Church Zurich Student Speaking Champ At the special meeting on Monday, the council passed a motion granting Cook Bros. permission to build the nec- essary conveyor across the street, after an agreement has been signed with the village holding Cook Bros. respon- sible for any liability caused by the conveyor. Applications for grants under the Centennial Projects Act must be made by August 3. Council has received word from Huron County Council that no county -wide project is being undertaken. This leaves grants available in the municipality at the rate of $1.00 per capita. In other words, with a popula- tion of 1,000, a municipality could spent $2,000 on a centen- nial project, and apply for $1,000 grant.

The Gardens management was given permis- sion to do this by the city of Toronto, but this permission was later revoked by the On- tario Municipal Board. Members of council expressed their sympathy with Cook Bros., and they were interested in co- operating, provided that the permission was legal.

Councillor Harold Knight re- ported on a convention in To- ronto at the King Edward Hotel, where he had heard the Ilan - J. Wilfred Spooner discuss cen- tennial grants and enjoyed a "question box" session, in which four men answered questions on zoning, building and school topics. Knight was disappointed in the address given by the Hon. W. G. Davis, Minister of Educa- tion, however. "It seemed more of a campaign speech than an . informative one," said Knight. Another disappointment was that although he had seen Rich- ard Burton, Liz was not with him. "He's not as pretty as she is," said the councillor. "My, they must have fun playing tag in the back of that Cadillac." he went on. ,`It's about a block long." Members of the Hensall Girl Guide Troop attended this meet- ing of council with their leaders. Improvement to the Hensall Community Park may be un- dertaken as a Centennial proj- ect by the village.

Arena this Friday night. Game time is 8:30 p.m. The final series will be a best -of -seven affair. No fur- ther dates have been set for the series, since-Strathroy wished to hold off for at least another week, before starting the play- offs. According to manager George Beer, the Rockets would not agree to open the series at all, this week. However. Beer con- tacted the OHA office in Toron- to, and they in turn ordered Strathroy to open Friday night in Hensall. The dates for the balance of the schedule will be set by the OHA as well, since Strathroy refuse to negotiate. Several players on the Roc- kets line-up are apparently out with injuries, and the manage- ment of the club hoped to stall the series long enough for them to recuperate. Howard Alt k e n, Goderich grocer, who is zone chairman for Huron County of the Mid - Western Ontario Development Association, spoke at length concerning the work of that as- sociation, and suggested that if the village wished to have a meeting on planning, Mid- WODA would arrange to bring in a speaker on the subject.

Negotia- tions with the CNR is being un- dertaken, and ways and means of levying the cost are being The Township of Hay Muni- progresses on schedule, with cipal Telephone System year- end statement for 1963 is com- plete and reveals a profit of $9,375,92.
