Scugog Township is going all. Members "of council agreed unanimously at the regular meeting Monday afternoon to place an immediate order for the 1400 gallon tanker-pumper combination at a price of $67,000, When details of purchase of the new truck were first discussed by council two weeks ago, finance commit- tee chairman Reg Rose expressed concern that taking the money from the reserve accounts could leave them dangerously low, possibly. resulting in interest charges for short-term bank borrowing. However, councillor Rose said on Monday that while he ARERR YAGER to get its new fire truck, after LP J hs still has some concerns about the level of cash reserves, a study of the balances since the meeting two weeks ago show that the situation "'is not as bad as I first thought." The recommendation to buy the truck at this time was made by the Finance Committee, of which council- lor Rose and Jerry Jackman are members. The committee's report to council shows that even with the $67,000 for the truck committed, the Township's two capital reserve accounts will have a total of about $115,000 in them. As well, the report says that an additional $56,000 will come into the municipality's coffers this October via development fee charges for Potpourri Guild starts new year by Zona Parkes The Potpourri Handicraft Guild helds its first meeting of the new season on the evening of September 3rd at Town Hall 1873.

At the conclusion of the business portion of the meeting, it seemed apparent that the Guild members were confident about a successful sale this year. Later, on the agenda, were interesting demonstrations by members Marilyn _ Youmans and Mary Ann Suppelsa. Mary Ann, with a small broom of dried grasses, a grouping of dried flowers and a ribbon bow of complimentary colours, created a lovely arrange- ment which seemed to be attractively suited to hang on a door or on a kitchen, dining room or living room wall. Marilyn's contribution to this fascinating art was a clever arrangement of dyed cornhusk flowers, Baby's breath, eucalyptus leaves and a bow artistically placed flnnmuanumaunninoin SEWING MACHINE REPAIRS call GIL RUMMENIE 986-5319 Or Drop Off At MODERN TEXTILES Le TTT TTT TITTY on a wicker fan.
