ontario water resour ces commission for ap proval of an extension to the towns sewage plant he said that members had been informed of this most recent action by way of a note sneaked into the meeting i feel were being dictated to and i dont like it reeve alma walker said she had received infor mation that two firms had approached the owrc concerning the possibility of enlarging the plant she suggested that perhaps a second appeal in person before the commission might bring ravorable re sults councillor rod stewart pointed out that an inade quate sewerage service i church windows smashed

the dam age spree pals meet after 68 years saved friends life stouffville sixty- eight years ago two young boys aged 7 and 11 em barked on a boating ex cursion across elgin pond in the town of uxbridge the craft was caught up in a cross wind and became wedged against an old wooden bridge in an effort to dislodge it the youngest of the pair attempted to pry the boat loose with a stick he lost his balance and fell in he was res- cued by his companion after going down for a third time the victim of the near- drowning was ernie sollitt now 75 of peterborough his rescuer was ross davis 79 of stouffville the two met again for a first time sunday after noon mr sollitt visited for a few hours at the home of his sister mrs charlie feasby george street i remember like it was yesterday said ernie i fell into the water head first i couldnt swim ross grabbed me by the hair and pulled me out he saved my life neither man could re call how he acquired the boat lets just say we borrowed it

better known to his many friends as shine still operates his tailor and tobacco shop on main street was presently the villages most pressing problem i feel that some of us should go down and hear whats on their- minds councillor lloyd aber- nethv suggested that if the owrc w a s about to give its approval to the project some kind of pres sure must have been ex erted why should they do this after the develop ers have seen them weve been knocking our heads against the wall for the past two years and get no thing but no for an an swer these people go down and are told we can build onto the present plant it doesnt make sense deputyreeve albert laidlaw said he could see nothing wrong with the developers taking the ini tiative they are well aware that we as a council cannot entertain further residential buildup unless the capacity of our plant is increased a suggestion by council lor allison that a notice of motion should have been presented before discus sion on the subject was raised brought a sharp rebuke from the reeve i tried that once and was voted down she said councillor stewart sug gested that if townsfolk were aware of discussions at meetings we would outdraw the roxy a motion that council apply to the owrc for approval of a further ex tension to the sewage dis posal plant was approved on a 32 recorded vote in favor were reeve walker deputyreeve laidlaw and
