Zurich Citizens News, 1974-01-31, Page 7THURSDAY, JANUARY 31, 1974 ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS PAGE 7 Grand nd paym Residents of Grand Bend have until the end of March this year to make repayment of frontage rates involved with the village's water system. When the water system was installed, ratepayers were given five years to elect to pay the frontage rates in full or have payments spread over 30 years. At last Monday's regular session, council agreed on the March 30 deadline for repay- ment of the frontage rates. Council members have stuck with their original decision to cut the number of garbage pick- ups for 1974 and Councillor Tom Webster reported he had negot- iated a new contract with Mc- Donald's Sanitation of Crediton. Under the new contract, the village will pay $750 per month as compared to $1, 386 with the original agreement which prov- ided commercial pickups seven Shriners The Bluewater Shrine Club elected Noble Spence Cummings of Clinton as their new presid- ent of the Club for the coming year when they had their meet- ing last Wednesday (January 23) at the Sunset Golf and Country Club in Goderich. Other elected officers were Jerry Moffat, of Kippen, first vice-president; Bryan Ainslie of Goderich, second vice-pres- ident; Lawrie Slade, of Clinton, third vice-president; Walter Newcombe of Clinton, treasurer, and William Johnston, of God- erich, secretary. The Shrine Club, which takes in an area from Grand Ben on the south to Wingham on the north and easterly to Seaforth, including Goderich and Exeter, also named area directors to the executive. They are: Grand Bend, Harry Hamilton, Seaforth, Alex Chesney; Goderic John McKeown; Brucefield, Ross Scott; Parkhill, Art Hodgins; Clinton, Lawrie Slade; Brussels, Bill Turnbull; Hensall Bob Drysdale; Watford, Orville Wall- is, Exeter; Harry Strang; Luck - now, Ron Forster; Wingham, George Cameron; and London, Gord Kent. Peter Eisenbach of Grand Bend was picked as honorary director, Ken Flett, of Clinton was named auditor and Bob Drysdale, of Hensall was picked as the director of draws. The new slate was installed by Harold Nichols of Kitchener, chief Robban of the Mocha Temple of London. He is also a charter member of the Blue - water Club . The Bluewater Shrine Club is made up of members of the Mocha Temple of London and was formed in September of 195 9, They are part of 166 Shrine Temples in North America that voluntarily and monetarily sup- port the Burns Institute in Mont- real and Chicago and 17 Shriners Hospitals in Canada and the U.S. The Burns Institute are special care hospitals for the severly burned. The Shriners Hospital provide special treatment for crippled children who otherwise would never receive the help or could not afford it. The local Shrine Club volunteers both time and money to this end and prov- ide both transportation and exp- ense money to these special cases. Guest speaker at the Bluewat- er installation service was Floyd Kyte, of Tillsonburg, who spoke ob "Why children of Israel are returning to Palestine," nt deadiine days per week and residential collections three times a week during the summer periods. Commercial garbage will now be collected each Monday, Wednesday and Friday while the , residential pickups will be once per week but council members suggested a staggered basis on the same days as commercial. The idea for different days for residential pickup came from councillor John Teevins who suggested some cottages may have refuse on Mondays. The original scheme called for 45 selected litter barrels in the village to be picked up by McDonald's each Monday, Wed- nesday and Friday with the vill- age doing the work on Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays. Reeve Bob Sharen added, :et's forget the Tuesday litter barrel pickups and replace them with Sundays." In responding to protests at a recent meeting from several commercial property owners in the village, councillor Doug- las Martin produced figures on the charges now being paid by several ratepayers. He listed three commercial owners who pay a yearly fee of $14.'79; $21. 04 and $30.40 for garbage pickup while some res- idential owners pay as much as $48. Martin said, "this is unfair to the residential people. We should be charging on the amount of garbage collected." Councillor John Teevins sug- gested to council that requests should be made to the Ontario government to allow freer use of the Pinery Park by snowmobilers. Teevins would like to see a $5 season pass for snow vehicles. He added, "we are trying to keep 'snowmobiles off the street, but they have no place to go."

LONGER LIFE FOR YOUR CARPET When purchasing a carpet, the shopper should never negl- ect the proper underlay. Buy the best you can afford, espec- ially for stairways,, says Con- sumers' Association of Canada. An underlay will prolong the wear life of the carpet by add- ing resilience and protecting the carpet backing from abras- ion on a hard floor surface.
