Surplus Forecast by Report Of Clerk to County Council GODERICH—Huron county council at its final session of the year received and referred to the finance committee Clerk - treasurer Berry's report to Sep- tember 30. General account showed a surplus of $13,357, and highway account a deficit of $5, 928. "I have been assured by the county engineer," Mr. Berry said, "that by the completion of his program the deficit will have been depleted, and pos- sibly this account will end up with a surplus. I feel that the general financial situation for this county is very sound, and I am expecting a surplus which can only be determined once the highway program is com- pleted. As far as the general account is concerned, I would imagine that the surplus will be somewhere around the fig- ure shown at present." In connection with the re- serve fund for hospital purposes, the clerk -treasurer estimated that total investment by Dec em- ber 31 would be $86,000. "In 1962," he reported, "we paid the Clinton Hospital $40, 000. To date, we have earned $1,159 in interest. Our next commitment will be to Jack Gorrie Is Named to Board J. D. Gorrie, Wingham, Purina Chow salesman for this area, has received Purina's highest sales honor, — mem- bership on the General Sales - manager's Advisory Board, — it has been announced at thecom- pany's headquarters in St. Louis. Mr. Gorrie's membership on the board came as a result of his record last year of sales elle service to livestock and poultry feeders through the Purina deal- ers of this area. He gave wide credit to the Purina dealers of his area for this honor. the Seaforth Hospital in 1993. By that time, however, we will have a further $50., 000 which should be allocated in our 1963 budget. Therefore, we shall have sufficient money to pay the Seaforth Hospital grant when eligible." Administration of justice .costs and child welfare costs are lower than expected, and revenue of slightly over $2,000 was derived from investment of surplus funds. Warden George McCutcheon had on his desk a trophy award- ed him as runner-up in the war- dens' class at the international plowing match. "Everyone who was there from Huron coached me," he acknow- ledged. Ed. Rowlands, manager of the Goderich branch of British Mortgage and Trust, presented the warden with the key used to formally open the new building here in September. Council will send a letter to the clerk of Brussels suggest- ing that consideration be given to having the warden returned, as member of county council next year, "in order that this municipality and the county of Huron may benefit by thebusi- FEATURE PACKED ...

Smith of Turn- berry and Reeve Ivan Haskins of Howick, and carried with applause, Acknowledging the council' congratulations upon his ap- pointment as minister of high- ways, Hon. Charles Mac - Naughton wrote; "The responsi- bility will. make inroads into the time I will have available in the riding, but I assure you I will endeavor to represent Huron to the best of my ability. Dr, R. M. Aldis, M.O.H., in his report referred to a suc- cession of events which includ- ed a smallpox case in Toronto in late summer. The disease had been acquired in Brazil, but there was much anxiety re- garding the patient's contacts. " To those officials, mostly in the travel business, who had often protested about the un- necessary restrictions of the International Quarantine regu- lations," Dr. Aldis added, "this incident was a severe shock."

EMO OfficersAttend Study On Emergency Welfare Crawford Douglas, co-ordin- ator for the Wingham Commun- ity Group under Emergency Measures Organization, was in Huntsville from Sunday to Thurs• day of last week attending a provincial Welfare Orientation course. Norman Welwood also spent two days at the first of the week on the same course. The studies and discussions were held at the Ontario Fire Marshal's College. Purpose of the course was to further acquaint EMO personnel with the organization of the welfare services which are being established for use in the event of an emergency created by nuclear attack in the Canadian or northern U. S. areas. The entire country has been divided into areas according to the type of damage whichcould reasonably be expected. Huron County is a reception area, the idea being that this district would not likely be singled out as a target for nuclear bombs, but would be expected to ac- :.ept persons from the metro- politan target areas after the attack. FIVE SERVICES The general department of welfare covers a wide range of services under the EMO plan. Those particularly under study at Huntsville were feeding, lodging, clothing, registration and inquiry and personal ser- vices. Norman Welwood has been named Emergency Welfare Services co-ordinator for the Wingham Community Group, and in the event of emergency would be expected to have his assistants ready for instant ac- tion. In all probability the organization of this department would include sub -chiefs in the welfare branch with headquar- ters in the villages and town- ships which comprise the local group, along with the town of Wingham. The officers at the course were informed that plans have been completed by the federal government for the handling. of all supplies and commodities in the event of attack. All foodstuffs, clothing, fuel, in fact every necessity of life would be "frozen" and immed- iate rationing and allocation to those in greatest need would commence. Such action would be under the direction of the War Supplies Agency. YOU CAN SURVIVE Mr. Douglas said that one of the most important aspects of EMO work is educating thepub- lic to the knowledge that nuc- lear fallout would not mean certain death to those within its range. Many, in fact most, would definitely survive if they were not within the blast or heat radius of a bomb, but he stressed that all must be made aware of the sort ofpre- cautions which have to be taken. Most homes will not have the type of fall -out shelters which will provide maximum protection, but every house- holder should understand that the ordinary basement offers much more safety than the up- per floors of his dwelling. Cel- lar windows can be sealed with two feet of earth thrown up on the outside. If a supply of food and water is provided in ad- vance and there is even a crude form of toilet and sanitation .facilities a family could pro- tect itself with reasonablesafe- ty for several days. RULE OF SEVENS The toxic effects of radia- tion from radio -active dust de- crease quite rapidly. Authori- ties have found that there is a definite scale of decreasing radiation and they have applied to it the "rule of sevens". As an example, if fallout happen- ed to be 1,000 Roentgens per hour immediately after fallout commenced, seven hours later it would have decreased "to 100 Roentgens per hour. In 49 hours (two days) it would be down to 10 R. p. h. A heal individual can sustain abot 75 R.p.h. without harmful fects. The importance of this formation is to impress upo every person the fact that is no necessity to have a fa istic outlook about the eve tuality of nuclear fallout, •would not mean certain dea so the steps for self-protecti 'which can be taken now ase prime, importance. Local EMO service heads will be meeting again thin end to make further plans the complete organization which is being built up in Wingham Community Grot Work Starts on Apartment Bldg Workmen this week star the excavation for the mews for Citizens' apartment buil ing on Edward St. Schantz Hicks Construction of Kitch er are the general contracto on the job. The building is being erected on the former tennis court immediately w of the town park. Announcement has been made in Ottawa that the fed al government has approved loan of $60, 274.00 under th National Housing Act for the Wingham project. The loan will be taken by Twin Pines Apartments Limited, a subsi Lary of United Co-operative; of Ontario, which is the age cy under which the building being financed. The Kinsmen Club of Wi ham provided the incentive a study of the need for low - rental housing here, and the club is financing a share of cost. The neW building will pr vide seven apartments for single persons and four one - bedroom apartments. Rents will be $44,00 per month fo the single units and $54.00 f the one -bedroom type.
