WORK AT SWIMMING AREA—A new re-
taining wall has just been completed at the
Riverside Park swimming area. The wall is
pictured as the forms were removed. It will
complement a cement pad which was pour-
ed late in the fall on the river bottom. In
the upper left of the picture workmen and
machines are installing the trunk sewer
which follows the old CPR right-of-way. At
the moment this area is a busy spot. Work
is going on at the sewage project, the swim-
ming area and a few hundred yards north
another gang is making repairs to the How-
son dam and bridge.—A-T Photo.

Agriculture was held on January
14th in Clinton with a good at-
tendance. Robert Eaton, field -
man for the zone, mentioned

would pass through Stephen
Township and he advised farm-
ers to consult the properties de-
partment of the Federation of
Agriculture before signing an
agreement.
W. Zurbrigg commented on
the excellent meeting held
Dec. 27th with the members of
parliament and recommended
that a meeting with them be
held again next year.

Mr. Myles reported that through
the Hunter Damage Act farmers
can receive compensation for
animals shot by hunters and
they must notify the agricultur-
al office as soon as possible in
such an event.
Carl Hemingway reported
for FAME and said there was a
need for more share capital and
this was coming in very well
recently. A special drive will
be made to obtain 2000 more
shareholders across Ontario by
March 15th.
A motion by Hunter and
Thomas that D. Myles be in-
cluded on the ARDA Commit-
tee, was carried. A motion by
Ferguson and McNay that the
wording in Article 4 of the con-
stitution of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture be
changed to read 80% in place
of 75% was carried. This will
mean that the townships will
have to contribute an extra 5%
to the Huron County Federation
of Agriculture. Before becom-
ing effective it will have to be

Practice No, 2-64, Wing -
ham Harmony Men, was held in
the town hall last Tuesday at
8.15 (late again). An interest-
ing program for the evening was
designed by 13111 Connell and
everyone enjoyed same, Thirty
"Harmony Nuts" were present,
including several new faces
from Teeswater, ilolyrood and
Wingham. After "The Old
Songs" Director Hap led a short
interlude called "Gang Singing:
This was a lot of fun as we
were allowed to sing our own
Harmony. (0h, (Brother!). 1
think Hap has a motive here,
but I haven't figured it out yet.
He told me "the boys did well".
President Geo. Cousins wel-
comed the guests after they had
been introduced. Vice-pres.
Russ Zurbrigg then gave an ex-
cellent lecture on the aims of
our group, stressing our main
requirements -tea sincere desire
to sing.
The Kincardine bus arrived
with Harry Chapman at the
wheel. I would think a lot of
songs could be run over (mur-
dered) in 35 miles.
Chorus rehearsal was renew-
ed and much hard work was
done on some of the "oldies".
It is an awful shock to find out
you've been singing your part
incorrectly for six months. It's
worse when you don't know the
words, When all these things
are right we really have some-
thing, and all our struggling is
certainly worthwhile.
During '63 we have done a
lot of Sing -outs and just to re-
fresh your memory they includ-
ed: Mildmay E.U.13. Church;
Kincardine Pavilion, commun.

dealt with at the next annual
meeting,
As a result of a resolution
presented in December by Mrs.
M. Lobb, committee chair-
man, suggesting that depart-

lists; Mr. Burrows of Exeter,
South Huron Public School in-
spector; A. G. Gray, principal,

tral Huron Secondary School,

vantages that the present sys-
tem of education has over the
past system.

Restaurant in
Brussels Entered
The Hanna Restaurant was
forcibly entered during the
early hours of Sunday morning.
The cash register and juke box
were robbed of the money they
contained.
Entry to the premises was
gained by breaking the glass in
the front door to reach in and
release the lock. Mr. Hanna
discovered the break-in on Sun-
day morning.
The coin box of the juke box
had been pried open and the
money removed and the cash
register looted. The thief, or
thieves, did not touch cigar-
ettes, bars, etc., and missed
other cash and valuables. It is
believed they were alarmed and
frightened off by the sound of
movement in the upstair apart-
ment of the Hanna family.
It is estimated there would
have been about $30 in the juke
box and approximately $12 in
silver in the cash register. The
coppers were left, Fortunately
Mrs. Hanna had removed the
Saturday's receipts from the till.
The robbery is under investi-
gation by the Mount Forest de-
tachment of the OPP.

Nursing Visits
Were Increased
By W. E. Elliott
GODERIC -1 " We are pleas,-
ed,"
leas*ed," Dr. Aldis reported to
County Council, "to note an
increase in the number of nurs-
ing visits, up 1,11:1 over 1962
to 9,801, and that the age
groups served are more eompre*
pensive. Through ea -operation
with the regional welfare off%*
eer, a program has been de-
veloped to offer the assistance
of public health nurses to the
elderly and disabled. More re -
attests are being received for
bedside nursing care, and these
are being handled on a limited
basis.
"Studies in Canada and the
U.S, have established that
homemakers services and bed-
side nursing do remedy many of
the problems resulting from
chronic illness, and do rectify
any inequities that may result
from imbalances in the avail-
ability of beds."
(The Warden's and personnel
committee of county council
last year discussed homemaker
service, and at the November
session recommended that no
action be taken at this time.)
"In the meantime," states
the M.O.H. in his report, "it
is suggested that municipalities
might make a file of possible
recruits for such a service and
strengthen co-operation be-
tween welfare and health de-
partments. Through liaison
with the Ontario Community
Health services centred at Gode-
rich and London, the Health
Unit has continued to assist in
obtaining early treatment for
these patients, and to assist the
families in their rehabilitation."
The M.O.H. reported on
immunization clinics as follows:
Inoculations against polio
alone or in combination with
other antigens — antigens,
5, 752; other inoculations,1,111;
smallpox vaccinations, 2,737.
Total nursing visits, 9,801,
included prenatal, post -natal
and infant visits, 3, 560; pre-
school and school, 3, 490;
other, including adult, cancer,
TB, etc., 2,751; vision tests
(school), 5,760; health in-
spections (school) 4,792.
Sanitation visits, 3, 754.
Water supply 340, water sam-
ples 502, sewage disposal (in-
cluding plumbing inspections)
2, 250; eating establishments

eous 531.
