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 teacher. There were 575 stu- dents transported, at an esti- mated cost this year of $58, - 000.

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 Ph. 428 ! do with it. Wingham Nominations Continued from Page One 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 Wingham, Ontario, Thursday, Noven ber 29, 162 - .Page *3 Give from Comic's fir hi in the area, he said, however, 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. Nominations in Short Form For Mayor - R. S.

The presenta- tion of a clock will be made at the annual meeting of the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association. 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."
