NOM 150 Phone 519.229-6363 7,8c Librarian questioned Huron County's chief librarian has been taken to task for not following the county's hiring practises to find an immediate replacement for an in- jured employee. Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston con- tinually questioned chief librarian William Partridge on his having hired someone for book collection only 10 days after he was authorized to fill the vacancy. If Partridge had followed county hiring policy, it would have been about another week before a per - fon could have been hired.. The peusonwho-waearesponsible los book collections in ordwich fell and broke her wrist on December 12 of last year. The person is also due to retire on February 8. Reeve Johnston pointed out that an advertisement for the position was in the Goderich Signal -Star one week before the library authorizing hiring someone at its January 13 meeting. Ten days later, someone was hired. Partridge said employment notices .aren't always put in every newspaper in the county. He added that the posi- tion was first posted among the library staff. He admitted an over- sight in jumping the gun on advertis- ing, but noted that even if all newspapers in Huron were advertis- ed in, the Fordwich area would have been missed. Partridge said Ford- wich area people read The Listowel Banner, a Perth County newspaper. Library board chairman Tom Cun- ningham said he agreed with Johnston about following county hir- ing policy. "I presumed it was advertised pro- perly," he said. The Mullett Township reeve said the concerns would be taken back to the library board. Board names Stratford firm The Stratford architectural firm of Kyles, Garratt and Marklevitz will continue on as the consulting ar- chitects for the Huron County board of education. The firm has been acting in this position for as long as trustee John Elliott has been on the board, about 12 years, and he wondered why the firm was only getting an 18 -month renewal period, rather than the full term of this board which is three years. Management committee chairman Tony McQuail told the February 3 meeting of the school board that a local architectural firm had express- ed an interest in becoming the con- sulting architect. McQuail said the short time frame for choosing an ar- chitect made it impossible for the local firm to make a presentation. The chairman said his committee only had one month to look for an ar- chitect and besides the Stratford firm, there was only the one local firm ex- pressing interest. McQuail said the 18 -month renewal period would give the local firm a chance to compete. Both Elliott and trustee Joan VandenBroeck suggested that by not renewing the Stratford firm for three years, the board is "casting asper- sions" on its reputation. However, McQuail said he has "no strong or serious reservations" about the Stratford firm. Only, he said, he would like a local firm to have a chance to compete. The management committee chair- man said the architectural firm doesn't receive a retaining fee, but does receive a certain percentage of every project. • Capital _expenses $486,000 Times -Advocate, February 12 1986 Page 9A Nuron vt�w budget is i�t at �� 06 mililon A $6.06 million budget for Hurott- view, home for the aged, was approv- ed at the February session of county council, but a second chance -to loots closely at the estimates for 1966 will be possible when the entire county budget is considered. What is of most importance in the Huronview budget is capital expenses of $486,000, of which the county could pay $243,000. The money is to be spent on $400,000 of renovations in the Sum- merhill and Eastdale wings of the • home and $86,000 for paving the park- ing lots and driveways. Huronview administrator Wayne Lester said the county has' uttt#1 March 15 to decide whether it will go ahead with the project or not.

Huron farm and home news Huron OMAF Staff Update Art Lawson, Farm Business Ad- visor, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food, London, has been second- ed to head up the help line 1-800-265-1511, one of the components of the Farmers in Transition Pro- gram (FIT). Meanwhile, Dennis Martin, Farm Management Specialist, Huron, will have the special assignment of cover- ing Art's former role in the seven county area in the South Western Region. Dennis will be primarily working out of the London OMAF of- fice in Middlesex County and continu- ing residence in Huron. During the busy winter period, Brian Miller, RR 1, Hensall, has been appointed on a casual employment basis to work with the Huron County Agricultural Representative Branch team to serve our farmers' farm business management requests. Brian was raised on the family Farmers reject federal report Agriculture today needs farmers - creditors arrangements legislation with teeth, not weak recommenda- tions from federal committees who do not recognize the seriousness of the crisis. This was the position taken by an angry Executive Committee of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. Strongly denouncing a report made by the Advisory Committee on Bank- ing and Insolvency, OFA president Harry Pelissero decried both the committee's unrealistic assessment of farmers' difficulties, and the lack of direct farmer input into the com- mittee's deliberations. Pelissero stated: "i cannot over emphasize the immediacy of our need for legislation that will bring farmers and creditors together under a system where the courts can formulate ar- rangements that will be binding on all parties." Pelissero questioned earlier statements made by federal agriculture minister John Wise that there is a "silent majority" somehow speaking against farmers -creditors arrangements legislation. "There are two national and eight Ontario farm organizations lobbying for this legislation. in addition we have 14 county councils, nine federa- tions of agriculture, six township councils, and another six town coun- cils who have all passed resolutions supporting a moratorium until the FCAA is in place. That's a pretty good indication of broad-based support," said Pelissero. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture represents over 24,000 farm families and is the biggest farm lobby organization in the province. HENSALL REC HOCKEY Team White Black Blue Red W 1.

Women can be kind and loving, while at the same time assertive and able to stand on their own two feet.

For that reason, many girls play with cars and trucks, while boys have Cabbage Well, I wanted to do the right thing. 1 bought Chelsey a little fire engine. it sits idle among her toys most of the time. We gave her a little doll house, but it was a doll house with a garagyy attached and a car in the garage.l'8e garage door is seldom opened, but she plays with the rest of the house. So what are her favourite toys? Her cuddly puppy, her soft little lamb, and her sweet baby doll. She hugs then and wants to share her bottle with them -- truly feminine activities. When Chelsey's all dressed up in a pretty pink dress, she will smooth her skirt arid smile, obviously very pleas- ed with herself. She loves to watch her Mom put on snake -up, and will go through the mo- tions of applying lipstick. When she is finished her dinner, she will grab the dishcloth, if it's within reach, and try to wipe the tray of her highchair clean. in short, she is truly a little lady -- gentle with her dolls, concerned about her looks and wanting to be tidy. And she's only 13 months old. Where did we go wrong? the roans, "We all knew this day was com- ing," said Huronview's past chair- man Marie HickneU.
