Aiken on Tuesday, February 25. Mrs. B. Taylor, the president, conducted the business part of the meeting and the roll call was answered by an interest- ing item from "The Courier". A contest comprised of ques- tions regarding Federation was found profitable. Some of the questions• discussed were in connection with superannua- tion, benevolent and good-will funds. Mrs. M. Beattie and Mrs. Aiken, were in charge of the program and refreshments. Mrs. A. Andrews 'kindly in- vited the members of the FWTAO • to her home for the March meeting. WI Members Pay 'Heavily' For Waist Line that this would cost money. 'It-{the project/ needs .a lot of thinking," he stated- At their Monday Meeting, council learned that the pru-, Ject would probably be !eligible for grant under the .centen., nial project setup, as Well as for loan under the. Municipal Works Assistance program, al- though both could not be re- CeiVed, phder the centennial pro- ject plan, the government would give A grant of up to $4.00 per township resident, while under the .other plan, the government . "forgives" the payment of 25 percent of the loan. Clerk Thompson noted the latter would. be the better plan to use for a larger project. Council decided to wait until next meeting to discuss the topic further, and may even call a special meeting for this purpose. During the discussion when Clerk Thompson/ noted he could not even guess what may take place in the next 10 to 15 years, Reeve Stirling inter- jected that he knew one thing that was certain. "We'll still be paying taxes," he predicted, Fix Dump At. the request of council, Roy Tyndall, road superintend- ent, stated he would have the township employees clean up the municipality's dump. Several councillors raised ob- jeotions over the condition of the dump and criticised those who used it for not taking a little extra time to burn some of the papers they deposit there. There was some diecussion held as to whether or not a sign should be erected asking people to burn papers so they would not blow around the neighbourhood and create un- sightly conditions. No action was taken on this suggestion. Council also concurred with a resolution from Peel County council asking the government to make it mandatory that in- Wetting communities pay for all expenses involved 'in the calling of "frivolous" hearings of the Ontario Municipal Board. The petition noted that many such frivolous hearings were called and some were can- celled by the initiating munici- pality before action was taken, thus adding expenses to mun- icipalities which had taken steps to defend the position over which the hearing had been called. It also urged that the cost of all unsuccessful bids 'be paid for by the initiating pality. In other business, council: Approved the sale of a lot by Phil Bissett to Kenneth Mc- Adam in the farmer's subdi- vision near Goderich. Read several pieces of cor- respondence reporting• that sal- es of lands in the township be- tween private citizens had been approved. Appointed Alex Chesney as township weed inspector.

Lunch was served to Dee er 50 guests. Mr. and Mrs. Grainger and Mr. and Mrs. J. Lindsay had been making ice cream well ahead of time so were able to serve generously at lunch time. This easied Bert's mind as ee wondered how,: that one little container they made was going to 'be divided between him, and all the other guests. Members from Mrs. Dunn's family, Mit- chell, were not able to attend the party but came on Sunday and presented their sister and brother-inlaw with table lamps to match the floor lamp.

(2) Government premiums for A Grade hogs can only be paid on hogs 'marketed thrmigh the board, making packer-pro- ducers ineligible. Disadvantages: Mar- keting boards could become' too dictatorial when production control is attempted. Cards were played and lunch was served. The meeting 'next Monday night will be at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lobb. Rambling With Lucy (Lucy R. Woods) "Spring is for the birds—Do it now." Dick Williams successfully enacted this motto before the panel on Act Fast, CFPL-TV, on Sunday evening, It brought several matters to. Lucy's mind. First, Lucy's spouee saw hundreds of horned larks as he drove to Clinton on Friday last. No doubt about it, the birds are coming back! Lucy appreciates a bit of fan mail received this year. Amongst others, a young mother wrote to tell •her how much she enjoyed the rambling last week. (Qf course, in this inst- ance .Lucy really cannot take the ' credit, She merely re- corded the signs that Mrs. Howard had enumerated). But this mother added one more sign—a woolly brown caterpillar was found crawling around her kitchen. The writer had read the Clinton News-Record at 4 a,m. while watching beside her sick baby. And having read she followed the motto "Do it now" and wrote a letter. It was brought to a conclusion when the baby needed more attention, But not before the writer had expressed the 'view that she didn't quite enjoy living so far off the. highway when it came to walking down a long lane' through two feet of snow. She and her husband had had to carry the children through it to the road when illness necessitated a visit to the doctor. Usually this cheerful young 'matron expressed her fond- ness for the rural parts, the farther from the beaten track the better. Now she has no desire to go back to pioneer days! And then Lucy thought: Why cannot the residents of Bayfield and vicinity take "Do it now" for their motto in telephoning news items, unusual occurrences, animal or bird stories, personals, reports of meetings, etc., to Lucy as soon as they occur? Tuesday is the deadline. She is never out, in the winter and not 'too often in the summer. Unless the public helps in this way, the Bay- field column which is to many in other. parts, "a letter from home" will have little of interest to those who await its arrival eagerly each week. One of Lucy's friends follows the motto: She telephoned last week and asked if Lucy had seen the two bright stars in the south-west. Lucy had to admit that she had no op- portunity to look at the stars. Her gaze has been turned earthward and for so many yeaers she watched so carefully where she planted her feet, that the glories of the heavens were forgotten. Her friend asked if Mr. Diehl had noticed them. They were so very bright that she wondered if they could be satellites in orbit as they disappeared so quickly. Then on Saturday she telephoned again to see if Lucy had seen them on Panorama, CFPL-TV. Lucy saw the •heavenly bodies this way. And her spouse went outside to view Venus and Jupiter. • "Mr." really knows quite a bit about the stars. Lucy must confess that when she was young she did considerable ' star gazing, but as to knowing the different constellations, ale she could identify were the Big Dipper and Little Dipper. And now come Venus and Jupiter to give the largest show in the sky to those who viewed them through the telescope at the Observatory, University of Western Ontario. Jupiter is the largest planet (excepting the Sun) in the heavens. It revolves around the Sun in 11 years, 217 days. It has four satellites or moons which revolve around it. It was named for the ancient mythical god who was the ruler of the heavens and whose weapon was the thunderbolt. Venus, the second planet in order Of distance from the sun, revolves in an orbit between those of Mercury and the earth. This silvery bright morning or evening star is named for the Greek goddess of love. This is one of the rare times when Jupiter and Venus appear in close proximity to eath other and closest to the earth. Did you ever watch a star and decide that it was danc- ing? Actually, in line with a 'stationery object it is only going down to this horizon with time. If you haven't viewed Venus and Jupiter, "Do it now." Early in the evening, they disappear quickly beyond the horizon in the southwestern sky. And nbw to come back to earth—March came in like the proverbial Iamb! It is therefore, according to folk lore, to go out like a lion, which doesn't bade well for an early spring, Pagg ,News-Re 9.0.. Thuys,,, March. 5, 1904 1 e LOOK AND SEE Thought of changing your job?
