Social services committee chairman Lossy Fuller ad­ vised council this week that Exeter has received a grant of $2,916 under the federal government’s Young Canada Works program. Three students will be hired this week to undertake a six-week survey among local senior citizens to develop a basis for a senior citizens centre and for the provision of social, health and recreation programs. “We want to find out what they (seniors) would like us to do for them,” Mrs. Fuller advised. • She said the idea for a senior drop-in centre was greeted with enthusiasm by 20 seniors with whom her committee met last week to consider the survey to be un­ dertaken by the students. Reeve Si Simmons was somewhat critical of the plan, questioning why it would take three people up to six weeks to conduct such a study. He predicted that if the 900 or so seniors in the com­ munity were asked for their suggestions, there would be 900 different views express­ ed. Simmons thought asking opinions from 10 percent of them would be sufficient to determine their needs and wants. Councillor Jay Campbell said the program would be providing a worthwhile ex­ perience for three students and it was something that would be of use to them at a future time. “The future time will be another government job we’re creating,” Simmons replied. “It looks to me like a big government bureaucracy that’s for the birds.” Mrs. Fuller defended the study, saying that it was necessary to provide oppor­ tunities for seniors to keep busy and active and that there were many things seniors can’t cope with when they are living alone. Set plans for summer “The seniors are keen,” son added later in the Councillor Marilyn William- meeting. f FISHERMEN'S COVE RESTAURANT r AFOR INFORMATION ON in South Huron Phone 235-1834 Mutual <)nialiaSL/ We Need More Big Brothers NowlCANADIAN HEAD OFFICE • TORONTO • MSG 1V8 Fraud count is dismissed A charge against a Goderich businessman Cayley Hill of defrauding Champion Road Machinery- Ltd. of $25,000 was dismissed Thursday by provincial court Judge C.E. Perkins because of lack of evidence. Hill, former chairman of the Huron Board of Education, was accused of fraudulently taking $25,000 in travellers cheques August 25, 1975, from Champion, where he had worked for 30 years before resigning about two years ago to pursue business interests of his own. The $25,000 was part of a $75,000 payment of a private agent in Turkey was to receive for his efforts to sell several million dollars worth of Champion machinery to the Turkish government. The whereabouts of the $25,000 was raised by Revenue Canada while reviewing the company’s books last year. Hill was charged with the fraud last December. Crown Attorney Garry Hunter contended Hill, company vice-president in charge of manufacturing, was responsible for paying the $25,000 to the agent but in­ stead had kept the money. After hearing the crown’s case, Perkins said he could not see evidence” that Hill had any intention of defrauding Champion and ordered the charge dismissed. Family and Children’s Services of Huron County (FACS) have announced plans for the 1979 Summer Program. The program will be offered to any children living in the County and is totally supported by donations 'from local organizations and in­ dividuals. Last year the Agency sent 100 needy children to sum­ mer camp. This year the Agency expects even greater demands on the program. In addition to the camp program, the Agency will be planning day trips for children, and involving volunteer efforts of local high school students. John Penn, Director, said, “A donation of $40 will en­ sure a place for a child at camp this year, and we hope to raise about $4,000.” FACS would be pleased to hear from anyone willing to help with this program.
