Chief Barnett will be notified of the proper channels to go through before any decisions in his department are made | Councillor Hale recommended that signs for street workers at work be ordered and this was done. A discussion took place regarding the sewage lagoon, costs of the work to be done and the need for a bulldozer for this work. It was decided that an increased rate would be awarded for the rental of a truck which Council had tendered for, due to the costs of operation being higher than the original tender. Council has also decided to gather informa- tion on truck speculations. Councillor Megraw reported a broken sewer line in town and other problems sewers are causing when heavy rain is experienced. A detailed discussion was had on supplying Mr. J. Mikus the services he will require for a motel. Councillor Megraw and Helmink will look into equipment needed such as lawn mower, snow blow- er and saw and will decide on what would be the best suitable to purchase. A photo studio has requested to purchase a monthly transient traders permit, rather than paying the yearly fee of $100. Council felt if they make an exception for one they would have to do it for all and will notify the stud- io they will have to pay the yearly rate.

He is a keen and expert gardener; his Begonias . have received first prize for two years in' a row at the Horticultural Society Show. In addition to the actual planting of the flowers, Mike spends much time in the prepar- ation of the soil-arranging, mulching, hoeing, trimming and watering of the plants on a reg- ular basis. He has supplied the bedding plants (except the Begonias which were pur- chased last year by the hospital) at his own expense. Mr. and Mrs. Steen selected these plants for him and brought them down from the Lakehead. This is an example of creating interest by being interested. The McCausland Hospital, our community hospital, has more beautiful surroundings be- cause of the efforts of these people. Public Relations Committee The McCausland Hospital THE LAKE SUPERIOR BOARD MEETING The Lake Superior Board of Education held its regular board meeting on June 2Ist at Marathon High School. Students of Grade I3, Marathon High School, who conducted a survey of "chemicals, alcohol, cigarette smoking and hash", attended by their teacher Mr. A.J.
