A highlight of the evening
came when the Marguerite Bur-

Miss Joan Remington. The tro-

has shown the most improve-
ment during the year, and who
has been of real help to the
club and in particular, to the
younger skaters during the year.
The winner is chosen by the
two club professionals, Mrs. B.
Leitch, Harold Brooks and Mrs.
H. Wild, the club's secretary -
treasurer.
Both the skaters and the pub-
lic owe a debt of gratitude to
the people looking after the
show. Harold "Shorty" Brooks
in particular had his hands full

weather conditions presented
problems in the training pro-
gram,

Council Meeting Was Quiet
The April meeting of town
council saw business confined
mostly to routine items. All
members were on hand for the
two and a half hour session.
Minutes and accounts were
given an OK by the members
and council endorsed a resolu-
tion from Saltfleet Township,
directed to the provincial
legislature calling for grant
payments on municipal police
costs. The resolution claimed
policing is an essential public
service, similar to education
and other services that are of
value to the people of the pro-
vince and not confined to the
community.
A lease agreement from the
solicitor for the Maitland Val-
ley Conservation Authority, re-
garding the lower pond, was
read and approved, subject to
approval by the town's solicitor.
Council learned that the
Township of East Wawanosh
would not consider passing a by-
law prohibiting shooting or the
discharge of firearms within
300 yards of the fence around
the sewage lagoon. This had
been requested by the Ontario
Water Resources Commission.
Council decided to have the
area encompassed by the fence
posted for no hunting or tres-
passing.
FINANCES
Four copies of the auditor's
statement were available to
the meeting and gone over in
a cursory manner by council.
Clerk Renwick presented coun-
cil with his estimates of the
town's budget for this year. He
said a special meeting would
have to be called to set the
mill rate as soon as the school
levies are received. It appear-
ed that due to a rise in the
county levy, a jump of two or
three mills can be expected.
COMMITTEES
Committee reports were very
brief. Councillor Cruickshank
said the police committee had
nothing to report except that
the new crossing guard system
was working well.
Councillor Harold Wild said
that the public works depart-
ment is only waiting for the
snow to go before starting the
annual spring cleanup.
A brief discussion took place
about the advisability of ob-
taining the services of a dog-
catcher. A Sea forth man has
offered his services and council
will obtain more information.
Deputy -reeve Alexander re-
ported that his fire committee
will meet with the rural fire
area representatives for an an-
nual meeting next Monday eve-
ning. Ile said that the new tank
truck is now in service and
ready to go on its first run.
Councillor Williams said
that membership in the Mid -
Western Development Associa-
tion should be renewed again,
as the town's development
board has made this recommen-
dation. Councillor Callan said
he feels it is a waste of money,
but will go along this year.
Council agreed to join the as-
sociation again, at a fee of
$170.'00.
Councillor Bateson stated
that the new recreation direct-
or is due to arrive shortly. This
prompted a discussion on the
feasibility of joining the Arena
Commission and the Recreation
Committee into one group. The
subject was dropped for the
moment, pending more study.
AUTHORITY REPORT
Councillor Williams said
that the Retarded Children's
Authority, now operating the
Golden Circle School, is pre-
paring a budget and it appears
that the town will be asked to
contribute $500,00. Eleven
municipalities are involved,
and the cost is being broken
down on a population basis. He
said government grants will
cover 80 per cent of the cost
of operation.
Councillor Callan claimed
that as Wingham does not have
any children in the school, the
Letters to the Editor
Mr. Barry Wenger,
Wingham Advance•Times,
Wingham, Ont.
Dear Barry:
1 thought this too good to
keep and pass it on for what it
is worth,
It would seem that to some
of our youngsters the town coun-
cil might be charged with dis-
crimination.
Recently at our dinner table
the conversation turned to some
recent town council matters.
The big sister in our family was
trying to explain to her younger
brother that he wouldn't be able
to buy fireworks this year. This
little guy looked to his father
for an explanation and was told
that because of the frequency
of accidents that involved fire-
works, the council felt it wise
to prohibit their sale here in
Wingham. After some thought
this boy turned to me, his fa -
town is being asked to contrib-
ute too high a share, Council-
lor Williams explained that
while no children in town are
now attending the school, it is
possible that a number could
be attending over the next few
years. He continued by saying
that it is an advantage to have
the school in Wingham, and
the town will be expected to
pay its share on a basis of pop-
ulation.
Clerk Renwick read a letter
from the centennial committee
for the province requesting
more information about the
town's project which was ap-
proved last month --the picnic
pavilion. Committee member
Robert Wenger was asked to
make arrangements with the
planners, Canadian Mitchell
Associates for a meeting with
the Parks Board and other town
officials.

that the council permitted

of praise to you, sir, in the ex -A
cellent manner in which the
editorials have been prepared
and the issues which have been
undertaken, It is as well a 'bit
of alright' to hear some word
of commendation to the part of

particularly hard time of it
lately from some other news-

Dear Mr. Wenger:
How pleased I was to see
that Wingham has again ap-
pointed a recreation director, t
Mr. Ivan Kessell! I hope that
the community will give him
their full support.
In my work I have been
greatly helped by what I gain-
ed from the experience of
working under and with Wing -
ham's first two recreation di-
rectors, Mr. Sam Burton and
Mr. Ernie Miller.
Yours sincerely,
John Crawford.
