Though a good turnout of elec- tors was present at the nomination meeting for Goderich Township Officials last Friday, and a good slate was presented for all of the offices, another noinination meet- ing will be needed. Bad weather on Saturday prevented several of the men who would have qualified for school trustee from making the trip to the clerk's office and signing the proper papers, A special meeting of council was called yesterday to decide on the date for the second nomination day. It was set for Monday, Dec- ember 15 at the Township Gar- age immediately before the regu- lar meeting, Three men qualified for the pos- ition of reeve, and the three-way battle will take place at the polls in the township on Monday.

Trewartha, an ex- reeve of the township, and now deputy reeve of Clinton was chair- man of the meeting.

Deeves stated his feeling that 160 beds in the county home would be enough, and if more were need- ed in ten years, they could be built then. Concerning the county farm he stated that the agricul- tural committee of the county, of which he was a member had been Planning with the Soil and Crop Improvement Association to make use of a. ten acre plot on the farm for long term test plots. Produce from these plots would go to the home. He noted that fox bounty was now $4 each, with the government paying half, and the county pay- ing the other half. He congratulated the two boys who earned agricultural scholar- ships in the township this year. He reported that the county had put forward a resolution asking for a province-wide uniform time change. He predicted that the coming hospital school for retard- ed children would employ about 750 to 1,000 people, and the school would prove a considerable outlet for farm produce locally. Reeve Deeves noted that the new bridge promised by the pro- vince on Highway 21 at Goderich would relieve the bottleneck on highway traffic in that area. In closing he said he had missed only one meeting in the eight years he had served the township, and said he intended to stand for reeve again, Walter J. Forbes reviewed the mg the last Winter, when the grad- er operator who had worked with the equipment for the pa.st ten difficulties the township had dur- ri e- ect ete Prior to Wedding Saturday, Nov. 29 the second floor of the old part of the home, "In case of a fire, they couldn't be in a worse place. Also they're on the north side, and it's not warm enough for them." Mr, Trewartha said the manager should not have the best part of the home - now occupying the ap- artment at the front of the home, Also he stated his belief that the county farm should be sold, and the profit be put into increasing the size of the home itself. Reeve Sohn Deeves reported on the road work done during the year, and thanked those who back- ed him up at county council with a petition asking for the Cut Line to be finished. Next year's pro- ject is to have work begun on the Varna road, and he outlined work done to have the old piece of road which once led from Clinton to Highway 21, put into shape by the province. This winding strip of road was turned back to the town- ship when the county changed the route to a straight access to the Blue Water a few years ago. He told of co-operation received from Charles MacNaughton, MPP for Huron in this regard, and stated that the job would be done prop- erly, probably costing $20,000 to complete, years had resigned, Considerable expense was incurred in grader repairs. He mentioned work done at the railway crossing on the fourth concession and on the Ben- miller sideroad; he noted the two bridges built on the 16th, and the Maitland concession, He reviewed the advantages of having a school area to include all the schools in the township. The Area requisition this year was 7% mills. If it had been an area con- sisting of all the schools, their requirement would have been only 6% mills, The government grant is only $300 for each school at present; but would be $500 each if all schools in the township were in. Despite the fact that the town- ship would save money if all the school sections took part in the area, Forbes said he was not in favour of forcing those sections Into the area that did not want to belong. Actually the difference in grant in the township was $3,200. Mr. Forbes has served four years on council; six years on the school area board; experienced on the Co-op Medical Association, and on ‘.he executive of the Huron Soil ind Crop Improvement Associa- tion, Clayton E, Laithwaite recalled that it was 13 years ago that he had first served in the township on the public school area board. He noted that the proposed hospi- tal-school would be a great thing for the township. Concerning the actual running for office, Mr. Laithwaite said that every time he had run for office, even though defeated, he had been a better man afterwards, because of the experience. An intensive traffic safety cam- paign stressing winter holiday haz- ards will be conducted during Dec- ember by the Ontario Department of Transport. The immediate goal of the campaign is to reduce traf- fic accidents during the Christmas and New Year's Holiday season, Many police departments have indicated they intend to step up their public education programs as well as increase their traffic law enforcement activities during this highly dangerous period. Their ef- forts will be strongly supported by a broad advertising and publicity program using every appropriate medium of public information in- cluding daily and weekly news- if a vote were taken in the town- papers, radio and TV stations, farm ship, the council would still beand foreign language publications, left to force those sections into I bus and street car cards, and out- the area.

COAST THROUGH WINTER WITH NEW 50 KOOLMOTOR 01 48-9-b ,o 1 MINTON NEWS-RECORD PAGE TI-1R1E4 Shower hostesses have honored the former Olive Gail Shearing, RN, whose marriage to James William Wild took place op Sat- urday, November 29. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs, C. Mitchell Shearing, of Clinton, and the groom is the son of Mr. P. Wild and the late Mrs. Wild, London. Mrs. Harold Lawson and her daughter Margaret, were hostesses at a kitchen shower of their home on King Street, Clinton. Mrs. Tom Mabee and Mrs, Roy Cran- dall were joint hostesses at a mis- cellaneous shower at the latter's home on Delevan Crescent, Till- sonburg, Miss Beverly Lewis, R.N., enter- tained at her home 17 Myrtle St., St. Thomas at "An Around the Clock" shower when the guests were members of the 1958 gradua- ting class of the St, Thomas Elgin General Hospital, Councillor K, C, Merner, stated that there was an 80 percent grant available on all culverts and brid- ges built. He noted that the two new men on the roads had been improving, but that their inexper- ience at first had probably cost the township money. He felt the roads program needed better sup- ervision, and a road superintend- ent who would take on an oper- ating job if needed. Merrier predicted a good assess- ment from the homes built to house employees at the new hos- pital school. He said the township needed more roads built out to the lake, but it seemed that when- ever a new road was built the resi- dents on the end of it had tried to keep the general public out. He said something would have to be done about this. Concerning the area, he said it was pretty hard for council to force the other four schools into it, if they didn't want it.
