While digging back of he cel- lar at G. M. Meld's recently, an old coin was dug up bearing on one side the inscription, "Wel- lington, Waterloo, 1815," and on, the other side an engraving of a ship. What is of more local in- terest, however, is another in- scription scratched on surface of the coin, as follows; "H. Ran- sford bitilt this house in 1840." The Clinton team went up to Wingham Friday evening last and succeeded in winning over the team in that town to the tune of 9 to 3. It was a good game, well-played on both sides. Everyone should make pre- parations to. see as much of the sun's eclipse on Saturday morn- ing as possible. Not for over 100 years, since 1806, 'have the re- sidents of Ontario had an op- portunity of seeing a total eclipse of the sun, and not un- til 2144 will Ontario have an- other such opportunity. The Clinton Club sent out invitations to a euchre in the rooms over the Molsons Bank yesterday evening, when a large number attended and a very pleasant evening was spent. 0 "If all printers were deter- mined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend no one, there would be very lit- tle printed . .

Jervis-68 Albert St. Clinton-482-9390 2tfb ONE OF THE major problems fac- ing Huron County Council when it meets next week will be a decision con- cerning additional accommodation to serve Huron senior citizens, In Hurenview, the county has in Tuckersmith Township an institution which compares favorably with any of its kind in Ontario, Experts regard it as being superior to 'many. In terms of both .managernent and. physical appointments it is an establish- ment of Which the reeves and officials who planned it .and the citizens of Huron who made it possible, may be justly proud, But Huronview is filled to capacity, and there is a long list of people who wish to be accommodated. Many of them are quite prepared to pay the per diem rate set by the county. The problem of increasing the accommodation is not as simple as it appears. The department of govern- ment which administers such matters and approves grants representing half the cost of construction, says the pre, sent plant is as large as can be properly administered. If additional accommoda- tion is to be provided, it must be an- other administrativity self-contained establishment. The Huronview commit- tee has gone along with this and pro- poses a new unit be erected in the im- mediate area of the present institution on No. 4 Highway. There is a strong area of opinion that feels that the concentration of senior citizens accommodation in one location creates a hardship in terms of the average resident. It is suggested that satelite Huronview at other loca- tions would avoid the necessity of resi- dents being torn from the .area in the county with which they are familiar, and that if such satelites were located at the north and south of the county a majority of those making use of the facilities would be able to remain nearer their families. Another proposal which has been advanced would result in smaller units being established in each of the four county towns not now directly served. With units at Seaforth, Exeter, Gode- rich and Wingham, existing hospital facilities would be complemented and, elderly persons requiring accommoda- tion, such as 1-11,1renVieW can provide, could, be looked after without leaving their neighborhood. That there are compelling reasons suggesting the wisdom of a second look before any final 'decision is taken con- cerning Huronview is pointed ant by the Witigham .Advance-Times in these words "There are, no doubt, some valid reasons for considering further 004.- struction at the. Clinton location, but full examination of all the factors in- volved will provide a great Many sound reasons for establishing a completely Separate home at another' site. "Most important is the advice to the committee from the Department of Welfare that any further addition, even though located at Clinton, should be dis, tinct and separate from the present institution, which is now close to maxi- mum size for efficiency of operation, This being the case, there is little in the way of financial economy to. be gained by building there. "The most compelling reason, how- ever, for selecting a second site, is pure- ly humanitarian. With a drastic short- age of reliable nursing homes in this area, and in a county where the .popu- laden of older people is much above the national average, a very high per- centage of our aging persons will be cared for in the county homes (includ- ing, not too many years hence, we who are now in our middle years), . "The facts of geography and wea- ther make it obvious that homes for the aged should be located as close as economically possible to the families of those who require such services." Recent studies' have indicated Hur- on has a greater proportion of citizens of advanced age than other, Ontario counties, and this undoubtedly is re- flected in the demands being made on Huronview. At the same time, perhaps this would be a good time for the county to review its entire policy covering the provision of accommodation for senior citizens, including the relation which rates being charged bear to the ability to pay. Such a study might suggest the wisdom of changes in the rate structure • which in turn could have a bearing on the demand for accommodation. — The Huron Expositor Page 2,---COnton News-Record,--.Thugs.., on, 31, 1905.
