Reeves Derry Boyle of Exeter and Reeve Allan Campbell of. McKillop led the fight to de- molish the wall. Both men drew attention to the fact that at a previous meeting council had agreed to take down, the wall and build to the east of the present building. Both men expressed fears that the cost of preserv- ing the jail would fall back on the County of Huron sometime in the future. “we have to look at econ- omics," said Reeve Boyle. 'His- tory is fine. It was one of my best subjects in school. But I'm afraid someone will be corn- ing to the county to help maintain the jail." "There's no way I'm going to be bulldozed into something like that," complained Boyle. "If the rest of county council feels that way, I'm sorry for them." Reeve Campbell asked, "Who is going to finance keeping this jail as a museum? Is this going to come back in for the county to maintain and staff?" Reeve' Campbell also re- minded council about the water problems which had been en- countered at the assessment office basement excavation and could only be rectified with sump pumps. He also deplored tearing up the asphalt in the assessment office parking lot, laid at con- siderable expense to the county. Architect Don Snider was present at the meeting and said the water problems had, already been anticipated and noted that, plans had bee n made to overcome further complications by raising the basement floor from si x to eight inches. Mr. Snider also said that the Cost for the addition would run about the same - (estimated $150,000) - and the overall space would remain exactly the same, 3,150 square feet on each of the two floors and the base- ment. Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton, chairman of the property com- mittee, told, council that in his opinion time had become a factor for, consideration. He said it was his feeling, and the feeling of the majority of members of the property committee, that, if the county held out to build the addition to the east of the assess- ment office, The Save The Jail Society would tie' things up in the courts for enough time that the assessment office would be moved out of Huron. ' "I'm convinced the assess- ment office will be moved if we do not go ahead and build the addition now," stated Deputy- Reeve Stan Profit, Goderich. "The only one sure way it will remain is if we build the addition right away". -- "If you're not fed up with arguing and bickering, and I might add court action, go against the assessment office inHuron," he said. Reeve Everett McIlwain asked whether street parking to be pro- vided along Gloucester Terrace could be reserved strictly for assessment office staff use. He predicted a "conflict" when and if the jail became a public attrac- tion. "There's considerably more parking to be provided than is required at the assessment office." stated Warden Roy P atti- son. Deputy-reeve Harold Wild of Wingham accused Goderich Town Council of "pussyfooting" on the jail issue. He said he was pleased, though, to see some members had the "courage of their convictions" and remained firm on their stand regarding the jail. Reeve Deb Shewfelt of Goder- inn countered by saying that even the provincial government of late had found it necessary to do some "pussyfooting". He said the Town of Goderich had made an offer to take over the jail and noted that while he didn't want to see Goderich "get huhg with a large tax bill" he felt certain the jail could be utilized in a profit- able way for the' benefit of all. Those councillors who voted In favor of the motion to pre- . serve the jail wall and build the ' assessment office addition to the • north of the present building were John Baker, Harold Campbell, Joe Dietrich, Lloyd Ferguson, R. Gibson, Gerry Ginn, Joe Hoffman, Mrs. HelenJermyn, Harold Lobb, J. A. Mair, Walter McBride, Jack McCutcheon, Everett Mc- Ilwain, Anson McKifiley, H. Mc- Michael, H. Mulvey, Ed.

CON SUMERS' CORNER ° NtA7..7s.. 0 The way to aman's heart may be through the sewing ,machine instead of the stomach, especially with today's high clothing prices. Many women and girls have found that stitching up a vest, jacket, trousers, jumpsuit or robe for her man has endeared her to him. Even though sewing for men has been an American tradition, it has taken on new meaning with the home sewing boom. And the new patterns with easy to follow instruction guides have alldwed even the beginning seamstress to sew for her brother, boyfriend., husband or father. Fabrics are more exciting, there's a full range of synthetics and blends that make creating men's fashions more alluring. Color, textures, and patterns add new, dimensions to clothing for the • stronger sex. The easy care aspect of the fabrics is appealing to both men and women. Before beginning such a venture, take a fewkey measure- ments in order to select the cor- rect size pattern. Chest, waist and length measurements are very important. (Continued from Page 1) slaughter cattle weigh 575 pounds , we find that the total beef imports to date are down in fact 4 per cent from last year. This is because we are importing far less slaughter cattle from the Americans than we did last year." He said if the beef people continued to make statements that were not factual they would only hurt their own cause. "I don't think they are fair as far as I'm concerned. I hope my remarks tonight serve to set the record straight," he said. On the subject of food pro- duction Mr. Whelan said that farmers have very little protect- ion from the weather, even under the crop insurance plan. He said his department was working with the provinces on crop in- surance programs. "As far as I'm concerned there is not other industry that competes with elements like- the producers of food." "Food in Canada is • a bargain," he said, "Canadians spend less of their income on food than people in any other nation in the world, except per- haps the United States. And. I say 'perhaps' with good reason, because I don't know if the United States includes government subsidies in its totals. Farm subsidies there are about three to four times as high as in' ' Canada and U.S. Department of Agriculture also subsidizes con- sumers with school hinch pro- grams and food stampprograms. Mr. Whelan said that food in Canada is a bargain because the quality and built-in con- venience of the products have been steadily improving and be- cause there has been a consis- tent trend in Canada to spend less and less of total take-home `pay on food. He said that although prices have been rising, they are ' not rising as fast as' prices in other industrialized nations, in- cluding the United States. "I recognize the fact that people on low or fixed incomes cannot afford price increases, but it is not fair to expect farmers to shoulder this burden alone." Mr. Whelan said he stands by the statement attributed to him that he is happy that farm prices are finally moving up to reason- able profit margins because he thinks it is high time they started to get a decent return on their investment and for their hard work. "The plain and simple fact is that they must begin to get a better returnor we won't have any farmers left," he stated. Mr. Whelan said the U.S. has asked its farmers 'to produce more food, and he has asked the farmers to do the same in Canada, because if production is not in- creased food prices will keep right on rising, not only in Canada but right around the world. He said the best way to increase, supplies is to get some profit on a more regular basis to the farmers. M. Whelan outlined a number of programs the federal govern- ment has to support the agri- cultural industry and the farmers such as research organization for agriculture in Canada, the federal-provincial crop insur- ance program, record of Per- fOrmance testing programs for livestock so that producers can improve the quality of their herds and win new markets, etc. He concluded by urging that farmers get a decent profit, that farmers and the• agriculture industry be supported and helped to get a fairer deal in economy and ' society. "After all, food is the most important thing you buy," he said. Mr. Whelan was introduced by Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron-Bruce, and thanked by Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron. Gordon McGavin of Walton, who retired as president of the Huron Federal Riding after seven years in office, was succeeded by Colin Campbell of W Ingham. John Broadfoot of Brucefield was elected executive vice- president. Other officers in- clude presidents 'of provincial riding association within ,or partly within the Huron federal riding.
