With Joe Daer on the CKNX
TV bowling series this Satur-
day night,
Daer, who started out sever-
al months ago by winning the
competition at the Clinton
Automatic Lanes among sever
al local bowlers, is featured in
the final, for. the Carling tro-
phy.
His competition in the Sat-
urday event will be Bill Cor-
bett, Owen Sound, and the
pair were filmed at the Walk-
erton Lanes last Saturday.
The pair bowled three games,
but only two will be shown on
TV, and Daer copped all three
with a sparkling effort of 780,
to beat his northern opponent
by close to 100 pins.
Although he _managed only
two strikes in the first game,
the local kegler added six
spares to come up with a nifty
326 performance.
This was 29 pins better than
Corbett, who managed seven
strikes and three spares in an
exciting exhibition by the two
top bowlers in the district. '
They both fell off slightly in
the final game as Daer came
in in front with 218, while the
Owen Sound man managed
only 199.
Daer had two strikes and

Set Rate
After a lengthy discussion,
council decided to set their
county rate at 13 mills and
the township rate at nine for
residential and 12 for commer-
cial.
This is a reduction of one
mill in the bounty rate, al-
though 'the rate for the town-
ship was set at the same fig-
ure as last year by county
council.
Main reason for the drop was
due to the fact council have
built up a surplus in past years
On their county rate and the
auditors suggested a drop of
two mills this year.
However, the surplus has
only been a book account and
the excess after the county
levy has been paid has been
used for general purposes.
County rate is set on the
previous year's assessment and
because the township's assess-
ment has been increasing an-
nually, the rate always brought
in more money than what they
had been levied.
It was jokingly pointed out
that it would look rather sus-
picious if Goderich Township
had a county rate two mills
lower than all other municip-
alities in view of the fact that
their reeve, Walter Forbes, is
warden of the county.
However ,this was the re-
commendation of the auditors
and was designed only to
straighten the book account,
as the difference would have
to be made up on the general
rate, meaning taxpayers would
still have to pay the same
amounts.
T h e auditors report also
shows the township with a
healthy surplus of $31,783.14,
but treasurer and tax collect-
or, H, B. Whitely, noted again
this was a surplus on paper
only.
When questioned by the reeve
he explained the township owed
bank loans of between $21,000
and $22,000.
He said the surplus figure
was correct, but it was actually
made up primarily of money
owing in back taxes and was
on the books, but not in the
bank.
For township and county
purposes, the residential rate
will be down one mill this year,
but the commercial will re-
main the same as it was in-
creased by one mill to 12 to
balance the one mill drop in
the count yrate.
The auditors had suggested
the commercial rate should be
three mills above the residen-
tial rate, as it is.
Fire Operator
After a lengthy discussion,
council agreed to ask John
Tyndall, grader operator, to
hand in his resignation to be
effective on May 15.
The decision arose following
an incident some time ago
when the employee was found
to be drinking on the job.
Only dissenting opinion was
expressed by councillor Jack
Yeo, who stated he was not in
favor of taking the action at
this late date. "It should have
been done on the spot or not at
all," he commented.
Council will advertise for a
replacement to begin work as
soon as possible after May 15.
In other business, council:
Learned that there would be
no appeals against the Wise
Municipal Drain and decided to
call tenders for the work.
Made plans for the Huron
County Municipal Officers ban-
quet to be held in the Clinton
Legion Hall on Wednesday,
May 22, and paid the $20 mem-
bership to the group,
Agreed to pay the $10 mem-
bership to the Huron County
Road Superintendent's Associa-
tion,
Decided to pay their $380.10
levy to the Maitland Valley
Conservation Authority. They
had previously questioned 'the
figure, but their representative,
coundillor Harry Oakes, report-
ed there was a sizeable in-
crease in the group's budget
for this year. "I think they're
looking for big things up on
the top end of the stream this
year," he commented.,
Adjourned at 1:40 tom

W. A. Archibald, engineer,

ans for the diversion of the
Bayfield River to eliminate
hazardous curves in the road
west of Egmondville.

council decided to apply for
approval from the, department
of highways for the work.
In other business, council:

appeals on the Black Creek
Drain, but no appeals were re-
ceived.

sociation at a cost of $20.
Decided to take out an $80

that the drain had no respons-,
ibility for the bridge,
However, council decided --68
give the farmer $25 to help pay
the cost of getting longer sl-
eeves for the bridge so it will
reach across the drain.
Joe Hugill, Seaforth, met
with council and presented an
estimate on a proposed well
for fire protection purposes in
Egmondville.
The well had been requested
by members of the Seaforth
fire brigade and it is proposed
to put the well near the Un-
ited Church.
Hugill presented figures on
a 5,000-gallon tank which
would beplaced at a cost of
$903, "as long as we don't hit
quick-sand."
Council took no action on
the project.
Set Grader Rental
To comply with regulations
of the department of highways
council voted to increase the
rental rates on their grader to
$8.00. per hour.
This is almost doubled over
the former, rate charged for
the equipment.
However, due to the fact the
township receives a subsidy on
the equipment, they must con-
form to the figures suggested
by the department or pay the
difference if their rate is low-
er.
The charge worked out to
$7.60 per hour but council de-
cided to bring it to round fig-
ures to make it easier to fig-
ure out, noting that the dif-
ference was very nominal.
Alec Chesney, Huron Coun-
ty weed inspector, met with
council to discuss their plans
to spray the entire road sys-
tem in the township for weeds.
Council have accepted a ten-
der of $9.90 per mile for their
80 miles of road and this has
been approved by the depart-
ment of highways.
Chesney, who recently at-
tended a conference at Guelph,
told council to "take a pretty
hard look" at the material they
planned to use and also to take
care in the timing of the job.
On learning they planned to
spray near the beginning of
June, Chesney reported this
was an ideal time.
Payments Slow
Concerned over the slow pay-
ment by farmers for their
warble fly spraying, council
discussed at considerable
length plans to speed up the
payment.
They suggested putting the
arrears on the taxes, but later
decided to leave it is it was
for this year,
Councillor Art Varley point-
ed out it was costing the twp.
a considerable amount to col-
lect the fees because they had
to pay the ispector $1.00 per
hour and 10 cents per Mile,
while he was trying to collect
the bills.
It was reported that pay-
ments were slower than norm-
al this year.
A brief discussion .was held
on the advisability of putting
the warble fly spraying on the
general rate, to be shared by
all taxpayers in the township.
The discussion was opened
by reeve Thompson, but it was
pointed out this was unfair for
those who did not haye cattle.
However, he noted that
many things were unfair, as
rural residents had to pay for
part of the street lighting in
Brucefield. He also gave other
examples.
However, no action Was tak-
en on the proposal. He noted
he was not much in favour
himself, but said he had prom-
ised some ratepayers he would
open a discussion on the mat-
ter.
Council learned also they
would possibly have some prob-
lems regarding the VanEgmond
cairn near Egmondville that
was placed in memory of the
founder of Seaforth.
One woman in the village
has been cutting the grass and
caring for the flowers for some
time and has been putting in
her bill for the work. Last
year she charged $15.
A letter was received from
another female resident, a Mrs.
Collings, who said she would
do the work free of charge.
After considerable discussion
council decided to tell the pres-
ent keeper, a Mrs. Wilson, that
she could keep the job only if
