be put into effect as soon as
possible in 21 out of Huron’s
26 municipalities.
This decision was reached
at a Huron County Council
meeting on June 30 and only
the townships of Stephen,
Howick, Morris and Grey
and the village of Brussels
will not participate reason
ing that the present arrange
ment is suitable to them.
Under this present
arrangement, municipal
ities with senior citizen
housing require vacancies to
be filled with either local
residents or people from
neighbouring townships with
whom they have signed
agreements.
In order to fill a vacancy
with a non-local person, the
Huron County Housing
Authority has to go through
a lot of red tape with the
municipalities involved. So,
last fall, the authority re
quested that, it be allowed to
place applicants anywhere
in the county, based on need.
“I believe this is a better
system,” said Huron County
Warden Gerry Ginn.
County Clerk-Treasurer,
Bill Hanly, agreed. “It
seems much more
humane,” he said explaining
that senior citizens don’t
have to go to senior citizen
housing outside their
municipalities but they have
that choice if necessary.
The Housing Authority
maintains that no one will be
forced to move to another
community for senior
citizen housing but the
changes willjmean those who
do, can move with less dif
ficulty.
Brussels is the only
municipality with senior
citizen housing units that is

Introducing
PROURtoSIVt POWER LENS
the lens with a secret.
It's no secret that, with time, almost everyone's eyes
lose some of their ability to focus properly for
reading and other near-vision tasks. This is called 1
presbyopia and when it occurs, good vision needs a
helping hand. Bifocal lenses—with a portion for dis
tant vision and a portion for near vision—were a
partial solution to the problem. But now there is
something new ... a lens that doesn't tell the world
you're getting older ... the AOLITE ULTRAVUE
Progressive Power Lens.
What makes the Ultravue lens better
than the conventional bifocal? i
For one thing, it offers superior visual proper
ties—there's no reading segment line to "get used
to" so there's no confused or split image, or sudden
(extremes in magnification. You have clear vision at
all distances, with minimal distortion around the
edges. Then there is the design of the lens itself. It
has a wide reading area,- there's no visible segment
line and it's designed to be used with the fashion
look of today. The ULTRAVUE lens is made of op
tical quality hard resin, so it is light in weight (half
the weight of glass), impact resistant, and available
in a wide range of attractive colors and tints. All in
all, the ULTRAVUE lens has the versatility to meet
your personal needs and preferences, without
sacrificing superior optical performance. Nobody
ever has to know that you're wearing a bifocal lens.
It's your secret.
