nobody else to decide whether he smokes
andwhere.
if the majority . outlaws smoking in the
Council chambers, it will have to be prepared
to hold council meetingsin the men's room,
because that's where all the smokers will be
clustered, he warned.
He also said you can educate people not to
smoke but you can't legislate it, pointing out
it didn't work with liquor during prohibition.
"If youdon't want smokers in here, then
you go to all the townships at election time
and have them elect .non-smokers."
He was backed by Reeve . Bill Dale of
Seated'', a pipe smoker, who said he intends
to keep on smoking regardless where he is.
"If you don't want me to smoke itt here, I
will leave the chamber." ,
On the other side of the coin, Reeve Paul
Steckle of Stanley Township pointed out no-
body's saying a personcan't smoke, "only
that within these four walls we don't want
you smoking."
Some members have asked to have their
seats changed, because they are bothered by
smoke, he explained. _•

uncomfortable evenings following sessions

Huronview, Huron County's home for the
aged, is being called upon more and more to
fill the function of a nursing home, and it has'
been adjusting. to meet the ',challenge,
Administrator Wayne : Lester told county
council last week.
The majority of. people "admitted to.
'Huronview today are people whoneed more
nursing care,he explained. Consequently: a
number of beds in the Normal Care area
were not being' used.
To cope with the need, the. entire 38 beds
of Ground Floor North have .been ' switched to
heavy : bed care, with' around-the-clock
staffing, he said.
He reported that as -of last week, 296 beds
at Huronview were occupied '.and only 44
were empty. By this week he expected, to
have five of those filled, he added.
He said that while last Month there were
39 names on the list, this month there are 21;
some people died and a lot were admitted to
the >home.
He told councillors to 'expect questions
why:" people have been movedaround in ,
Huronview, explaining it was to accommo-
date the additional nursing care.,
He also warned council it faces a bill of
$100,000 to replace the heating system in the
Normal Car wing sometime within the next
two to three years.
The system which was installed in 1953,
has sprung some leaks, he said, and while it
can be repaired temporarily, there is no
guarantee how long the repairs will hold,. He
suggested council should start planning to
replace it in 1983..
