The Usborne reeve said there is still a lot of work to be done on the new structure, but when completed it will be a very creditable building to take care of the needs of the elderly folks of the county. Activities at the county mu- seum are moving along well with the new addition already filled and talk of more building ahead. Eth- erington said the old ladies' dresses are a main attraction at the Goderich museum. Although, all women like to wear new dress- es, they still have a fascination for the garb of their ancestors, he suggested. The Usborne reeve touched on the new county library system that has recently been approved. He mentioned that the Kirkton library, the only one in the town- ship was one of the first to ask to join the new set-up. Library services that in the past cost Usborne residents less than$100 per year could now be as high as half a mill. In return for this extra cost, township resid- ents will be able to draw on the county supply and also from a provincial source, if necessary. In his farewell talk, Ethering- ton paid tribute to a pair of Us- borne residents, Maurice Love and Larry Snider, for their un- tiring efforts at the recent Inter- national plowing match at Sea- forth. Later in the meeting, Love replied that despite the terrible weather conditions encountered, the finances were in surprising- ly good shape. He said the money borrowed from the county is be- ing paid back. WILL CONTINUE Former councillor Roy West- cott, assuming the township's chief magistrate after five years on council, congratulated Ether- ington on his fine leadership and said he would try and continue in the same path. Westcott covered the weed and brush control program and in- formed that a chain saw bad been purchased which would pay for itself. He went on to explain an often asked question pertaining to as- sessment and taxes. Taxes levied in any one year are based on the assessment that was put onprop- erty on buildings the year pre- vious. According to Westcott, Us- borne farmers took advantage of the tile drain loans that are available from the provincial treasury through the local muni- cipality to the amount of $28,000 in 1066. He added, ',this shows the trend in farming today where single loans as high as $8,000 are arranged as compared to average loans of $300 to $800 in the early years of the plan. He also mentioned the new regulations at the township dump where an attendant will be in charge of dumping at specified times, The remaining members of the 1966 council Ken Duncan, Lloyd Ferguson and Lloyd Smith ex- plained other operations of the township including snow removal, calcium spreading and bridge and road construction. BOARD SAME The five-man school board re- sponsible for operation of the Usborne Central school will re- main the same for the next year. Tom Hern, Bev Parsons and John Stewart were acclaimed for two years while Elston Lynn and Edwin Miller will be completing their second year of a similar two year term. Vern, the 1966 chairman said as late as ten days previous to the meeting he had intended on retiring, but couldn't find any- one to take his place. The chairman said that a be- ginners' class will be started at the school April 1, 1967 with the youngsters attending a full day thus eliminating transporta- tion problems. Hern added: "We set up com- mittees this year that did some of the work between meetings and allowed us to get home a little earlier from regular sessions." Another member of the board, John Stewart stated that local inspector W. J. Wilkinson has suggested the board should be thinking of a three-room ad- dition. Said Stewart: "We don't know why, we have to have the neces- sary enrollment to build and ours is down at least six from the start of the term already," Edwin Miller noted there is a possibility next year's gra d e eight class could be taking some shop and commercial classes at SHIMS. He also said, "both staff and parents are well satisfied with the results of our students attending Camp Sylvan." By MRS. FRED BOWDEN CENTRALIA The opening meeting of the United Church men's group of Centralia and Whalen for the winter term was held Friday evening in the Centralia church with a turkey dinner served by the United Church Women with over fiftly men in attendance.
