The Ontario Housing Cor-
poration (014C) on behalf of the
Ministry of Housing will conduct
a survey to determine the need
and demand for senior citizen
housing in Village of Hensall and
the Townships of Usborne and
Hay.
A research analyst will
estimate the number of senior
citizens living in the community
whose housing is inadequate or
who are spending more than they
can afford on accommodation.
The demand in the area for
such Ontario Housing Cor-
poration accommodation on a
rent-geared-to-income basis will
be determined from information
gathered through advertising,
direct mail questionnaires, in-
terviews and applications on file
with the local housing managers.
The study, which will begin
soon, was requested by the
Municipal Council of the Village
of Hensall.
It will include an assessment of
economic trends, growth factors
and current and future housing
needs in the municipality.
Letters outlining OHC's senior
citizen rental housing program
will be mailed to senior citizens,
asking them if they wish to
participate. If an interested
senior citizen does not receive a
questionnaire by mail, he or she
may obtain one from The Clerk's
office, Village of Hensall, Hen-
sail, Ontario, NOM 1XO.
A typical senior citizen
apartment consists of a bedroom,
living room, bathroom and a
kitchen which is equipped with a
stove and refrigerator, In larger
cities senior citizen ac-
commodation may be provided in
high-rise buildings, but in most
communities the typical senior
citizen development is a one or

After it receives the result of
the survey, the municipality can
initiate the development process
by adopting a resolution asking
OHC to provide the required
accommodation.
Senior citizen housing is
erected at no capital cost to the
Municipality. The Federal
Government, through Central
Mortgage and Housing Cor-
poration, lends OFIC 90 percent of
the capital cost and the province
lends (MC the balance. Both
governments are repaid by OHC
with interest.
OHC makes an annual grant to
the municipality to cover normal
municipal taxes. The Federal
Government. pays half the cost of
rent subsidies, the Provincial
Government pays 421 2 percent,
and the Municipality 71 .2 percent.
Records were broken left and
right at the Hensall Spring Fair
and Beef Feeder Calf Club sale on
Tuesday night but according to
Gladys McGregor of RR 3 Kip-
pen, fair secretary, the price paid
for the Grand Champion of the
calf competition was rather
unique.
Harry Winters of Huron
Tractor paid $1.45 per pound on
the hoof for Bill Kinsman's 893
pound calf, considerably higher
than the $1.30 per pound the
Grand Champion demanded last
year, At the 1974 fair the top price
paid was $1.23.
—Phis year's price even beats
the Queen's Guineas for the past
six or seven years." said Mrs.
McGregor. "It was, quite a sale
and should make interest even
higher for the calf club members
and the prospective buyers for
next year's fair."
The Reserve Champion, shown
by Mary Jane McGregor, also
fetched a record breaking price.
Ken and George Parker of
Parker and Parker of Hensall
topped the bidding at $1.40 per
pound for the second place calf,
Results in the finishing com-
petition, following the Grand
Champion and Reserve Cham-
pion, were Mark McGregor, Paul
llogarth, David Sturgeon, Hugh
Ryan, Lyle Kinsman and Robert
McGregor.
Top gainers were Hugh Ryan
with a record 445 pound gain
along with Steve McGregor, Bill
Kinsman, Gary Hogarth, Fay
Carnochan, Paul Hogarth, Mary
Jane McGregor and Michael
