She estimated the township would be underspent by about $239, excluding the roads ac- count, which may change before year end because of the snow clearing bill. With the budget review Mrs. 'Kelly told council the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority's Lower Town flood plain acquisition program required some money from Turnberry. Because the township is the benefiting municipality it is responsible for 15 per cent of the cost. Turnberry now owes the MVCA about $15,000 as its share of the program costs. Council will wait until its Jan. 2, 1979, meeting to see how much money it can pay toward the program for the 1978 year. In other business council Come in and get to know us !

Council will try to get the paving project designated as a 'development road project which would be covered by a 100 per cent grant from the province. Road Superintendent Len Baird said the road work com- pleted on that section of the B- line in the past year or so totalled about $319,040.01. The project was designated a development road project so that cost was borne by the prpvince. Mr. Baird said the improved gravel road is too wide to grade easily and that increased traffic on the B-line makes the surface deteriorate quickly. Turnberry Reeve Don Eadie asked how much it costs to maintain the road as a gravel road. Mr. Baird estimated the costs at $600 a mile for chloride to reduce dust, $600 a year for gravel for each mile of the four - mile road and about $80 a year for grading. "For the life expectancy of it, I think black top would be cheaper," he said. He recom- mended that council get a hot mix surface for the road if the B- line were being paved. Though the hot mix surface is more expensive, it lasts longer. MOTEL PLAN APPROVED Council gave initial approval to a plan by John Cox to build a motel west of Wingham. The township approval is subject to the approval of the Huron County Planning Board. As a condition, council decided if a new bylaw is needed to allow the motel the bylaw would be prepared at the expense of the developer. A letter from Turnberry Estates told council that nine new homes in the mobile home park had been occupied in 1978. Turnberry Township charges the occupancy fees and building permits for the mobile homes, when they, are occupied. Coun.

Mr. Eadie said he recently instructed Mr. Greenaway to issue permits for steel granaries because they meet the definition of a building in the Ontario Building code. Council decided to reserve a room at the Royal York Hotel in -Toronto for the Rural Ontario Municipalities Association an- nual convention, which will be' held Feb. 4-7. Coun. Ben Malda wasn't in favor of the move. "As far as I'm concerned, it's id of at it just a waste of money," the convention. He ad is "a big waste too". Mr. Eadie said in the past he had found the convention very informative. Any council member or the clerk may go to a Jan. 12, 13 convention in Brantford, council decided. The convention is designed to give council mem- bers, especially new councillors, a better understanding of their duties and responsibilities. Council will pay all expenses for the clerk or council members wishing to attend. The Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario district, plea for a $35 grant didn't get much sympathy from council. "Asking for a donation is one thing, but setting the price is a little nervy," Mr. Malda Said. Council also felt it is better to supporkflocol charities than provincial or national groups. No grant was made. Council decided it would aide vertise that it isn't responsible for damage to vehicles parked along township roads or to mailboxes near the roadway during the winter. Council will also notify in writing people known to leave vehicles along the' road impeding traffic and snow The Wingham Advance -Times.

Stir in a liberal supply of memories of how we have been and still are blessed by the birth of Jesus. Let the, resulting thoughts simmer uptil' they crystallize in the conviction that what blessings we have received we ought to pass on. Then, While this conviction is • still warm, pour out into a well- defined plan of action. Test for consistency by giving to some worthwhile cause. If this recipe produces a happier Christmas, then you may repeatit weekly for a happier New Year,." The worship service closed with a carol and prayer.
