Last year, Susan Thomp­ son of Exeter assisted in the clerk’s office for 18 weeks during the summer and council members said, "she was worth twice her salary.” The village will receive a provincial grant which reim­ burses council for 80 per cent of the student’s weekly. Council members also dis­ cussed the street light situa­ tion in the town. There are presently ,42 fluorescent street lights remaining in the village, many of these on Hwy. 4.

The old fluores­ cent lights which are remov­ ed can then be used for parts to service the remaining fluorescent lights until the changover is complete. iiiniiiiiiiiiiii The Light Touch = B,z = JACK =LA VENDER 5 Our friend says his salary is = automatically adjusted’to = inflation.

Mrs. Horton although -'not enjoying the best of health looked radiant in a green floral silk gown, with a pink carnation cor­ sage. Mr. Horton also wore a pink carnation boutonniere. Annie as all her friends know her came to Canada as a bride 59 years ago. She met Harry during the first World War, while he was serving in the Canadian Armed Forces overseas. They were married in St. Judes Church London England, February 7, 1920, and spent their honeymoon crossing the Atlantic to their new home in Canada. Annie was raised a city girl, so found living in the country quite an experience, but with a stout heart and great determination overcame the many difficulties that came her way. She even made friends with the cows which at first scared her. Harry is well-known for his love of singing and was a member of the Hensall United Church choir for fifty- three years retiring last year. In the old days when house parties and dances were popular Harry was often called to "Call Off” for square dancing. Both Annie and Harry have made many friends over the past fifty- nine years. This was evident by the number of friends and neighbours who honoured them with their vistis at their "Open House”. They were the recipients of many beautiful floral arrangements, plants and cards. The table holding the anniversary cake was decorated with a lovely floral arrangement of pink sweetheart roses and matching pink tapers in silver candle holders. Assisting at the an­ niversary were Mrs. Eileen Rannie, Mrs. Sim Roobol and Mrs. Irene Davis.

Clerk Betty Oke reported to council that there will be a surplus of approximately $30,000 in the 1978 budget for the village. Mrs. Oke said items were budgeted for which didn’t come up in 1978, so will likely have to be included under the 1979 budget. Some of the expected ex­ penditures which resulted in the surplus included a $3600 interest savings, subsidies from the provincial govern­ ment were under-budgeted, and the costs of a new drain will be included in this year’s budget. Reeve Harold Knight said, "There are places it (the $30,000) definitely has to go, we just didn’t spend it last year.” Council approved a grant of $100 to the Huron Country Playhouse, $10 to the Huron County Historical Society and $25 to the St. John Am­ bulance group.
