Ricky is shy with strangers but managed to muster up a
little smile for the photographer. Among people he knows
he is cheerful and contented, usually easy going and with
just an occasional outburst of temper when things don't
go his way.
Ricky is four, Anglo-Saxon in origin. Short and stocky,
he has light brown hair, blue eyes and fair skin.
Ricky's health is good, with only the odd attack of tonsil-
itis to bother him. He is active in play, loves to dance and
manages to invent satisfying games for himself when no-
body else is around.
Ricky always watches Sesame Street and enjoys TV car-
toons. He plays a good deal with small cars, making the
appropriate' sounds.
Though he's a sturdy boy, Ricky's mental development
is behind the average for his age and he will need special
education.
It is hoped an adopting family will be found where Ricky
will find loving warmth and where he will be able to develop
at his own pace.
To inquire about adopting Ricky, please write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto' M4P 2H2. For general
Adoption information, please contact your local Children's
Aid Society.

When the Huron County Board
of Health placed their 'report be-
fore members of County Coun-
cil . last Friday one clause of the
page long summary sparked con-
siderable debate. The Board
asked council to reinstate plumb-
ing inspection.
On several occas ions during
recent County Council sessions
this matter had been considered.
As a result the Board of Health,
with the co-operation of Dr.Frank
Mills, Medical Officer of Health
for the County, made a detailed
study of the situation and pointed
out to the council that at the
present time, under by-law 58 of
1961, the county does hanie au-
thority to carry out plumbing in-
spection.
"At the time Dr. Evans was
Medical Olfiqer of Health," the
report noted, "the Board of
Health felt it necessary to our-
tail' plumbing inspection and did
so at a meeting on August 7,
1970, due to the lack of Staff."
Following earlier discussions
on the matter the Board had asked
the municipalities of the county
to continent on the Situation and
after reviewing these comments
and 44 0onSidering the disctiSsion
that took place at other sessions
of County Council and at the
Huron County Municipal Officers'
ASsociation Meeting" decided to
make three "recommendations to
County Council.
The Board recommended that
plumbing inspection be reinstated
in Huron,
It also recommended that
if antheriZation be granted by
County Council to engage an ad-
MiniStrator, One field worker
with the possibility of a second
worker at a later date, and a
teeretary."
Board Of Health further re
ctatteended that the present by..
law (by-law 58 of 1061) be
dated and 6iibitatted to County
Council atlater date for en,
datir
The Board's report also
stressed that this department
Would be a separateltinetion -and
would not necessarily be under°
the jurisdiction of the Board of
• Health but would work in close
co-operation with the Medical
Officer of Health and his related
staff."
In their comments back to
the Board of Health survey the
Huron municipalities were ap-
proxiMately divided equally in
their reaction to plumbing in-
spection and the proposal to carry
it out.
An accounting of the township
reaction was attached to the
Board's report to County Council.
Ashfield opposed plumbing in-
spection noting that they felt more
information was needed. They
added they were not opposed to
the inspection but felt that the
cost of administration would be
More than the estimated$40,000,
Colborne faVored the idea not-
ing that the repairing and renew-
ing of existing appliances should
be left exempt though and that a
fee should be stated for septic
tank inspections.
Goderich Township approved
in principle the plumbing inspec-
tion scheme at the County level
but added that before formal ap,
proval would be given there

Commons.

John Turner in the May 1972
Budget, the tax on manufacturing
and processing industries will be

ENERGY STUDY
Energy Minister Donald Mac-
donald has begun a, tour of Wes-
tern Canada to hear the reaction
of provincial governments and
resource industries to the federal
government's study on energy
tabled in the House of Commons
last week.
The report studied energy
prices and consumption over the
next 30 years, the effect of the
U.S. energy crisis on Canada,
the proposed Mackenzie V alley
pipeline, the possibility of a
government-owned petroleum
corporation, Eastern Canada's
dependence on oil imports.
The study concluded that
Canada has sufficient energy sup-
plies, at least until the year
2050. However, the price of
energy will likely increase.

ing $15,00.
