Coldwater Visitors brighten up the home by E. Lorraine Orr Mrs. Betty Langley was pleased to have her daughters Leona (Mrs. Ray Willison) of Toronto, and Marie (Mrs. Gary Shellswell) and grandson Scott of Pickering, visit with her for a few days. Marie and her family have recently moved from Kingston. Susan and John Smith and children Martha . and Andrew of Hanover were recent visitors with Susan's grand- parents, Olive and Bill Wylie of River Street. A delegation from Coldwater's Women's Institute attended the recent Council meeting to discuss the serious road conditions on River Street at the north end of the Village by the Government Dock, CNR bridge and along in front of the doctors' offices. The group thought this part of the roadway is very unsafe, as the shoulders of the road are eroded away and the guardrails are broken and have not been replaced. In a previous ap- pearance before Council, the ladies were advised that this road was a County of Simcoe connecting link and the responsibility of the County to repair. However, Council has since learned that the County is responsible for only the centre 20 feet of the road. Cold- water Council agreed to check the conditions and would later inform the members of the Women's Institute. The sympathy of the villagers is extended to Linda Hass_ whose father passed away last week following a short illness. Line-ups are becoming longer at the vehicle bureau in Orillia. Car licences for 1981 are due before Feb. 28. Speed things up by obtaining and com- pleting a renewal ap- plication form _ ob- tainable at the liquor store before joining the lineup.

At a recent Council meeting a motion was passed to accept the following people for volunteer service on village committees - Dr. Gord Godwin will serve for a one-year term on the Community Centre board. The Planning Board will have the services of Frank Doble for three years and Frank Grise for two years. John Cropper, Jim Graham, Frank Grise and David Parker will all serve on the Industrial Committee. Directors of the outside activities of the Coldwater Fall Fair board met recently at the home of President John Orr, along with members of the Oro Fair Board. This was necessary as Oro's fair dates had to be changed as they were conflicting with Cold- water's Sept. 25 and 26 dates. Because Cold- water is extending their fair days to three, it was possible to come to an agreeable arrangement enabling competitors to enter in both fairs. The exchange of ideas was greatly appreciated by | all attending the meeting. Irene Oakley ac- companied Betty Langley to Midland recently to visit with Marion and Percy Langley.
