Times-Advocate, 1978-04-13, Page 18Page 18 Times-Advocate, April 13, 1978 Leave it to educators 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.

The letter included excerpts from the books which the league labelled as por­ nographic. “We are all aware of the problem of pornography in the movies, T.V., magazines, etc. However, we feel the vast majority of parents are unaware there is a problem in our own high schools,” the letter read. “Unless we, the parents, voice our objections to the school board, teachers, MPPs etc. concerning material used in schools, this serious problem can only accelerate,” the league wrote. Several councillors said the type of books mentioned in the letter were not in use when they were in school. “I’m not a lawyer and I’m not a school teacher, but I know that this is por­ nography,” said Reeve Harold Knight after he read the excerpts. Councillor Bev Bonthron said the excerpts in the letter of at the the BONTHRON'S HOME FURNISHINGS & Hensail backs Huron board Members of Hensall council voted unanimously Monday night to back the Huron County Board of Education in their dispute with the secondary school teachers.

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.
