Wednesday night, Mel . Graham secretary- i *treasurer was granted per­ mission by the council to ob­ tain debentures of not over $150,000 for expansion. However, before the debentures are issued 10 percent of the independent telephone’s system must be in favor of the extension. They will vote on the matter at the annual meeting to be held on March 29, after which Tuckersmith council will issue or not issue the debentures. Graham noted to council that the extension will in­ clude 280 new lines, which should make a total of some 700 lines. The additional lines should service any new subscribers for the next five years. In addition, some of the debenture money will be used to bury all the service cables. This, Graham noted will cut down on trouble calls. In the past, just the bad services have been buried, but now the telephone workmen plan to go up and down -each road and bury them all. Graham explained that in 1976 expansion of 100 lines was put into the Bayfield of­ fice. At that time it was presumed that approximate­ ly 25 lines would be used a year, however some 50 lines were used instead. Therefore the expansion only lasted half of its ex­ pected four years. “It will keep increasing,” Graham warned, “You can’t supply services if you don’t have equipment.” Graham also noted that with the new expansion the main office, in the old possibilities of obtaining a community college student to work for the township in the summer. The decision was made after correspondence was received from the Ministry of Treasury and Economics outlining a summer work project which enables college students studying surveying or municipal ad­ ministration courses to get some practical experience. Under the program a stu­ dent in these courses may be hired for a maximum of 20 man weeks. The ministry will pay 80 percent or a max­ imum of $125 per student man week. Clerk McLachlan explain­ ed the worthiness of the program to the rest of coun­ cil and noted the assignments that such a stu­ dent could cover, including the updating maps of the Egmondville water system, compromising, a plan of Egmondville and finding lot sizes in Vanastra that don’t meet by law criteria. “There’s alot of work we could put them to and it would help the municipality,” Clerk McLachlan added. A motion was carried to hire Margaret Tugwell of Clinton to work in the .......Tuckersmith Clerk’s office, The county plans to' part time at $3.^5 an hour, charter a bus on February 22 with the plan of returning the next day.

In other business, Clerk Jack McLachlan was given permission to look into the Farmers plan own convention Area farmers plan to take part in a counter meeting to the national food conference organized by the Canadian government. The purpose of this meeting is according to Peter Hannam, the president of the Ontario Federation, to, “clarify the farmer’s need with respect to the present and future profitable sur­ vival of farming in Canada to the Canadian people.” “The Huron Federation of Agriculture considers the small number of farm producers invited to take part in the federal con­ ference an insult to the farming community.” says Allan Walper, the Huron county president. The OFA has invited the Prime Minister, to attend the meeting, because they find that only in this way they can bring the seriousness of the situation to the attention of government and public. increase membership fees of 5.35 per­ cent will be paid by Huron- Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board this year to the three education associations to which it belongs.
