Single` Dole $4409.: Year Discussion Stalls Drain Proposais It was drain day as far° as Tuckersmith Council was eon, c rned when it met here Tues- day afternoon. - • .When council hadadjdied at 7:30 after a six -hour nieet- ing, 12 of the 14 items.. on the afternoon's agenda rethin- ed untouched. The time ds taken up with discussions.,; of engineer's reports. on the Ic- Cullie Drain and the Broadfoot Drain. When the report covering the McCullie Drain had been read at the March meeting, objec- tions were raised because o the cost of the proposed erk. Those involved said when;, the work was initiated it hadf, not been expected to cost as much. Council at that time adjourned consideration of the report so that petitioners could di4euss the matter among themseltjes. When the engineer, henry Uderstad, who was at the Meet- ing, told the seven or tight ratepayers who also .• attended,' that since the last meeting it had been determined" that'""the county proposed lowering a cul- vert by a foot, and that fur- ther work on the other side of the Kippen road to provide an improved" outlet perhaps yould be desirable. This would 'yinean that the work could be eitend- ed beyond the point, ori¢Ij sally contemplated. 'Pressing for an expressippn of opinion, Reeve Elgin Thompson, after nearly two hours' gieeus- sion, told the group the report could be adopted or•could, be referred back to the engineer to consider the additional' cost involved in providing the in- creased outlet. "We are only hereto do • what you wish. We only act for you," Tteeve Thompson pointed out; "why don't you talk it over and tell us what you want." After retiring, the group in- ,dicatted"' it was their wish that the engineer consider the re; port further and indicate whet would_be anxdlved�by -, east in proei ing .the ad i i nal outlet. Eliminate Bridges Council accepted a, tender of Les Beattie at $410.00 to pro- vide repairs of 800 feet to the Henderson Drain. Discussion on the Broadfoot Drain centered about the esti- mated ;cost of $51,750.00. While little objection was raised among the 25 ratepayers pres- ent concerning the necessity for the work, there was doubt as to a proposal to straighten the stream which would result in the elimination of two existing bridges. It was felt much of the cost was reflected 'by the straightening program. The Broadfoot Drain lags been under consideration for many _months and involves nearly five miles of open drain and 200 feet of closed drain. It was last repaired 36 years ago. Engineer S. W. Archibald, who designed the work, in discuss- ing the proposal to straighten the drain, said a group of in- terested .ratepayers had dis'cuss- ed the matter with him and that all had agreed that this was a desirable course to fol- low. On the other hand, a peti- tion signed by several ratepay ers and presented to the meet: ing, indicated that there was objection to the proposal. ' Spokesmen pointed out elim- ination of the two bridges and the replacement of those bridg- Present Annual' Concert.

While of the total estimated cost, approxi- mately $11,000.00, was assessed against roads in the township, the meeting suggested that this should be increased. Council adjourned considera- tion of the report~ and agreed that an approach would be made to the. Department of Highways to -determine whe- ther ,the drain work affected roads to a degree that would result in grants being available.

A wild ride along McKillop roads over the weekend, during. which modern - day cowboys jousted with mail boxes, .has set provincial police on an in- vestigation that is resulting in a series of checks over a wide area. During the trip, at Ieast eight mail boxes were knocked down and supporting posts smashed. In most eases, the boxes ap- peared to have been dragged a distance by the vehicle, then dropped. One mail box is miss- ing. The raid was in two parts, according to police. The dam- aged mail boxes were first dis- covered Sunday morning hav- ing been smashed down some time during the night. Later Sunday night, a truck at the farm of Arnold Camp- bell was stolen and abandoned about half a mile away — run through a fence into a field. The windshield was smashed, and police estimated damage at between $200 and $300. The Campbell mail box was broken down 'at' the same time. According to area residents, the ride apparently began—on County Road 12, north of Sea - Students a 'Publish Explosion Someone once said something to thea, effect that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Accepting the expression as a fact, SDHS students last week didhonor to The Huron Ex- positor when they issued their• monthly paper tinder the- title, "The Huron Explosion". The special issue which adapts regular Expositor layout and features, presents news of the town as seen through the eyes of the students, and in the pro- cess contributes a lively, but on occasion, a not too subtle, re- view. Certainly the student staff is .to be commended for its initiative and enthusiasm. forth; when; a mail box at 'the farm of Ale.X.,,SPiltil Itintek ed.

New Story Series Marks Centennial Half the fun of any party is in the anticipation of it. And this is especially true of Canada's biggest'' party ever— the celebration of her 100th birthday. As a preparation for the Canadian Centennial celebra- tion, The Huron Expositor this week begins an exclusive week- ly 24 -part series, "Canada's Century." Canada's Century tells what Confederation is all about, tree. ing Canada's growth from a struggling little colony to one df the great nations of the world today. The series gives the full story of what motivated the Fathers of Confederation to found a nation, and how they - overcame the critical obstacles that lay in the path. It unfolds . the entire background, of Can-, ada''s development in agricul- ture, industry, science, sporty and culture, and examines the role she played in the world wars, and how her troops have; been in the vanguard, standing sentry for peace. ' Writer of the series is Walt McDayter, who is also author of the nationally -'syndicated story strip, "The Giants", deal- ing with the great men of Can- ada.
