A num- ber of letters were dealt with and quite a lot of accounts were passed for payment after being read by the finance chair- man, Warren Callan. Council agreed to purchase a liability policy for the police department, which would cov- er the police officers and coun- cil in case of a suit for false ar- rest or other occurrence where the department may be sued, Council agreed to a meeting with the Emergency Measures officer in February. It was not, llowever, without some dis- e.greement as several council- lors felt it a waste of time, be- cause there seems to be no in- terest in making the organiza- tion function. Council backed a resolution from Mt. Forest calling for this area to be designated a slow growth area by the federalgov- ernment. Council will be re- presented at a meeting next month in Mt. Forest, when a brief will be drawn up for pre- sentation to the proper people at Ottawa.

Variety of Business Is Handled by Council solution from the County Coun- cil calling for the establish- ment of a community college in Huron County. The local councillors felt some action should be taken at the local level rather than at county lev- el, The clerk read portions of a brief which the C.N.R. is pre- senting to the Transport Board regarding discontinuance and changes of rail passenger ser- vice in Western Ontario. Council approved an agree- ment with the Department of Highways covering the con- struction of a service road to look after several properties at the eastern entrance to Wing- ham. These homes now face on Highway 86 and will be iso- lated when the new diversion across the prairies is built. Mayor Miller suggested the town should have a brochure to be used in an effort to attract industry. Deputy Reeve Alex- ander said a smaller one should be put out in time for the plow- ing match which will be held this fall, near Seaforth. He said each municipality in the county will be allotted space at the match. Councillor Wild suggested Wingham have a Community Chest instead of so many separ- ate drives for funds to be used for charitable purposes. Coun- cillor Callan said he didn't think this would work in Wing- ham as people would not give as much in one lump sum as in separate appeals. Council took no action on the suggestion. Councillor Bateson said the Recreation Committee is now faced with the loss of the rec- reation director and that ad- vertising is being placed in an effort to secure the services of another trained director. Council approved an ad- vance of $1,200 to the Arena Commission to cover a number of accounts which have to be paid, including repairs to the ice machinery and a new pub- lic address system. A routine by-law was pass- ed authorizing the borrowing by the town of an aggregate of $100,000 during the year. 11 Killed in Area Accidents According to a report issued by the Ontario Provincial Po- lice, 11 persons were killed in No. 6 District, which includes Huron County, during Decem- ber.
