New names for county buildings
Two Huron County institu-
tions and one county road will
have new names. The names
were selected by the
Huronview 100 Anniversary
Committee and approved by
County Council recently.
From 33 names submitted the
committee made the following
recommendations: The Huron
Adult Day Centre should be
changed to the "Jacob Memor-
ial Centre." The name change
was submitted by Ian
Maclnncs. Old Huronview
should be renamed, "Huron
County 'Health & Library Com-
plex." That name was sug-
gested by Dianne Cooke.
"Huron Place" was the sub-
mitted name by Joanne
Wareham for the unnamed
road.
Reasons for the name
changes were given in the
Administration, Finance and
Personnel Committee report to
Huron County Council on Nov.
2.
"One of the most popular
administrations at Huronview
was that of the Jacobs. John
Jacob began his administration
in 1924 and was succeeded by
his wife in 1947 until 1951.

Huron low in social assistance recipients
Huron County has the sixth
lowest percentage of people
receiving social assistance out
of 65 municipalities, according
to recent statistics from the
OMSSA. The information was
released in a committee report
at the Nov. 2 Huron County
Council meeting.
In Huron County, only two
per cent of the population is
receiving municipal social
assistance. The highest percen-
tage was the City of Kingston
at 11.73 per cent.
From Aug., 1994 to Aug.,
1995, the number of social
assistance cases in Huron
decreased from 587 to 570. But
the number of beneficiaries
issued increased from 1,202 to
1,206.
Ontario recently experienced
its greatest month-to-month
decrease in social assistance
caseloads in more than 25
years.
A Nov. 3 press release from
the Ministry of Community and
Social Services says 36,000
fewer individuals relied on
social assistance last' month.
That represents a .2.9 per cent
drop in the number of cases
from St pt. to Oct.
