WESTCOTT JEWELLER •PHONE 218 ONTARIO AMENDMENTS RASE COSTS IN HURON DEPARTMENTS — CLERK,: The financial statements show the revenue and expenditure for the period up to March 31, 1961 In reviewing these statements, there appears to be nothing unusual rel- ative to our expenditures; but, on the other hand, expenditures and revenue appear to be about nor- mal. There are, however, some amendments to the Public Schools Act and to the Ontario Hospital Services Commission Act . which will materially effect the over-all cost as far as the county is con- cerned. As far as school costs and a certain portion of the Ontario Hospital Commission Act are con- cerned, it will reflect in the cost of operation of your Children's Aid Society. Your local school board now has the opportunity of charg- ing fees to children who are not residents of the municipality and also there is no further free hos- pitalization coverage for wards of the Children's Aid Society. These changes will increase the cost of operations but at the moment the amount . is an unknown quantity. Apparently from the information we can gather it is optional whe- ther school boards charge a fee or not. There is one 'Very serious change in the Ontario Hospital Services Commission Act which affects the county directly in its operations. According to the Act, as of April I have been advised by the De - 12, 1960, any indigent patient in partment of Municipal Affairs that custodial care, in other words, one we will receive what is ednsidered who does not need full medical •as an unconditional grant of some treatment, will be the responsibil- $25,000 during the year 1960 to- ity "of the municipality and the wards indigent hospitalization costs.

G. ,Berry, Clerk -Treasurer. municipality in this case Is the County at the full hospital rate. Incidentally, indigent hospitalrates have risen; the local hospitals, in this area were receiving $4.50, the cost is now $6.75. Hospitals in the Toronto and London area were re- ceiving $6; the rate is now $9. It is apparent that there will be future budding of hospitals or ad- ditions thereto in the county in the next short time. This program will affect the county to a certain degree as in the past county cpun- cil have given grants and you have a by-law in effect at the present time in connection therewith. 1 - am concerned as to the amount of money that will be ' involved and which would take place in a rather short period of time. If we were burdened with this cost all inn,, one year, it would reflect considerably in the county rate and we must try to avoid this if at all possible. May I suggest that we give, con- sideration to setting up a reserve fund for this purpose after we have discussed the situation with the hospitals concerned. I feel that this would be a step in the right direction as we always wish to retain the best relationships pos- sible and working together in a program of this nature in my opin- ion will be mutually beneficial to all concerned. •VON.

RAIN- CAUSES SWING TO BEANS: • HUR.DN. ,ACREAGE 'UP 25% The spring grain erop appears to be away to -a better start in Huron County tlian in most. of the agri- cultural- /counties of Ontario, said Douglas Miles, agricultural repre- sentative for Huron, speaking on Thursday to Huron County Coun- cil. "We're in pretty good shape; as far as our spring grain is concern- ed, it looks pretty fair," he said. Mr. Miles estimated that the acre- age planted to oats and barley in Huron this year is about three per cent less than last year. A very large acreage has been put to white beans this spring, he reported. The first estimate, he said, was that the white bean acre -- age in the county is. 15 per cent greater than last year's, and fur- ther information suggests that it may be as much as 25 per cent greater. Ninety per cent 'Of this year's white bean planting, he noted, is with the new Sanilac va- riety, which was first introduced in test plots in Huron three years ago. It has the advantage over the previously popular Michelite variety, he said, that the lowest pods are carried higher abovethe ground, and there is less loss of crop by pods being trailed in the mud after heavy rain. Fertilizer reeom-mendations for farms in Huron are now being calculated- at the Department of Agriculture office in Clinton, in- stead of at the Ontario Agricultural College in Guelph, Mr. Miles re- ported. The soil samples still go to the Guelph laboratories for an- alysis, but the reports -come to Clin- ton, and the recommendations are worked out at Clinton. "We know a lot of our farmers, and in case, of doubt we can often check at the farm again, when we are work- ing out the best analysis for fer- tilizer." One of the problems that needs attention. in Huron agriculture, he said; is the mixing of breeds of swine. "We are getting a tremen- dous mongrelization in swine," be said. "They're using almost any kind of boar on a sow, and then expecting to get 'A' grades. These community sales are lending them- selves to :the sale ,of anything," Mr: Miles said he• did: not advo- cats a strict pure-bred program, but that he thought farmers should know what breeds they were mix- ing, • and what breed and type of boar they were using; 'The 4-H program in Huron will be about as large in total in 1960 as it was in 1959, ,said 'Mr. Miles, but there is a distinct swing from beef to dairy, , with more dairy calf clubs, and fewer beef calf chubs. , Seaforth Branch 156 of the Canadian Legion Ladies' Auxiliary DOMINION DAY PARTY to beheld in the New Legion Hall — SEAFORTH Friday, July First DANE AND.
