.'The main thing to remember when
turning wood is to keep your chisel sharp,"
says Harvey Sillib, a long-time resident of
Blyth.
Mr. Sillib, 78, has been working with
wood for a good part of his life. He learned
how to turn wood on a lathe from his late
uncle, who was a master woodworker.
"My uncle had turned wood since he was
12 years old. He was still turning it when he
was 94. One day 1 just grabbed a chisel and
started experimenting with the wood,"
said Mr. Sillib.
Mr. Sillib says he has worked at a great
variety of jobs throughout his life. He
farmed for 25 years in Ashfield Township
and when he moved to Blyth in 1951 he
delivered bread, groceries and coal. He
says that his working with wood is
"nothing but a hobby."
Today, Mr. Sillib is unable to turn wood
and build the things he used to.
"I was in the hospital for three months
with back problems and my hands are too
shaky to make much more," said a smiling
Mr. Sillib.
According to Mr. Sillib the first thing you
must do before working on a wood lathe is
to have your ideas all planned out in your
mind.
"You must have everything in your head
before you put the chisel in your hand.
You've got to have it all thought out," said
Mr. Sillib.
Red elm, walnut and cherry are the best
woods to turn according to Mr. Sillib. He

says cedar is nice to work with but "it
chips a way a little too much."
Mr. Sillib has created a number of pieces
of furniture with his wood lathe. Among
them is a lovely walnut table in his living
room. He has also made candle holders,
pen holders and a couple of pedestals for
plants. For the last eight years Mr. Sillib
has provided hammer handles for Cam-
pbell Transport in Blyth.
"My lathe is getting old and it's not
working properly. I don't use it much
anymore," Mr. Sillib said.
To keep busy Mr. Sillib also repairs
furniture for a hobby. He mainly fixes
chairs.
Mr. Sillib warns that some of today's
furniture "isn't worth a fiddler's damn."
"Today's furniture is just thrown
together. The chairs that are fire dried are
so brittle they snap like nothing. I have
furniture that I bought 56 years ago when I
was first married and you can't begin to
compare the difference in quality," said
Mr. Sillib.
Aside from his keen interest in wood
turning Mr. Sillib is also an avid hunter.
"The other day I was out hunting and it
took me four or five shots before I could
knock down a rabbit! My eyesight is
getting bad," said a disappointed Mr.
Sillib.
Mr. Sillib's accomplishments have been
abundant throughout his life and today, at
the age of 78, he's still accomplishing great
things.

Council ready to take action
By Rod Hilts
Blyth council on Monday night passed a
motion stating that a letter should be sent
to Hill and Borgal Architecture of
Gdoerich listing the deficiencies and costs
incurred with the Blyth Memorial Hall
heating problems.
The letter is the final straw in a lengthy
dispute as to who should cover the costs of
repairing the heat pump -air conditioning
unit that council says has caused nothing
but problems since its installation two
years ago. Council is hoping Hill and
Borgal will respond to the letter by con-
tacting the contractors Weisher Plumbing
and Heating as to the defects of the heat
pump and air conditioning system.

Council made the decision to write to Hill
and Borgal after reflecting on a Feb. 28
meeting with the Blyth Recreation
Committee, representatives from the
Blyth Centre for Arts, Hartley Richie from
Fenton Refrigeration of Stratford and
architect Chris Borg al.
At the meeting Mr. Borgal was
questioned as to his supervision of the
installation of the heating -air conditioning
system. He stated that he relied on Dave
Wolfe, an engineer from Weisher Plum-
bing and Heating. His reasoning for such a
move was that he was saving the village
and Blyth Centre for the Arts money. Mr.
Borgal also felt that the Blyth had a
legitimate claim against Stahle, the
original contractor and Weisher, the sub-
contractor of the project.
On March 2 Clerk Larry Walsh spoke
with solicitor Ross Davies who said that he
would put the council in touch with a
lawyer in London as to the village's
chances of obtaining a claim.
