To formalize the establish- ment of the committee, by- law 4-1983 was brought before council, and passed without the approval of councillor Bob Fisher. Fisher, who also sits on the Chamber executive, disputed the right of council to name a representative from the Chamber of Commerce, and lamented the lack of prior dialogue between the two g In reply to Fisher's asser- tion that council could not dic- tate to the C of C, Van Patter said -neither could the Chamber dictate to council. Van Patter informed coun- cil that the Industrial and Retail Development commit- tee is making plans for a Zurich -Hay flea market to be held in the arena every Satur- day from mid-May until the end of September. The Reeve envisions 30 stalls around the perimeter of the ice surface selling meat, produce, crafts, collectables, antiques, 'etc. with four or five booths set aside for the use of non-profit organizations like churches and service clubs. Space could be rented in the centre for displays such as new or antique cars.

Local merchants could advertise specialsoverthePA system at no charge and draw visitors to the downtown business section. The family atmosphere provided by the park and playground setting is one of the points emphasized in handbills ready for distribu- tion at other flea market sites. Van Patter reported ex- cellent response from area merchants, and said already one-third of the stalls have been spoken for. He said no vendor would be allowed in who would compete directly with local retailers. Westlake and Fisher both pointed out the arena was in- tended for recreation, and asked how rollerskating and wedding receptions would be affected. They also felt there was potential for conflict if the C of C carried on with its farmers' market this year. Councillor Mike O'Connor foresaw difficulties with psi'I 'admission to baseball tour- naments, but suggested the overall concept of the flea market was excellent, and the committee should be given the chance to meet with con- cerned organizations and find a mutually agreeable solution to these legitimate concerns. Council next turned to the waste disposal site used joint- ly by Hay Township and the village of Zurich. `Zurich will pay its share of the B.M. Ross feasibility study on the future of the site, provided no fur- ther financial obligations. are incurred without prior con- sultation and agreement het - ween the township and the village. They refused Hay's request to share in the maintenance costs of the road leading into the dump, as Zurich residents pay $30 per household for garbage pickup now, and there is little in- dividual traffic into the dump counc from the village, rand far fewer users from Zurich than from Hay. Council will meet with Hay township council soon to work out a written agreement con- cerning use of the waste disposal site. The township holds the lease, and Zurich pays them to run the dump at specified times. Reporting for the Zurich recreation, parks and com- munity centre board, Mike O'Connor said Melanie McLaughlin of the ministry of tourism and recreation had attended the last meeting and informed the committee that no more maintenance grants were available. The fidanhe committee will have 1 ex- amine proposed pro efts carefully to see which ones eon be postponed. A letter will be sent to the Lions -Club, thanking there for the new outdoor sign.atthe arena.

Title of his speech is "How to Survive a Nuclear War in Varna," Contrary to the serious -sounding title, we hear that it is frequently quite humorous. We hope to have the opportunity to hear John's speech.
