Huron will vocinote
(By Shirley J, 'Keller)
About 25-28,000 persons will
be vaccinated, against Swine Fin
in Huron County within foot.,
weeks, members of Huron County
Council learned Thursday at the
regular May session.
Deputy-reeve Bill. Dale of
SeafQrth, speaking on behalf n of
the chairman of the Board of
Health, Reeve Ed Oddleifson of
Hayfield who was absent, said it
was the board's understanding
about 5,000,000 persons would be
innoculated in Ontario within a.
four week period.
"They are going to need many
volunteers, Deputy-Reeve , Dale
continued.
The deputy-reeve then. smiled
and said that if his services are
required, he would be pleased to
volunteer to innoculate, the staff
at the court house firk, - and then
each of the coufity councillors.
It was learned the county .will
make application to the Ministry
of Health on behalf of the steering
committee of the Children's and
Adolescents' Mental Health
Services, for funds to finance the
employment of a fulltinne director
of the Huron Centre of Children,
and Youth.
• This facility was promised
the Ontario Government at the
time the facilities of Goderich
Psychiatric Hospitahwere closed:
It will be financed 1J0 per cent by
the province, but the county has
to make application for'the funds.
No site has been chosen as yet
for the facility. It is believed that
when a director is secured, that
person will m ake necessary
arrangements.
A new Chief Public Health.'
Inspector has been' engaged. He
is Ed. Harrison who begins .a Six
month probationary period; with
salary based on $17,000, per',',,
annum.
County council authorized one
member of the health unit staff to
attend a Ministry of Housing
property standards study session
in in Toronto at the end, of this
month., *.
Reeve 'Garry Ginn of "•Goderich
Township urged the health'board
to send "some of our inspectOrs."
so they can find out "exactly what
it is we do need" in the. Way,•of •
housing standardS. 4/They might be putting, us out
of our homes now," said Reeve
Bill Elston, Morris Township,"
"They may condemn our' homes
like they have the arenas."
The Executive. Committee
reported to council that the
Howick arena, built only -two',
years ago, requited addition
reinforcement according to recent
regulations.
Council agreed to forward '
request, to the Ministry of Labor
to review the criteria being used
relative to snow load aneWind
resistance of arenas in ' the
province.
"We're not worrying too Much
about our arena ever being
closed," commented. Bob GibSon,
reeve of Howick. He said the
building plans were just approved
by the department of labor two
years ago, and that the roof of the
arena 'doesn't carry any snow",
Reeve Bill Elston told*coUncil
he resented - a statement
attributed to the 'reeVe of
Goderich, Bill Clifford that the,
county representatives "love. to ,
go to conventions". He was
specifically queStiOning aboard. d
health teport Which said Dr.
Frank Mills, Huron Comity
Medical Officers of Health, had'
been authorized to attend a -
convention in Moncton ; Ndv.v-13 runswick in June.
"This is Standard pfotednre",.
said till Dale of the health board. Earlier in the session, 'a Ties; Aion was asked about an
Ontario Ministry of Social
Strvica Convention being held iii'
Oweni Sound in early ittne to
which Huron field worker" be
going.
It.' was learned there are still
' 'openings" for county
councillors who may wish 'to
attend this convention as well.
Warden Jack McCutcheon told
council it was policy that- if all the
convention places were not taken
by committee members, any
member of council could attend
any convention of his, or her
choice.
The warden further explained
the conventions are 'considered
worthwhile - educational
opportunities for" councillors who
are expected to learn all they can
to help them in their deliberations
at county council.
Miss Debbie Argyle has been
hired effective May 17 to replace
Mrs. Ivy Fisher Who has resigned
as secretary-bookkeeper for * the
Social Services office in Goderich.
Deputy-Reeve Frank Cook of
Clinton questioned whether this
position had been advertised. He
was, told, that Miss Argyle had
filled in for Mrs. Fisher during
'vacations and illness periods, and
that when secretarial help is
needed in the county offices,
many times names are merely
selected from applications on file
which have been received from
persons looking for work.
Council was pleased to note
that 50 welfare cases were
terminated in April 1976 in the
Social Services office. Only 24
new were added.
"This is the lowest number, of
cases that have been added in a
month in' recent memory",
boasted chairman W.M.William-
son, reeve of Grey Township..
John McKinnon, director of
Social Service's for Huron,
attributed • this to • better
employment opportunities,
publicity for new • welfare
regulations, and changes in the'
distribution of unemployment
benefits.
Beginning as soon as possible,
the county will be switching to the
payroll accounting services of the
Canadian Imperial Bank of
Commerce. The annual cost will
be about $6,000, but county
administrator Bill Hanley' hopes
to offset that cost by reducing the
county clerical staff by one
member within a few months.
