The contractor's bid on the original plan was $53, 672, County health unit requirements added another $600,00 for a total of $54,272.00. The committee had its con- sultant delete a number of items from the plans, bringing the total construction cost down to $45, 135. This amount with engineering fees and costs pro- duced a final figure of nearly $49, 000. The committee was then faced with the problem of find- ing the money needed to meet the difference between cash, pledges and grants, and the ten- der. On Monday evening the decision was reached that the project should not be shelved for the lack of $3,000, which the committee felt can be rais- ed to complete the project. As it sits at the moment there is approximately 825,000 cash in the bank and pledges amounting to $7, 000, bringing the subscription fund up to $32,- 000, Grants will be $14, 000 raising available monies to $46- 000. The committee will borrow from the bank if necessary to meet progress payments as the work is done, but may he able to acquire the necessary grants in time to obviate this possibil- ity. The contractor informed the executive on Monday evening that he intended to start work on the project the next morn- ing. In order to acquire the Cen- tennial grants it is essential that the work be completed this year. Jack Pym accepts NDP nomination John W.

Jack Pym is a son of Mr. and Mrs, Harold Victor Pym, who resided here until a few months ago. He has been employed by the Public Utilities Commis- sion in Kincardine for the past 13 years, and before his remov- al to the lake town was on the staff of the PUG in Wingliam.

He was unopposed, The speake er at the meeting was Lome Creighton of bets Sound, the NDP nominee for Grey-Bruce. One of the most popular events in the school year 'with most students in the Belgrave, myth, Brussels area is the an- nual school fair, and as usual it met with a great deal of en- thusiasm when staged last Wed- nesday. A parade of all the pupils in the schools started the big event as they marched to the fair- Planning consultant Norman Pearson of Burlington met with the local Planning Board on elonclay evening and presented a rough draft of his suggestions for Wingham's official plan. He was engaged by the board ear- lier in the year to develop a Public school opening held last evening Official opening ceremonies were held at the public school last evening, to mark the com- pletion of the re-building pro- gram which has been underway for the past year. Guest speaker for the occas- ion was Harry A. Posliff, son of a former principal of the school and himself principal of the Strathroy District Collegiate In- stitute. Since the event took place after press time last evening, we are unable to bring you de- tails in this issue, but full cov- erage in story and pictures will be included in next week's pa- per. Business Assoc. holds meeting The Wingham Business As- sociation held a meeting at the town hall on Thursday evening and members present were in agreement that the possibility of staging a Santa Claus parade be investigated. In other business, the club voted to send a letter to Roy Bennett for the excellent decor- ations on the main street this year. Permission from the Canad- ian Imperial Bank of Commerce, to erect a decorative Christmas tree was obtained. CROSS DEDICATED AT ST. PAUL'S At the morning service in St. Paul's Anglican Church on Sun- day the rector, Rev. H. W. Hamilton, dedicated a new processional cross. The cross was made by two members of the congregation, W. E. Hodgkinson and S. W. Vanstone. Charlie Lee, who has under- antaken the organizational work for an intermediate hockey team to represent Wingham dur- ing the corning season, reports that to date 11 players have signified their willingness to don the colors. They are Jim Bain, George Skiers, Wayne brown, Bob Jones, Jim English, Barry Fry, Ken Taylor. Doti Rintout, Jon Elateson, Verne Madman and Elwood Those who have volunteered for executive jobs are Ivan grounds to the tune of a march, on the pipes of the Belgrave Pipe Band. Leading the parade were various officials who later took part in the official opening of the fair. Although exhibits were down this year, none were discourag- ed, as this problem is common with all fairs due to the many centennial activities and pro-. plan that can be adopted by the council, and approved by the provincial department. Mr. Pearson showed the group two maps of the town. The first indicated what he felt should be main traffic arteries, with the major item being the extension of Carling Terrace to the north, to connect with Charles Street north of the CNR tracks. The other map indicted his suggestions regarding land use patterns'in the municipality. The plan was dissected by the board which had quite a num- ber of suggested changes. In essense the plan allows for a central commercial area along Josephine Street, and industrial zone in the northwest corner with the remainder of the com- munity as residential, with the exception of a few service areas and a green belt along the river. The consultant told the board that he would take back the lo- cal recommendations and fur- ther develop the plan. At the next meeting he will present a revised map and a text to go along with it. It is then likely that a public meeting will be called if the Planning Board ap- proves the plan, to give the citizens an opportunity to look over the recommendations. The official plan will map out the long range develop- ment of the community and make it possible to have a zon- ing by-law which will have de- tailed regulations. The plan- ner has recommended that the by-law should be written in such a way that it controls cer- tain undesirable situations, but is as open and unrestrictive as possible. Leaders needed for Cub packs With school opening and the coming of fall, scouting and cubbing activities again be- come popular with the young men in Wingham. This year, as has happened in the past, there is a need for assistance in the leadership of the Cubs. The Scouts, who last year were lacking in lea- dership, now have K. Foxton, Don Rintoul, Brian Cameron and Don Reid as leaders. The Venturers, the older Scouts, are self governed but have as their advisor, Tom Russell. At least two or three inter- ested leaders are needed im- mediately for the Cubs. This year Apple Day will be held on October 14 and the Paper Drive will be October 21.

There is some prospect of a donor for uniforms, but no cash donations have been received as yet, and money will be needed to get the team away to a proper start. Give Charlie Lee a call if you can help out in any of the above categories. sects which have taken much of the time usually devoted to pre- paring exhibits for local fairs.
