Congratulations! &:,rrection In last week's Ripley news part of the story regarding the Brown Swiss was missed.

' rights to ask • you to smoke outside,but you're definitely infringing on our rights by smoking in here." Tom Cunningham, reeve of Hullett Town- ship, confessed he was "one of the culprits who started this"v He has bronchitis and asthma, he explained, and hasspent very uncomfortable evenings following sessions sandwiched between,two . smokers. Morris Reeve Bill Elston suggested a compromise,. proposing that smokers can be seated .in one , corner of the .room. and .::non-smoker. in another. 'He used to smoke . and knows ` how it feels to be deprived .of a smoke, he said, Grant Stirling, reeve of Goderich Town= • ship, had the .last word. "I sat on county council when cigars were 10 cents apiece, and these people here today .don't know. anything about: smoke!" he declared..: By Henry Hess 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..
