Nursing week to be observed The second annual Nursing Home week in Ontario is being held June 13-20. The former imageof theNursing Home, often understaffed, and in some cases untrained staff, is fast disappearing. Today's modern and up-to-date Nursing Homes present the opposite picture while still remembering their basic purpose in life, to give care for those in need. Today's Homes are ad- ministered by professional people acting in a responsible manner. Recently, the provincial government announced in- surance coverage will be ex- tended to Nursing Homes by April, 1972. Nursing Homes provide more than 19,000 beds, which is 20 percent of the health care beds in Ontario. Many Nursing Homes will hold special events during the week. Queensway Nursing Home, Hensall, will participate by having a bazaar, June 16. EXETER UNITED CHURCH Exeter, Ontario Minister: Rev. Glen D. Wright, B.A.,B.D.

Harper and Company. At last week's meeting, council learned that a deficit of $13,422 was created in 1970, The deficit was actually lower as $10,000 was placed in a township reserve fund. The township still carries an overall surplus of $16,086. The gross revenue and ex- penditures last year were the largest ever listed on a Stephen report. They were $640,164 and $653,586, respectively. Alfred Smith ,'representing the police village of Crediton asked council for a meeting to review fire agreements. Council agreed and a date will be arranged in the near future. An application by Bill Ford to operate a mobile home park on Concession 6, near the Huron Street side road was turned down because of the location of the property, not being connected to a well-travelled road. A grant of $75 was made to the Dashwood Minor baseball Association. The request for financial assistance was made by Jack Ford and Ray Webb. Four tile drain applications totalling $27,500 were approved. Stephen's Ausable River Conservation Authority representative James Hayter met with council and was authorized to vote in favour of including all of Stephen in the Authority. At the present time about 80 percent of the township is included in the Ausable watershed. The Turner, John S. Smith and Carroll, Wilson and Keller ex- tension municipal drains were adopted and given first and second readings. The Webb extension No. 2 drain report has been returned to the engineer for alterations and the Centralia drain repair has been held up temporarily on a Ask co-operation in water safety Sgt. C. M. Hawke in charge of the summer detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police at Grand Bend asks the co- operation of all visitors in ob- serving water safety. "Now that warm weather is fast approaching, vacationers are advised to use close super- vision with small children near the water. Let's have 1971 a drowning free year at Grand Bend," added the OPP officer. During the week ending Saturday, Grand Bend detach- ment officers investigated 85 occurrences and laid a total of 25 charges. Liquor control offences numbered 23 while single charges were laid for wilful damage and a Highways Traffic Act offense. School board - Continued from front page board that in his opinion, poor communication with the teachers was an immediate problem to be overcome. In his recom- mendation to the board, Dr. Deathe suggested a "fairly major co-operative program with your professional staff" beginning with a session in October entitled "Improving Communication Within The County System". While board members decided to take a full two weeks before the next board meeting to study all the ramifications of Dr. Deathe's full proposal, including his thoughts to set up a type of teacher advisory committee to the board, Mrs. J. W. Wallace, also of Goderich, made reference to a convention she had attended where it had been advocated that teachers be involved in budget- making with the board of education, Mrs. Wallace explained that in all cases reported at the con- vention where teachers had been invited to assist with budget planning, full co-operation had been achieved with teachers' salary negotiations moving swiftly and easily to settlement. "Teachers learned of the costs of other services while sitting in on budget sessions," said Mrs. Wallace. "No advantage was taken of the boards' budgetary systems. In view of what's happened we should take a Serious look at the method. The whole approach should be looked at another year." Usborne singers at Ontario Place The Usborne Central school senior choir will be combining a business and pleasure trip to Toronto next week, Under the direction of principal Allan Taylor, the 55-member choir will be performing at Ontario Place, Tuesday af- 'ternoon at two o'clock. Providing accompanying music will be pianist Mrs, Lois Ottewell of the school staff and guitarist Peter Snell of the staff of Exeter public School, The trip was originally scheduled for next Wednesday, but a call from Toronto just before press time announced the change to Tuesday. "Hey, I hear there was a big fire at the burlesque theatre last night." "That's right. It took the firemen two hours to put out the blaze. Then it took police two hoursto put out the firemen," technicality. A municipal drain petition from Mrs. Alexine Dietrich and Len Veri was accepted and will be forwarded to the township engineering firm of Gamsby and Mannerow, Guelph. While the 1971 Stephen tax rate has not yet been set, all householders will benefit from an increase in the shelter grant from a year ago. Clerk Wilmar D. Wein told council last week that a provincial release had listed the Stephen rebate at $58.90, but not to exceed one-half of the total tax bill. In 1970, Stephen farm and residential owners received a rebate of $55.84 while police village residents were reim- bursed to the amount of $57.70. Open office of Manpower Ben Hey, manager of the Goderich Manpower centre this week announced the appointment of a new manager at the Huron Park office of Canada Manpower. He is Bill Estabrooks, a graduate in business ad- ministration from the University of Western Ontario who has been employed by Canadian Canners in Exeter for the past six years. In recent weeks, the Huron 1Park Manpower office located next to the post office has been renovated and provided with a private entrance. Jack Malone, manager of the Industrial park turned over the keys to the office to Mr. Hey, Monday afternoon. Mr. Hey told the T-A, "with a full-time office here at Huron Park we will be able to provide a better service for employers and emplo'yees in the southern part of the county." The office manned. by manager Bill Estabrooks and his personnel assistant Helen Pring will be open five days a week from 8:30 a.nui. to 5 p.m. Bill Estabrooks said he would be contacting district firms in the near future on employer-relation calls. On the employment situation, Mr. Hey said Huron was probably in a better position than a lot of areas. He added that there was a shortage of skilled tradesmen in Huron county. Refuse chance to acquire land The Exeter Industrial Development Corporation has turned down an offer from a local firm to purchase part of the land owned by the industrial group on Highway 4 at the north end of Exeter. The land was purchased through funds provided by local residents who had taken out $100 shares to provide the building for Custom Trailers on Highway 83. 'When that industry bought the building from the industrial group, the funds were reinvested in the Highway 4 land. Main purpose of the purchase of the land on Highway 4 was to have an industrial or commercial site available at a fixed cost. Mayor Jack Delbridge wanted to know Monday night why the industrial group wouldn't sell the land. Councillor Mery Cudmore, one of council's representatives on the industrial committee, replied that the land was being held for "Someone to come in from the outside". He said the firm which ex- pressed an interest in the land was already located in the community and in fact had another piece of land available to them. In addition, he said one of the major factors was that the firm did not wish to purchase the entire parcel. Cudmore said at first he thought the land should have been sold, but after further consideration he was of the Opinion it was a wise decision net to sell it. Hensall lights will soon shine more brightly, Council was in- formed by clerk Earl Campbell that the 25 street lights ordered for the PUC have arrived and will be installed in the near future. Five corner lights with 20 street lights complete with brackets, were purchased at a cost of $1,543.00. Streets committee chairman Leonard Erb reported that the three men hired to clean up the park through- the employment incentive grant are "getting along very well". He said dozens of deaf trees had already been cut down and hauled away but there was still a great deal more work to be done. The Reeve, John Baker, questioned if the clean-up would be completed by the end of June and suggested the council apply for a further grant from the provincial government to cover two weeks extra work, The grant already received amounts to $960, The two students employed were hired at $1,65 per hour, and the older man at $2.00, Councillor Paul Neilands, head of the property committee, said the dump was in pretty good shape except for the mill dump which is "a terrible mess." He said therewere two or three acres of uncovered mill wastes and that "it is going to cost somebody a lot of money to bury it." Council decided to call in a contractor with a drag line shovel to see what can be done to remedy the situation. Neilands also reported that the new washrooms being installed in the pavilion building are nearing completion. Councillor Harold Knight was instructed to contact the con- tractor responsible for laying the drain on Queen Street. Council is anxious that the drain be in- stalled before the new sidewalks are poured in that area. Reeve Baker said Vic Hargreaves auction barn owner, had approached him to inquire if the council would assist in paying for black-top layed on the boulevard in front of the barn. Council was doubtful they could get a subsidy for this but agreed to look into the matter. A letter from the Ausable Conservation Authority inviting the reeve and councillors to the annual tour of watersheds was read. The reeve, and councillors Paul Neilands and Murray Baker will accompany the tour. In answer to a question regarding the PUC well which was drilled recently, Reeve Baker told the council, "There's no use drilling a deep well in Hensall." He said the drilling had proved unsuccessful. The cost of the venture was $15,000. Two bylaws were passed, one to borrow $12,000 for the PUC for temporary advances on work and local improvements. The other Let contracts in Usborne Contracts for two road building jobs were let at the latest meeting of Usborne township council, David Siddall of Denfield will be supplying and delivering 2,300 yards of road building materials to the job site at Concession Road 2-3. The total price is $1,670. C. E. Reid and Sons of Hensall submitted a tender of $7,660 that was accepted to supply and deliver 10,000 yards of material to the road building job on Con- cession 10-11. Bylaw No. 7 was officially passed authorizing the collection of tax rates in the municipality, one-half of the rates to be due on June 30 with the remainder on December 14, less the residential tax reduction. The evening of June 15 will be set aside to consider the Hunter and Cudmore municipal drain reports, All assessed ratepayers will be notified, Road superintendent Bill Routly was instructed to charge ratepayers $1.50 per yard for gravel sold to them during road gravelling operations. bylaw allows council to borrow up to $15,000 for the village should they require funds before taxes are collected, Ernie Davis, utility man, reportedbe had 'dealt with' three stray dogs, cleaned street, patched potholes, gravelled the car parks and spread some calcium chloride.

During the week the OPP charged 11 drivers under the Highway Traffic Act and issued warnings to another 26. Council withheld a perroit for siding on a house because the price charged by the contractor to the elderly owner appeared to be out of line. Accounts were paid in the amount of $5,153.05. Tuesday evening, council Met with Gary Davidson, planning director for the County of Huron to discuss the preparation of a zoning bylaw and the approval of the County's development plans, Further discussion will resume later, GB council — Continued from front page of hamburgs to make up this amount. I have another place in Bayfield and I don't pay any fee like here."

Mcllroy said, "I don't know what the answer is. The resort business isn't easy." Mrs. Pat Harrison who lives close to main street said, "The noise is driving me crazy." Reeve Payne added that one hotel owner told him he had lost two families who left because of extreme noise at 2:30 in the morning.

She said there have been 10 accidents at this corner during the past 12 months. "Residents in this area are quite upset about the lack of protection for children crossing the street. We will even consider a sit-in if this situation is not corrected shortly," added Mrs. Sylvester.
