didn expect one the first of March Mrs Wright captured the bee in a box and took it to her small greenhouse where it buried itself in the middle of a geranium blossom The next da it was happily buzzing among the small sweet smelling buds on the gardenia plant A sign of spring Mrs Wright However she has a hoya plant in full bloom now with its flower almost dripping honey She thinks this might

bee laws New laws mut be signed because of mistakes in the original by laws published in August 1970 explained Clerk liod at Monday of ternoon meeting of the township council when the subject was discussed following receipt of the trustees resolution Mr said the by laws had been changed and updated and he presumed the entire procedure would hove to be repeated Councillor Stronc made no bones about his position on the subject A Rockwood resident he sold the township council was the senior body of government and on issues of this magnitude they had a to fully examine all the issues before endorsing a by law for a project which many village residents opposed because of the lack of sufficient information He said the Ontario Water Commission used to ramming things down the throats of rural municipalities has been unscrupulous in Its attitude CUBS FROM and Acton and their leaders were denominational and followed along the lines of a folk among those attending the ScoutGuide Week service at Holy service Staff Photo Cross Church Georgetown Sunday The service was little information to residents Look It over It is our responsibilit to look this over before wc do anything Mr Strong told council I not convinced in my own mind that the police village is capable of what is best for It it would be wrong to pasi a by law concerning 1j million without even having any Idea what they say is true Clerk I Hindley told council the trustees have examined the by laws and they wanted to proceed I suggest wc get the trustees out and talk about It said Councillor Strong don t think they are competent to deal with it He said they had nothing more from the province but a request to sign and this was ridiculous because we haven even seen plans just don t accept that this is the way governments should be run and a lot in he declared strongly Hearing If sign Deputy Reeve Duncan Mc took issue with Mr Strong objections to signing the by laws The way he saw It signing was the only legal wa to get an Ontario Municipal Board hearing He agreed there was a need for more information on the proposals but saw the only way to get answers was a hearing But Mr Strong thought putting the township signature on by laws was tantamount to approving the projects He told council to note the amount of opposition both from individuals and the ratepayers association which represented people I think this is an opportunity to make these guys be honest with us he declared I sympathize with the people of persisted the deputy reeve but he still felt signing would force the hearing and get the controversy into the open Strong appeal We re in a position to say to the OWRC we want to see the plans but once we pass It Its approved and hands are tied I suggest don pass it Councillor Strong appealed Reeve Warren Parkinson partially agreed with his colleague noting the Issue which could affect I ramosa Itlvcr also concerned township and another smaller hamlet downriver Wliat will do then asked the deputy reeve forward letter to the asking for further information or ask village to do It Councillor Strong resorted to an analogy Would you buy a cow without knowing anything about If he asked Mr McPhcdnm referring obliquely to his own position on the sewer water question t need a hearing if these unmentionables treated us like human beings he concluded Set precedent reeve told council he hated to pass a motion when a resident of the village felt so strongly it but noted that in the past the townshop council had always acceded to requests from the village trustees Council agreed they should meet with village trustees before any further action The meeting was proposed for Monday March 15 Two thefts this week A break in at the home of Joseph St was reported to Acton
