MAUDE HENQEN Hensall council committees selected at initial meeting Reeve Oliver Jaques and his ensall council convened for the first meeting of the new year on anuary 6 when clerk -treasurer Earl Campbell administered the ath of office.. Rev, Harold Currie based his remarks on the parable of the talents and urged citizens to utilize their time and abilities for the betterment of the community. He noted that public apathy will certainly hasten the advent of regional government in Ontario. Committees for the year were named • including the property committee of Hein Rooseboom and Harold Knight; streets, John Baker and Leonard• Erb; industrial, Knight and Baker. Ausable River Conservation Authority representative is Lorne Hay. Rooseboom and Erb are council's appointments to the recreation, parks and community centre board. Other committee members are for 1969, Paul Neilands and Jack Henderson; 1969-70, Harry 'Page, Eric Mansfield and Anthony Charrette. The Library board consists of Mrs., Eileen Rannie and Mrs. Patricia Cook for 1969 and Mrs. Sarah Cook, Robert Raeburn and Mrs. Olive Kyle for 1969-70 At the regular meeting in the evening, the condition of the roads in Hensall was discussed at some length. Council reviewed the problem of short streets in the village which are not plowed open for residents. • E. R. Davis said, "These people have as much right, as anyone . else to get out." However, he did admit it was difficult to obtain service since the plow which operates in Hensall does so on a strictly part-time basis after county work is finished. Baker; chairman of the streets committee, agreed to try to reach some agreement with the snowplow operator regarding Hensall streets. Baker did indicate, however, he held little hope forcomplete satisfaction 'for all rtedple in d'Hensall and noted the situation is not too bad when there is not too much snow. "I guess Hensall streets aren't in much worse shape than streets in other towns," observed Knight who blamed the unusually heavy snowfall of the last week or so for the problem. Council did agree to hire a owblower to ease the situation n some Hensall sidewalks. A special meeting is expected hortly to discuss a request by E. R. Davis for a raise of $500 nnually from $4,200 to $4,700 plus $300 car allowance. As road foreman for the illage, Davis explained that his salary was considerably below alaries paid to men in similar ositions in other villages in this part of Ontario. Council will probably review 'the entire wage picture of all jvillage employees at the meeting for which no definite date was pet.

He asked. if a bylaw could be passed to prohibit snowmobiles in the village after a reasonable hour each night. - "Who's going to enforce that?" asked Reeve Jsques. It was. noted that householders who are annoyed by snowmobiles should get the licence numbers of the offenders and relay the information to the police. "That may be quite a job in your bare feet on a frosty night," chided Rooseboom. Council learned that the $31.84 received from the province as the village's share of fines collected in 1968 is to be returned to the office of the provincial treasurer, Members instructed clerk Campbell to inform the Ontario government of the costs involved to purchase, license and service the radar equipment .owned jointly by the village of Hensall and Zurich, It was noted that when provincial police come into the village to check for speeders, , they use the village's radar equipment. Councillor Baker suggested that if the province hopes to collect any profits made from speeding fines, it might . also want to pick up the tab for expenses to the village radar equipment — or provide provincially owned .devices, for police.

Other recollections include taking milk to •a cheese factory about a mile and a half east of the Hensall Union Cemetery, and of sowing grain by hand and thrashing it with a flail. Later, he says, reapers came into use for cutting grain, but it still was bound into, sheaves by hand.
