This is revealed in the brief recently submitted to the Royal Commission on Health Services by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario and the Ontario Dental. Association. Huron, with a population of 48,882, has only 12 dentists with- in its borders, giving it a ratio of one dental surgeon to every 4,074 persons. This is almost double the On- tario average of one dentist for every 2,396 persons. Here are some other compari- sons: Middlesex 1/2,316 Perth 1/3,320 Bruce 1/3,449 Grey 1/3,290 Lambton 1/3,507 York County 1/1,641. Muskoka . 1/1,869 The brief suggests that a ra- tio of one doctor to every 1,600 persons is considered ideal. To reach this standard, Huron would need to increase the num- ber of its dentists by 2k,i times to give it a total of 30. In an effort to overcome this serious shortage of dental serv- ice throughout the rural sec- tions of the province, the pro- fession advocates a number of concrete steps. Special to The T-A Huron County stands out as a strong market, with a buy- ing power that is better than average. The finding is based on an economic survey covering the past year's business activity in communities throughout Cana- da and the United States, Despite the fact that the two Little damage. to PM cottage Ontario Premier John Ro- berts will have first-hand in- formation that the Grand Bend Volunteer Fire Brigade is among the fastest throughout his province. On Monday, the local brigade answered a call at the Roberts' cottage in Oakwood and it took them only four minutes to get there from the time the call went in. The fire broke out in a dryer in the basement being used by Mrs. Roharts shortly before midnight. She reported to Fire Chief Lawrence Mason that she smelled smoke in the cottage, but believed it was coming from the fireplace which was burning at the Lime, and didn't pay too much attention. However, it became worse and when she went to the cellar, found it full of smoke. The local brigade arrived on the scene and extinguished the blaze in the dryer, which had apparently brdken out due a. short in the wiring. The clothes in the dryer were taken out and tossed in a laundry basin where they were soaked and the fire was put out in the dryer, but not before the machine was ruin- ed. "You're as fast as the city fire brigades," Mrs. Robarts informed Mason after the fire, The. Premier was not home at the time, having returned to Toronto on business shortly after supper. Drive-in church reunion scene The remarkable Sunday Drive-In Gospel Services at the Starlight Theatre near Shipka, which are drawing bigger crowds every week, was the scene of an unexpected reunion Sunday. Rev. Clinton trittain, new minister at Grand Bend VC, took part in the gospel service for the first time. It was not only a new experience for him but it also provided him with the pleasure of meeting a friend he hadn't seen in Years , The friend was a member of the Presbyterian Four, a sing- ing group front Ingersoll. The last time the men had met was in Capreol, north of Sudbury, years ago. One of the largest drive.in services ever Sunday drew 142 cars, and heard the message of Rev. M. Cornelius, of Chat- ham, and the MacDonald 13r0- thers of Ailsa Craig. This was an all Canadian service.

The copyrighted report, which gives figures on income and spending, community by com- munity, has just been released by Sales Management. It shows that income in Huron County was high in the year. After payment of per- sonal taxes, there was left a net of $65,904,000. How much this amounted to, at the family level, was deter- mined by dividing the income by the number of households. The average per household was $4,453, a gain over the pre- vious year's $4,284. What was done with all this money? For several months local consumers continued spending cautiously, as they had during the depression. Then, as the signs of the up- turn became more convincing, they began -to loosen up. To- ward the end of the year, when the economy was again in full swing, they were spend- ing freely. The vigor of this, late wave of buying turned the year into a good one for Huron County's retail stores. Their sales vol- ume reached $60,669,000, ex- ceeding the 1960 total of $59,- 463,000. The rise, 2.0 percent, com- pares with a 1.1 percent rise in the Province of Ontario. The survey gives each com- munity a rating as to market strength, taking into account such factors as income, retail sales and population. The com- posite figure is called its "In- dex of buying power." Issue warning about damage Police this week warned area youth that charges will be laid over damage to school proper. ty "We'll prosecute any children found throwing stones or firing air rifles at any property," stated PC C. E Gibbons, Exeter detachment OPP, PC Gibbons said Wednesday all windows had been smashed on the front of the Usborne school house south of the Mor- rison darn, on concession three. Exeter authorities reported this week that screens at the local public school had been cut by persons with knives. Huron County is given an in- dex rating of .2971, which means that it is considered capable of producing that per- centage of Canada's total re- tail business. Since more than that was done last year, .3657 percent, it is apparent that some, of the local business comes from out- side the county. Economists are predicting that consumers in Canada and the United States will continue spending at their present rates for some months to come, bar- ring unforeseen events on the international front and instabil- ity at home.

"We are indeed grateful to Mr. Francis for giving 'Ali Ja this wonderful gift of hope and help," declared Miss Gloria G.

An official of the board told The Times-Advocate Wednes- day the matter "was being held in reserve for consideration". There was no indication as to when the decision would be given. The hearing, brought about by the appeals of Bosanquet and Stephen townships for lower assessments toward the cost of the clam, was completed here Friday, May 25, after a three- day session following an ad- journment in April. An Ontario Dep't of High- ways official said Wednesday negotiations are "coming along very well" toward the appoint- ment of a contractor to com- plete construction work on No. 4 highway near Centralia, and Clandeboye. He indicated an announce- ment would be made "by early next week" of an award for the completion of the contracts on which Langton Contracting Co. Lt., Leamington, was working before it went bankrupt. The official said negotiations were taking place among the department, the bonding com- pany and contractors. Engineer B, M. Ross, Gode- rich, said Wednesday he ex- pects to complete plans for Exeter's sewerage program by the end of the week. They will be forwarded to the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission on Monday, he indi- cated. The engineer said he did not know how much longer after that it would take before tend- ers for construction would be called, Ile indicated the OWRC review of the plans would re- quire six weeks to two months but that tenders may be called before the review is com pleted. Mr. Rons said he had been held up by easement negotia- tions in completing the plans for the system.

Larry Snider piloted the group, which included Dick Jermyn, Jim Bearss, Gerald Frout and Don Bell. It was early in 1960 that the federal government agreed to share in the cost of the darn and it was expected at that time that work would proceed the follow- ing winter, The project, how- ever, has been frustrated with delays evpr since. Last estimate of cost for the d; in was set at $1,200,000, of which the federal and provin- cial governments would share 75%, the department of high- ways would pay a portion in consideration of tbe provision for a bridge over the river, and the remainder would be charged to the 23 municipalities in the watershed, The bonding company is re- sponsible for hiring a. new con- tractor to complete the con- tracts but it was doing so in co-operation with the depart- ment. "It will be a mutual award," the spokesman said. The Langton firm declared bankruptcy two weeks ago with only about 25% of its work on No. 4 completed, Work had barely started on the revision of the Clandeboye curve, a section of about seven- tenth of a mile. The portion of No. 4 near Centralia had been built up with soil in prepara- tion for widening.

It primarily is attempting to encourage rural young people to enter the dental profession, Its members are speaking to high school students, as Dr* John Corbett, town, did to SH. DIIS pupils recently during a guidance series, outlining the need for more dentists. Where other factors are equal, rural students get priority for entrance to dental college studies be. cause it has been shown that these students are more apt to return to rural areas to prac- tice than are city candidates. Urges fluoridation Among a number of recom- mendations made in the report is one urging mandatory fluori- dation of communal water sup- plies in Ontario, a bold sugges- tion in view of the current con- troversies. However, the report states: Get ready for election Returning officer Russell Bol- ton of Seaforth has been in• structed by Ottawa to start preparing for another federal election some time after Sep- tember 15. Chief Electoral Officer N. Castonguay said in a letter to returning officers that because the Progressive Conservative Government does not have a working majority in the House of Commons. he wants to be ready for an election on 24 hours notice after September 15, The. letter from Mr. Caston- guay stated that no returning officer would be allowed to resign after July 15 except by medical certificate. First ship- ments of new election mater- ials will start on about that date, he said. The returning officer's first task is. revision of riding sub- divisions. The letter from Mr. ('astonguay suggested that ing subdivisions be eat down to 300 names, a reduction front the 350 names of the last election. Mr. and Mrs.. Belton are en a trip to England. They expect to return in several weeks. Their son, Arthur Bolton, for- mer assistant agricultural rep- representative for Huron, said deadline for revision of sub- division polls was September 15.
