After two
terms as reeve of
North Huron
incumbent Doug
Layton
re
is
- seeking
election to finish
what he's
started. "I have a
keen interest in
the way North Huron grows and
develops. I've enjoyed the work
as reeve and would like another
term to finish what we've started."
Layton, who previously served
two terms on Wingham council
prior to amalgamation, said an
important issue is to keep a lid on
spending and keep up with
infrastucture. "Once you fall
behind you will stay behind and
we will all suffer for that. I want
to keep working for the
betterment of all the wards of
North Huron."
His personal goal is to work
closely with the township's
neighbours to create one strong
community. "I think if we all
work together we will benefit. I
think we have to realize that
what's good for one municipality
will be good for everyone."
NEIL VINCENT
A former
president of the
Huron
Federation, Neil
Vincent is
seeking the
position of
North Huron
reeve. Prior to
amalgamation
he served four terms as
councillor for East Wawanosh
and one as reeve.
Vincent has three decades of
involvement with provincial and
federal riding associations. The
last 13 years he has been on the
board of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture. He
feels. he can use his experience
and the knowledge he has gained
on a number of boards and
committees to the betterment of
the municipality and its
ratepayers. "I think we may be
able to get a lot more value out of
our tax dollars."
Fiscal responsibility is the
most important issue to Vincent.
Another key issue where Vncent
sees leadership is of the utmost
importance is the province's
Clean Water Act.

A goodly number of members of
the Happy Gang Seniors were on
hand at the Oct. 25 meeting at the
Londesborough Community Hall.
Two persons from Town and
Country Support Services joined
the group to tell about the many
possible service this organization
offers to seniors.
Kara Lee Potter, who grew up in
Londesborugh and knew many of
the seniors there that day, primarily
deals with the meals on wheels
program, a home-based meals
program.
However she told the seniors that
Town and Country services can also
provide help with many household
chores, home maintenance and
repair, weekly cleaning, yard work,
etc.
Marie Johnson had driven to the
meeting in the newest of the four
vans Town and Country now has.
that provide transportation to folks.
She demonstrated how the van
worked to load wheelchairs and its
many safety features. The vans are
available for folks needing transport
to appointments of one kind or
another, shopping, banking and
even to church.
Further information about these
services are available by calling the
organization's office located at the
Betty Cardno Centre in Clinton.
Seniors in the community are
invited to attend the Happy Gang
Seniors Christmas gathering on
Wednesday, Nov. 29. This meal will
be catered to by the Londesborough
UCW.
A third generation will soon be in
training to grow all those plants the

residence at the farm as Gerry and

The UNICEF program for
schools has been altered. Therefore
Hullett pupils did not carry orange
boxes on Halloween night. Instead
UNICEF has developed a program
called Build a School.
The idea is for pupils to raise
monies which can be used for
building a school or purchasing
furnishings.
Consequently during the last
week of October, pupils went
raiding parents' pockets, etc. for
pennies. Large pop bottles were
placed in each room as a collection
site.
Also acclaimed to council for
the East Wawanosh ward are
incumbents James Campbell and
Murray Scott. Murray Nesbitt has
been returned by acclamation as
the Blyth councillor. One position
remains for that ward.
Councillors Archie MacGowan
and Arnold Taylor were acclaimed
for the Wingham ward.
Acclaimed to the Avon
Maitland District School Board is
Colleen Schenk and to the Huron
Perth Catholic District School
Board is Jim McDade.
