Morris 125th committee
reports on celebr�tion
The Morris 125th anniver-
sary committee reported a
profit of approximately $25
for the Aug. 1 weekend cele-
bration.
However, Morris Reeve
Bill Elston said the
celebration was meant to be
a time for gathering with
family and friends, not a
money -making scheme,
Leona MacDonald, com-
mittee chairman, inform-
ed council members at .a
meeting held last Tuesday
that as of 11 a.m. that
morning the committee had
$13,924.50 in the bank, but
that figure would pe sub-
stantially,diminished after a
number of bills were paid.
The township's .com-
memorative book proved to
be a disappointment. The
committee ordered 2,000
copies of the book and to date
only about 300 have been'
sold. Publishing the „ books
cost $12,000 which, with other
expenses, will drain the
committee's assets.
But committee members
stressed the celebration is
now totally paid for. Any
sales of books or souvenirs
will be clear profit. It was
suggested that booths be set
up at the Belgrave and
Brussels school fairs and at
the • Blyth Threshermen's
Reunion to sell souvenirs and
the committee hoped that
quite a number of books will
be sold 'by the end of the
year, perhaps as Christmas
gifts: `
Other members of the
committee are Bessie
Johnston, Jim Bowman,
Carmen Craig and Clarence
McCutcheon and all agreed
the committee's books
should be closed out by the

the farm for two years; he
said 'add explained that he
thought the property might
be easier to sell if severed.
