YOUR COUNCIL AT WORK Bastard & South, Burgess P. McManus A . Greenhorn We are all happy that Mrs. Vera Sheridan received a Volunteer Service Award. As she was unable to attend the presentation in Kingston by the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture, her award was presented by Reeve Ostrom at a meeting of the Beverley Senior Citizens. Members of Mrs. Sheridan's family were present as were Deputy Reeve Joe Raison and Councillor Anna Greenhorn. Mrs. Sheridan replied in her usual effervescent manner so everyone present felt they were participants in the honour bestowed on Mrs. Sheridan. Council proclaimed October 16th as WORLD FOOD DAY in an effort to increase awareness of severe hunger throughout the world. This day will be recognized in 147 countries. All food banks are low on supplies and Bastard and South Burgess is no exception. Donations may be left at your church or at the Municipal Office, Chantry. Unfortunately, the Municipality has no facilities for handling perishable food. Work has started on the thorny problem of Young's Hill, Forfar Road. Already the old pavement has been torn up , chewed up and regurgitated by a newâ€"fangle‘d but efficient (and cost efficient) machine. Plans are to add 4" to 6" of gravel, grub and ditch the sides of the road, pave the hill to prevent wash out and, if budget permits, put a top coat on the entire road before snow flies. Some owners have commenced rehabilitation of the trees, others are planning how best to preserve the vista. John Bonser, Rideau Canal Superintendent, and Brian Grimsey, Parks Canada Planner, attended the Sept.215t meeting at the invitation of Council to discuss the 5,6,5, CONTRACTORS Box 73 PORTLAND, ONTARIO KOG\vo FREE ROOFING RON 27 2‘ DALIâ€"I ESTI MATES V54» 25 YEARS EXPERTENCE in NE»!
