CANTON SENIOR
CENTER NEWS
Tuesday evening several
guests from LaBelle came and
helped the Canton Center with
their sing-a-long and skits, in
spite of the rain.
Coming Events:
Oct. 20, Birthday carry-in

No action was taken on
changing the municipal court
to conform with new state
regulations that will take
effect in January of 1979.
Under the new laws, the
municipal court will be con-
trolled by the State Supreme
Court and under the super-
vision of the Circuit Judge of
the district. The city has the
option of remaining with the
present system of abolishing
the court and having the
associate magistrate judge of
the county hearing the city
cases. The city attorney
reported he felt unofficially
the court would still be held in
Canton under the associate
magistrate program.
Action was also delayed on
the purchase of a rebuilt
sewer root cleaning machine
until other bids were received.
The city currently has the
option of purchasing a used
machine for approximately
$4,800 with the trade in of the
present city machine.
While several of the council
members felt the used ma-
chine would be the best
purchase available, Alderman
Logsdon voiced disapproval of
making a purchase of that
size without other bids.
In a motion the city
administrator was appointed
purchasing agent for the
council to seek other bids and
purchase the sewer machine
from the lowest bidder.
In other business, the
Christian Women's Fellowship
The general meeting of the

served as hostess for the

Mrs. Leland Beck, vice
president, presided at the
meeting. Mrs. Thomas Shrout
introduced the first program
in the general study, "Free to
Choose," and brought out that
every aspect of life involves
choices. Back of every choice,
no matter how small or
seemingly insignificant, is a
basic value. Growth .and
change come when we consid-
er our values and behavior
and then consciously make a
decision for change. This is a
precious freedom and respon-
sibility to be highly treasured.
Mrs. Delmar Walker con-
tinued the theme of freedom
to choose as she led the
worship service.

We wish to thank our
friends, relatives and neigh-
hers for the kindness and
sympathy extended to us at
the illness and death of our
father, grandfather and broth-
er, James W. (Bill) Hicks.
Also our sincere thanks for
the beautiful floral tributes
and memorial offerings.

the council voted to provide
paving to the sidewalk on
Fifth Street at the west side of

condemnation notice on the
former Capps store building
that was destroyed by fire
earlier this year. Prior to the
vote, City Attorney Smith
reported on the results of
communication with the
Capps' attorney on the reason
for the delay in the demolition
of the store building.
Smith told the board the
Capps attorney indicated the
problem was in reaching a
settlement with an insurance
company on material that is
stored in the building.
Following the vote on
formal condemnation, Alder-
man Wilson wished to indicate
in the minutes of the meeting
the fact the condemnation was
issued in hopes of aiding in
the insurance settlement and
not as a harrassment to the
owners of the property.
Following the regular ses-
sion, the council met in closed
caucus.
All members of the council
were present, in addition city
judge Verlin Wilson was
present.

CARD OF THANKS
We wish to thank our
friends, relatives and neigh-
hers for the kindness and
sympathy extended to us at
the illness and death of our
father, grandfather and broth-
er, James W. (Bill) Hicks.
Also our sincere thanks for
the beautiful floral tributes
and memorial offerings.
The Family
council turned down a request
for a street light on Janmar
Drive by Ernest Baker. Also
the council voted to provide
paving to the sidewalk on
Fifth Street at the west side of
the new Western Auto Store.
The council voted official
condemnation notice on the
former Capps store building
that was destroyed by fire
earlier this year. Prior to the
vote, City Attorney Smith
reported on the results of
communication with the
Capps' attorney on the reason
for the delay in the demolition
of the store building.
Smith told the board the
Capps attorney indicated the
problem was in reaching a
settlement with an insurance
company on material that is
stored in the building.
Following the vote on
formal condemnation, Alder-
man Wilson wished to indicate
in the minutes of the meeting
the fact the condemnation was
issued in hopes of aiding in
the insurance settlement and
not as a harrassment to the
owners of the property.
Following the regular ses-
sion, the council met in closed
caucus.
All members of the council
were present, in addition city
judge Verlin Wilson was
present.
