PAGE I2 TERRACE B AY NEWS JANUARY 24, I973 Women's Institute - cont'd A most interesting letter was received by Mrs. Clemens from a pen pal in Franklin, South Africa, describing her life, living alone some 25 miles from a town of 2,000, in a house her father had built when he came there in I80I. Then there were no Africans there only Goigeras, a very small mixed race of indolent people who were glad to sell their farms cheap ly. Members who'd attended the Christmas dinner and party all reported enjoying the event very much. Mrs. C. Todesco, who presided for the meet- ing, in her office as curator, gave a paper on the Tweedsmuir History Book and displayed a Book which is a collection of information and pictures of the history of this area. asked members to assist with the project by contributing material and clippings. Mrs. J.D. Bryson displayed a family Bible which has been in her family since I82I. Plans were completed for the New Year Baby party at the February meeting. Members discussed the placque which used to stand in front of the town hall and it was decided to write the town council about it. The draw prize for the meeting was won by Mrs. T. Spanton and the contest by Mrs. Chris Morris. Lunch hostesses were Mrs. Baxter, Mrs. Eleanor O'Connor and Mrs. Ileene Williamson. She SCHREIBER COUNCIL QUOTES Reeve H.J. McParland at Schreiber's Munic- ipal Council inaugural meeting, congratulated Councillors J.S. Caccamo and H.H. Fischer on being returned to office and welcomed new Councillors N.A. McCuaig and G.H.R. Krause. He thanked Mrs. Mary Zombori, clerk-treasurer and Aurel Gauthier, assistant clerk, for their interest and co-operation. Mr. McParland then outlined matters of prime importance, he felt, to be accomplished or, studied this year: the water line exten- sion on Winnipeg Street; looping of water lin- es on Ontario St. at Drummond and on Ontario at Kingsway; having a consultant, in co-oper- ation with C.P.R. check the dam at Cooks Lake, from which comes the town's water supply bringing in a new Fire Protection By/Law and considering establishing an official plan for the town; checking that all properties owned by the municipality are properly deeded, and, that all properties within the township are vent vehicles parking on the streets between I a.m. and 7 p.m. when snow plowing is requix- ed; that sanding of streets should be done daily, and the subway kept free of snow; he also suggested trying two meetings a month for Council rather than one long one. The Council responded to Mr. McParland's welcome and agreed with his suggestions and in addition J.S. Caccamo urged that efforts be continued to secure the former post office for the public library, and the former Bank of Montreal as a club for senior citizens. Fire Chief Peter Doig, he said, has a new fire code prepared for Council's acceptance; H.H. Fischer is concerned that the necessary inspection of the Cooks Lake dam be carried out this Spring, and additional cemetery pro- perty be secured; Mr. Krause suggested a cemetery board be estab- lished, with By/Laws considered, and possibly the contour of the cemetery changed to an even surface for easier maintenance. He would also like to have zoning of the town considered, as a long-range project; and the possibility of having sidewalks cleared, after storms, for senior citizens; Mr. McCuaig was interested in the possibility of securing low rental housing for retired citizens when unable to maintain individual residence, but, with such maintained quarters, could remain on in the town they've supported all their working years.
