More than 40 people attended Huron County's first Adult Health Guidance Centre, held in Exeter Tuesday. The centre provided health screenings, in the form of anemia urine , hearing and sight tests and blood pressure; services such as cutting toe nails ; Centralia Farmers Supply Ltd.

Limited nutrition budgeting information; and generally just someone to listen to the common everyday problems of the people who at- tended, Dr. Frank Mills, medical of- ficer of health for Huron County, was in charge of the centre, and he and his staff were extremely pleased with the turn-out. "I always thought there was a need for something like this," he said, "and today's attendance has proved it," The centre is a function of the Huron County Health unit, and the one in•Exeter was the first of a pilot project which will be carried on throughout the county. It is, at least partially, the result of a geriatrics survey which has been carried out in the county over the last 10 years. The survey explored all aspects of the living conditions of the senior residents of the area and it showed that these people need extra attention for simple medical needs, There are about 5,000 people over the age of 65 in Huron county, said Dr. Mills - as many oldsters as youngsters. "We have to try to give equal time to all these people." Dr. Mills stressed that the centre was not to be considered as a clinic, it gives people a chance to talk about anything with which they tmight have problems to a qualified staff who have the time and 'knowledge to answer some of these questions. His staff reflected this feeling. "We have to de-emphasize the medical input. We've got to have a folksy, not a sterile, at- mosphere," said county health nurse M. E. Cunningham. For example, said Dr. Mills, many have problems with distribution of their pensions. So one of the courses offered give suggestions for how to use a limited income to get proper food value and nutrition and still have some left over to live on. The centre also provides such a simple service as cutting toe- nails. Some of the older people, said Dr, Mills, cannot cut their own toe-nails, and are in- capacitated by them, This is the sort of thing that has to be done, but it is difficult to get a doctor to do them, He emphasized, however, that the centre is not a substitution for a doctor's care, but just an ad- junct to it. He said that often, doctor's don't have the time, and patients are hesitant to go to a doctor with the minor problems that come up. This way, said Dr. Mills, they can come, to us, free of charge, and maybe we can promote better health habits which will prevent the occurrence of some of the problems. He also said that people might go to the centre before they would bother a doctor, and this way the centre staff can get at the problem earlier and refer the person to a doctor. Dr. Mills said that from talking to the people who attended the centre, it was apparent that almost all did have their own doctor. He said the centres are open to all adults with an emphasis on the older population. They will initially operate one- half day each month and may be extended to a full day if the demand is great enough. The second centre to open in the county will be at the health unit office in Brussels next week. Other centres will begin at future dates in Wingham, Seaforth, Clinton and Goderich. Due to a change in regulations for municipal nominations this year Grand Bend council has decided to hold a ratepayers meeting on Monday night, November 6. Under new provincial rules, nominations may be accepted by the returning officer from November 9 until 5 p.m. on November 13. Nomination forms will be available at the clerk's office and each nomination form must have at least ten signatures of persons eligible to vote in the municipality in question, George Knapp of Knapp amusements operators of the Penny Arcade at the foot of Main street in Grand Bend lodged a complaint on the amount of licence fees his firm is paying to the village. In objecting to the $445 paid for licences in 1971 Knapp said "In our other operations in Port Dover, Crystal Beach, Hamilton and Port Stanley we pay from $50 to $100 per year." He told council in most other municipalities Penny Arcades were licenced as one unit while in Grand Bend all machines except those vending merchandise were licenced individually. Council several months earlier had instructed their solicitor to review the licencing bylaw, In commenting on the licencing bylaw, Reeve John Payne said, "I think we should be fair and equitable with you and everyone else. Next year you should be much happier with us." In continuing his argument Knapp said, "Restaurants only pay a one dollar licence fee while we're charged $445. I don't think that's fair." Councillor Murray Des Jardins made a full report on the operations at the beach this summer. He ,reported a profit of $615.33 from the bath house and parking lot. A total of $522.08 was spent on maintaining the green areas. The budget was set at $850, A meeting of the executive members of Huron NDP Riding Association was held in Goderich, Sunday night to finalize details for the September 27 nomination meeting in Brucefield.

Councillor Dave Jackson reported the winter schedule of pick-up for garbage started this anticipated that certain student voters may be deprived of their vote because they will be at- tending school out of town on October 30. They would normally appear on local enumeration lists, It was decided to have Riding Vice-president, Herb Klopp, Zurich, obtain additional proxy forms from the Returning Officer to have them available at the nomination meeting. Riding members will be advised that under Section 46 of the Canada Elections Act, such students are allowed to vote by proxy. In reviewing policy statements, the changes in the share of federal government revenues coming from the cor- porate sector as compared to the contributions of individuals were discussed. It was stressed that members should clearly un- derstand that Party Leader David Lewis was not calling for increases in Corporation taxes but rather that loopholes should be closed to permit a more even distribution of revenue con- tributions to the federal govern- ment. A further meeting will be called when election committee ap- pointments have been confirmed by members concerned. week, Residential pick-ups will be Wednesday each week while commercial calls will be Monday and Friday of each week. A building permit was ap- proved for Case Pullens to build a residence and add an extension and two new units to his motel property at a total cost of $17,500, At the close of the Monday meeting, Reeve John Payne suggested something be done to beautify the village. Payne suggested flower boxes or planters be placed at the three entrances to the village. Suggestions were made that the proposed turn-around at the west end of Main street be un- dertaken under a Winter Works program.
