Merrall was responding to a question from Bob Hallam, reeve of West Wawanosh about the deferral of the planned purchase of several replacement vehicles, including the county engineer's car. The county still will purchase one new tandem dump truck and sever- al pick-up trucks. County council had set a zero per cent tax increase target for the roads department, even though there are expected cut- backs in provincial government support. Merrall told council that since 1991, $1.4 million has been cut from the roads budget leaving it about the same level as it was eight years ago when he took over the engineer's job. The roads depart- ment had been at zero increase bud- geting long before other departments were given that man- date, he said. "We've taken it on the chin to be fiscally responsible." In an effort to still keep up the level of new road-building and paving, money had been taken from areas such as equipment purchase. Instead of resurfacing roads every eight years, such work is now being done every 15 years, he said. "We're trying to take everything and make it stretch as long as pos- sible," Merrall said. In addition there are several retirements of valued staff this coming year. It leaves the depart- ment in a quandary as to whether to replace these people or not. But a day of reckoning is com- ing, he warned. "We are going to be in a crisis mode next year based on what I heard this week (about government funding)," Merrall said. Someday the old equipment is going to have to be replaced and Merrall worried that the money might not be available at that time.

Caldwells, Clarks usher The service at Blyth United Church Nov. 5, the Sunday before Remembrance Day was the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost. The theme of the service was Remembrance Day with the Blyth Legion in attendance. Ushering the morning wor- shippers were Stephen and Joan Caldwell and Patricia and Kendra Brigham. Phyllis Boak was organist and Shirley Vincent was pianist. Donna Hamm looked after the nursery. Preceding the service, the choir and minister entered the church after which the colours of the Blyth Legion were placed at the front. The choir, under the direction of Phyllis Boak, led everyone in singing 0 Canada with Shirley Vincent on piano. Rev. Ian Diamond opened with greetings and announcements. He welcomed the members of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Ladies Auxiliary and the Blyth Scouts and Guides. He gave praise for the service they do in the community in various ways. Mr. Diamond's message to the children was about Jesus coming into their lives whether they are ready or not. He compared it to the game that young children play called "hide and seek". The Choral Kids followed with an anthem His Banner Over Me Is Love. John Battye from the Blyth legion read the Gospel lesson. It was from Luke, Chapter 19, 1-10. Rev. Diamond based his sermon from the Gospel lesson entitled, "Coming, Ready or Not!" He said, "When Jesus comes into people's life experiences, He comes whether we are ready or not! Even though we are tempted to hold him at arm's length, to just catch a glimpse, to be assured that things are alright, Jesus has the grace to take the initiative. He calls us down and invites himself into our lives." Rev. Diamond said, "Today we are remembering with gratitude the ultimate sacrifice which many thousands of people made in the cause of freedom, justice and truth." Many people were young, he said, responding to a call to serve their country in a noble cause. For those who gave their lives, this week provides an opportunity to be thankful. "We that remain are the inheritors of a wonderful legacy and it is no coincidence that the Royal Canadian Legion lives out the same spirit in practical community service in our time." The hymn Onward Christian Soldiers followed the sermon. Harvey Snell, on behalf of the Board of Stewards, gave a report on the successful fowl supper last Friday evening, thanking everyone who donated food, the organizers and helpers at the dinner. The service concluded with the colours of the Blyth Legion removed from the church with the members of the Legion, Ladies Auxiliary and Scouts and Guides marching out.
