Would you decorate your living room with fine fur- niture, lovely draperies, etc. and leave an old faded, worn carpet on the floor? How often in mid or late summer do, yoU see a lovely home, be it a modern executive type, a stately old house or a cozy cottage, sitting on a brown -patchy green carpet? As lawns (especially 'mowing') is primarily dad's job - mom can look after the flowers - your local Garden Club has been fortunate in engaging Ed Martin, Director of Parks and Recreation for Stratford, to speak on this very important subject of lawns and lawn care. With Spring starting m February this year, and a speaker like Ed who is a graduate of the Niagara School of Horticulture, we should be off to a good start on that very important carpet surrounding our homes.

Road Superintendent Ron Durnin presented his preliminary road budget for 1983 and after some discus- sion, council deferred final consideration until eon - sideration of the whole township budget. • Fled Sandy and MacEwan Egener spoke to council con- cerning the condition of the gravel road leading from County Road 37 to Ridgewood Park. Mr. Sandy complained that the road was muddy and full of potholes and asked that it be / rebuilt. Council felt that from what they knew of the road, it was in as good shape as the majority of township roads which were gen4ally considered to be in good shape this spring. Council said that higher priorities were already established for road construction in 1983, but consideration'would be given to placing the road in a higher construction priority; possibly next year or the following year. Approval was given the road superintendent to at- tend the C. S. Anderson Road School at Guelph. The school, sponsored by the On- tario Good Roads Associa- tion, will be held from May 1 to May 4. Several complaints have been received by the road superintendent regarding a possible dangerous traffic situation at the intersection of Mill Road and Ridgewood Park Roadln Block A, and in response, council passed By- law No. 7-1983, amending By- law No. 3-1983, to authorize the installation of a, stop sign requiring east -bound traffic aiming Out of Iiidgewood Park to stop before entering onto Mill Road. Council instructed the clerk and road superinten- dent to submit a formal ap- plication for funding under the Canada/Ontario Employment Program for improvements to the propos- ed park area in part lot 4, concession 1 W.D. The work, if approved, would see im- provement to the entrance road, fencing of the proper- ty, road drainage and" some scrub bush clean-up. An, application by Bruce Stoll -for extension of the period previously authorized by a temporary building per- mit, allowing the use Of a mobile home trailer on part lot 14, Lake Road East Con- cession, was considered by council. Because a mobile home trailer is now allowed as a primary residence on agricultural land as provid- ed in the comprehensive zon- ing by-law, council approved of the removal of the designation "temporary" in the permit. Councillor • Douglas Stoll, brother of the applicant, declared his con- flict of interest because of the close relationship, and abstained from the council discussion and vote. . A letter from Barry Million, requesting a clean- out of the lower end of the Mill ia n -Thom Municipal Drain in lot 9, concession 5 E.D. was considered. For- dyce Clark, - township drainage inspector, will be asked to examine the drain and give his recommenda- tion. Council approved , the purchase .of one dozen 12 - inch decals of the new township crest for , use on township road vehicles 'and township signs. The decals are to be purchased through Dave Hemingway, Woodway Industries, R.R.2 Bayfield. Deputy -Reeve V anstone advised council that Reg Riehl of Saltford will be the chairman of the township recreation committee for 1983 and Mrs. Helen Riehl of Saltford will continue as secretary for the committee.
