Fry & Blackhall Limited, Wingham's long-established furniture manufacturing com- pany, has announced the pur- chase of the Honderich Furni- ture Company Limited in Mil- verton. The Honderich fitm manu- factures a line of cedar chests arid medium-priced dining room furniture and tables in a large plant which employs over 100 people. The operations of the Mil- verton and Wingham plants will be completely separate. The Milverton plant will be desig. mated as the case goods plant and Wingham the upholstery plant. The Honderich company has achieved a fine reputation in furniture markets, having been in operation since 1902. The acquisition of the Milverton cornpany, along with Towne and COkintty Furniture of Letri Whith was purchased by Fry Blackhall a short time ago, will give the firm the variety of OLD TIMERS HAD A big day at the Bel- grave arena the first Sunday in August when congregations from the three village churches met for a box lunch.

He is in his 83rd year.—A-T Photo, Council asks suggestions for location of benches (Continued from Page One) ed. The reeve recommended to council that a new type of sealer coat be applied to pave- ment on Carling Terrace. The new product may obviate the need for a third finish coat on the street at a considerable cost saving. Council concurred. Councillor Bateson said that renovation of the town office has been completed and all councillors agreed it was a big improvement. He said he has been investigating park benches for the back streets as request- ed by several older citizens and now wondered where they should be installed. He said, "If the people who wanted the benches will call me as to con- venient spots where they can be set up, I would appreciate it." Mr. Bateson's office phone number is 357-2990. Deputy Reeve Alexander read a brief report regarding the fire brigade which stated that the equipment is in good order but a few minor items should be purchased. Councillor Wild brought sev- eral welfare cases to council's attention. Comment was made that in two welfare cases the recipients were driving cars, and this did not seem proper. Councillor William Walden, reporting on recreation, said pool registration stood at 172 with 70 registered for play- ground activities. He also said that roller skating at the arena was going well. He told council that a Brant- ford man has indicated interest in taking the position of recrea- tion director. Several letters were read by the clerk, one from the Ontario Water Resources Commission which stated the sewage lagoon was working properly. A letter from the Ontario Department of Transport answer• ed a request by council for a traffic survey to determine the need for traffic signals. The letter said the survey could not be carried out until later in the year. Mayor Miller said it is being put off until the diversion is completed. He was of the opinion that lights are needed on the main street, at the in- tersection of Josephine and John Streets. Council approved a resolu- tion sponsored by the Township of Michipicoten which asks the provincial government to take action in regard to European doctors coming to Canada. The resolution requests the govern- ment to allow these doctors to practise in Ontario without hav- ing to be sponsored by an On- tario doctor or for the need to meet special tests. Council was informed that the deed for the Department of Highways on Albert Street had been received. The old build- ings have been turned over to the town for $2,500, with the stipulation that the property must be used for municipal af- fairs, or if sold the town would have to pay another $2, 500 as they have been appraised at $5,000. The clerk noted that a copy of a submission being made by the CNR to the Board of Trans- port Commissioners was receiv- ed. The brief requests permis- sion for the railway to abandon passenger service on several lines in Western Ontario, in- cluding the one which serves Wingham. Council discussed tax ar- rears and decided that as most ratepayers who are in arrears for three years have made arrange- ments, no tax sale will be made this year. A by-law was adopted set- ting out building regulations for the new Sunset Crescent sub- division being established on the former sawmill property by William Walden. The regula- tions confine the subdivision to single family units with a mini- mum of 900 square feet. Mayor Miller welcomed Clerk Renwick back following several weeks of illness. company $3000 damages in car accident A five-year-old Wingham area boy, Daniel McKay of R.R. 1 Wingham received a lacerated upper lip and lost three teeth as the result of a three car collision at the inter- section of Victoria and Jose- phine Streets on Friday evening.
