Exeter council tentatively agreed Monday night to have the Ontario Fire Marshal's department conduct a survey of the local fire department. Don Owens, a fire services advisor from the department, said the survey would cover the present fire agreements which Exeter has with neighboring communities, manpower on the local brigade, communications, equipment and traffic control procedures when a fire breaks out. He said several communities have taken advantage of the survey to update their equipment, bylaws and to have an idea of the rules and regulations councils should follow pertaining to firemen and their activities. The survey is done without charge and there is no obligation for council to follow any of the suggestions which would be J. W. Coulter, superintendent of schools, reported to Huron County Board of Education at last week's meeting that a total of 169 classroom visits had been made this term. He also said that all 1969 Teachers' College graduates and all but six experienced teachers hired in 1969 for elementary schools had been visited; that 31 of secondary school staff hired in 1969 had been visited; and that seven program consultants from the regional office had visited the county. Evening classes are underway in four secondary schools with following enrolment and classes: Central Huron, Clinton, R. Whitely, principal: 188 enrolled in ten classes; Goderich DCI, C. Kalbfleisch, principal: 160 enrolled in six classes; F. E. Madill SS, Wingham, E. Beard, principal: 106 enrolled in six classes; South Huron DHS, Exeter: 326 enrolled in 14 classes. Courses run for approximately 21 weeks; fee for a course is $10 or $15, depending on supplies. "I hear pupils and parents complaining about some of the teachers," commented John Henderson, Seaforth, representative on the Board for Clinton, Hullett and Seaforth. "Do you think, Mr. Coulter, there are many in the County that are not good teachers?" Eye-brows were raised as the superintendent considered his reply. He said: "There are varying degrees of goodness in teachers. He added that one or two names may appear shortly before the Board for consideration. "After the inspection of 169 classrooms, when can we expect a report?" John B. Lavis, Clinton, Board chairman asked Mr. Coulter. "What system have we got? When should we ask for and expect it?" ...:,,t.,,t,..__i ,,,:, 7 ---- • _ 0,k "He must have come to his senses." made, Owens stated. It was indicated that Fire Chief Gary Middleton had expressed a wish to have the survey taken and firemen present at the meeting agreed it would be a good idea. "I think we should go ahead," Councillor Ross Taylor stated. "The firemen would feel better and it would probably enlighten council." "It's a service we should take advantage of," agreed Mrs. Helen Jermyn. She noted there were changes over the years and all aspects should be brought up to date. Deputy-Reeve Mery Cudmore asked if the Fire Marshal's office staff had any thought of regional development regarding fire protection. Owens replied that he couldn't see — within 10 years at least — where fire departments "If you expect a report on more than 600 teachers, if that's what you want, then it may take quite a while," Mr. Coulter replied. D. J. Cochrane, director of education, suggested to Mr. Henderson that if there were any complaints about the teachers, they should be reported to the superintendent and himself. This was the way it should work. Achievement Day set for Saturday 4-H Homemaking Club Achievement Days will be held in South Huron District High School, Exeter, this Saturday, and in Zurich Community Hall, November 29. The program commences after 1:00 PM and features skits, demonstrations and exhibits by many clubs. The girls involved put a great deal of effort and imagination into the program.

Highway — Continued from front page better indication that they were approaching a dangerous intersection, "I'm quite disappointed," Boyle commented. Mrs. Jermyn noted there were no provisions for a sidewalk on the east side of the highway, but Mayor Delbridge pointed out people had to cross the road because the bridge didn't have a walk on the east side either. A sidewalk will be included On the east side, but only from Alexander St. to Highway 83. Total cost of the work will be over $170,000, would be involved in regional government. He told council that a move in this direction in the Niagara Falls area had not worked out as planned and he explained that fire departments must of necessity be centred where there is ample manpower. Owens told council that he could not possibly undertake the local survey until March or April, and while most appeared prepared to approve the survey, he asked that their decision be held over. After he left, Mayor Jack Delbridge commented that there appeared to be no need for further discussion and it would only be a matter of council remembering to pass the resolution calling for the survey at a later date. NEED SUPPLIES At the meeting, a list of equipment required by the fire department was submitted by Chief Middleton. Council agreed that some of the equipment should be purchased but thought it advisable to wait until the survey had been taken to ascertain that the equipment listed would be that suggested by Owens. A letter was received noting that the Huron County Mutual Fire Aid Association planned a week long work seminar at Seaforth in June and it was requested that at least three members of the local brigade attend. Reeve Derry Boyle presented a motion that Chief Middleton and two others be authorized to attend, and if necessary, the salaries of the two others be paid by council. Middleton's salary would be paid by the town anyway as he is a member of the recreation-arena staff. The motion was passed. Huron custodians • • loin union group The fluron County Board of Education has received official notification that the Labor Relations Board has received the request of the custodial employees in Huron County to form a Union and has certified the Service Employees Union as the bargaining agent. At Monday evening's regular meeting of the Board of Education, a labor relations committee was formed by the board to be chaired by Dan Murphy, Goderich lawyer. Other members of that committee are Garnet Hicks, Clarence McDonald, Gordon Moir, James Taylor and Mrs. Marilyn Kunder. The committee will meet to decide whether they will meet with the bargaining agent or whether they will solicit professional assistance in this matter.

Reeve and incumbent councillors Albert Armstrong, Jack Dorman, Mac Hodgins and Gerald Wright were the only names filed with returning officer William Amos. The attendance was the smallest in many years with only 22 persons showing up in addition to township officials. The frequent queries of township business and policies by perennial questioner Walter Grieve kept the meeting lively. Councillor Jack Dorman explained the 1969 tax rate that increased seven mills from a year ago. The shelter grant also increased by $3.50 to $43.50 leaving the net increase on an average assessment of $5,000 at $31.50. Most of the increase was in the township rate, rising from 15.2 mills to 19.7 mills and was due to a deficit of $4,421 from 1968, an early payment of $7,600 to the Parkhill Dam out of surplus funds and the purchase of a new grader at a cost of $18,070.50. The Ontario Highways department paid 55 percent of the cost of the grader. The other rise was in the public school rate up from 15.2 to 19.7 mills. On the other side of the ledger there were two decreases. The County rate dropped .4 mills and the Accidents — Continued from front page it to the Rader vehicle, according to Constable D. A. Mason. At 8:36 p.m. two vehicles were involved in an accident at Mount Carmel, with damage amounting to $610. A vehicle driven by Howard Kerslake, RR 1 Centralia, was proceeding west on the Mount Carmel Road when it was in collision with a truck being backed from a private lane by Michael Ryan, RR 3 Ailsa Craig. Constable Lamont investigated. The other accident of the week took place last Tuesday at 1:30 a.m. It was a single car mishap involving Paul Richard Corriveau, Zurich. It occurred on concession 10.11 Hay just south of the Hay-Stanley line. Damage was set at $500 by Constable Mason. During the past week, the officers laid 12 charges under the Highway Traffic Act. and issued warnings to another 28 drivers. Two persons were charged under the Liquor Control Act. Constable J. A. Wright, accident prevention officer, visited the Mount Carmel Separate School, J.A.D. McCurdy School and Usborne Central and talked to 420 students on accident prevention. secondary school rate dipped by 1.5 mills. Grieve's first questions concerned the rise in taxes and when told a big pad went to the Parkhill Dam he said, "That's nothing but a stinkhole, it should be checked for pollution. Albert Armstrong gave a comprehensive report on warble fly spraying giving details of an early controversy over possibly dropping the scheme. Council found that the program cannot be dropped without consent of one-third of the farmers in a municipality. While it was too late to get a petition, inspectors were told to go ahead and spray what they could and give out powder to other farmers to do themselves. While doing the spraying, inspectors took a poll and found only twelve farmers against the spraying program. When questioned by Grieve if two sprayings were enough, Armstrong said, "No, I would like to have three sprayings for my own cattle, but even spraying for lice is well worth the money spent." Grieve said he powdered his own cattle at a cost of $20. Councillor Mac Hodgins outlined the township's tile drain loan program and suggested that any farmers contemplating this type of work should get their application in early as the present interest rate of four percent is not expected to remain for much longer. Gerald Wright outlined the cost of gravel and calcium for the year and told the gathering a real traffic hazard was removed with the cutting down of the West Corners corner. At this point, Grieve questioned Reeve Dixon on what authority council raised the assessments by more than $4,000 on a recently concluded municipal drain. Dixon was quick to read a letter from the auditor saying the increased expenditures had been approved by the engineers and were according to the bylaw. This brought on more questions, "How many other drains were let above the engineer's estimate and who sets the engineers fees?" Dixon answered the first with, " Wal ter, what's the population of Australia?" and the second with "The engineers do themselves." Dixon's report on Middlesex County council activities was lengthy and took in a lot of subjects. He covered regional government, hunting bylaws, rabies and burning restrictions at municipal dumps. On regional government, Dixon said, "I'm sure we can hold it off for quite awhile if we can group smaller municipalities and the farm people together." A Middlesex committee that was chaired by Freeman Hodgins of Parkhill and included the McGillivray Reeve proposed that the townships of McGillivray, East and West Williams be linked with Parkhill and Ailsa Craig in a combined government. Dixon reported that temporary permission had been received by the Ontario Health department to continue open burning at the dump. Provincial communiques have asked that open burning be 0 confined to three times per year when wind and weather conditions are suitable. Bill Amos, the township's representative on the Ausable River Conservation Authority reported on the year's activity with the opening of the Parkhill Dam being the highlight. Amos said the beach area was well used last year and many requests had been received for camping and trailer facilities and this was being planned for 1970. With the increased number of snowmobiles, trails may be developed this winter. The only school question raised was to why some kindergarten students were being picked up at 7:30 in the morning. This went unanswered as school board representative Jack Murdy of Lucan was unable to attend. Murdy arrived a few minutes after the meeting closed and said the board was aware of the problem. At the close of the meeting, Reeve Dixon asked if ratepayers would be in favour of nomination meetings in the evening in an attempt to bolster sagging attendance. Most of the crowd agreed this was worth considering. CY_C9i.OGY SEZ: n 0 ow.L.m..s,1...
