A day McLaren resigns Hensall position The resignation of works. superintendent Bill McLaren was accepted by Hensall council, Monday, and members met after the regular session to discuss applicants for the vacancy. McLaren will ter- minate his employment this Friday. In addition to replacing McLaren, drains and streets committee chairman Cecil Pepper suggested that council consider hiring a second person on a part-time or standby basis to assist the works superintendent. In supporting the suggestion, Councillor Minnie Noakes agreed it was unfair to any person to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Members suggested there may be someone among the applicants who could be considered for part-time duties. Councillor • John Skea said he was concerned over maintenance of the sewage plant unitl a replacement is hired, but Reeve Paul Neilands and Clerk Betty Oke reported that the ministry of the environment would assist if any problems arise. Snow removal was also debated at Monday's session and Pepper questioned whether the village should consider a wing for the snowplow. He presented a quotation from a firm which had been received last year in which the price of a wing was listed at $5,130. Neilands said the matter had been discussed before and he was of the opinion there was no need for the wing as the county could be called in once or twice a year to push the snow back far- ther. McLaren, however, said the present truck was useless without a wing when it came to pushing heavy snow. He explained it was also impossible to round off corners. The works superintendent also noted that using the present plow on the shoulders of the streets to push the snow back was not a safe thing either as the vehicle often got caught in rocks or catchbasins. It was decided to bring the matter up for discussion again at budget time as Neilands noted' it would probably be impossible to get a wing in time for use this winter any way. "And we may not get a winter like this next year," Mrs. Noakes added. wasted is such a sad thing. We cannot call it back. We must in time give account for it, to the One who controls the floods of life and time. The offerings were given and dedicated. "Whisper A Prayer in the Morning" was sung with Belva Fuss at the piano. Minutes were read and adopted. Mrs. Helen Scane had a very interesting introduction to the study for this year "Partner's In the Gospel". This theme will increase our awareness that "We Are Not Alone"–we are par- ticipants in life along with a great company of others, all within the circle of God's love. Audrey Joynt reported on our adopted girl of Burma, and our gifts for her were given. Audrey Christie outlined the business for the year. A tentative date for the beef barbeque is April 22.

Let's hope whoever did the spelling doesn't live there. withwatch CoopresentedJ particular for his leadership during the building of the new arena. Knight said he enjoyed he years on council and would have considered trying to stretch his term to the even 20 years if the council term had been for one year rather than two. He explained that he was u e e n s w ay news and of all the people who Proud of the arena project helped on it. The gift giving ended up as a two-way street, when .Knight presented council with an engraved gavel. He said he had few occasions to use the item in his term as reeve because council members managed to keep their difference within committee meetings and there were few problems encountered at council sessions. Harold "Coog" Knight was presented with an engraved pocket watch at Monday night's meeting of Hensall council as an expression of appreciation for his 19 years' service to the community as a member of council and then reeve. In making the presen- tation, Reeve Paul Neilands said the 19 years may con- stitute a record for Hensall, although he couldn't prove that. He paid tribute to the hard work and efforts of Knight through the years and in Rev. Stanley McDonald conducted the service at the Queensway Nursing Home last week assisted by Mrs. Cecil Pepper at, the piano. Murray Howe was the Treasures uncovered? Similar to many property owners, Hensall council learned this week they may have some valuable treasures in their attic. The suggestion came from Councillors Minnie Noakes and John Skea, who had recently inspected the town hall as part of their duties on the property committee. They presented a report listing several antique items in the town hall auditorium, a facility that is no longer fit for use as a meeting room. Mrs. Noakes said that among the items was an an- tique teacher's desk which had been used by her first teacher, Mrs. George Armstrong (Jessie Buchanan) when she taught in the town hall while the front of the old school (now Wedge's) was being built. Other artifacts included a piano, antique organ stool, chairs, folding benches, velour drapes, six old style butcher baskets, cups used at the dances in the '30s and '40s , two old iron kettles, old-fashioned shade from early street lights, nine lawn bowling balls, many flags, two old copper fire ex- tinguishers, etc. In addition to being a nuisance, Mrs. Noakes said the piles of rubbish in the auditorium constituted a fire hazard and should be clean- ed out. Council accepted the com- mittee's recommendation to have Rathwell's Auction Service evaluate the items to determine if they may be worth enough to hold an auc- tion sale. Skea noted that the items were just deteriorating and should be disposed of in some manner.
