Reeve Hearn said that although, for some, the banning would be an idea situation, it would be impossible to ban the snowmobiles in town 100 percent. Councillor Harry Wraith pointed out that many people came to small towns because regulations on things such , as snovithobiles were not as strict. He compared the problem of snowmobiles with the problems caused by dogs in the village. Council sent a resolution to the provincial government stating that they did not concur with the proposed boundary changes for the provincial ridings in their area. It was the opinion of the members that to be merged with Huron County to the north would be completely satisfactory. They preferred that the boundaries not be changed but, said that if the boundaries had to be changed they would like to see all of Middlesex Cdunty as one riding with the city of London having three ridings to itself. It was felt that this would give the best representation to the rural voters in Middlesex County. Clandeboye Xmas concert The St. James Church School concert was held on Sunday.
