Supporters and volunteers of the ',Huron Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society learned Monday night that the year 1979 was one of the most successful ever as far as campaign contributions were concerned Unit 'campaign chairman Ross :4tcDaniel told the an- nual meeting at the Pineridge Chalet at Hensatl that an objective of $45.000 was set for the branches in Clinton. Exeter. Goderich. Seaforth and Wingham. be- ing an increase of 12 percent from the previous year. The five branch chairmen and their co-chairmen started their planning early in the year and had their volunteer team of captains and canvassers ready to roll on April 1 with their door to door canvass. By May 7. they were again - the first unit in the South - Western District to exceed their objective. While the canvass of residential. i ur- ban & rural I. industrial. commercial :and special names was rolling up a figure of $47.724.00. special events were being staged by - the branches to add another $18.223.00 to make an im- pressive grand total of $65.- 947.00. The report stressed that the Canadian Cancer Society continues to conduct their successful campaigns each year at a cost of Tess than 10 ceots for each dollar raised. This covers the expense of posters. films. kits and receipts. Retiring president Mrs. -Helen Davies expressed her sincere , appreciation and gratitude to the large group of volunteer canvassers and to the generous people of Huron County- who have made the 1979 campaign for funds the most successful in our history. Special . recognition, was made. of the ('anadian Forresters who contributed some $3.300.00 through the snowmobile rally- Huron County also received from the Forresters an additional amount of $4.658 00 through i� f• 4I .1 • MRS.

MacGregor said later the estimate suggested by council was $70,000 and the cost was under that. "Is the committee unanimous?" Reeve Sim- mons asked in reference to a motion from the committee that they accept the layout and design" and recom- mended that council instruct 'C.W.DeJager to proceed with drawings and specifications in preparation of tendering". MacGregor said the committee members were unanimous and he then made the motion as outlined in the report. However. there was no seconder. Councillor Lossy Fuller recommended the matter be held in abeyance until» a special meeting which was planned for later in the week, but Boyle said it had to be decided at Monday's session. Clerk Liz Bell said it could be deferred. When there was still no seconder for the motion, Councillor Don Cameron commented. "i sit here in awe'". "l'nt surprised the com- mittee could pass the report and not back it up at coun- cil." Boyle lamented. 'Shaw interjected that the situation was not unusual in that the members had received new information i from him F. "It's a new opinion, not new information." Boyle replied. "I hope it's not new in- formation." commented Cameron who had earlier asked council to delay any decision on the police office until all sites had been thoroughly investigated. Mrs. Fuller defended her position by saying council had to answer honestly to the people and the least they could do was consider the new information and delay a decision until the special meeting. "They at least deserve the courtesy of being con- sidered." Jay Campbell added. Simmons, who said the record should show council had turned down a `suggestion for using town property for the new police office and had hired an ar- chitect to design a new building on property bought for 545.000, then presented a motion that the matter be fired hack to the committee until they can come up with a unanimous decision. Cameron seconded the motion and it was carried. "I'm very disappointed," Boyle noted as the debate ended. That wasn't his only disappointment for the night. When tenders were opened for the sale of the site of the former police office destroyed by fire in July. there were only two tenders. the highest being 810.000. it was offered by • John Norris in trust and was .accepted by council. "it's disappointing.. but." Boyle said. He then admitted he didn't know why anyone would pay any more for the property. although council members had earlier suggested the lot should sell for a' minimum' of $15,000. The other bid recejved Monday was $6.000 Puc iidget. Continued from front page At Friday's meeting. Davis advised the Com- missioners that utility people were very concerned about the regulations under the new Safety Art which came into effect on October 1. Ile said employees could refuse to do dangerous work and it was necessary to have two men working on any live apparatus. Davis explained this could even mean the testing of meters and several other jobs which are now handled by only one person. Livingstone said that safety has always been a discretionary thing with the .employer and employee and said he didn't think the bill would really change too much locally. Ile agreed that many aspects of hydro work could be considered as hazardous. but the local safely record indicates the staff have always been doing well in that regard. it was also noted by Davis that the change in holiday time has created some problems. This year. five members, received-anextra week's holgaitime. i r MOM more work with fewer employees," the manager stated. The chairman asked if the manager was suggesting additional staff was required, and Davis replied in the negative although he did say there may have to be consideration given to contracting some hydro work in the future. in other business. the Commission: Decided to make no changes in the current in- surance policies and again turned down a suggestion for a $2.100 policy on the water lower. Took no action on a suggestion by Davis that a local building contractor be given a break on the ex- cessive cost experienced in boring through Huron St. East for two water con- nections. Boyle said the Commission had no reason to subsidize builders who were in business to make a profit and said the added cost would have to be passed on to the new lot owner. Learned that Doug and Tom Prout were not happy with the new rate structure suggested for the rental on the Hicks well. They asked for a rental rate of 8500 per year. The current one is 8100 and „ate Commission has suggested it would he in- creased annually on the same percentage as the cost of living increase. They left the door open to the well property owners to negotiate the matter further.

"We have to give the public ample opportunity to digest it." The Mayor said many peo- ple would think council members were trying to be dictators after they read the bylaw contents. but - Campbell disagreed with that contention. saying it was a matter of council stating areas around which they have some concerns 'Councillor Ted Wright said there have been problems with properties in the past and when council went to different government agen- cies to have the situations corrected. they were always advised the town had -'no -"teeth" to enforce corrective measures. He said the new bylaw. if used properly. af- forded council the opportuni- ty to deal with such situations. "The key word is common sense... Councillor Harold Patterson interjected At ,this point. Campbell presented a motion to have the lengthy bylaw given first and second reading and Sim- mons then said he wanted it read clause -by -clause Considerable debate followed and former mayor Bruce Shaw interjected from the floor there appeared to ho some procedural problems in that there was no seconder for Campbell's motion "You mean to telt me that as- reasonable and sensible people. we're going to read this clause-by-c•lause''' questioned Councillor Don Cameron. leafing through the 12 -page document He suggested Simmons didn't want that any more than any other member However. Simmons remained adamant. pointing out there were many clauses he could not support and proceeded to outline a few He noted that one section dictated that the clearance above any cooking area had to be 30". and pointed out that his own 17 -near -old house didn't measure up to that standard in that he had a clearance of only M.' Simmons also suggested one member of council should be on the property standards committee and not three ratepayers. although it was reported to him that that was the re- quirement under the law. The Reeve also wanted some means of appeal for property owners back to council. The last point made by the Reeve was that the bylaw required bathroom floors to be covered with a water- proof repelent covering he said this would eliminate the use of carpets In light light of the Reeve's arguments. Campbell said a public meeting on the bylaw was in order and he suggested it be planned as soon as possible -That's another 81.500 Stephen kids take jaunt to Hayter's By LYNN FARQUHAR Disco dance lessons have started on Tuesday evenings here in Huron Park The classes run from 7:30 - 8:30 p.m. at the JAD ,McCurdy School gymnasium and cost 810 per person for 10 weeks of lessons. • We ask that all par- ticipants in the program br- ing running shoes or dance in stocking feet as no hard sol- ed shoes will be allowed on the gym floor. 11 interested in disco please call the Resource Centre at 228-6302.

Dear Sir i just wanted you to know I really enjoyed the 'Cooking For Fun' supplement in the TA last week 1 have already tried a few of the recipes and found them mouth- watering good I hope there is another one before tog long. Sincerely Mrs Milton Pollock down the drain.- Simmons commented. Clerk Bell suggested the bylaw contents should be cir- cilated to the ratepayers, saying it was unfair to have a public meeting first ad- vising people of what was in the bylaw. This prompted another debate on how quickly such a meeting could be called and whether the bylaw had to be circulated. Wright then presented a motion to have the clerk get a ruling on the matter and that was approved. as was his second motion that a special meeting of c'ounc'il be called as soon as the infor- mation was received B1A chairman Bob Swart: roan advised council he Was concerned about the delays in getting the bylaw ap• - proved as it is a requirement for the BiA to get a $150.000 loan for downtown restora- tion.
