Huron-Bruce A new Public Libraries Act strengthening regional library services and establishing a Pro- vincial Library Council to guide Ontario's library develop- ment was introduced in the Legislature this week. The new Act encourages smaller li- braries to become links in reg- ional library schemes and marks the end of association libraries. The assets of the 154 association libraries will be taken over by the regional sys- tem. It is felt that the legislation comes fairly close to integra- tion and lays the foundation for expansion. The Act permits establish- GODERICH--Huron County will have a $10, 000 to $12, - 000 surplus by the end of the year in its general account, John G. Berry, clerk-treasurer, predicted Monday. Mr. Berry's report to County Council stated that the present surplus of slightly over $18,000 will likely be reduced because of increased costs. Revenue for the period end- ing March 31 amounted to $161, 498. Highway revenue was $307,709, with a surplus of $29, 371. Receipts in the coun- ty health unit for the first three months were $37,146, and for the Huron County Home $111, - 027. Fixed fees for all services of coroner post-mortems and wit- nesses fees will contribute to increased costs, said Mr. Berry. W. R. HAMILTON OPTOMETRIST Josephine Street WINGHAM FOR APPOINTMENT Phone 357-1361 ment of county libraries when they do not exist. Grants un- der the new act would be about $5, 000, 000, a 50% increase ov- er last year. Presenting the Education De- partment estimates to the Leg- islature, the Minister, William David warned that it will be extremely complex to re-or- ganize a 13 grade system into a 12 grade system without ser- ious disruption in the schools and without sacrificing present standards. He stated that time is needed in reorganizing the grade 13 system. Ontario motorists will be able to buy accident insurance covering all passengers in their cars as part of their standard auto insurance policies under Financing in 1967 will probably necessitate an increase in the county rate, owing to an initial payment on the debenture issue for the county home, increased operation costs for the new ad- dition to the home, and the possibility of continued build- ing programs by county hospi- tals. Proposals are being discussed by provincial officials which will probably result in the county taking on more responsi- bility in future for municipal government, such as public libraries, county planning and a county assessment commis- sioner system. Masonic Service Held at McIntosh LAKELET—Rev. Douglas L. Steven was the speaker at the divine service of the Fordwich and Wroxeter Masonic lodges, held at McIntosh United Church Sunday evening. Music was supplied by the junior choir and soloist, Gor- don Wright. About 50 masons attended from Fordwich, Gorrie, Wrox- eter, Wingham, Clifford and the surrounding area. legislation introduced this week by Attorney General Arthur Wisher% Cost of the extra cov- erage is expected to average about $10.00. The new provis- ion will come into effect on Jan. 1, 1968. The amend- ments have been accepted by all provinces except Quebec and will provide standardized auto insurance legislation in the nine provinces. It will apply to all passen- ger's in the car regardless of who is at fault in the accident. In effect, it will mean that the injured persons will be able to collect the payments provided in the insurance contract with- out having to go to court to de- termine who is at fault. U. C. W.

Council 00DERICH—"My duties in- clude such things as keeping up with affairs in my own county to find out what is needed; where a better place than the County Council in session?" Robert E. McKinley, MP for Huron, took Monday off from his duties at Ottawa, spoke briefly to Huron County Coun- cil, had lunch with the mem- bers, and listened to some of their problems. He was of the opinion that the International Plowing Match near Seaforth in October would be "a big thing for Huron County"; that Expo '6'1 would be " a great thing for Canada" especially in supporting our efforts to sell our products to other countries. "I don't think that Huron County suffers very much in comparison with other parts of the country," he declared. "Actually, we are all very well off here by comparison." He did not favor the principle of seeking to be considered a de- pressed area. Referring to his duties in the House of Commons, Mr. Mc- Kinley said he had been able to accomplish — not, perhaps, many big things — but many little things. "There is no trouble keeping yourself occu- pied," he stated. He invited county council- lors to mention any way he could help out. Dr. R. M. Aldis And Three Others Resign Positions GODERICH--Huron County Board of Health has lost the services of four employees, Reeve Calvin Krauter, Brussels, chairman, reported to Huron County Council on Monday. They are Dr. R. M. Aldis, who has been director of the Huron County Health Unit since its inception more than 15 years ago; Miss L. Robertson, Miss M. Keough and Bruce Lobb. At the same time the Board has engaged a summer assis- tant, Murray Lobb, who in turn will be sponsored on a course at Ryerson Institute, Toronto. "We hope Mr. Lobb will return to Huron County at the com- pletion of his course, " the re- port commented. "In this day and age, we find we are in a very competi- tive field for Health Unit per- sonnel. It appears that no soon- er is a salary schedule set by one Unit than it is bettered by another. Thus constant change and vying for staff continues each and every year. In order to obtain adequate staff and re- tain them once they have been secured, we feel we must meet the competition in the field. "We recommend to County Council that in future all sal- aries of Health Unit staff be deleted from the County salary schedule and left for negotia- tion between the Board and em- ployees." Reeve Kreuter reported that the warden, the clerk and him- self had been in Toronto look- ing for replacements and had found 14 health units looking for a doctor director. He urged that the committee be given power to hire "right on the ground". This was the only way to compete. It was stated that the pres- ent incumbent was getting $16,- 000 per year and had been of- fered a substantial increase. Warden Stewart said that he had been informed by the De- partment that the county would have to pay $15, 000 to $19, - 000 per year to secure a man. A representative of the Depart- ment was leaving July 1 to re- cruit English, Irish and Scotch doctors to come to Canada to fill these positions. Deputy Reeve Harold Robin- son, Howick, suggested that Asian doctors also might be re- cruited to come to Ontario, John G. Berry Predicts Huron County Surplus Dr. H. Taylor Is Honored for 41 Yrs. Service GODERICH— A springy eighty this summer, Dr. A. Harold Taylor, grand old medical man of Goderich, was honoured by Huron County Council Monday afternoon on completing 41 years' service as county gaol physician. He was appointed in 1925, His father, the late Dr. Alex Taylor, had held the same appointment for close to 40 years before him, thus con- stituting an 80-year span of service by father and son. In presenting the veteran medico with a beautiful gold wrist watch in behalf of the County Council, Stewart Proc- ter, Morris, chairman of the property committee, paid tri- bute to his fine qualities. The father had come to God- erich in 1870, and had returned to practise in the county town after taking a postgraduate • course at the University of Ed- inburgh, and father and son had been prominent in the lives of thousands of people in Goder- ich and vicinity. The recipient showered praise on all those gaol offic- ials and staff with whom he had been associated. He mention- ed particularly the gaoler, R. W. "Peg" Bell who had seen service in two wars overseas; to chief turnkey John Robertson and the entire staff who had ex- tended to him a great deal of courtesy. Surprise Party BELGRAVE— A surprise party in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Armstrong was held at their home in Thomdale on Saturday. The occasion was their 25th wedding anniversary.
