ILDING ...0me Councillors Claire Cede .....e.ettled To Prevent Shanty 'own Conditions Clinton Town Council Monday night again deferred implementation of a building code for the Town Planning Board despite continued objections from several councillors that such a code is needed immediately. Planning board members ob- jecting to the deferment claim- ed the building code bylaw — recommended more than four years ago by an official of the Ontario Department of Muni- oipal Affairs—was needed be- fore the Board can start or- ginizing and developing Clin- t Cril. The bylaw issue came close to -a show of hands, but after lengthy discussion councillors felt they should each have a copy of The National Building Code of Canada to study before voting on the issue at the next regular council meeting Aug- ust 10. Councillor Pleads The revised copy of the Na- tional Building Code of Can- ada is the set of bylaws the Planning Board seeks to have adopted by council. Pleading with councillors to expedite 'acceptance of the building code for Clinton, councillor Duff Thompson said "yOu must -give • the planning board a tool to work with. "This building code 'is simply a tool. This tool assures you that anything built here will conform with the National Housing Act or any ether set of .codes. It . is 'needed before builders, in Clinton can get any kind of federal or other mart- gages.. Shanty Town Ban "This building code contains no short cuts for anybody," councillor Thompson said. "It has -no. fine print, no loopholes . for fly-by-night contractors. It is simply something construc- tive and something that will make us proud of our town.. "The way things stand right now, Clinton could turn into a shanty town. There are no reg- ulations 'to prevent.. someone from building a shack on the main street." Reeve M. J. Agnew claimed- to .adopt as building code: for, Clinton "would be setting up a job for • - building inspector."-- He said such a man would have to be paid "anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000 a year." •• Set Example He said the towns of Gode- rich, Sea-forth, Exeer and Wingham "won't tough this idea (Continued on Page Eight) Fisherman wn r iel It is unlikely 'an inquest will be held into the drowning death of 51-year-old Goderich .fisherman Harvey who died Monday near Bayfield, ,Johnston • Huron Harvey, CroWn 'Attorney William Cochrane told the News-Record Wednesday. - It will be open to anyone wishing the test from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 10 p.m, On Monday,- July 20, the clin- ic will Move to Bayfiekl Town Hall, and the next day it will be held at Clinton RCAF Sta- tion in 'the Ritchie Building. The same hours apply. Simple Test The tuberculin test is a simple—and painless'—, means of determining -whether there are tuberculosis germs in the body. A harmless substance called tuberculin is injected into the skin, usually on the forearm where the results can easily be seen—if there are any. From two to four days later, the 'test is interpreted ,or "road". Few Reactions In the great majority of cases, nothing happens. This means there are no tuberculosis germs in the body and as long Rev. ROy C. Cook Rev. Roy C. Cook, son of Mr.' and Mrs. W. W. Cook, 126 Maple Skeet, Clinton, re- cently received his Doctor of Divinity Degree (Honoris Causa) at the convocation of MelVfaSter University. Mr. Cook was honored by the uni- versity on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the foutuling of the Baptist' Con- vention of Ontario and Rue- bee; Brusselt Nurse Tops Barbara Turnbull, of RR 2, Brussels, recently was present- ed a diploma and CdrigratUla- tions froni the Staff of Wing- horn and District Hospital for having the highest §oolasti9 standing in theory Mid clinical Work, as there are no TB germs, there will be no tuberculosis. • Simply the presence of TB germs in the body does not mean the person infected will contact TB. But a person who is positive to tuberculin should have a chest x-ray at once. If there is 'active TB it will be found arid treatment can • then be started, If—es is usually the case— there is no disease; a doctor should be consulted for advice about 'how often a check up is needed: Dangers Over 4 0 The Huron County Tuber- eulossis Association says every person should take the tuber- culin test •-unless he has been found to have a positive re- action and is undergoing treat- ment. The test is especially important for those persons over 40: The tuberculin tests have been held every four years in Huron County since 1952, and in 1960, an estimated 55 per cent of the county's population turned out for tests. Few were found to be TB carriers arid there are very few cases — less than 10 in the County. But officials of the associa- tion said it is never known . whether a new carrier might 'have moved to 'the area and be spreading the TB germs, Rye Comment Follows Instant Crop Of Barley GODERICH — Bob alishohn made only one comment re- cently when a truck spilled 10 tons of barley on his lawn af- ter a crash with a car: "I've been working all =m- iner trying to get a nice lawn— now it looks like I'll get a crop of barley."
