T A photo Councillors not dog owners Works head to catch dogs Hensall council members aren't dog owners them- selves, which might explain why they aren't very sym- pathetic to dogs reported running on the loose in the village. At Mondays council meeting, members passed a resolution making works superintendent Bill McLaren the villages animal control officer until the end of December. Mr. Kaaren told council he had already picked up two dogs on Friday and taken them to the animal clinic in Zurich. Council members reported a group of five dogs had been spotted running loose in the village last week. Clerk Betty Oke said if the dogs are taken to the Zurich clinic and their owners forced to pay a fine to retrieve them, then "they'll realize you (Mr. McLaren) really mean business." Mr. McLaren said he would act as animal control officer in addition to his other duties 'as long' as you fellows pay for the rabies shots." Council also asked the works superintendent to .continue • to investigate prices for litter containers to be placed on King Street and in front of the Hensall pdsr office. Councillor Klaus Van Wieren suggested perhaps 45 gallon drums, weighted with cement in the bottom, could - be used as a temporary solution to control litter on the main street. The works superintendent also questioned his responsibility in responding to complaints about burning refuse, when flames seemed to be reaching a dangerous height. Reeve Harold Knight said there had been "several heated discussion" in the past over instituting a burning bylaw in the village, but council didn't want to enact a bylaw that would prevent everyone from burning leaves or garbage, due to a few offenders. Council suggested. that Mr. McLaren speak to the of- fenders personally if the dangerous refuse -burning continued. Paul Neilands, of the Hensall Parks Board Committee, reported to fellow council members that Jack McLachlan. clerk of Tuckersmith, presented the board with a $1.000 grant toward the operation of the Hensall Community Centre. This is the first grant Tuckersmith has made to the arena operation. Letters from Hay and Stanley Townships indicated they would both be giving consideration toward arena funding in 1980. Mr. Neilands said Stanley Township would likely forward a smaller donation, since only about five . per cent of tt.eir ratepayers use the Hensall arena. Mr. Neilands also in-,' formed council the rental rate for wedding receptions and social functions held on the ice surface area will • be increased to $200 per day. effective September 6, 1979.- - The rental fee-, for the auditorium is $150 per day. Discussion on a New Years Eve dance, to be held to raise money for the arena fund. was deferred until the October meeting of the parks board. Although council deferred a derision on the matter until Bylaw enforcement Council also discussed employing a bylaw 'en- forcement officer to control problems like overnight parking on the village streets or unlawful parking: their next meeting, they did give Mr. McLaren per- mission to erect signs at the village entrances saying parking was prohibited on the village streets between the hours of 2a.m. and 6 a.m. Council members said they want the bylaw en- forcement problem solved before winter since cars left ri,n a•iltage streets in- terfere with snow removal. Huron county board of education notified Hensall council that the board declined to change the status of the Hensall Public School property. During the sum- mer. concerned about overgrown weeds on the school property, council had written to the board offering to buy some of the property if the school wasn't using it. Tornado assistance The numerous farm groups found in Middlesex County have decided to pool their resources in order to better assistance to the disaster area near Wood- ock. A general meeting for all farmers in the county will be • held at Coldstream Hall on, Thursday September 20 at . 8:30 p.m. • - A representative from the - stricken area will be at the meeting to explain exactly what can be done to help. Council members also decided to reject appeals for financial assistance from two areas hit by disasters earlier this year. The city of Nepean in northern Ontario appealed for a donation to assist in recovering from flood damage to the city. The Woodstock and area disaster committee also sent a letter to council appealing for financial assistance in recovering from the recent tornado. Reeve Knight said council members will soon have to establish a policy on disaster relief appeals. Referring to the Wood- stock appeal. he said, "it's an emotional thing", par- ticularly when the disaster struck so close to home. However, council decided to leave it up to individual ratepayers of the mun- ciipality to make donations to the relief funds as they saw fit. A Hensall bank is accepting donations for the tornado relief fund. Councillor Paul Neilands said, "We must balance the budget as well as we can:" Cbuncil also approved a. recommendation to ask the PUC to install three streetlights in the ats parking lot and that streetlights be relocated at the corners of Wellington and Richmond and Wellington and Mill Street.

The committee will meet early next month to cope with the problems arising from the gradual decline in the number of students. The decrease in the numbl;r enrolled in the 19 schools in the system this September is 63 or 2.3 per cent. There are 2,642 pupils. Since 1974 there has been an accumulated decrease of 19.1 per cent. St. Boniface School Zurich showed the largest decrease with 18 fewer pupils while at St. Joseph's School, Clinton, there was an increase of 10 pupils. The board extended the. leave of absence for the janitor at the Clinton school, Edward Florian. to Monday, September 17 because of illness. The board decided not to endorse a resolution from the Leeds and Grenville County board of education requesting support for a petition to the provincial government to include driver education in the regular secondary school curriculum and to allocate funds accordingly. The board also decided not to ask the ministry of education to put more money into secondary schools for driver education as it would mean less money for elementary schools. As well, it was said with no secondary schools in the system in Huron and Perth, that it was not a particular problem in this area. Several trustees, who felt "It's our children involved, whether in separate or public schools" were out voted. It was announced that a professional activity day will be held on Friday, Sep- tember 14 at St. Patrick's School, Dublin and St. Columban School for al principals and staffs through teacher workshops. Primary teachers will be involved with language arts and family life, while junior teachers will have language arts and Physical Education and the intermediate teachers, family life and geography. The work of secretary for the board meetings will be taken over by Carol Camp- bell or Winthrop replacing Bev Smith of Walton who has moved to Stratford.
