James Hayter will hea Stephen Twp. council Bluewater refused C.L. Bruyere promotion Sg/LCdr J. C. Bruyere of Hull, P.Q., has just recently been pro- moted to his present rank, at RCAF Station Centralia. Sg/LC dr Bruyere holds two po- sitions at RCAF S t at 1 o n Cen- tralia, the Senior Medical Officer and the Officer Commanding the Medical Selection Unit. His medical training was com- pleted at the Ottawa University where upon he enlisted in the Royal Canadian Navy. He has served with various Air Force and Navy Units, including RCAF Station Holberg, B.C. and Squad- ron Medical Officer for the fourth Escort Squadron, based at Esqui- malt, B.C. He has been at RCAF Station Centralia since May of this year. Sg/LCdr Bruyere is married to the former Claire Gregoire of Ottawa. They and their two child- ren, Danielle and Marc, reside a at Huron Park, Centralia. James Hayter of pashwood is the new reeve for the Township of Stephen for 1966 replacing reeve and former warden of the county, Glenn Webb. Mr. Webb announced Monday at the annual nomination meeting that he is stepping out of politics. Reporting to a large crowd of ratepayers Mr. Webb indicated that the shortage of township funds has been replaced with the exception of the amount which the bonding company is respon- sible for. He said council is not In a position to make a statement at this time as investigations are still proceeding. Mr. Webb told the group that he has tried, since the shortage was discovered, to see how this could have been avoided. He said it is impossible for councillors to keep constant watch on a clerk- treasurer and pointed out that Mr. Haugh had the confidence of the entire community as well as council. If there is any blame to be attached to council, Mr. Webb asked that this be directed at himself as the head of the coun- cil. Mr. Webb classed Mr. Haugh as a good friend of his and point- ed to the work Mr. Haugh has done in the community, in sports and in the church. He said he did his work well and indicated he is of the belief that the trouble was caused by an illness not recog- nized by his friends, doctor or his wife. Going on to other matters Mr. Webb reported that Stephen Township will take over about a mile of road which was formerly looked after by the county. This is in line with changes which will transfer about 47 miles of county roads back to various townships. The road runs from Centralia to the south boundary. The county will continue winter maintenance on this road and before it is turned back to the township it will be hot paved. In regards to the Crediton Road, the Provincial Government is paying 100 percent of the cost of this work with the exception of the land aquisition costs and fences. On these items the Town- ship gets a 50 percent subsidy. Mr. Webb referred to changes in municipal government which will come in the years to come and stressed the need for strong candidates. A start in these changes will be the compulsory licencing of assessors next year. Mr. Webb spoke briefly of his year as warden of the county and the work accomplished. He pointed out that he had attended 300 meetings and expected the total would rise to 350 by the end of the year. He complimented the weekly newspapers of the county for their coverage of coun- ty council year end reports and suggested ratepayers could get all the information he had simply by reading their weekly paper. James Hayter, last year's de- puty reeve and representative to county council reported on his work with the health committee. On the local level he pointed out some of the problems which must be faced during the next year. He indicated the investiga- tion into the shortage of township funds must be completed and the township will have to find an as- sessor. With new regulations he suggested this will be difficult. He pointed out that the new cent- ral school which will be opened next year will increase the traf- fic of heavy buses on Township roads and called for an increase in spending to improve these. Stephen — Continued from front page those attending the annual nomi- nation meeting in Stephen Town- ship Monday afternoon. He in- formed the group that the RCAF dump at the east end of the town- ship will be closed to the public because people would not obey regulations. He said that despite requests farmers had continued to dump old wire at the dump which made problems for the bulldozer in attempting to cover this. Others, he said, have dump- ed dead animals at the dump, something the RCAF frown on. He added that he hoped the of- ficials would allow the Township to use this until a suitable al- ternate site can be acquired. Speaking of the work of the Ausable Conservation Authority of which he is a member he spoke of vandalism in the parks. He said an effort is made to keep these as nice as possible but vandals insist on breaking tables and damaging things. Mr. Hendrick questioned whether Stephen Township gets full value for the $2,800 cost per year from the authority. He said that although there was quite a bit of land purchased for re- forestation a few years ago, the total purchased recently is much lower. He cited as reasons the fact that there is not as much land available of the type which the authority purchased in past years. Many farmers, he said, have discovered that through the use of tile drains crops can be grown on land of this type. In addition,he said, land which used to sell for $18 to $20 an acre now sells for a higher price. The cost of construction has risen so high that it is almost impossible for the authority to construct the Parkhill dam un- less there is more help granted by the senior levels of govern- ment. He stated that the residents of the Ausable Authority pay a higher share per capita than do residents of other areas because there are no large cities or towns to draw money from. Councillor Joseph Dietrich ex- pressed the hope that Stephen Township gets some benefit from the new Lake Huron Pipe Line which is presently under con- struction. He told ratepayers that the heavy trucks at the north end of the Township are hurting the roads. He commented further that some of the land where they have been working looks pretty sick. He added that he has found the contractors more than willing to repair any damage to land. Tile drain loans are being used more in the township, councillor Cecil Desjardine reported. Of the $84,300 issued some $67,455 are still outstanding. Approximately 100,000 Ontario hunters are graduates of the Hunter Safety Training Course. Panic is the greatest enemy of persons lost in the woods. A clear head and a good compass have helped many "lost" sports- men back to camp.

Lawrence Mason, who received an acclamation to the PUC, prais- ed the new working manager of Grand Bend's Public Utilities, Glenn Manley. He was backed up by PUC chairman Cam Chapman who said in his report that the utility was "progressing nicely".

She made special mention of the centennial project and council's interest in "green areas". Mrs. DesJardins also praised council for its handling of policing in the village for the year ending.

It had been sup- ported by a four-man delegation earlier in the session, and was supported in the vote by Reeves John 11. Corbett, of Hay; Archie Etherington, Usborne, and Milton Oesch of Zurich, also deputy reeve Delbert Geiger of Hay, Reeve Reg. Jewell, Goderich, chairman of the finance com- mittee, which reported adverse- ly, said the members had met that morning and "the feeling was that we should not get in- volved in any further kinds of enterprise. The county is con- tributing to five hospitals. An- other reason was that if he did get into this, it would mean a two-mill increase". Deputy reeve Geiger: "Do the committee members not feel that this at a later date could be quite a saving in X number of dollars at our county home. I would like a recorded vote, to see how many councillors are in favor of giving some support to a home such as this." Reeve Corbett: "I think this Is a great help to the county. It is situated in a very good place, and great credit goes to those men around Zurich who have given their time and gone ahead with this." Reeve J. P. Gandon, Exeter: "It may be that the men who have inaugurated this have done a fine thing for their community, but this county is already involved in the field of providing homes for senior citizens., and the amount involved here would go a long way toward providing fa- cilities under control of the county, The other thing we had to face was that if we set a precedent here, any community, any community in this county could form such a home and would expect and deserve the same consideration, This could create a problem so far-reaching I do not think the finances of the county could cope with it." Reeve Wilmer Hardy, Col- borne: "Perhaps in a year or two a smaller amount could be provided by the county for a number of these homes," The report of the finance com- mittee, duly adopted, provided for a grant of $93,000 to the building fund of Alexandra and Marine General HOSpital, God- erich. This is based pn 46 beds, and will be paid "as funds are available," The Goderich board plans to demolish the old part of the hospital, the fermer M. C. Cameron residence, and re- build. County council appointments to district secondary schools are the same as last year. Get your BAHAMAS DRAW TICKETS from us 391 Main S.
