Staff photo Secondary plan one step farther Hensall’s secondary plan outlining landuse for the village took one more step on the long road to becoming official when council gave the bylaw first reading. Before giving the bylaw first reading, council voted not to change any of the zoning designations in the draft plan. Three changes had been suggested at the public meeting held earlier. County planner Roman Dzus told council changes could be made in the plan by council later, but it takes 60 days. Once the plan is given second and third reading, it will be forwarded to the county planning office. After their examination it will be printed and sent to the Ontario Government for approval. It will likely take a year before it will be sent back, Dzus said. Reeve Harold Knight said the bylaw will be on the agenda of the next council meeting for final approval. Council decided not to give the bylaw three readings in order do give members of council more time to study the plan. First reading of the bylaw means any new development will be subject to the plan, Dzus said. Former resident passes away Quietly, in her sleep, Alma Hess, a long time resident of Hensall, passed away in North York Hospital, on August 12, in her 77th year. During her lifetime she was an active member of the Women’s Institute and the United Church in Hensall, belonging’to the W.M.S. and later the U.C.W. of that church. She was also a valued member and soloist in the choir and Sunday School teacher. A practical nurse, she assisted at deliveries of many living Hensall residents and did private nursing in” the homes, later working at the Henderson Egg Grading Station and the Queensway Nursing Home. She was a popular hostess at the Hess Cottage on the Auxable river and helped her husband with his letter press type of printing press for many years. During the past few years she has been living happily at the Thompson House a Senior Citizen home in Don Mills near her daughter, Ruth, where she was active in the rhythm band and with singing. Her husband George, well known jeweller, predeceased her in 1968. She leaves to mourn her a daughter, Ruth, Mrs. Laurie McCloy, Don Mills, four grandchildren and one great grandson.

Blyth plays continuing Blyth Summer Festival’s ; two successful plays The ' Huron Tiger, and His Own Boss are now joined by two new plays, Ted Johns' The School Show, and Gwen­ doline by James Nichol. The four plays will run in repertory style, meaning that a different play is of­ fered' almost every night, along with Thursday matinees. The Huron Tiger, Peter Colley’s colourful comedy of the irrepressible Scot, Dr. William “Tiger” Dunlop, has proved to be a favourite with ’ critics and audiences alike.': Peter White, in the Toronto: Globe and Mail, writes: “the world of Tiger and his' coterie as Colley presents it, is a sea of eccentricity.” And Trish Wilson, in the Kit­ chener - Waterloo Record, remarkd that"...Terence Durrant plays Tiger as a rakish, but irresistable' opportunist, given to flamboyance and a taste of liquor...” The Huron Tiger has only Boards says no to request for Hensall liquor store measurements.Hens,all residents will still have to drive to get their drinks, Hensall council learned Monday night. R.J. Harris of the Liquor Control Board wrote council that the village does not qualify for a liquor outlet. Residents would have to continue to depend on outlets in Exeter and Zurich for their supply. Earlier in the year Hensall council inquired whether an outlet could be opened in the village. Harris said part of the reason for the negative reply was the current restraint program. Towns larger than Hensall with outlets farther away have applied for liquor stores to be opened in their municipality. These areas will be given priority over the village, Harris wrote. In other business, council approved a $50 grant to the Blyth Centre for the Arts. Hensall has already donated funds to the Huron Country Playhouse. A bill from the village to Robert Baker for cutting grass’ was retracted after Baker appeared before council. He told council he was away at the time and was never notified that there had been any complaint. Reeve Harold Knight said the matter had not been handled diplomatically and in the future residents should be notified of a^complaint so they could cut the grass themselves if they wanted to. F.D. Setterington of Union Gas discussed with council the proposed location of a new gas main on Richmond Street South and Mill Street. Council said the company should take the old line out, but Setterington said this would be expensive as the line ran under the sidewalk. Town foreman Lome Archer said the line wasn’t under the sidewalk. Setterington said the company would send a man up to definitely locate the line, and would be prepared to remove it if it wasn’t under the sidewalk. The engineering report for the proposed Reid sub­ division was received by council and turned over to the County engineer for study and comment. The report said there would be no extra service cost to the Permits up in Stanley At the August meeting of Stanley council, tile drainage loans totalling $31,- 000 were accepted while a bylaw authorizing the pay­ ing out of $11,600 for drainage loans was ap­ proved. Clerk Mel Graham said 74 building permits have been issued this year with a value $1,124,000. The township granted $100 to the Huron Country Playhouse. municipality from the subdivision. A letter from the county asking if Hensall wanted their 1926 fire truck relocated was received. Council decided to request the truck be brought back to the village for restoration and storage in the new fire hall. Council approved a bylaw allowing the government to charge the village in metric units instead of imperial A request by Douglas Kyle for the village to pay the costs of water damage in his basement was turned down. Kyle said in his letter the damage was caused when the village damaged a storm sewer. Wilma Hoffman was ap­ pointed animal control of­ ficer for Hensall. , Five Ontario Home Renewal Program grants were approved by council.
