Alvin D, Smith, chairman of the executive committee of Huron County Council asked for discussion Friday on the question of county welfare and was rewarded with a deluge of comments that had to be curtailed by Warden James Hayter in order to carry on further business of the day. The crux of the discussion was whether or not council should look into the possibility of forming a county welfare unit with trained personnel to manage its affairs. Clerk John Berry thought the government would look "with favor" on Huron County Council if it did enter the field of county welfare. Said Berry, "This is about the only matter we have not taken over that is within our authority." Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle commented, "I think the thing we have to concern ourselves with is the even distribution of county welfare. In the past the burden has been placed on certain municipalities." Warden Hayter had vacated the warden's chair in order to speak more freely on the matter. He told Chairman Roy B. Cousins and other members of council that the rehabilitation of welfare recipients was a matter of prime importance. "We shouldn't have one generation after the other carrying on with welfare," remarked Hayter. He said local welfare officers have been sincere, but they are just not qualified to deal with many of the problems that come up in welfare work. Discussion revealed that some municipalities in the county have a very insignificant amount of welfare payments while certain other areas encounter real difficulty. There was some indication that municipalities surrounding Huron Park at the former CFB Centralia are experiencing new problems brought on by an influx of new people. Warden Hayter said modern population was on the move and that it was not always true that a local welfare officer knew poppy fund on Saturday and marched in the parade on the Remembrance Day service on Sunday. Winner of the mystery and guessing prizes was Mrs. Vic Stan. ANNIVERSARY OBSERVED Mr. & Mrs. Bert Horton were pleasantly surprised on the occasion of their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary, when their family, Mr. & Mrs. Alan Busche, Dorchester and Bruce Horton, Hensall arranged a family gathering in their honor, at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Ed.

Reeve Roy Westcott, Usborne, said he would like to see some figures which would give him an idea of the cost of operating a county welfare unit for one year, He said the Bruce County delegation which addressed county council in September painted a "pretty rosey picture" but were using figures from the six summer months. Westcott noted that in most municipalities, the winter months are the costliest where welfare payments are concerned. Hullett Reeve Hugh Flynn commented, "Locally, we can look after it better then someone from the county." Jack Alexander, Wingham, advised that Wingham on the other hand believed welfare should be administered on a county basis. John Flannery, Seaforth, thought the larger municipalities were loading their welfare problems onto the shoulders of rural municipalities "who have worked hard to keep their welfare recipients down." Everett McIlwain, Goderich Township concurred. He said his municipality was blessed with an efficient welfare officer .and doubted if Goderich Township would be interested in the introduction of county welfare. Reeve of Goderich, Harry Worsell said, "Goderich isn't too hard hit. We're doing very nicely." McKillop Reeve Allan Stewart pointed out that the urban areas had an opportunity to get their welfare dollars back. "What revenue have we as a township," he asked. Blyth Reeve Borden Cook told council the county had no welfare problem at the present time, Stanley Township deputy GEORGE ALEXANDER ANDREW George Alexander Andrew, RR 3 Melbourne, formerly of Exeter, died suddenly at the Strathroy-Middlesex Hospital on November 6 in his 60th year. He is survived by his wife, Irene, a son, William at home; a daughter Ruth, Mrs. Leonard Swales, Melbourne; step-sons James Chamberlain, Melbourne, Harvey Chamberlain, Dorchester, Donald Chamberlain and step-daughter Betty, Mrs. Cecil Worden both of London; sisters, Mrs. Ernest Pym, Hensall and Mrs. Norman Knight, Seaforth, Funeral was from the Marding-Madill Funeral Home, Mount Brydges on November 10.

JACOB F !SCHER Jacob Fischer passed away on November 8, at South Huron Hospital, Exeter. He was the husband of the late Mary Weiberg. Mr. Fischer is survived by three daughters and one son: Thelma, Mrs. Charles Thiel and Leona, Mrs. Lorne Rader, both Anson McKinley said the matter had to be resolvecl with the local taxpayer in mind: "We seem to be continually eroding away at the authority of local council," stated McKinley. "I'm not death against any county system that is working well but let's not change for sake of change." Goderich deputy-reeve Walter Sheardown said, "It doesn't cost us a nickel to operate our welfare committee in Goderich. After the assessment deal, I'm very skeptical to go along with county welfare." Derry Boyle spoke again. He asked if Exeter was a part of Huron County, He said he was "fed up to here" with the smallness of municipalities in Huron County whichhad concern only for their own private problems. Gordon Hess, Reeve of Zurich requested the discussion be closed, He warned council, "If we keep turning down responsibility we must succumb to new legislation. The system is changing and we must go along or there is no future for county council. I think we have to think not what's best for today, but what is best in 10 or 15 years from today." In closing the subject for the day, council referred the matter back to committee for further study. In the meantime council requested Clerk Berry to invite a report from some other county which had been involved in county welfare for a full year or more. In other business, council agreed that there should be uniformity in the gift given employees at retirement. It was decided that gold cuff links and a tie pin bearing the county crest should be established as the regular gift for retiring county employees. of Dashwood; Mary Mae, Mrs. Albert Wushke of Wapella, Saskatchewan, and Truman of Dashwood; a sister, Mrs. Charles Weiberg of Exeter, and a brother, Amiel of 14th Concession, Hay Township; ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
