About 30 persons attended the meeting, most of those from Kirkton, Blanshard and Usborne Townships. Approval for the call to tenders is based on one con- dition, however, that the com- mittee continue to canvass for donation pledges. Chairman of the pool com- mittee, Ross Robinson, told the gathering that $35,000 in pledges has been collected to date, about $15,000 short of the $50,000 goal that the committee had set for itself. According to the estimates of three contractors who have been contr zted by the committee, the outdoor swimming pool would cost around $100,000. Robinson said that two provincial grant shave been applied for which would cover 50 percent of that total cost. The grantg are from Wintario and Community Cen- tres, An initial motion that the committee be given authority to proceed with calling tenders and then construction was defeated by a large majority of the persons who came to the meeting. It was felt that construction should not be allowed to begin until the pool committee has collected a total of pledges "which is within range of the tendered cost of construction the pool". The motion which was ap- proved was similar to the defeated one but limited the committee's authority to accept a tender and allow work on the pool to begin by stating that the tender would have to be within the range of the pledged donations collected. It still allows the committee to dertermine whether their pledges are "within range" however, The meeting was chaired by Usborne Township's Deputy- Reeve, Bill Morley. Don Simp- son, Reeve of Blanshard was also at the meeting. He told the committee that they should first investigate the number of children who would use a pod in Kirkton before committing themselves to building one. Committee members argued back that people would not be donating to the pool fund unless they had intentions of using the facility. The main concern, however, seemed to center around the fact that the committee was still $15,000 short of its original goal. Robinson commented that many potential donors still had not been contacted, including businesses. Among larger businesses in the area, the committee is counting on donations from dealers in St. Marys and Exeter whose main income comes from area farmers rather than from town residents. Another concern which received a good deal of attention was the cost of operating a pool; The committee had studied Installation of officers for the Hensall and District Kinsmen, Kinettes and K-40 was held at the Hensall Bean Pot September 15.

Basing their estimates on areas of their own size, the Kirkton pool committee felt that the pool might run a deficit as high as $3,000 to $4,000 annually. Although they said a deficit was a good possibility, there was also the chance that the Kirkton pool could actually run in the black, Community groups have expressed interest in picking up the tab for a yearly deficit, Robinson said, The committee has settled on a junior olympic size pool. Dimensions would be n ft, six inches long by 42 feet six inches wide by 12 feet, six inches deep at the deep end. That motion was also approved by the residents who turned out for Monday night's meeting. The committee decided that once tenders have been received, another public meeting should be held. Although the committee now has the authority to proceed to approve a tender and allow work by a contractor to begn if the tender is within range of the pledges, it is expected that the committee will seek approval from citizens at another public meeting before anything final is decided, Heil, treasurer, Sharon Dox- tator; secretary Karen Schur- man, K-40: president, Harold Knight; vice-president, Jack Drysdale; treasurer, John Heal; secretary, John Baker.

Sunday, the six girls, Wendy Brunner, Marta Brunner, Veronica Arnel, Jody Puerksen, Seth Smith and Monica Scheifele again presented their message on the need for ecology awareness to the congregation following a fellowship pot luck lunch at the church. The message was well received as the girls gave a polished performance of a production which was completely their own idea and effort. ay JOY SCHEIFELA All$A CRAIG The ingenuity of young children often surprises adults and this past weekend, parents and friends were treated to the special effort and talents of six young Ailsa Craig and area girls. Last August, ten year old Wendy Brunner gathered five of her friends and suggested that they might enjoy putting on an ecology play she had recently read. The girls quickly agreed that this would be an ideal way to spend some of the summer vacation time. The girls organized themselves entirely, assigning parts, rehearsing, arranging costumes, thus developing their own artistic and dramatic abilities. Parents and friends were then surprised with an invitation to attend a production of "The Litter Critters" being presented in the backyard of friend and neighbour, Mrs. Grant Hughes of Ailsa Craig. Those who were fortunate enough to catch this first night performance were quite im- Kleenex Towels 2 roll pkg. 9' On September 1, 1976, major postal rate changes came into effect. But, when you consider all the facts, we think you'll agree that the new rates are still a first-class bargain. For one thing, these rates have not been increased in over four years. For another, current postal rates in most Western countries exceed Canada's new postal rates. Anyone using the Canadian postal service will find many changes in rates. 0 Letters or postcards up to 1 oz., for delivery in Can, ada, change from 8C to 10 as of September 1, 1976, and to 14 as of March'1, 1977, 0 Greeting cards up to 2 oz., for delivery in Canada, change from 64 to 8( as of Septem- ber 1, 1976, and to 10C as of March 1, 1977. All greet- ing cards should be sealed. 0 Rates for special services such as Registered Mail, C,O,D. and Special Deliv- ery, Postal Insurance and Money Orders have also changed. Major adjustments have been made in parcel rates to create a more equitable rate structure by relating the rates more closely to the distance travelled and the weight of the parcel, 0 In some cases, parcel rates have been reduced, 0 First class parcels (over 1 lb. and up to 66 lbs.) receive our best service. 0 More than ever, "Parcel Post" is the low-cost way to reach any address in Canada, The new Canadian Postal Rates deserve your attention. When you post both letters and parcels, check with your Postmaster and be sure of the proper rates. Correct postage plus the Postal Code will give you better service. .4'4, K../ 4
