U.K. Physician Engaged Medical Health Officer
BY R. S. ATKEY
GODERICH-*A physician
from the United Kingdom will
be Huron County's new medical
officer of health. His appoint-
ment was ratified by County
Council, Friday, on recom-
mendation of the Huron County
Board of Health.
Dr. G. P. A. Evans will be
coming to Goderich and will
start with the county on No-
vember 1, 1966, at a salary of
$15,000 per annum. He suc-
ceeds Dr. R. M. Aldis, who has
gone to Perth County.
In addition, the Board of
Health pointed out, the County
of Huron will be paying 80 per
cent of moving costs to bring
Dr. Evans and his family to God-
erich. The report stated that
the moving costs would be sub-
sidized in the usual manner at
50 per cent.
"It was through the Ontario
Department of Health that we
were able to secure the services
of Dr. Evans," Calvin Krauter,
Brussels, committee chairman,
pointed out. "Dr. G. K. Mar-
tin, director, Local Health
Services Branch of the Depart-
ment, was on a recruiting cam-
paign in the United Kingdom to
secure not only medical offic-
ers of health for the various
units, but also a number of doc-
tors for the province of Ontario.
Dr. Martin had the authority of
our board to recruit on behalf of
the Huron County Health Unit."
"You might be interested to
know that we advertised local-
ly and in the medical journals,
and only received one letter
from a doctor in the West ask-
ing for information regarding
the position. This came after
we had engaged Dr. Evans."
The report noted that at the
present time, the county is still
short one sanitary inspector, and
there again there had been very
few applicants for the position.
Nurses also are required to
bring the Unit up to base line
requirements; the competition
is very keen.
The Board of Health said it
was pleased that Dr. N. 'C.
Jackson, Goderich, agreed to
act as medical officer of health
until they secured the services
of a new doctor. He is Acting
Medical Officer of Health bas-
ed on a salary of $7, 500 per an-
num.
Mrs. Anne Follis, has been
engaged as a new supervisor of
nurses, and commenced work
with the county on August 15.
"Presently we have under re-
view salaries pertaining to the
Health Unit personnel and hope
to be able to arrive at a satis-
factory arrangement with the
staff in the near future," it was
reported.
"There appears to be a new
problem arising in connection
with swine lagoons, Apparent-
ly, in certain areas, lagoons
are being built to carry barn-
yard runoff, and this is creat-
ing the problem of odour and,
in some cases, pollution of
ditches.
"According to our investiga-
tion to date, there does not
seem to be a specific section of
The Public Health Act dealing
with the situation. The matter
is under further investigation
and possibly we will have an-
other report in November."
On recommendation of the
Board of Health, Council
amended a bylaw to increase
the indigent rate in nursing
homes to $7 per day, effective
September 1, 1966.
"We've had a lot of prob-
lems here this year," comment,-
ed Chairman Krauter. "I am
personally pleased that Dr.
Jackson was able to carry on.
He is a very good man and
stands up for his rights."
Regarding lagoons, there
didn't seem to be legislation in
effect covering them, he stat-
ed, but they hoped to get some.
Clifford Dunbar, Grey,
pointed out that there is a sub-
section in the Criminal Code
covering anyone deprived of
the possession of his property
under these circumstances.

9Y R. S. ATKEY
GODERICH—Three roads in
Huron have been designated by
the Ontario Minister of High-
ways as development roads for
pre-engineering, the County
Road Committee reported to the
Council at its September ses-
sion.
They are; road number three,
Varna to Brucefield, 4.3 miles,
estimated cost $220, 000; road
number 12, road three to High-
way 8 (F,gmondville-Seaforth),
1.3 miles, $150, 000; road num-
ber eight, Summerhill to Au-
burn, 6.4 miles, $340, 000.
Although the total cost es-
timated back in 1964 was $710,-
000, County Engineer 3. W.
Britnell informed County Coun-
cil that the total cost of these
roads, when built, could ap-
proach $1, 000, 000, costs hav-
ing gone up so much in the past
two years.
The engineer said that all of
the above-mentioned projects
were scheduled for reconstruc-
tion by the County under bylaw
within the next five years.
"Now that they are designat-
ed as. Development Roads, the
Department of Highways bear-
ing 100 percent of all costs with
the exception of property, we
will be able to accelerate our
entire long range program. In
this way, the whole of the
county benefits from the devel-
opment road work and not just
those municipalities in and
around the designated develop-
ment roads. We will be revis-
ing the long range construction
plan which will reflect this de-
velopment road work in the
near future."
Hon. C. S. MacNaughton
stated in his letter that he was
able to make these designations
because the County of Huron
qualified for this type of direct
aid as per the findings of the
road needs study and because of
the county's willingness to raise
its share of its needs by in-
creasing the mill rate for roads.
"The committee realizes
that the findings of the Needs
Study and the subsequent .55-
mill increase in road levy were
not pleasant to many members,
but we feel these recent desig-
nations (with more to come in
the future) make our actions
worthwhile. You will recall
we stated that for an invest-
ment of $35, 000 (.55 mills on
the county assessment), we
would qualify for direct aid
amounting to approximately
$250, 000 per year."
Work is proceeding on sche-
dule on all items in the county's
1966 program. Cost of most
materials, wages, and the
prices bid on all contracts have
increased from five to twenty
per cent over last year, the re-
port stated, Most of these in-
creases were anticipated and it
is expected that all projects
will be completed on time and
within the budget.
At the suggestion of the Road
Committee, as a result of a de-
cision of the Municipal Roads
Branch of the Department of
Highways, County Council pass-
ed a bylaw under section 468 of
The Municipal Act in order to
make the following payments in
lieu of work on roads reverted
to the following townships;
Ashfield, $1,518; Colborne,
$1,125; Hay, $2,000; Stephen,
$6,410; West Wawanosh, $450.
Ernest Talbot, Stanley, ask-
ed if the Varna-Bayfield road
would be a development road.
The Engineer said it was in-
cluded in the long range plan.
