Bluevale also was the site of several stores and hotels, a tannery, cheese and cabinet factories, a school and several churches. Belmore, Glenannan, Glen Farrow, Morrisbank and Zetland also were centres of commerce in early years, but all, - save Belmore, are really little more than a memory today. MODERN TIMES Modern-day Turnberry has little in common with that township of long ago. This year a total of $167,161 in takes are to collected for township purposes. Turn - berry's 1984 population, to date, is 1,470 and is derived from 532 households. Turnberry still may be the smallest township in the county, but its operations are totally up-to-date, offering residents a wide variety of services. In recent years, several very prosperous business have chosen to locate in Turnberry and among them are Royal Homes Ltd., Brookhaven Nursing Home, the Co -Op and most recently, Bavarian Deli Packers But the main industry of the township remains agricul- ture. Its council is headed by Reeve Brian McBurney. Doug Fortune is the deputy reeve, while the councillors are- Joan --Wright (the -first woman elected to /rurnberry council), Donald Morrison and Randy Scott. Township employees are Dorothy Kelly, clerk - treasurer, Ross Nicholson, road and drainage superintendent and roadmen George Gallaway and Len Baird. Council has embarked upon a five-year plan of road, bridge and drainage improvements which members hope will contine the high standards witnessed in the 1879 atlas: "The great railway facilities, superior high- ways, and exceptionally fine water -privileges which Turnberry possesses are among the many adjuncts of its present material resources which have heretofore contributed so surely to its healthy development and still con- tinue it in possession of advantages second to none in the county." tc detveReits Drop in and See our In Store Specials In the Zehrs Plaza, Wingham 357-1911 rill Bob Foxton PErIMAIVisA Fuels Ltd.
