(Anne Narejko photo) Mapies to be Plante BLYTH - Council will save approximately $83.50 by having village staff plant the re- quired trees for the 1985 Tree Program. The 20 tree.project is estimated to cost $770.36. At council's April meeting, Councillor Bill Manning suggested the trees be planted by town employees so costs could be cut, pro- vided the warranty still applies. Councillor Manning obtained quotes from three suppliers and found the least expen- sive supplier charged $19-$30 for various types of maple trees. • ' Eight silver maples, six royal red maple, three Norway maples, - two schwedler maples and one.. harlequin maple will be planted this year, costing $476. The re- mainder of the cost is made up of- stakes, peat moss, wire, garden hose:, bone meal and,labor. •'I think we can pre -dig the holes, put the peat moss in and then pick up the trees. Hopefully we'll get them planted in pretty short order. Depending on the weather, they might be planted within the next .two weeks," said Councillor Manning. Post office parking . •- • The Blyth -Post Office has requested .a 15 minute parking limit be placed in front of their building on Queen Street. "The local postal department states that customers are unable to stop to pick up their mail during the theatre season because buses park in front for several hours at a time," noted Clerk Larry Walsh. .Council felt this was a "reasonable re- quest" and will contact . the Ministry of Transportation and Communications to see . if the signs can be put up.

The residential increase 'by the Huron - Perth County Board is. $2,567, bringing this year's assessment to $2,6,152.

RAY MADILL BLYTH 523-4334 Agent for ABC ANNUITIES LTD. CL.370.8 ememlerinag Eleanor This poem was read by Mrs. Archambault at the Auburn WI meeting in memory of the late Eleanor Bradnock. When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears, And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile And for my sake and in my name, Live on and do all things the same. Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and cheer. And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near. And never, never be afraid to die. For I am waiting for you in the sky. BY. Helen Rice The Blyth Swinging Seniors met in the Memorial Hall cin May 22.

UCW stewardship Stewardship was the subject dealt with at the May meeting of Blyth UCW. Through the reading of verses from Genesis and a meaningful paraphrase on them by Joanne Bauman, members were reminded of the responsibility as Stewards of the Earth and the gratitude that is owed to God for all he has provided in it. June Peck gave an expansive view of what is being done in this field. Examples include The UCW London Conferences financial objective for Mission and Service of which Rev. Jewitt Parr has been head for the past 11 years, was topped in 1984. Chris- tians' concern for the underprivileged, in- cluding handicapped children in South Korea, has resulted in that country's re- quest for the UCW to sponsor children in poorer countries than theirs. President Susan Howson displayed a Fish Pin, and explained how their sale helps support political prisoners in South Korea. A big day for Blyth UCW is the June 3 _ Camp Site Experience at Menesetung organized by Huron Perth UCW. The Blyth UCW will be setting out the lunch provided by all attending. Fall gets insulation, tables, chairs BLYTH -' The Blyth Memorial Hall has been equipped with new insulation and will soon have new chairs and tables. The total cost is $8,984.50. Urethane foam insulation has been put in the attic of the hall, costing $5,400. "We are pretty well beat at this point to know what else to do," said Councillor Albert Wasson. After looking at the heat loss problem, Councillor Wasson told council that a great deal be heat was being trapped in the attic. Council considered installing the Urethane fdam three years ago, but at that time it was considered too namable. However, at council's April meeting, Coun- cillor • Bill Howson explained, "If it's between walls, the foam is acceptable because the air can't get at it." • Before installing the insulation, council CLAYBERT FARM DRAINAGE Clay or plastic (open trench method) with FREE ESTIMATES CLAYTON MARTIN R.R. 2 Zurich 519-236-4,766 Drained fields increase yields members checked with the fire department and insurance company on its acceptability. The bill was given to the recreation com- mittee, and they have requested a $5,000 grant to cover the costs. Council made the motion to grant the committee the money during their May meeting. The $5,000 brings council's donations to recreation committee to $13,000. Last year council granted the committee $19,000. However, the village received an Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Program (ONIP) grant of $3,300 in 1984 and are eligi- ble for a grant of $3,000 for insulation and furnishings this year. Further improvements included 100 chairs and 20 tables which have been ordered for use at the arena and Memorial Hall, costing $3,584.50. In the.committee's 1985 budget, $4,000 has been put in an account for dishes, kitchen tables and chairs. The Blyth Centre for the Arts has indicated that they may donate $2,000 towards either insulation and -or fur- nishings. . Recreation Budget The Blyth Recreation Committee finished 1984 with a $1,320 loss. Revenue from grants, rentals and donations totalled $27,065 while expenses reached $28,385. (These expenses may be reduced when the ONIP grants for insulation and furnishings are received.) The budget for 1985 has been set so the committee will break even: Revenue and ex- penses have been calculated to total $32,200. The committee • is expecting $21,200 in grants and $2,500 in donations. They are also expecting to earn $8,500 in rentals. Expenditures include salaries at $5,000, heat and utilities at $7,200; maintenance at $9,400; insurance at $1,200; dishes, kitchen tables and chairs and insulation at $9,400.
