ation meeting. The reeve, dep-
uty reeve and 1962 councillors

the meeting, as did public util-
ities commissioner and public
school board trustees,
"I represented our board at
a meeting in Stratford of the.
Associated High School Board
of Ontario," Kenneth Johns
said, "to see if something
could be done to level out sal-
ary schedules for teachers.
During the past 14 years there
has been a tremendous change
in teachers' salaries, and I was
happy to see them get more,
but at present I believe they are
well taken care of."
Trustee Brewer mentioned
numerous championships won
by teams from the Wingham
School. He reported student
enrolment of 769, with 30
teachers and a part-time music

The Handicapped
Often Qualified
Officers of the National Em-
ployment Service find jobs for
qualified workers who are dis-
abled or otherwise handicapped.
This is done not because these
workers are handicapped, but
because they are qualified. The
NES studies all fortis of voca-
tional training so that it cansug-
gest suitable training for the
handicapped person. Employers
now realize that the irtiportant
thing about the handicapped
worker is not what he has iost,
but what is left and what he can

REEVE ADAIR
' Reeve J. Roy ,Adair extend-
ed his thanks for an acclama'
tion and reported chiefly on
county council affairs as they
relate to the town. He armour?
ced that the International Plow.
ing Match will be held in
Huron County three or four
years hence. Mr. Adair said
he had served on the Warden's
Committee and spoke of the
council's decision to do away
with the custom of electing
wardens from Liberal and Con-
servative camps as a step for-
ward.
"Now," he said, "we can
decide solely on the basis of
who is the best man for the
job."
County finances, said the
reeve, are in excellent shape,
all 'committees expecting to
end the year within their bud-
gets, County highways will be
kept within the budget figure
for the first time in years.
Clerk Renwick spoke for
Deputy Reeve Joe Kerr, who
was unable to be present, but
who promised, through the
speaker, to serve again to the
best of his ability.
DEBT OF GRATITUDE
Councillor Gordon Buchanan
said that 1962 had been a
wonderful year to serve on
council, even though it had
some very important discus-
sions and decisions. He com-
mended the mayor for his
guidance of municipal affairs
and said that the community
owes him a debt of gratitude
for his work. Mr. Buchanan
said that the mayor had asked
him to serve the town again
this coming year and he had
agreed to do so.
As chairman of the industrial
committee Mr. Buchanan said
he had very little to report.
Eighty of 110 industries locat-
ing in Ontario in the past year
had selected city sites, which
indicates one of our difficulties
here. He said there was no
further word from the Dunlop
Company, which owns a tract
of land in the north-east sector
of Wingham. The speaker also
stated that efforts should be
made to locate an agricultural
industry of some sort, for our
town would provide a natural
location.
Mr. Buchanan spoke of the
great accomplishments which
have been achieved in the
development of the Riverside
Park. He also mentioned that
due credit should be given to
the Berry Door• Co. , Ltd. , for
their interest in the project.
BIG BUILDING YEAR
Warren Callan, who has
served as chairman of the
town's finance committee said
that 1962 has been highly suc-
cessful from the money stand-
point. Tax arrears are the
lowest in many years, build-
ing permits totalled over a
million dollars in aggregate
value, which is a fair baro-
meter of the town's growth.
Mr. Callan said that he felt
over 90 per cent of the people
who use our streets are happy
with the introduction of park-
ing meters. He also reported
that all of the committees of
Council had kept spending
within their budgets.
Councillor Len Crawford
reported on the work done at
the cemetery, of which he is
committee chairman, He
stated his willingness to serve
the town for another, year.
Councillor G. W. Cruick-
shank said that he believes
the town should be spending
more money on some aspects
of its responsibilities. He
mentioned the hazard created
when pedestrians are forced to
walk on the roadways in winter
months and said he felt at
least one side of each street
should be cleared of snow. Mr.
Cruickshank also referred to
the fine work which can be ac-
complished in recreation and
stated his belief that Wingham
should have a full time direc-
tor and said that he would sup*
port this Stand in council next
year,
Councillor D. C. Nasrnith,
chairman of the works eommit^'
tee, which is responsible for
the town streets, said that his
department, of necessity,
spends the most .money, He
said they had :tried to do a
good job and that it would be
necessary to spend somewhat
conservatively .during the cow"
ing year because of the big
program carried out in 1962.
Mr. Nasmith said he would
like to see John Street widened
and re -paved.
The speaker commended
the town clerk as an able ad-
ministrator and expressed his
appreciation to the town emr
pioyees for their efforts on jobs
which are often done in adverse
weather conditions. He en-
dorsed the mayor's remarks
about the finanoial position of
the town.
Mr. Nasmith said that he
had intended to retire from
council, but due to the lack of
candidates, felt obligated to
serve for another year. How-
ever, he said he would not be
able to act as chairman of the
works committee.
FIRE COMMITTEE
Councillor Al Williams, as
chairman of the fire committee
expressed public appreciation
of the chief, Jim Carr, and
deputy chief, Dave Crothers,
as well as the members of the
brigade. Mr. Williams said,
"If we had to pay these men
for the services they render we
wouldn't be able to afford any-
thing else." As secretary of
the Riverside Parks board he
mentioned the fine co-opera-
tion that body had received
from the council,
DeWitt Miller, acclaimed
for re-election to the Public
Utilities Commission, compli-
mented the town council on its
excellent work and leadership
throughout the year. He men-
tioned the growth of the elec-
trical plant handled by the
PUC, as its services are expan-
ded to meet the needs of new
sub -divisions. "Consumption
is increasing every year, " he
said, The water department
is in sound financial position
and will now aid in the cost
of the sewage program. Water
mains, he said, have also been
extended to the new housing
developments and some of the
older mains have been replaced.
HIGH SCHOOL
Bob Wenger, a member of
the Wingham District High
School Board, said that secon-
dary school education is one
of the most important aspects
of life in this community. He
summarized receipts and ex-
penditures of the school board,
which in both cases amount to
nearly $400, 000 this year. The
school, he said, is used by many
groups in the community, such
as 4-H clubs and other young
people's groups. The speaker
also referred to the fact that
WDHS students have won two
Ontario Scholarships in the
past two years, for which very
high standings are required.
This year's winner, Mary
Hamilton, had the highest
standing of any pupil entering
Assumption University.
Mr. Wenger said that the
board had heard some critism
of the fact that high school
students are often seen down-
town in the afternoons. He
explained that the last period
of the day is an activity period
and the students are sometimes
not required to be at the school,
Among the achievements of
the students the speaker Men-
tioned football, curling and
golfing championships. Meals
in the school cafeteria are pro-
vided for the students at 300.
The new vocational wing to
be added to the high school
will cost nearly a million dol-
lars, to be paid for by federal
and provincial governments.
He outlined the new facilities
which will be provided and
predicted that operating costs
would be increased, but that a
much broader scope of educa-
tion would be available,
CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
Mr. Wenger also Spoke for
the newly -formed Maitland
Conservation Authority, of
which he is the town's repre-
sentative. The speaker pre-
dicted a most interesting fu-
ture for the development of
this 1,000 square mile area.
We are blessed with relatively
unpolluted water in the streams

without control this admirable
condition would not continue.
PUBLIC SCHOOL
Dr. K. M. MacLennan,
chairman of the public school
board said that the school rep-
resents a big item in the town's
life and approximately $100, -
000 is spent annually, includ-
ing debentures for the new
wings. He paid tribute to the
fine work of the teachers and
principal, T. S. Beattie.
Fourteen rooms are now in op-
eration.
Scott Reid, also nominated
for public school board, said
he had served on the board for
12 years and had seen many
changes. He expressed his
pleasure at the interest which
is shown by parents as they at-
tend open house each year at
the school. He said he would
be pleased to serve again.
Another speaker was George
Carter, nominated for public
school board, who expressed
his willingness to serve on the
board.

REFORESTATION
Larry Scales reported on the
Huron County reforestation
scheme, which he described as
the only one of its kind in On-
tario.
"Ir makes use," he said, "of
marginal and sub -marginal
land, and I would ask all of
you to keep an eye out for
people interested in reforesta-
tion and get in touch with me.
We have one or two projects in
every township by now. Ac-
tually, I think the schetnehas
been a great success, and it
has made use of a lot of poor
land. •
"Our fire equipment at
Stratford is strictly for mop -up
process. We cannot get to a
fire as soon as the local bri-
gade, but we do have a pump
and other equipment which
could be used to mop up."

extensive poisoning program to
eliminate poor trees.
