Tongue depressor
Just checking to see if it’s real, is what this fuzzy bear said to the

games toentertain the youngsters, in addition to pizzas and

Festival approves library plan in principle
Blyth village councillors learned
at their Oct. 23 meeting that the
board of Blyth Centre for the Arts
has approved in principle an agree
ment w hich will see Blyth get a new
library in the north wing of
Memorial Hall.
Clerk-treasurer Helen Grubb
said she had been told that the
Centre's board had approved the
agreement with a few minor reser
vations although neither the agree
ment or the reservations had been
put in writing as yet. One worry
involved incompatible events that
might be held by the Centre during
library hours or vice versa The
other was a feeling that if the space
on the main floor of the wing
ceased to be used as a library, it
would reven to the Festival’s use.
After months of negotiations
representatives of the Festival had
agreed to take a proposal from the
village reached at a meeting Oct. 9
to the full board of the Centre tor
the Arts. The agreement would see
the Festival give up the whole 900
square foot first floor for library
use. although it had been seeking
to retain from 100 to 300 square if it isn’t being used in future tor a
Man discharged after indecent exposure plea
A Wingham man received an
absolute discharge on a charge of
indecent exposure in Provincial
court in Wingham Wednesday
when Judge R.G.E. Hunter took
into account his age and lack of
criminal record.
Alvin R. Higgins of Wingham
was charged after an incident at
feet for use as stage management
office. In return the village would
return to the Centre its annual
rental of Memorial Hall theatre.
Councillor Dave Lee said he
could see no problem with the
space reverting back to the Centre
Maitside Orchard in Brussels. The
court was told Mr. Higgins and a
co-worker were riding a wagon in
from the orchard from apple pick
ing when he put his hand on her
knee and slid it up to her thigh.
She made him stop but later in
the day the two were sorting apples
at a table and she looked over to
library. Reeve Albert Wasson said
that in theory he could agree but
that since, in the past, one of the
rooms on the floor had been
designated for public use, he’d like
to see an equivalent space set aside
for public use for things such as the
extended services office of the
Ontario Provincial Police.
see he had his fly open and was
exposing himself. Mr. Higgins
pleaded guilty to the charge and
Judge Hunter said that because of
his age (69). his long marriage and
lack of a record, he would grant
him an absolute discharge. “But,”
he told Mr Higgins, “stay out of
apple orchards.’'
Owner closes
store - GST
too much
By the end of the year Evans
Hardware in Ethel will no longer be
in business. Owner Doug Evans,
who purchased the store over 20
years ago from Jack Conley sold it
to Fred Kemples of New Hamburg
this past September. While Mr.
Evans is not certain what Mr.
Kemples plans to do with the
building he is sure it will no longer,
for the first time in its history, be a
hardware store.
Mr. Evans said there were
several reasons why he decided at
this time to sell out with the
primary reason being the imple
mentation of the GST. “It’s quite
simply going to be a nuisance and
I’m not going to put up with the
hassle.’’, he said.
While Mr. Evans isn't definite
on his future plans he’s not looking
at taking life easy. “I have a lot of
different plans, but I won’t be a
man of leisure. I’m definitely going
to keep working.”
