Discuss Fox Bounties and Markings at County Council Goderich: Huron County Council at March session in- structed its agriculture com- mittee to look into the whole matter of fox bounties, and in particular the market value of pelts on which bounty is claimed, It is surmised that some duplication of payments may result from different sys- tems of marking, Deputy Reeve Delbert Gei- ger of Hay, raising the question under "enquiries", asked if members from municipalities bordering on other counties could give information as to marking. "I am told, " he said, "that some mark the ears --I believe we do it that way --and some cut part of the tail. I was wondering whether any of the reeves know what other counties are doing. If we are going to keep paying subsidies on foxes our marking should be uniform.' "In our township (Colborne) we have had a few come in and request that we do not take the ears. Apparently a red fox pelt is worth $7 to $12, and if we take off the ears they are useless. I am wondering, if they are worth that much, whether we should continue the bounty," said Warden Jewell. Clerk -treasurer Berry: "I know the markings are not uni- form, and it may be that double payments are being made." Deputy Reeve Everett Mc- Ilwain of Goderich Township said: "Persons submitting pelts should be willing to have some identifying marks; if they do not want to do that they should forego the bounty." Mr. Berry, : "That is right, but qnite often, I believe, those Teaching the teacher EXPERTS TELL US that almost 90% of all automobile accidents are directly attributable to human failures of one kind or another. Modern technology has succeeded in making todays cane and roads about as safe as can be. it is time for drivers to catch up—through driver safety training. (Only this type of training will teach young drivers the kind of "safety -thinking" so essential to safe driving.) But training requires teach- ers, and teachers themselves must first be taught. That's why the automobile insurance business, as a part of its national program of promoting safety education for the young drivers, pays the costs of the annual Driver Training Educa- tion Program conducted by the Can- adian Highway Safety Council for teachers in many parts of Canada. ALL CANADA INSURANCE FEDERATION mt behalf of over 20(I competing fire, automobile and casualty insurance coMpanies ALL CANADA INSURANCE FEDERATION involved are inclined to go al- ong with that and save the pelts." Reeve Glenn Fisher (Exeter) "At one time you clipped under the jaw, and ears or tail were removed. It doesn't matter; for marking for purposes of receiv- ing a bounty you are going to wreck the value of the pelt. As long as people are willing to bring them in and receive the bounty I don't think there is too much of a problem. If they feel $4 is sufficient, the bounty is serving its purpose."

Proctor Reports Need to Organize ARDA Committee GODERICH— "An ARRA committee will have to be set up in the county, I believe," said Reeve Stewart Procter of Morris Township, presenting the report of the county council's agricultural and reforestation committee, of which he is the ohair,man. Some counties have already organized under the Agricultur- al Rehabilitation and Develop- ment plan. The agricultural representative would be secre- tary, he explained, and there would be three members from the agricultural committee and one each, probably, from the Federation of Agriculture, Far- mers' Union, 'Women's Institute and perhaps some other organ- izations in the county. The first part of an ARDA program will be educational, the chair- man said. The committer report, which was adopted, included a re- commendation for a reforesta- tion program similar to that of 1963, with $2500 allocated "in the event that we find land that might or should be purchased by the county." Contained in the report were grants to the following, agricul- tural societies: Dungannon, $150; Blyth, $150; Seaforth, $488.24; Huron Central, $218.97; Kirk - ton. $100; Exeter, $267.58; Bayfield, $150; Howick, $150; Zurich, $167.93; Lucknow, $75; South Huron, $150; East Hur- on. $214.76. Other grants: Huron Plow- men's local committee, $100; Wiugham Advance -Times, Thursda}, Apra '2, 9b4 Page 3 WITH THE BUDDING OUT of pussy willows and the return of the odd robin, one is re- minded that spring must be on the way.

Clarifies Acceptance Of Residents By W. E. Elliott GODERTCH—Concrete sug- gestions for dealing with the pressing problem of chronic pa- tients are hoped for when a meeting at Huronview on April 15 brings together representa- tives of the various hospital boards, the Medical Association of the county and the Ontario Hospital Services Commission. "We are still deeply concerned with the ever-increasing de- mand for admittance to Huron - view," Deputy Reeve James Hayter of Stephen said in the board of management report, "We have renovated the ground floor area and this is now be- ing put into use. However, the demand continues. "We did advertise for homes which might consider taking in senior citizens on the same bas- is as being' residents of Huron - view. There was a good re- ponse and these applications will be reviewed by the provin- cial authorities before any fur- ther action is taken. "In Welland this seems to be working well, We do not seem to have too many people to go into these homes. Then we have to be able to take these people back in case of sickness." "We are holding our own," re- ported Superintendent Harvey Johnston, "Since January 1st we have had 16 admissions, but also 17 deaths compared with 37 in the whole of last year. Resi- dents coming in are considerab- ly older than a few years ago. The number of residents is 205, and we expect two more to- morrow, "Early in the month we got a lot of publicity in regard to the people we are taking in and the per diem rate. I would like to state that as far as Huron - view is concerned, many of these statements were inaccur- ate. At no time have we reject- ed indigent patients because persons able to pay the per diem rate were occupying some of these beds, It was stated we were taking people from Toron- to. At no time has anyone come from Toronto. People out- side Huron, enquiring about ac- commodation, have been told that they have to be residents of Huron, according to the Act, for 12 months before they can be admitted." The Huronview report men- tioned approval for paving the parking area in front of the home, including the circular Plowmen's International com- mittee, $500; Huron County Hol- stein Club, $100; Huron Here- ford Association, $100; Perth - Huron Shorthorn Club, $100; Agricultural Junior Extension, $2500; Huron Soil and Crop Im- provement Assoeintion, $40): Huron County Seed pair, $100; 4-H Club Leaders Association, $500; Western Counties Guern- sey Club, $50: Perth -Huron Jer- sey Club, $50; Banner Counties Ayrshire Club, $50; Aberdeen - Angus Breeders' Association (Grey -Bruce -Huron), $50. drive. The work is to be done by the Lavis Contracting Co„ Clinton, for $2,450. "You are still accepting ap- plications from people able to pay their own way, who could go to a nursing home?" enquir- ed Reeve Tom Leiper of Hal- lett. "We are taking those who have no estates ahead of those who have and taking the lat- ter as long as we have accom- modation," explained Mr. John- ston. At a meeting on April 15 there will be present the chair- man, administrator and medi- cal representative of each hos- pital board in the county; Dr. Keith Stewart of the Depart- ment of Public Welfare; Dr. Al- dis, M.O.H. and members of the county board of health. "The purpose of the meeting is to find out exactly what in- formation is wanted in this sur- vey," said Mr. Berry. "Then we can find out where we stand. I notice Halton County has under consideration the building of a chronic hospital, sponsored by the county. It is to be a 100 -bed hospital, but how deeply the county gets involved In the financing I do not know." Mso on that evening (April 15), the Medical Association of the county will be holding its annual meeting at Huronview, and the doctors will tour the building. When using a paint roller, always keep it on the wall un- til it comes to a complete stop. If it is lifted too soon it may spin in the air and paint will spatter.
