The drain is being installed at the Helen Jermyn senior citizen apartments on Sanders Street by the Ontario Housing Corporation to correct flooding problems. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said OHC had been ap- proached several times about a drain at the apartments,but of- ficials indicated it wasn't necessary. However, they changed their minds — and To increase • insurance Life Insurance for all town employees will be raised to $30,000 following a decision by Exeter council this week, but a plan to implement retirement at age 60 has been dropped. Cost of adding to the life in- surance program will be about $240 additional each month. Total cost to the town for life insurance, accidental death and dismem- berment and weekly indemnity will be $948.57 per month, Council had considered ruducing the retirement age to 60, but found that fringe benefits would be greatly reduced, "We wouldn't be doing the employees a favor," Mayor Shaw said. _ Let Us .

Kells said he learned` three weeks ago that OHC had let a contract for the drain and he immediately, advised them by letter that permission would not be granted. However, he said he soon saw "the big stick of the provincial government" and realized he would be fighting a losing battle and subsequently gave per- mission for the drain after alternative methods of ending the water problems proved un- satisfactory. Okay hiring of librarian Huron County Council has approved a request from the Library Board for the hiring of a part time professional librarian to work 15 hours per week as an assistant to the County Librarian. The new staff member will have special responsibility for in- terloans of books. The County Librarian was authorized to advertise the position of part time library assistant, and to hire a suitable applicant to work 15 hours per week at the rate of .$7.00 per hour, effective January 1, 1977. . Council also approved the 1977 Library budget in total of $347,650 subject to review of the 1977 council. Church ends grape boycott The United Church has of- ficially ended its boycott of California grapes, The United Church Observer reports in its current issue. But individual members still continue their support. An inter-church committee on the grape and lettuce boycott said that "while the democratic procedures in California are far from perfect, nevertheless a degree of industrial democracy has arrived." The goal of the boycott, sup- ported by most churches and synagogues in North America, was secret ballot union elections for farm workers. It was opposed by a number of church members in rural areas who feared it was a step to supporting farm workers unions and boycotts in Canada. "I would like to have fought that," Reeve Derry Boyle commented. Mayor Bruce Shaw said the situation was "annoying" in that OHC officials had been told by many local officials that there would be drainage problems. However, OHO refused to hook into the Sanders Street storm drain prior to the paving job. Kells Said OHC would have to put the road back in good con- dition, but Shaw said he had yet to see any paved road ever put back into A-1 shape after it had been disturbed by excavation. Councillor Ted Wright said there was no question about there being a drainage problem and said he was disturbed that the situation was not righted when OHO had a chance to do so before the street Was paved. He said council should inspect the road very carefully in the spring to see that repairs to the pavement have been undertaken satisfactorily. County approves division budget At its December meeting on Friday Huron County Council approved a 1977 budget for the Land Division Committee totalling $41,200. This is up only $200 from the 1976 budget, The budget will be subject to final review of the pew 1977 council. To date there have been 309 applications for severances in 1976 which is the second highest yearly total since the inception of the Land Division Committee, The most applications were received in 1974 when there were 348. Committee Chairman Clayton Laithwaite noted that "It can be readily seen that the world is not decreasing as anticipated. Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn asked Mr. Laithwaite if the introduction of secondary plans seemed to be having any effect on the demand for severances. According to the committee chairman fewer severances are requested where secondary plans have been put into effect.
