The depart ment doesn’t expect a director to do manual labor. Councillor Dinney argued the town underwrite the park opera tion because of its value in the recreation program. Communi ty park, he argued, is far more beneficial to the* town than devel oping the flats of the river into a scenic park, a project which is beipg considered by council. He agreed the river park was a worthwhile • project but he didn’t think it was as important as community park, Councillor Bailey returned to the arena operation: “Is it not possible to make the arena pay of itself?” He argued that if the board received only so money, then it should that much and no more. “Let Her Go Bankrupt” Deputy-Reeve Mawhinney. sug gested the arena be closed if it | can’t pay its own way. “If she’s : going to go bankrupt, ’let her. go I bankrupt.” j Councillor Dinney replied the town had invested too much money in the arena to close it down. Besides, he said, it was providing valuable recreation for the children of the town. Mayor Pooley predicted there would be greater interest in ‘hockey during the next .few years and that the arena would benefit from larger crowds. But he .thought there should be more emphasis on local teams and players. “We can’t afford the hockey teams we’ve had lately,” ,he said. Councillor Dinney said the hockey teqm had been qne of the arena’s biggest money makers and that it hadn’t cost the town a cent out.of pubic funds. Councillor Taylor said the town’s contribution to the arena isn’t big compared to what other towns are paying.* Councillor Musser: see how we can let go.” - ’ ' .Councillor Dinney: a $100,000 investment we can’t let it go to pot. ’ Councillor* Alvin- Pym moved that the grant be $1,000, and Councilor Bailey seconded it.

Butler willingly got in the vehicle and made no effort to escape when a call was placed to OPP Constable John Forde of Exeter. Constable Forde recognized the unkept youth as the missing Butler boy. “His condition was pitiful, his clothes were in rags and he was covered with dirt,” Constable Forde said. The officer turned the youth ovex* to Constable Harold Vogt, of the Ontario Provincial Police at Markdale, who took him home to his parepts. All the time he had been “liv ing off the land.” Farmers and townspeople from Durnham to Tara and south to Chcsley had caught sight of him at various times, tramping fields, highways and couptry roads. Each time they tried to approach him, he fled to the woods. Intensive police hunts centred in the Walkerton, Tara, Chcsley and Bcntinck Township areas failed to turn up a trace of him. Only once was lie known to have purchased food—a couple of chocolate bars and a package of gum—in a snack bar in Tara. He was last seen on Labor Day near Walkerton. Topics From Whalen By MRS. F.

Others also get paid, including those who work in iron mines, coal mines, limestone quarries, on railways, steamships, motor trucks, in sales offices, and elsewhere. In fact, all prices are mostly wages and salaries. So there is an upward pressure on prices with every increase in wages, though investment in better equipment does help to absorb such wage increases, No one can afford to be indifferent to rising indust- . rial wage costs, for these tend to lead to higher prices, As users of steel in many forms, all farmers in particular are adversely affected when higher city wages raise production costs and selling prices.

At a meeting of the Goderich Town Council he gave 'his views On the Canada Temperance Act. The possibility of getting a- vole , in Goderich or Huron County I with a view to repeal, was under’ discussion. “My Opinion”, said the Reeve, “is that if the town voted, it would go wet, but if the whole County voted it would stay dry, aS it is now. Of course”, he add ed, “that’s not very dry.” Reeve Graham is probably correct in Itis prediction, but his laugh line is ridiculous. Actually Huron County is very dry com pared with iriost if not all the other Counties in Ontario. The proof lies in Alcoholics Statistics rfelehsed by the Alcoholism Re search Foundation of Ontario not long since. In a list of seven counties given, Middlesex leads with 3,160 alcoholics ppr- 100,000 I of population. Huron County is t lowest with 750 alcoholics per 100.000. “ Only Huron, of the i counties listed, is under the I C.T.A. Far less liquor flows here, for we haVe ho legalized; liquor outlets.
