OPP Constable Terry Boylan, right, a member of the Grand Bend detachment last summer, was honored
Tuesday night by the resort Chamber of Commerce for his heroic deed in attempting to save a Goderich
area man's life shortly before the end of the summer. Boylan dove into the cold, rough water in the
harbor in an effort to locate the man who had fallen off one of the barges, It took three dives before the
constable came up with the man, but the latter was later pronounced dead. C of C president Griff Thomas
is shown making the presentation, while to the left are Mrs. Thomas, the Hon. James Auld, Mrs. C. S.
MacNaughton and the Hon. C. S. MacNaughton. --T-A photo

Huron County Council made
several changes at the November
Session in connection with
matters pertaining to working
conditions of the county employ-
ees, with particular stress on
employee benefits. A general
meeting was held with various
department heads and chairman
of certain committees.
Highlighting the changes were
the following:
— In future, employees being
granted an extension beyond the
normal retirement age of 65,
will not receive any further sal-
ary increases above the salaries
which they were receiving at time
of reaching retirement. Exten-
sions will continue to be allowed
if the committee concerned
deems it advisable, but salary
employee is receiving at re-
tirement remains constant during
the extension period.
— There will be ten statutory
holidays for all county employees,
and if a statutory holiday falls
on a Saturday or Sunday, it is
to be taken on the next working
day or at the discretion of the
department head. These statut-
ory holidays are: New Year's
Day, Good Friday, May 24, July
1, Civic Holiday, Labour Day,
Thanksgiving Day, November 11,
Christmas and Boxing Day.
— Mileage paid to county em-
ployees is to be at the discre-
tion cz the committee or board
concerned, but the rate is not
to exceed ten cents per mile.
— Sick leave money paid to
an employee shall be calculated
on basis of 260 days per annum.
— In event of death of an
employee, his estate will be paid
two weeks' salary from date of
death.
— An employee called for jury

driv ing safe riving
Every Every 100 minutes, every day,
in Canada, a human life is snuff-
ed out in road traffic. It is not
a dignified death. It could have
been avoided. The victim did not
expect to die.
Every day in Canada more than
400 men, women and children
are plunged into agonies of mind
and body in road traffic. Many
are permanently disabled. They
did not expect to be hurt.
Most of them lay on unfriendly
ground as strangers stared at
them while they waited for as-
sistance. It could have been
avoided.
A human being is no match for
3,000 pounds of racing steel and
glass yet every day hundreds of
humans challenge these speed-
ing behemoths to duels the hu-
mans cannot win.
The only chance the human has
is to know how to recognize and
avoid these highway perils. It's
called defensive driving.
The 0.P. P. urges every motor-
ist to practice defensive driving
during Safe-Driving Week — Dec.
1 to 7, so they will drive with
more confidence and security
the rest of the year.
Grant Amos, returning as
Reeve of McGillivray along with
his council for another year re-
ported on some of the activities
of Middlesex county council in
1966 at Friday's nomination
meeting.
The McGillivray reeve was a
Member of the agriculture and
assessment committees and the
Middlesex Planning Board. He
reported this was the first year
of the county assessment system
and the township's assessment
was increased by $75,000,
In regard to assessment, the
county is putting pressure on Mc-
Gillivray township to pass a
building by-law and begin issu-
ing building permits. From the
record of building permits, the
assessment commission can keep
a closer eye on new buildings and
when they become assessable.
Amos also reported extensive
building plans by the county. A
new library building is being
constructed at Arva at a cost
of $210,000 and a structure to
house the new county health unit
is being planned. The site of the
health unit has not as yet been
decided. The county property at
A r v a or a location near the
Strathroy hospital are being con-
sidered.
If the Strathroy site is chosen
a substantial government grant
will be received.
A perennial questioner at Mc-
Gillivray meetings, Walter
Grieves asked the reeve if the
additional assessment in 1966
would lower the taxes, "or have
you already figured out ways
to spend the extra money?"
Councillor Leslie Morley com-
pared the 1966 township tax rate
to the previous year,
The township levy is exactly
the same as in 1965, Qn an aver-
age 100 acre farm with an assess-
ment of $5,000 the taxes amount
to $267,50,
There are several changes in
the total mill rate of 53,5 mills.
The increases come in a county
rise of 2 mills, .2 for the
township, .5 in the maintenance
rate for the North Middlesex
High School and 1.1 in deben-
ture charges for the McGillivray
central school.
These rises are offset by el-
imination of the 1965 central
school maintenance levy of 3.8
mills. In a later explanation,
members of the school board said
this levy was eliminated this year
to lower a surplus that has ac-
cumulated.
Reports on warble fly spraying
and calcium spreading was re-
ported b y Councillor George
Dixon. The calcium application
for 1966 cost the township
$3,178, a rise of about $200 from
the year before.
The gross cost of warble fly
spraying was down over $100
because of the carry over of
some powder from 1965. Due
to a change in provincial grants
for 1966 where only wages of the
inspectors are subsidized, the
net cost of spraying the town-
ship's cattle was $2,495.94.
In answer to a question, Reeve
Amos returned to reply that
more per flaked ton for calcium
was being paid in order ‘.o have
it all applied at one time.
Veteran Councillor Hen
Thompson informed the small
gathering of 42 ratepayers of
bridge construction during the
year. Three structures were built
to a total cost of $67,980.92.
As bridges are eligible for a
provincial subsidy of 80%, the
actual cost to McGillivray res-
idents was only $13,596.18.
Thompson commended the 1,,u-
can Junior Farmers for the inter-
est they are taking in restoring
a small cemetery on Highway 4,
north of Clandeboye.
The final member of council
to speak, Bryden Taylor, covered
matters concerning fire protec-
tion, Federation of Agriculture
and the proposed building by-law.
Taylor assured ratepayers that
when building regulations are
drawn up they will concur with the
policies set by the neighboring
townships of East and West Wil-
liams. "What we need is a good
nosey fellow to act as inspector",
he added.
NEW MAN
Members of the 1906 McGilli-
vray School Area board, Jack
Dorman, Roy Cunningham and
Ellison Whiting reported on
School business.
Dorman, chair man of the
board, who is retiring after five
years service, informed the gath-
ering that a 50-foot shallow Well
was dug on the school proper-
ty to bolster the existing water
Supply. Water is now being purnp-
ed from the deep well to the new
shallow installation and is free
of most of the effect of sulphur.
The new member of the school
board will be George Glendin-
ring, the only person nominated
for the vacant post.
Cunningham reported the
school at Ailsa Craig is being
continued. "A year ago I sug-
gested that we would close the
Craig school and add to the
Central school, but we changed
our minds, I now feel we did the
right thing as larger areas for
