Horsemen say the trucks cross- ing the track pose a threat when they are exercising their hor- ses. They also believe the snow will pose a serious drainage problem in the spring, and that trucks have dug up the grounds. Sup't Paisley said his men would clean up the area after the snow is gone. Paisley asked council to con- sider providing him with a $40 monthly allowance for use of his car on town business or buying another town vehicle for his use, IN EFFECT Premier John Robarts and his family brought in New Year's at their summer home in Grand Bend. The Ontario premier was among a group freni Oakweed who enjoyed New Year's eve dinner at the Green Forest Motor Hotel, owned by Campbell Chapman. There were about 40 adults and, an equal number of children for the early evening festivities. The adults remained to welcome 1964 with the help of George Walker's combo from Strath- roy. The premier's party was one of a number at the summer resort, including the traditional one at the Legion ball,- spon- sored by the lecal branch. At the Village Inn, advance sale of tickets for the evening, entertainment and dinner, pro- vided a group of 100 young people with the opportunity for a "twisting" night, and an ex- cellent meal after midnight. Orval Wassmann, owner, en- gaged the Crescendos for the event, John IVIcInnes at the Imperial Hotel, had a party of about 40 people, mainly from London, who had arranged for evening festivitie s, accommodation overnight, and then a trip to the Walker Ski Hills on New Year's Day to enjoy the facili- ties offered there by the Grand Bend Winter Sports Club. With another 20 people also making reservations, the Year 1964 was welcomed in with great enthusiasm. Music was by the Tel-Tones, London. At the Colonial Hotel, being managed this year by J.

The plan, which will cost the town about $1,500 a year, pays medical services, injury bene- fits, sickness payments and life insurance on a 24-hour protec- tion basis. Council agreed to buy the plan from Mutual Life representa- tive Gerald Godbolt after the salesman reported all of the town employees agreed to par- ticipate. PUC staff may join the group plan, too, which comes into effect in February. Councillor Ross Taylor ob- jected to some duplication in coverage from workmen's com- pensation, PSI and other plans now in effect. PSI, however, will be dropped and Taylor support- ed the approving motion. SNOW REMOVAL Council discussed snow re- moval problems at some length but reached no decisions in re- gard to equipment or method. None of the members, or Works Sup't Paisley, was satis- fied with the present operation but there was no agreement on means to improve it. Among the suggestions were purchase of a small bulldozer to plow sidewalks as well as perform other work, and buying a blower to prevent snow from piling up. However, since con- ditions in December were ab- normal, there was doubt that the equipment would be justified in a normal winter. Said the mayor: "I don't think we should concern ourselves about it". Asked Sup't Paisley: "What's the people's opinion? Have we had too much or not enough snow removal?" He got no ans- wer. OBJECT TO DUMPING Objection was raised to the dumping of snow inside the race chair table.
