T-A photo Regional unit not too close Warden Lawson Cross of Perth ' County was quite right when he said recently that Huron County is not interested in a merger that would establish a regional health unit for Huron and Perth. Warden James Hayter said Wednesday morning that until Huron County knows where regional boundaries are going to be and until county council has a clearer understanding of the advantages of a regional health unit, Huron County is definitely not interested in a merger. There are other factors presently under investigation which Warden Hayter would not reveal at the present time. At the September session, added Warden Hayter, council hopes to have a doctor from the Wellington County area to give a report concerning the advantages of a regional health unit. "All we know right now is that there is a 75 percent grant for the operation of a regional health unit," stated Hayter, "but that doesn't necessarily mean that it would cost the people of Huron County Itss money." "If we went to a regional health unit we would have no control over the budget," Hayter warned.

Ross reported that he was sure the department would pay to fix up any such spots and added that problems caused by the pipe would probably show up within a month. The perforated pipe was demanded by the department of highways, and Ross said they have been using it for some time, It was installed in Goderich three years ago. He also pointed out it was included in the planned reconstruction north of the bridge and council should act now if they wished to have this changed. contractor, and as such should be fixed at the expense of the =tractor. The other laneways examined showed several gouge marks apparently made by vehicles driving onto Main St. Back in the council chambers, Ross indicated there was about 280 feet of sidewalk in question, and estimated it would cost about $7.50 per foot to have the sidewalk removed and installed again at a lower level to alleviate the dragging problem. He said this expenditure of approximately $2,000 would have to be paid by council. After being advised by the engineer that no error had been made by his firm in the plans — and that the contractor had put the street in according to those plans — Vriese suggested that if there was no error council should leave the entire thing alone. Councillor Ross Dobson said is some cases it was a matter of getting the public educated to the inclines. He said that if vehicles were driven onto the street at an angle, they would not scrape against the sidewalk. Another opinion expressed by Councillor Tom MacMillan was that drivers should slow down when driving over the sidewalks. He admitted in questioning from Vriese that the latter could not have driven any slower in the demonstration put on for council. "So you scrape a little," he remarked to Vriese. Ross told council that the contractors would be free of any liability on the Main St. project in five months, and any problems showing up after that time would have to be fixed at the town's expense.

T-A photo Phone 238.2257 GRAND BEND Exeter council learned Tuesday night that no one van apparently held responsible for the fact cars drag on the sidewalk while entering Main St. from some laneways. This came to light after a tour of the new Main St. and an inspection of some of the laneways in question. After the inspection, Councillor George Vriese noted that if a mistake had been made in putting the entrances in, someone must have made it. "We pay a good fee to the engineer and I think it's his baby," Vriese remarked, However, Consulting Engineer B. M. Ross said he didn't think his firm had made an error, and noted that the plans had been approved by the department of highways. Helen Jermyn asked Rosa what the town could have done to avoid the problems. "We're not engineers," she noted. Reeve Derry Boyle pointed out again that Ross had suggested his firm had not made a mistake, and in fact the department of highways approval cleared the Goderich firrnof any liability. "If a car hits, isn't it a mistake? Mrs. Jermyn questioned. The laneways in question are at Cann's Mill, T. Pryde & Son and Mrs. Frank Taylor. Members of council and the engineer gave the laneways a practical test when Councillor Vriese drove his car over them. With three men in the -rear seat, the car hit rather hard leaving the laneway at Cann's Mill. At Mrs. Taylor's, it was noted that the ramp was built too narrow and Ross suggested this was a mistake made by the NAME CQ101ITTEE There are also some buildings to be repaired by the contractor, council learned. These were damaged at the time the old sidewalk was removed. Councillor Ross Dobson suggested that a committee with representatives from council, the consulting engineers, the contractors and the department of highways make a complete inspection of the Main St. job to determine what other odds and ends bad to be cleared up to complete the work. He said the committee should have power to act on the site to agree on who would be responsible for any problems. Dobson said this would get all the small problems cleaned up at once. His suggestion was approved by council. At the conclusion of the meeting, Ross said it sounded as though there were a great many problems with the street, but in fact his firm and the department of highways are of the opinion it is a good street. Show- Down Sale Home made fencers can be disastrous neighboring property. In the wake of these accidents Ontario Hydro has appealed to farmers across the province to immediately remove electric fence controllers of the home-made or unapproved type. Both the child and the bull were killed by contact with fences electrified by home-made electric fence controllers. Investigation into the death of the child revealed the unapproved fence controller consisted of a line cord, lamp holder, step-up transformer (115 to 600 volts) and two wires to connect the 600-volt secondary to a ground rod and the fence. The arrangement permitted secondary output currents in the order of 30 milliamperes (thirty 1000th of an amp) at 600 volts — 15 milliamperes is sufficient to kill an adult male. And the primary current interrupter permitted the device to remain "on" for three seconds. Conditions under which the bull perished were similar. The Canadian Standards Association safety standard on electric fence controllers limits the output current to a maximum of 25 milliamperes for an "on" period of one-tenth of a second maximum. The "off" period must be nine-tenths of a second minimum to meet CSA standards. Failure of any internal component may not result in continuous current of more than five milliamperes on the fence. And CSA-approved "fencers" are available — at considerably less cost than *a home-made device. For the home-made electric fence controller can cost a life.

The town of Seaforth in Huron County, just a few miles to the west of Dublin which is about the centre of the two counties, had made a generous offer if the office was located there. Warden Hayter said there are extra grants available if a regional health unit is established in connection with a hospital. The site proposed by Seaforth was adjacent to the new Seaforth Community Hospital. However Perth County was pressing at that time to have the new office located in Stratford. A national story, the destruction of the Canadian embassy in Vienna, Austria, has touched the lives of an Exeter couple, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Brock. A nephew of the Brocks, L. T. (Larry) Dickenson, 23, was a Canadian employee in the embassy at the time of the fire. Mr. Dickenson who is with the department of trade and commerce, escaped through a back door of the embassy immediately after it was bombed. Minor cuts and bruises were the only injuries suffered by Mr. Dickenson although he did lose his eye glasses in the excitement. Mr. Dickenson's mother, Mrs. Thomas Dickenson, Denfield, is a sister of Mrs. Brock. Mrs. Brock told the T-A Wednesday morning Mr. Dickenson had been at work in the embassy only two days before the fire. His wife and little daughter Tonya Anne were quite safe in a Vienna Hotel. Mr. Dickenson went to Austria as an assistant commercial secretary at the Canadian Embassy and his duties are basically trade promotion and economics reporting for the federal government, For the past year the Dickenson family have done extensive language study in Ottawa and Mr. Dickenson has been in training with the Department of Trade and Commerce which included an industry-familierilation tour of Canada, coast to coast. He is a graduate of Medway High School and the University of Guelph. His uncle is the Minister of Agriculture for Ontario, the Hon. William A.
