Senior citizens should be
able to move into any
housing complex within the
county that has vacancies,
Hensall council decided
Monday night.
Council expressed this
opinion in esponse to a letter
from County council asking
for their position.
County-wide residency for
senior citizens’ housing
would allow senior citizens to
move to housing wherever it
is available, said reeve
Harold Knight. At present
there are municipalities with
vacant senior citizens
apartments because only
residents of that
municipality are allowed to
move in, he said.
“They should be available
to anyone in the county.
They’re funded by the
province and federal
government,” he said.
Knight said supporting
county-wide residency would
not mean they would be
forcing senior citizens to
move to municipalties where
they did not want to go.
“It will just give people the
option of going there if there
is a vacancy,” he said.
The motion, which still has
to be approved at the county
level, was passed
unanimously.
In other business, council
passed a bylaw to allow the
village to borrow up to
$235,000 to meet current
expenditures until the taxes
are collected. Councillor
Paul Neilands said the
village may not have to
borrow any of the money if
several grants that are
expected come in.
Council was informed the
county apportionment of
taxes for Hensall would be
$54,285, amounting to a little
over two percent of the
county budget. Last year
Hensall paid $48,376.
The building inspector’s
report showed one building
permit had been issued. The
permit, for the value of
$87,846 is for the new fire hall
in Hensall.
Bill Baker was hired by
council to brick in the two
doorways at the west side of
the townhall.

Council at first moved to

should run the school system

said.

United church women see
Trinidad flora and fauna
Pictures of Trinidad were
shown by Mrs. Ross
Hargreaves of Thames Road
at the spring general
meeting of Hensall United
Church Women. Trinidad
was named by Columbus
when he first sighted the
island and saw the three
mountain peaks which dis
tinguish the landscape.
This is a tropical country
and vivid colours are por
trayed in the flora and birds
of the region. There are over
300 varieties of edible
bananas and they are used

fpr many purposes as well
as eating. Once the beautiful
blossoms have fruited the
tree dies down and sends up
new shoots from the ground.
Many recipes contain
bananas and coconuts which
are also prolific. Furniture
is made from the locally
grown mahogany trees and
houses are mostly built on
stilts to allow free circula
tion of air underneath.
Trinidad is, of course, also
famous for its steel bands of
drums made from old oil
barrels.
For entertainment, Betty
Beer sang four numbers,
“Blue Eyes”, “Crying in the
Rain”, “Sing me back
home” and “Why me,
Lord?” accompaning
herself on the guitar and
Mrs. Sadie Hoy and Hilda
Payne gave a dialogue, “The
Lord’s Prayer”.
The devotion "was led by
Mrs. Helen Scane and
focussed on hope and faith.
Spring and Easter each
signify hope, and faith is the
awareness of Jesus Christ as
the living Lord - the
message of the resurrection.
The test of faith is action in
a time of crisis.
