great time at their Halloween party
seeing each other's costumes. They

books and learned their numbers

seeds.

house into a haunted house for
Halloween. They made their own
scary sound effects tape to go along

the hardwood timber on the proper-
ty plus a property value of
$125,000 to $160,000.
Councillors also agreed to have
the Ministry of Natural Resources
go ahead with cleaning up damage
from the violent July 14 windstorm
which toppled an estimated 400
trees in die bush. Some of the trees
were leaning over the trails
throughout the Morris Tract and
council had closed the area to the

adopted by council, but a meeting

and a visit to Dr. Clark in Blyth.
The classes are doing a Unit on

Nature Conservancy of Canada
were scheduled to attend the meet-
ing of the Agriculture and Public
Works Committee Tuesday, Nov. 7

If the sale can be arranged it
would bring to a completion a con-
troversy which erupted after coun-
cil discussed logging mature trees
from the woodlot to help pay some
of the MNR's costs in maintaining
the county forest system. Natural-
ists, hikers and others banded
together to urge the councillors not
to allow any logging.
The July 14 storm confused the
issue when those who had wanted
no logging, asked the county to
hurry to salvage downed trees and
reopen the area to the public. Coun-
cillors had insisted in putting off
the clean-up until the appraisal was
completed.
