Sbow Club Formed y To Keep Osprey Highways Open The people of Osprey township are taking things into their own hands and have formed a Snow Club to further the interest of residents in that district in having their main roads plowed so that easier communi- cation may be enjoyed with the out- side world during the winter. It is the intention of the Club to have the highway from Flesherton to Sing- hampton kept open with a snow plow this winter. For every dollar that the residents subscribe, the township council and the County of Grey will donate one each, which means that if $500 is collected these two bodies will donate $1000, making $1500 available for snow plowing. This movement should receive widespread support by the people interested. OiTicers elected are as follows: President, Arnold Hutchinson; Vice- Pres., Alfred Down; Secretary, John Robinson; Treasurer, C. N. Long; Executive, G. B. Welton, Ed. Seeley, Mel Sled. Stan Smith, J. A. Richards. Tuesday afternoon H. A. McCaulev I went over the road with the Flesher- ton plow and made travel by car much easier. There was not a great deal of snow on the highway but the stub into Feversham was heavy and would. have been blocked with a heavy blow.
