The chairman of the board of
directors of the Blue Water Rest
Home, Dr. C.J. Wallace told the
annual meeting last week that
there would be no increase in
the per diem rate for 1969.
"We are quite happy to make
this announcement," he said,
"especially in view of the fact
most private nursing homes have
had to raise their rates as high as
$12 per day."
The rate at Blue Water
remains at $6,50 per day, and
according to the home auditor,
John Laken of the firm
Richardson and Laken, this is
high enough to cover expenses
and meet mortgage payments.
In his remarks to the
members of the association, Dr.
Wallace also paid special tribute
to home superintendent Lance
Reed and his entire staff,
"Without this type of staff we
would not be able to operate so
efficiently," he concluded.
Secretary Gerald Gingerich
reported to the meeting that the
meetings of the board of
directors have been very well
attended to date.
-... „The., nominating, committee
consisting of Leroy Thiel, Dr,
W.B. Coxon, and Fred Haberer
presented their report, which
returned the entire slate of
directors to office for another
year. Along with Dr. Wallace and
Mr. Gingerich, the board is made
up of Leroy O'Brien, Ray
McKinnon, Ivan Kalbfleisch,
Charles Rau, Elgin McKinley,
Gordon Erb, J.W. Haberer, Don
Hendrick, John Corbett and
Orval Wassmann.
' Superintendent Reed told the
gathering that at the beginning
of 1968 the home had 55
residents, and at the present
time it is filled to capacity with
65. He added that the average
age of residents is 80.
He went on to point out that
at present there are 26 persons
employed at the home, with 23
of these on full-time staff. The
religious activities at the home
have been well organized under
the direction of Rev. A. C.
Blackwell, with clergymen from
Exeter, Hensall, Crediton,
Dashwood, Grand Bend and
Zurich,
Mr. Reed also pointed out
that the craft room has been
better organized during the past
year, and gave credit for this to
Miss Meda Surerus and ladies in
the auxiliary who have been
assisting her. He added that the
main addition to the home
facilities this year has been the
furnishing of a conference room
for the use of residents along
with their solicitor, doctor, or
No rise in per diem rates
at Blue Water Rest Home
clergymen, or anyone else they
wish to discuss private matters
with. The room was furnished
with money received from an
area lawyer as a gift from the
estate of one of the residents.
The superintendent
concluded his report by paying
special tribute to all the
members of his staff, along with
the board of directors and the
board of management.
Reporting for the Ladies
Auxiliary at the home, Mrs.
Gerald Gingerich said that there
has been much more interest
shown in the hobby room than
ever before. She added that
residents are starting to take
more interest in the activities
available to them such as
The Department of Lands
and Forests told Huron County
Council Yriday that an, open
deer season November 3, 4 and 5
in Huron was a "good idea".
The deer population is fairly
plentiful now and a deer season
would not do any great harm.
Council approved the
suggestion providing the
adjacent counties also have a

In other business, Mervyn
Cudmore, chairman of the
county planning committee
reported that consultants from
G. V. Kleinfeldt and Associates
Ltd. would be meeting with all
local municipal councils during
May,
"Here's your opportunity to
pose questions," said Cudmore.
The cost of the appraisal in
Huron will be $1 to $L25 per
capita spread over 18 to 24
months.
It is expected that the wage
agreement with the Service
Employees Union at Huronview
will be ratified soon. The
proposed wage increase for 1969
is eight percent plus $10 per
month for the female employees
in the low category of each
department with 18 months or
more service, This will Make the
maximum in these categories
$3348.24. Effective January 1,
1910, all categories will receive a
further increase of seven
percent.
Donald Graham has been
hired as a fourth clast engineer,

She also reported that the
annual bazaar was again a huge
success.
The auditors report showed
total revenue for the year
amounted to $139,353.03 with
total expenditures amounting to
$111,358.37. Of the surplus,
$20,016.60 was paid off the
mortgage, leaving a balance of
$7,978.06 for the year's
operation.
About 50 persons attended
the meeting held in the Zurich
Community Centre with Dr.
Wallace as chairman. Also

Exeter law firm of Bell and
Laugh ton.
similar open season on the same
dates.
Live fox pups are required
presently for experimental
purposes. The animals will be
given a new anti-rabies serum,
released and tests made to
discover whether or not the
animal is immune to the disease.
Foxes are thought to be the
most susceptible to rabies.
It was noted that not all
municipal clerks claim the ears
off a dead fox when the bounty
is paid. Charles Thomas said it
doesn't harm the pelt to take the
ears since artificial ears axe used
on fox fur wraps.
Incidentally, council learned
the fox pelt is gaining in value
now because fox fur is regaining
its popularity in the fashion
world. It is hoped this improved
pelt market will encourage more
fox hunters.
Council was told the bounty
on foxes does not seem to be
doing too much to keep the fox
population down,
Council has rejected a request
by Elmer Hunter, chairman of
the local committee regarding
One General Farm Organization,
for financial assistance with
regard to the proposed vote in
June.
It is hoped that either the
Chairman of the County
Development Committee, Roy
Pattison, or someone appointed
by him will attend some
meetings of the Huron Soil and
Crop Association.
During Friday's session, a
period of silence was observed in
memory of the late Elston
Cardiff, the late William
Sweitzer and the late Clayton
Smith, all former members of
Huron County Council.
