A lengthy discussion took place at the meeting in regards to a Tues. till 9 p.m. Closed Wed. road program over the next few years. Deputy-reeve Delbert Geiger urged the members of council to consider a program which would allow for the paving of a few miles of road each year, until eventually the entire system would be completed. Each year the council is finding it more dif- ficult to obtain a suitable quality of gravel, and the feeling was that eventually this could be eliminat- ed. In the meantime the council agreed to call tenders for the supply and spreading of 18,000 cubic yards of gravel for this year. Tenders are to be in by January 31.

A committee from the local Board met with district high school inspector D. W. Scott last week to discuss the problem which was disclosed at the regu- lar meeting of the board last week. It is expected that meet- ings will be held with principals of the four schools, Exeter, Sea- forth, Goderich and Clinton and with the Advisory Vocational Committee in an effort to reach a settlement. A strict reading of the agree- ment between the boards calls for the SHDHS to send 15 percent of its students to Clinton during this year and next. Indications received by the board were to the effect that the Clinton Board intends to hold SHDHS to this agreement. The SHDHS board and their principal have been using a set of figures issued by the AVC but never formally approved by that body. These figures set the number of students to attend Clinton school at 113 students. Using 15 percent of actual school population for calculations would mean that SHDHS would be re- sponsible to send about 143 stu- dents to Clinton. As the Board has only been supplying 113 students this year it would mean that some 196 students would have to be sent next fall in order to balance the books. Failing this the board could face a whopping bill for the education of students not in attendance. The charge is calcu- lated at $300 per student per year. Bean survey Errors delay — Continued from front page area were requested to approve this addition. The Board further requested information as to the amount of forgiveness the SHDHS board will receive from the municipal works assistance program. The letter also requests confirmation that the SHDHS board has $17,650 on hand and would undertake to pay this out of current revenue. Acting mayor, Derry Boyle pointed out that it is imperative that immediate action be taken on this matter. The clerk was in- structed to write to find out whether the $46,000 forgiveness is still available on the Municipal Works Assistance Loan as well as complying with the other re- quests made in the letter. MARK 25 YEARS A surprise 25th wedding an- niversary party was held Satur- day evening for Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Spence of Metropolitan at the home of her brother Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Hern. Their best man Mr. Hern and bridesmaid Mrs. Wallace Becker (the former Helen Walper) of New Hamburg were also in attendance along with their own family Elaine & Gene Spence. Other guests were Mr. & Mrs. R. 0, Spence, Atwood, Mr. & Mrs. Jim Hamilton from Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. George Jaques & Peter Francis of Tavistock. Mr. and Mrs. Jim McFarland, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Spence, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Somerville, Mr. & Mrs. Bob Spence, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Spence, all of St. Marys.

The clerk was instructed to prepare the necessary bylaws governing the election proposals in time for council's next sitting on February 7. Bylaw 156, given public ap- proval at the polls in December, received the third and final read- ing at last Friday's meeting and is now official. The bylaw ex- tends the right to vote in muni- cipal elections to all British subjects aged 21 years who have lived in Grand Bend for at least one year immediately preceeding any election. Although the beach at Grand Bend is covered with snow and ice, council looked ahead to sum- mer and expressed its favour of two applications for life-guard positions. William Dinnin, Zur- ich, who has spent two years on the life-guarding staff (last year as chief) and Don Broad, Wind- sor, will be contacted by Clerk DesJardins. A third staff member is still to be retained. Clerk DesJardins will again be in charge of the duties of all life guards in the village em- ploy. REVIEW OLD TIMES At the historical research meeting of Clandeboye WI held at the home of Mrs. Alan Hill last Wednesday afternoon the roll call "A Pioneer Custom" brought many reminders of former times such as bread making, observ- ance of Sunday, soap making us- ing lye from wood ashes, making wool from sheep to garments, butter making and barn raisings. Mrs. David Henry reported on her visit to the Adelaide Hood- less homestead which has been bought by Women's Institutes and furnished as near the original as possible. The North Middlesex WI members sewed rags which were made into the carpet for the floor. Mrs. Rae Neil, historical re- search convener, gave a report on the Lewis cemetery original- ly on the corner of Highway 4 and County Road 24. Mrs. J. H. Paton gave the history of St. James Church. There were 12 members in attendance. Hostesses were Mrs. Arnold Lewis, Mrs. Arnold Blake and Mrs. Andy Carter. WITHIN BUDGET Council also took steps to stay within its budget with regards to grants to worthy organizations. Members were in agreement that some grant funds should be kept on hand until later in the year to insure that organizations deemed worthwhile by council might not be disappointed when financial aid was sought. In the past, the Grand Bend and Area Chamber of Commerce has received the largest portion of the grant fund which is based on one mill of the total assess- ment. Council indicated that if this particular grant was re- duced to some extent at the outset, the remaining money could be dispersed throughout the year as council saw fit. If at the end of the year there were still funds available, these could be granted to the Chamber or any other organization needing ad- ditional assistance. In other business, council voted to purchase 83 pieces of steel sheet piling at a cost of $100 per ton from Canada Dredge and Dock for use in the dock area. of the river; heard that Bosanquet Township has accepted its 40 pereent share of the cost to Grand Bend towards the Lamb- ton County Mutual Aid Fire Ra- dio System, By MRS.

The Honourable C. S. Mac- Naughton, in commenting on to- day's announcement by The Hon- ourable W. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture, that a compre- hensive research program into all phases of white bean produc- tion would be carried out in Huron County this year, stated: "I re- gard this as a very important step which will have great in- fluence on the future of the bean growing industry. I am particu- larly gratified, too, that this program will be undertaken in Huron County, the principal bean growing area in the Province. "As I made reference in my speech during the last session of the House, 'It is appropriate, I believe, for me to present certain views, because in the rid- ing of Huron, which I am proud and privileged to represent and which comprises the southern two-thirds of Huron County, the production of white beans con- stitutes one of the principal cash crops in this farming area of Ontario. In fact, it is safe to say, in the comparative sense, that Huron is now the largest produc- ing area for this important cash crop in Ontario, indeed in all C anad a. While production is spreading both north and east, the southern portion of Huron Would still account for the maj- or volume of production. It seems obvious that the present and fore- seeable future holds promise for greatly increased production po- tential. 'It occurs to me that with more aggressive pursuit of our en- deavours in this direction with some special field testing and subsequent selection and plant breeding, using our own facili- ties as a measure of further col- laboration in this field, much could be done to develop the po- tential of the iridustry. With to- day's announcement by the Min- ister of Agriculture, we now ap- pear to be on the threshold of exciting possibilities in terms of expanding our production areas'."

Councillors pointed out some of the problems which would be involved which would include in- creased noise and traffic round the hospital and the distance people would have to travel be- tween access streets trying to get from William Street to Main Street. It was suggested a stop light would have more advantages for the town. Members will study this proposal. The reeve and deputy reeve will vote according to their own judgement in regards to the se- lection of a warden for the county.
