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.
Levy "lowest in awhile"
BLYTH - The Huron County Board of
Education levy on the Village of Blyth for
1985 is $139•,495, up 7.05 per cent from last
year's levy of $130,308. '''The Huron -Perth
County , Roman Catholic Separate School
Board's 1985 levy is $2,830, an 6.5 per cent in-
crease over the 1984 figure of $1,329.
The Huron County 'Board increase is "the.
lowest in awhile," said Clerk Larry Walsh.
The residential assessment has decreased
from $719,356 in 1984 to $717,211. The com-
mercial assessment has increased from

"This is the biggestchange we have had,"
commented Clerk Walsh, but the change of
school support does not directly effect the
village's levy.

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

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

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.
