the township," councillor Jack Scotchmer noted. "It may some day," council- lor Anson McKinley noted. Let Drain Tender Council let a tender for $938 to R. Nickelson and Son Con- struction, Moncton, for the building of the Hood municipal drain. The tender was the only one received and was considerably less than the estimate of the work.

However, he never appeared, Reeve Ernie Talbot pointed out he was not in favor of de- laying the opening of tenders, but noted that it was a fair thing to do in this case due to the stormy conditions that pre- vailed throughout the after- noon. Council received a letter from R. H. Graham, livestock commissioner, who reported the township could repeal their warble fly by-law if two-thirds of the farmers were in favor of discontinuing the regulations. However, council took no action as the members felt the regulations were a good thing to have. "There are a lot of people waiting for the spray truck this year," Scotchmer noted. "It's a real good thing," deputy-reeve Elmer Hayter added. Council authorized the clerk to advertise for applicants for warble fly inspector and set the price at $1.00 per hour and eight cents per mile for the use of his car. They also granted permission to advertise for tenders for the warble fly spraying and the warble ply powder. In other business, council: Authorized a grant of $25 to the Huron.
