Meadows WhUc living In the village all his life Mr Meadows never remembers hearing of foxes In the villaae The last time they were really bad was six or seven years ago Mr Meadows could not understand why dog owners There about dogs running loose In he north section of the village How do the owners know if their dog gets bitten by a rabid animal asked Mr Meadows He did not believe higher fines for

added here JOHN SOMMER VIEWS ART EXHIBITS Whats Modern Art Homage To The Sun Each person has his own views on modern art Some people follow certain art movements and trends as enthusiastically as a heavy bettor follows the progress of various horses On the other hand some people care less about modern art The latter person usually sums up bis views in the sentence I know what I like and I dont like that John Sommer operator of the Gallery House Sol In Georgetown has some In teres ting views on the subject The very fact that he along with his wife Gicsata runs an art gallery indicates his in in the subject AH art done today be people who live within their time cannot help but show the particular problems of the times he This counts for the confused tastes in art today Going to an art gallery tells people something about the limes they are living in he continues We have found out all kinds of things about the ancient world Through the artifacts we have found Their art reflected the world they lived in So looking in gently at contemporary da In tines vou can see whats wrong with our times I try to make people aware of this that art is not something to be afraid of to be in awe of he added You have to get in the habit of going to to this Lets face It most people buy two or three paintings in a lifetime Most people come to look And what they will see is the times in which they live This week marks the final few days of Homage To The Sun a show of Canadian art with Ihe sun as its central theme The display is being shown at Gallery House Sol In Georgetown John Sommer who operates the gallery with his wife Gisela noted some Canadian artists had been asked to submit works for the exhibit Asa result the gallery is showing some works by both local and notional artists We started to prepare the show last fall Mr said and had a fine response The high quality of the works especially those by local artists makes this a show worth seeing We left it up to the artists what they would submit he said We re very pleased with the results The show closes this Thursday evening at p Land Appraisals Centre Of Debate Before Council Members of Hal ton Hills Counoil continued their arguments concerning the appraisal of a Shelley street lot in Georgetown during their special meeting last Tuesday night Coun Dick offered a resolution to the council for a new appraisal of the lot as two half lots rather than the whole one Before we can offer it for sale to abutting landowners we have to fix a price based on an appraisal said Coun His resolution allowed Councillors Em Hyde aid Morrow a chance to continue their complaints from Monday nights meeting Both men believe the fixed price should be based on an ap praised value of the whole lot at The resolution says that the value of the half lot may be only argued Coun Hyde Later if the land Is reassembled in one lot size by the owners it may retail for about as a building lot At Monday nights meeting Coun Howitt explained that the town was not land speculators and the price was too high for half lots He told council members that the town could enter an agreement disallowing the property to be reassembled Afterwards Coun Hyde out that any agreement only binds the original purchaser of the property Our agreements only bind the original buyer of the land Either the town sells the property as a whole split in two half lots for the money or the new buyers can later sell it for at least three times what they pay for It now Morrow did not want to see more of the tax payers money spent on ap praisals of the property since one was finished for a is value Weve spent money to get the original appraisal and now well spend more to have two property for what it worth he said Its ridiculous for us to give away something for less than its worth The taxpayers will be very upset Coun Coxe agreed with Coun He noted that until toe land la assembled Into lot Its oat worth the 000 appraisal Both Councillors Hyde and Morrow added that more than two appraisals may be needed because all the abutting Ian downers were not contacted We have land owners on the other road and the back of their lots may be abutting this property said Hyde They will have the right to purchase part of the too The resolution for two new appraisals was carried by the eight members of council attending the meeting

got nine youll prob ably be asked to attend a interview and redo your test At fifteen points youll lose your licence for thirty days and drop back to seven points Get fifteen again and you wont dnve
