Good turnout for
Rebekah Lodge
Accordion pleats were the result of a noisy crash in Blyth Friday evening. The 1978 Plymouth, above, was
parked unattended on Dinsley St., when a CMC van, owned and operated by Fred Bradley Walbeck, 33, of
RR3, Walton, veered off the street, crashing into it. The Plymouth, in turn, was shoved into a ‘77 Pontiac
owned by David Button, of Blyth, causing $1,000 worth of damage. The Plymouth, owned by Elizabeth
Riley of Goderich, suffered $3,000 in damage; the Walbeck van will cost another $3,000 to repair.
Wingham Ontario Provincial Police said that Mr. Walbeck has been charged with careless driving. He was
taken to Wingham Hospital with minor injuries.
Blyth Council
Lots of places to spend money
With the Village of Blyth’s
Ontario Neighbourhood Improve
ment Program coming to an end
next March 31, Blyth councillors
spent part of their September
meeting last Tuesday discussing
how best to make use of the
remaining money available.
Ann Nesbit, acting clerk-treas
urer, said she had a meeting with
Art Clark of Maitland Engineering
Service Ltd. the village’s engineer,
and a provincial representative at
which she was reminded that any
money not used by the end of that
time would be taken back by the
province. She said there was
$3,122 still to be spent in the hard
services portion of the program
(streets, watermains, etc.) and
$6,496 left in the soft services
(social and recreation facilities).
In their discussion, councillors
indicated there was no shortage of
places to spend the remaining
money. In the social and recreation
facilities area there are projects
such as painting the beams in the
arena, siliconing the brickwork on
the new addition to Memorial Hall
and repairing the roof at Memorial
Hall all to be done in the next while,
any of which will take up a good
portion of the money.
As Reeve Albert Wasson said
There was a good turnout of
members for the first meeting in
September of Morning Star Rebe
kah Lodge.
Noble Grand Barbara Watts
conducted the meeting. During the
business period members were
advised October 14 to be the date of
installation of new officers. Due to
the lodge having to vacate the hall
before that date, tentative plans to
use the Seaforth Lodge Hall were
made for this occasion. A letter was
received from the Assembly Presi
dent asking the lodge to drape its
charter in memory of two deceased
Grand Lodge Officers and to
support charities (high on her list)
was the Arthritis Society.
The next meeting on Sept. 23 is
to be held in the upstairs meeting
room of the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre at 8 p.m.
It was also decided to have the
Variety Fair in the Library on Oct.
18. Card parties are to start in
October at the Library on Oct. 6 and
there was no urgency in finding now “there’s nothing we can do
places to spend the money and for except review it. ’ ’
More debate needed
The issue of whose driveways to
help pave resurfaced at Blyth
village council at the September
meeting, Sept. 9.
The council had set a policy of
paving to the edge of driveways
already paved on streets that were
being paved with the village to pay
the first 10 feet from the edge of the
paved portion of the road then split
the remaining cost to the property
line on a 50/50 basis. At least
council thought that’s what it
agreed to. But when council went
back and reread its earlier motion,
even the mover and seconder
couldn’t agree on the intention of
the motion.
Council agreed that the motion
should be made more complete and
made into a by-law. The issue
appears certain to be having more
debate at future meetings.
20 at 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome.
An exhibit depicting 125 years of
the Fair is to be entered and a
donation to the Fair Board was
made for a prize for school work.
Mary Lowe and Vera Hastings
gave very interesting reports of the
Rebekah Assembly of Ontario
which they attended in June in
Royal York Hotel, Toronto. They
were delegates from Brussels
Lodge.
A social time followed the
closing of Lodge when a draw was
made for travelling prize. Marie
McTaggartwasthewinner. Anoth
er draw was held for an afghan
made and donated by Delores
Wheeler. Tickets had been sold on
this before Lodge closed in June.
Janet McCutcheon was the lucky
winner.
