council has been notified by
the ministry of tran
sportation and com
munications that it would not
approve a request for an
additional entranceway to
Vanastra by opening up 7th
avenue to Highway 4.
At a meeting Tuesday
night, council learned from
the ministry’s letter that a
similar entranceway

paid by' the municipality of
the township of Tucker^mith
or by a developer wanting
the entranceway.
Council was disappointed
that the province would not
pay the costs, which they
estimated might be in the
neighbourhood of $200,000.

Council is having the pump
on No. 2 well in Egmondville
checked to see if it can be
repaired or if a new pump
will be needed. To be
checked out too, is whether
the well is good enough to
take a bigger pump. The
present pump with a
capacity to pump 35 gallons
a minute is now only able to
pump 12 gallons a minute,
according to road
superintendent Allan
Nicholson who manages the
Egmondville system.
In his report to council Mr.
Nicholson reported
township road signs
been damaged in the
two weeks.

Arena recreation association
formed to canvass the
surrounding area of Clinton
to raise funds for a new floor
at the arena. Represen
tatives from Goderich and
Hullett Townships were also
in attendance with those
from Clinton. Mr. Falconer
said he was asked to canvass
Tuckersmith for funds but he
refused to do this. He said he
had done it for the original
building fund. He said no
exact figures were given for
the cost of the new flooring
but he heard a rumour it was
about $140,000.
Councillor Robert
Fotheringham said he was
not willing either, “If that’s
what they want to do in
Clinton, let them do it”, he
said. Councillor Robert
Drummond said he was not
in favour of actively can

floor.
Neither Reeve Sillery nor
deputv-reeve Bell offered to
canvass. All seemed to agree
that no other municipality
helped them to support

“1 don’t think we should
appoint anyone. If Clinton
wants to canvass let them do
it,” Robert Fotheringham
stated.

Most taxes
are collected
At the regular August
meeting, Usborne township
council learned that 92 per
cent of the 1978 interim tax
roll had been collected. This
amounts to a total of $209,-
214.20. The report was made
by tax collector Harry
Strang.
Council took no action on a
notice from the Huron Coun
ty Board of Education that
the 1978 education requisi
tion for Usborne would be in
creased by $42 as the result
of a reduction on the
Bayfield levy.
Building inspector Doug
■ Triebner reported that six
building permits had been
issued during July for an es
timated value of $67,500.
Ontario Home Renewal
Plan inspector Bill Routly
reported that advances of
$2,000 had been made and
three projects completed.
Routly who also doubles as
the drainage inspector
reported the completion of
four tile drainage jobs to a
loan total of $9,400.
Grants of $100 to the
Huron Farmstead and Home
Improvement competition
and $25 to the Huron Country
Playhouse were approved.
The report on the
Winchelsea municipal drain
was provisionally adopted as
ratepayers concerned seem
ed to be in agreement.
Two other petitions for
municipal drains were
accepted.
An application of W.L,
Allen for a requisition drain
on the south half of Lot 15,
Concession 9 was referred to
engineer C.P. Corbett for a
report.
Council accepted a peti
tion of J.W. Gardiner and E.
Harris for a municipal drain
and referred it to engineer
A.J. DeVos of Spriet
Associates for a survey and
report.
That view was expressed
last Tuesday night in Bayfield
at a meeting of a group of
Huron County residents who
have taken the name
“Concerned Citizens” and
who have dedicated them
selves to the task of cleaning
up the literature being
taught in the county’s
schools.
A report on the meeting by
Teresa Courtney states that
every weekly newspaper in
Huron County was contacted
and asked to print various
word-for-word excerpts from
the books being objected to
by the group.
Each of the newspapers,
according to report, refused
to print the excerpts.
The “Concerned Citizens" » Tuesday’s meeting does not
also discussed what it
considers to have been the
biased reporting of the
weekly newspapers which
arose out of a meeting held
at Central Huron Secondary
School in Clinton on June 13.
The public meeting, at which
members of the Writers’
Guild defended those books
that have come under at
tack, was fairly reported by
the newspapers, according
to the report.
“Not counting the mem
bers of the Writer’s Guild,
not counting the school
teachers and the members of
the schoolboard, but coun
ting only the taxpayers of
Huron County, there were
approximately 80 percent at
this meeting in favour of
having these books taken out
of the high schools,” Mrs.
Courtney writes.
“Why was only one side of
this public meeting reported
on?” the report asks.
The report of last
“Concerned Citizens”.
The purpose of
Bayfield meeting, according
to the report, was to review
what steps have already
been taken in the fight to
have certain books removed
from high school libraries,
and to plan future action.
Lloyd Barth, RR 3 Blyth,
was elected president of the
“Concerned Citizens” with
