CLARKE KENNEDY GRAND BEND The weather was favourable for the first Open Air Worship Service at the United Church for the summer season.

Mrs. Howard Bolger and daughter Lois, London, are holidaying for two weeks at Stanfield cancels tour to Goderich Opposition Leader Robert Stanfield's planned tour of South- western Ontario, including part -of Huron County, was cut short when he cancelled Tuesday and Wednesday's itinerary. Be was still unsure Tuesday whether parliamentary business would force him to cancel the entire trip, The leader of the Conservative party was to visit Dominion Road Machinery in Goderich, followed by a reception. Then he was to go to Wingham for a radio broadcast from CKNX and to tape a television program. Thursday, he was to go to Kincardine and Douglas Point for a tour of Bruce County. He had to stay in Ottawa, however, when the Commons returned to deal with the Quebec longshoremen's strike. If his schedule is resumed, the itinerary may be shuffled to pick up some of the centres missed. Ask owners to clean up Three Exeter property owners will receive letters this week asking them to clean up their properties, Two of the properties are located at the corner of Carling and John Streets, and a letter written to council suggested the corner was a "disgrace to the " town", The properties are owned by Mrs. A.

Gib pow will also be asked to clean up his property al the end of Wellington St. and it was suggested if the town had to do it, a bulldozer would be employed and billed to the owner.

Day said during the last several weeks, a number of ambulances have been using Highway 4 on their way to London and motorists have failed to pull to the side of the road. A most interesting set of figures was presented to Huron County Council Thursday at its June session by John McKinnon, director of social services for Huron. It showed the comparison of gross costs for general welfare assistance, nursing homes, supplementary aid, and special assistance for persons in Huron from January 1 to April 30 for the years 1971 and 1972. The figures are interesting because in 1971 there was no welfare county-wide and opinion has been that costs for welfare across Huron would increase substantially when county welfare was established. However the overall increase was only slightly over $2,000 - from 107,097.69 in 1971 to $109,332.51 for the same period in 1972. January to April is con- sidered by welfare personnel, the peak season for social services. By municipality, the figures show variation: Ashfield, $4,469.53 in 1971 ($3,018.66 in 1972); Colborne $145.63 (917.68); Goderich Township, $592.68 ($1,382.45) ; Grey, $1,555.65 ($2,735.96); Hay, $1,935.90 ($1,264.35); Howick, $6,090,23 ($6,512.44); Hullett, $2,067,52 ($1,216 60); McKillop, $1,572.16 ($6,014,39); Morris, $689.99 ($3,244.18); Stanely, $581.00 ($1,838.99); Stephen, $4,821,82 ($5,170.74) ; Tuckersmith, $4,261.98 ($2,553.95); Turnberry, $11,067.19 ($8,552.72); Usborne, $1,770.24 ($628.48); East Wawanosh, $4,031.81 ($3,273.01); West Wawanosh, $1,789.31 ($4,767.97); Clinton $4,473.19 ($8,518.74); Exeter, $7,806.88 ($4,149.55); Goderich, $15,094.74 ($16,189.32); Seaforth, $11,208.49 ($8,656.82); Wingham, $10,886.28 ($8,272;23); Bayfield $416.86 ($383.08): Blyth, $300.27 ($2,372.03); Brussels, $6,684.75 ($3,638.35) ; Hensall, $1,957.48 ($2,926.00); and Zurich, $1,007.10 ($1,133.90). It was learned after studying the figures that in some areas where welfare costs had been lower last year than in 1972, there could be several reasons for the change. In some instances, nursing home patients were sent to another municipality where they become the welfare responsibility of that municipality. In another in- stance, most notably Clinton, where airforce personnel moved out of homes and housing became available, welfare recipients moved in. McKinnon pointed out that in municipalitieswhere little empty housing exists there is less likelihood of welfare recipients finding accommodation and they move on to a community where homes are available and therefore, less expensive. County council gave its ap- proval to enter into an agreement with the Victorian Order of Nurses to provide nursing service at home, where necessary, for recipients of general welfare assistance. An 80 percent grant is paid by the government toward these services. The county will pay the remainder. A resolution put forward by the Huron County Health Unit Board was approved by council. The resolution asking the province to consult with health units and boards of health regarding any proposed changes in health legislation, is in anticipation of regional health units which are feared to be more costly. "We don't 'mow the intention of government," said Chairman Derry Boyle. "The Minister isn't clear on it but it looks like hospital insurance, health care and welfare could all be rolled into one. They're trying to co- ordinate allied services. The Minister has refused to meet with the Ontario Health Units Association and has turned down an invitation to speak at its next convention because he'll be out of the country. We don't know where to go for more information but we don't want the same thing to happen here as happened to our school system where legislation was rammed through. We may only be paying 25 per- cent instead of 50 percent, but costs will be greater and we won't be saving any money." "We're not opposed to change providing the change is • not contrary to what we want in our health unit," added Ed. Oddliefson, reeve of Bayfield.

Exeter Times Advocate Dear Sir; I thought you might be in- terested in this letter in our local Simcoe paper, I was born near Lucan, myself. My mother (Mrs, Alvin Cunningham) still sub- scribes to your paper, She still lives near Luca!), She is about ten miles from, Exeter. I was pleased to hear the nice comments about the people of Lucan. I attended High School there. Sincerely, Verna Manson (nee Cunningham) Rewards of Camping Editor, The Reformer: A couple of weeks ago I was asked why I go camping. At the time I thought it an easy question to answer so I carried on about camping for over an hour. On the night of June 19, 1972, I was given the answer on a platter. It was so simple it was fantastic. There is a short story to it which I will try to keep short, Eight families from the Norfolk Drifters spent the weekend at Exeter, Ontario, at the Western Ontario Campout, N.C.H.A. On the way home one member's trailer hit a pot hole in the road at Lucan, breaking the axle. In a secretary treasurer, Mrs, Carl Willert; table convener, Mrs. Stan Zachar; sports, Mrs. Joyce Miller, Mrs. Carol Willert. Mrs, Verna Neff was congratulated on coming the furthest distance for the Willert Reunion from Eyebrow Sask. few minutes other campers stopped to give assistance. The 0.P.P, directed traffic and Sam asked a farmer if he could back his trailer into his driveway. I have no idea as to the name of this man but he was quite agreeable and told Sam to put the trailer on the lawn. Then Sam came home, On Monday 'after work in Simcoe, four of us left for Lucan in two cars, one with a small trailer in tow loaded with tools. We took the axle off the trailer and went looking for a welder in town. We were sent to a shop where the owner was at work. I don't think that he was too happy to see us as he said he had more work for his own customers, I did not blame him. Who wants to be bothered with four strangers at 8:00 p.m. Anyhow after 10 or 15 minutes he started to ask questions and shortly after he wanted to see the axle. To make the story short, he did a nice job of welding after lining up the broken parts. We installed the axle back on the trailer and went home. The point is none of these people, the farmer, police, the welder or the campers, who all offered help, knew Sam or the rest of us but they all offered help when it was needed, This is what camping is all about and I say thank you to all those nice people, I have heard it said that we are one cut above being gypsies. Some people play golf on weekends, others are boaters and so on, but we enjoy seeing our own Provinces and States by camping. It is most rewarding when you can help others on the highways and see your help appreciated. We have a lot of fun too and I think campers keep thousands of people employed• just keeping us up to date with new camping equipment and supplies and looking after our private and provincial parks. I would like to thank again the people of Lucan, the farmer with the riding stable at the north end of town, the man who welded the axle, the O.P.P. at Lucan and the other campers who offered to help. Sam is Sam Livingstone, Simcoe; also John Dennis and Monty Boughner and myself, Ernie Vidler, President of the Norfolk Drifters — National Campers and Hikers Association, Gypsies?
