Council Winds Up June Session GODERICH-After a day spent in visiting the O.A.C. and other points of interest, council reassembled without .r • casualities, though one mem- 0 1) •o r, • r• • • • ber had been tagged for speed- ing. Reeve Borden Cook of Blyth, a new member, was assigned to the EMO committee and finance and executive, ta- BELL LINES by J. M. Goodwin your telephone manager Motorist Take Heed! Throughout the summer months ahead, Wingtham youngsters will be out on streets and play areas in more nwnerous quantity than during the school year, and will unfortunately make an easier target for incautious mo- torists. And perhaps the lessening of direct authority over them—no more homework, more relaxed bedtime hours, etc.—will tend to make them even less aware than usual of traffic ;hazards. If so, then the little people of Wing - ham will be at a double disadvantage come the "School's Out Hooray!" that they're so anxiously waiting for. A child streaking out from behind a parked ear is still a child; a motorist has adult responsibilities, one of which is "running interference" for such dhildren. Let's live up to our responsibilities and take heed, not lives. Beauty Treatment I'll bet Milady has never suspected a connection be- tween the telephone and cosmetics, yet a form of beauty preparations is actually used to manufacture telephone parts! For example, rouge is used as an abrasive to polish lenses, and machinery is kept Whistle clean witch Freon—the gas that puts the "zing" in hair sprays. Bees- wax—the "body" in eye shadow—doubles as a preservative for small wooden parts, and spermaceti—the wax in lip- stick—serves as a lubricant. Talcum powder has a use in telephone circuits to prevent echoes in conversations, and isopropyl alcohol --an ingredient in cologne --acts .as a finishing solution for telephone parts. Although cosmetics undoubtedly subtract years from a woman's age, they add years to the life of a telephone! * * * Had One Lately?

Which incidentally, is also the answer to starting your vacation off on the right foot. Be sure to phone ahead for reservations! king the place of Mr. Morritt. Deputy Reeve Everett Mcllwain, Goderich Township, will pre- side over the EMO committee for the remainder of the year. It was announced that the county picnic will be held on Wednesday, July 8, in Harbour Park, Goderich. Owing to a readjustment of assessment, Tuckersmith gets a refund of $375.90, and Ste- phen a write-off of $421.40. A bylaw was passed consti- tuting a part of Greenock Town- ship as part of Lucknow high school district. The area com- prises certain lots in concessions 1 to 9, on the eastern side of the township. Greenock does not border on Huron County,and pupils from Culross, a border township, go to Wingham, but the present enactment is evi- dently a matter of form to com- ply with an amendment to the Secondary Schools Act. This requires that bylaws be passed by July 1 taking care of all ar- eas not now attached to a high school district. The effective date is January 1 next. Concurring in a Londonreso- lution, on recommendation of the legislative and educational committee, county council called upon the Ontario Govern- ment to assume the entire cost of the administration of justice, including the cost of building and maintaining courthouses and jails. "Municipalities, " the resolution states, "use only a small part of these facilities in the enforcement of bylaw cases, but by and large they are nei- ther a service to local taxpay- ers nor to the municipality. Compared to the direct ex- penses met by local municipal- ities, the amount o f money re- turned to municipalities through fines and forfeitures is insignificant." Adopting the same commit- tee report, council went along with a Windsor resolution pro- posing that the province "give leadership in the planning for more treatment and residential facilities" for children in care of Children's Aid Societies re- quiring expensive treatment in institutions for emotionally dis- turbed children. Rejected was a Peterborough county proposal that the pro- vince be asked to pay the sal- aries of teachers in secondary education. Associated Nursing Homes, Incorporated, called for a rate of $6 a day for its members in Huron, instead of $4.50, Fi- nance chairman Milton Oesch said there would be a meeting with a representative of the or- ganization, to discuss the mat ter. As recommended by chair- man Elmer Hayter, of the equalization committee, coun- cil concurred in a Victoria County resolution proposing amendment of the Assessment Act so that any person filing an apeal may be allowed ac- cess to the assessor's cards be- tween return of the roll and consideration of the appeal. C. W. Bamford, of Listowel, sent a resolution of the Mait- land Valley Conservation Au- thority proposing that the same manual for assessment purposes be used by all counties within a Conservation Authority . Council concurred. Grey County failed to win support for a resolution propos- ing that Hydro and telephone companies relocate poles and lines so that the maximum dis- tance from legal fence line would be four feet. It was re- presented that some existing installations hamper drainage and winter control. Chairman Joe Kerr saw an objection: "If moved now they would have to be moved again." The matter of appointing a construction safety inspector, referred to the warden's and personnel committee after a talk at this session from a La- bor Department trouble-shooter, was given another hoist. The committee recommended that the matter be given furtherstu- dy. Council earlier adopted a report from the Huronview board recommending a new by- law regarding indigent funerals. Based on rates set out in the Pu- blic Hospitals Act,thearrange- ment would be $125 for the bur- ial, the actual cost of opening and closing the grave, and $10 for a religious service in con- nection with the burial. Just before the end of the sitting, deputy reeve John Sutter of Clinton objected that this does not help the committee very much. He said it was $150 over all, and now $125 plus opening the grave plus a reli- gious service, averages about $200. Clerk -treasurer Berry said funeral directors will have to be instructed to use the re- commended type of casket or be excluded. Referred to the agricultural committee and not yet passed upon was a recommendation from Huron County Trappers Association and Huron Fish and Game Conservation Association that county council pass a by- law restricting hunting in the county to Ontario residents. The committee plans to meet re- presentatives of these associa- tions. "Our problem," stated a letter from M. Batkin and W. E. Collins, "is the U.S. hunt- ers now invading Huron County during fall and winter, are well organized groups. These hunt- ers come completely equipped, even to white suits. After they have gone through a block, lit- tle or no game is left. Just one example: a station wagon checked contained 90 rabbits. It is our understanding that in Belmore Personals Mrs. Margaret Willets of Gorrie, spent a few days last week with Mrs. Arthur Fitch. Frankie Weishar, 12, injured in a two -car collision last weep is showing steady improvement and is now in fair condition. Members of his family visited him in Victoria Hospital, Lon- don, on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Douglas attended the funeral of Mrs. Arthur Snider in Woodbridge on Friday. Teeswater Firemen answered a call on Friday afternoon, when kitchen pipes became overheated and started a chim- ney fire at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ken Dickson and family. Damage, mainly from water, Euchre Party to Support Park WROXETER-The euchre party held on Thursday night was a success with eight tables in play. The high scores were won by Mrs. Ken Jackson for the ladies and Mrs. Wes Heim- pel second. Men's prizes went to Boyd Marshall, first, and to George Hamilton, second. Mrs. Allan McKercher won the spe- cial bingo. There will be another euchre party in the hall next Thursday with all proceeds for the Wroxeter Community Park. HONOR NEWLYWEDS BLUEVALE-A party in honor of Mr, and Mrs. Murray John- ston (formerly Audrey Wheeler) was held in the community hall on Friday evening when a large crowd attended. A presentation of a purse of money was made by Bob Thompson on behalf of many friends; Murray McLennan read an address. Wilbee's Or- chestra provided music for dancing, Ministers Change In Belmore Charges BELMORE-Rev. Douglas Ste- ven, recently ordained in the Ottawa district will move here July 1 to take charge of the Bel - more, Mildmay, and McIntosh United Churches. Rev. G. Howard Pace, minister at the churches for the past five years, will go to Crys- tal Beach. most cases these rabbits are sold across the border and bring $2 to $2.50. Not only is this a serious threat to our game population, but in many cases these hunters show complete disregard for property, causing needless damage to farmers." is not too extensive, thanks to the prompt efforts of the fire- men. Mrs. John Harper spent the week -end with Mrs. James S. Darling, near Mildmay, and also visited friends in the Mc- Intosh area. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Sangster visited on Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kreller of Clifford. In the afternoon, they attended the memorial services in Clif- ford cemetery. Dr. and Mrs. Jack Helfen- stein of Midland, Michigan, spent the week -end with his brother, Mr. Harry Helfenstein and Mrs. Helfenstein, on the 2nd of Culross. Many from the area attended the anniversary services in Blue - vale Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning. Rabies Clinic Free to Public GODERICH-The rabies clin- ics operated by Huron Health Unit have now been officially recognized by the federal de- partment of agriculture, Dr. R. M. Aldis announced in his report to county council. Thanks to the assistance of the health of animals branch, he said, these clinics are now op- erated at no fee to the public, and the response has justified their confidence in this mea- sure. The first free clinic was held last month in Colborne, hard hit recently by rabies. "With typhoid in Britain causing headlines, many peo- ple may entertain the hope that such a disaster could not happen here," stated the report. "The plain truth is that while typhoid itself has been rather quiet in Ontario lately, close relatives in the Salmonella fa- mily have been extremely ac- tive, One of the more distress- ing features of these other ill- nesses is that the baby and young child are liable to rt• - main carriers for an indefinite period, despite the use of our most sophisticated drugs. "You will all he familiar with the sharp rise in infectious jaundice which began about four years ago. It is encourag- ing to see the advances now gradually being made in en- vironmental sanitation. Many gaps remain in this field, par- ticularly with regard to the pu- blic serving of food and food products, and wide variations are noted in the application of existing legislation." HINT TO PET OWNERS A moistened chamois will re- move dog hair from clothes and will not harm the fabric, Clerk -Treasurer Reports to Council BY W. E. ELLIOTT GODERICH-Raporting on county finances for the first quarter, clerk -treasurer John Berry told council there was a surplus of $5,071 on general account. This is due largely to a carryover surplus of $23, 393 from last year, but the expenditures take care of $12, 500 carried to the reserve fund, an allowance of $2, 500 for the county history, and $3, 171 discount on county rates. "There do not appear t: be as many municipalities pr, pay- ing their rates this year," he report stated; "therefore there will be less monies available for reinvestment. One, of course, offsets the other, with less expenditure and discount on county rates and in turn less revenue coming in under mis- cellaneous items."
