She added' that of course there were no plowed roads, nor snowplows in 1910. The trip from Egmondville along the snow-filled Mill Road was by horse and cutter, and there were lots of pitch-holes.

Dr. G. P. .A. Evans, MOH for Huron, admitted the budget called for (a considerable amount of money', but promiSed it' was *very good value for the money'. Stanley Township deputy. reeve Anson McKinley, objected to the way the budget was pre- sented. He noted he was unhappy to see that the council was com- mitted to a $50,000 expenditure over and above the budget. ' It was explained by Dr. Evans and by Clerk-Treasurer John Berry that the budget hadto be set up this way to satisfy offi- cials in the Provincial Depart- ment of Hearth. Berry said the budget really had three parts =• old pogram, committed prograni and new program, Former Warden James Hay:- ter questioned if the county was to employ a dentist, a' dental hygienist and 6 'dental nutie -rgs indicated in the budget. Hayter said it' 'was hig understanding that a nurse was hired to 'carry out the brush-in -program when the county was unable to obtain the services of a public health dentist. Dr; Evans told Reeve Hayter there was• stilt no assurance that the county would be able to secure-a dentist in 1970 although the picture seemed much brigh- ter this year with. regard to the supply, of 'dentists, 'The dental, nurse, he suggested, would be retained. 'Are We to haVe..both?' per- sisted Hayter. - McKillop Reeve Allan Camp- bell, 'Wondered if there was pro- vision under the dental program for the county health dentist to . repair the teeth of any childre Whose parents might not be able to easily afford the services of a dentist in regulOr practice. Dr. Evans told him the pub- lic health dentigt would' not do this work and said there,,were ways and means to secure as- sistance for youngsters who re- quire. dental or medical atten- tion. Hullett Reeve Hugh Flynn sug- gested that most Huron County residents took their children to a. dentist regularly and he could not see the real need of a total dental program' in Huron: Dr. Evans noted that proper dental care now would prevent dental problems in the future. The matter was turned back to committee for further study and possible elimination of some proposed programming.
