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. PHONE 357-2320 FOR WANT AD SERVICE 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. 1 WHITECHURCH Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Thomp- son and family of E.
