The meeting opened with the singing of the hymn "I Am Thine, 0 Lord", and prayer by Mrs. R. Kilpatrick. After the roll call and reading of the minutes, Mrs.. Kilpatrick pre- sided over the business session. Mrs. J. Currie read the Scripture lesson and the devo- tional period was taken by Mrs. G. Scheifele, who spoke on the topic "The Secret of a Happy New Year". She men- tioned that we cannot undo anything that was done in 1902, but a new year is before us, and God's power is with us it we will reach out to Him in faith. In Psalm 27 we have God's promise and His provision. After the singing of another hymn, Mrs. Sinclair read a letter from a Quebec Baptist Missionary and Mrs. Kilpatrick read a note of thanks from Rev. and Mrs. J. Wilson of Acton, who received a Christmas par- cel from the ladies. A season of prayer followed. Mrs. H. Watson presented the biography of Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission. She stressed the fact that Mr. Taylor was a very or- dinary person, but because he was never satisfied with any- thing but God's best, he realiz- ed greater spiritual heights than most people ever do. However, this close walk with God is possible to any of us if we will always put Him first in everything. Mrs. Sinclair then read an article concerning the work of EMO Committee Will Carry On GODERICH-Bereft of its emergency measures co-ordin- ator and also his secretary, who is going to work at the new On- tario Hospital, Huron County's EMO committee will "just car- ry on." Council adopted a committee report presented by Reeve Milton Oesch of Zurich, the new chairman, recommen- ding "that we accept the resig- nation of T. M. MacDonald and advertise for a co-ordina- tor." Addressing council earlier, ex -warden Hugh Hill of Goder- ich termed Mr. MacDonald's resignation a "shock" and at- tributed it to his being "let down" by "the brass." "I believe you appreciate, as I do," he said, " the diffi- culties of the task he has had to perform, and I do feel that some place in the higher brack- et he was let down - somebody in the top brass, so to say, and I say that for this reason: when this particular program of self- protection was set up there was a certain policy laid down by high government officials as to what was required in order that we might build up something for our protection and that of future generations. That has been scrapped, as far as I am aware, and we are now getting down to a more sensible level at which some protection can be arrived. The big job we persons throughout the county have to do first of all, is to ed- ucate the older people and stimulate the younger genera- tion, and teach them what to do in emergency." "This is quite a controver- sial thing," said Reeve Oesch. "We ought to realize that it is mostly on a voluntary basis, and it seems hard to get organ- ized. The only thing we can do now is for the committee to get to work and deal with applica- tions for co-ordinator.

County Home Is Big Business 13y W, E. Elliott GODERICFI-"Our roads are in as good shape as any Ring's Highway, and we do it with less money", County Engineer James Britnell told Huron Council. The engineer announced an extensive gravelling program to prevent spring breakups. "We have more gravel roads - 240 miles - than many coun- ties have of all roads, ' he sta- ted. The 1962 road committee re- ported $311, 272 spent on con- struction, $191, 946 on bridges and culverts and $373, 320 on maintenance. The total expen- diture eligible for subsidy was $1,065, 054; actual outlay $1,229,115. The cost of land purchase is increasing, Reeve Webb noted, A long-range program adopted by council in 1962 requires ac- quisition of considerable pro- perty this year and next. "Cost of this extra land, plus the cost of land for our development road from Brus- sels north to Highway 86places a severe financial burden on our 1963 construction budget. This will result in a smaller road construction program than normal for this year only, un- less additional county funds are available", Reeve Webb told council. "A by-law has been prepared expropriating land adjacent to County Road No. 4 from Credi- ton to Khiva to provide for Gorrie Personals Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Gal- loway, Larry, Garry, Mary Ann and Guy of Galt visited on Sunday with Mrs. Ann Ritchie.

At the June session last year, the Iluronview committee re- ported concern about the condi- tion of the roof of the 1054 ad- dition to the home and had been advised that a new roof was needed. This matter was referred to the bonding com- pany, which recommended that a consultant be engaged. The matter is far from closed, for the committee now reports that the roofing prob- lem has been investigated in detail and discussed with Snider, lluget and Partners, architects. The committee met with Mr. Snider and with the county soli- citor, and it would appear from the information received that they do not have sufficient evidence to present a claim. Architects have been engaged to review the situation and re- port on the cost of venting the . air space, and possibly the in- sulation. H. C. Johnston, superinten- dent of the county home, said its operation has become "big business." There are 70 full- time employees, three part- time, and 187 inmates. "Our salary list is $125,000 and we spent for food last year $38,000. The budget last year was about $220,000."
