Belgrave W! fundraising for new roof
TheBelgrave Women’s Insti
tute is seeking funding for the
construction of a new roof at then-
hall in the village, and for the
addition of bookshelves to accom
modate the Belgrave Branch of the
HuronCounty Library when it is
moved from the Belgrave arena
later this year. The total cost is
estimated at close to $7,000.
Institute secretary-treasurer
Dorothy Coultes of RR 5, Brussels
said that it is expected the major
portionofthefunding will come
from provincial grants, several of
which are now being investigated
by the Township of Morris, but that
the Institute will also sell raffle
tickets on a hand-made quilt
donated by the Belgrave Quilters,
a group of local women who meet
regularly to engage in their
favourite activity.
“It’sabeautifulquilt,” Mrs.
Coultes said. “Tickets will go on
sale soon, and the winner will be
drawn at the September meeting of
the Women’s Institute.
She added that the Institute is
reluctant to go to the community
for any part of the funding, since
Belgrave area people donated so
generously to the new roof at the
arena last year, but said that any
donations would be very welcome.
Word was received on Monday
that the Huron County Library
Board had approved the moving of
the library, which had previously
been approved by the councils of
both Morris and East Wawanosh
Townships. It is felt that the move
to the 100-year-old Institute Hall
will improve access to the library
for some of its users, as the steps
necessary to reach its present
location will be eliminated.
The Maitland Valley Conserva
tion Authority’s spring tree plant
ing program has been sucessfully
completed. About 80.000 trees
were planted in April, nearly twice
the number planted in 1986.
Under the Reforestation Assis
tance Program trees were planted
on 36 privately owned sites as well
as MVCA properties. The trees
planted will help control soil
erosion, conserve water and im
provewildlife habitat. Farm wind
breaks plantings made up about 30
per cent of the trees planted this
spring.
The MVCA’s reforestation pro
gram is growing in popularity.
Dave Grummett, Director of Oper
ations for the Authority, advises
landowners waiting to plant trees
to plan well in advance.
“The 1988 tree planting pro
gram is already booked with about
100,000 trees to be planted’’ said
Grummett. “Applications are now
being accepted for the spring 1989
program.”
The MVCA Reforestation Assis
tance Program is available to
landowners with between one and
10 acres of land needing planting.
Authority staff visit each appli
cant’s site to assess which species
of tree is most suitable and the
number of trees needed. The major
species planted are white pine,
white spruce, white cedar and
Norway spruce.
To apply for Reforestation Assis
tance, or to receive further infor
mation contact the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority at 335-
3557.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.
GIVE.
The uniform is like a beacon on
the street. It signals help. Compassion
Caring.
But not many people know how
much it takes to be a soldier in the
Salvation Army. The inhuman hours.
The incredible patience. The
brutal situations.
Taking responsibility for
those whom society is unable
to take responsibility for.
Providing help, and then hope, for
the people who need it most.
But they know;
Anyone whose life the Salvation
Army has touched knows.
And we ask for them, that
you give.
As much as you can.
For the love of Godr
