Council also indicated it was in favour of the Federation organizing a meeting of all rural municipalities in the county.

Ontario Home Renewal Plan officer Bill Routly reported one loan of $500 completed and progress payment of $4.620 on another. Road supertiindent John Batten reported completion of the road construction program and said the gravel contractor was making good progress. A bylaw for the branch "(7" extension of the Sereda municipal drain was passed and the contract was let to G.W. Clarke Drainage for $7.165. The work is to be completed this fall. A report from drainage engineer C.P. Corbett in- dicated work under con- struction on the Allen requisition drain was adequate to divert water complained about. Council will seek • advice regarding disposition of the 5300 deposit made by William Allen. Council heard annual reports from Ken Duncan of the Upper Thames Valley Conservation Authority and Roy Westcott and William Mungall . of the Ausable- Bayfield Conservation Authority.

At their meeting. Tuesday, members of Hensall council felt they had answers to most of the concerns of the Hay residents who live in the annexed area; -but were also resigned to the fact that the matter will -probably have to go to the Ontario Municipal Board to be resolved. "We have good answers if we can convince them." Reeve Harold Knight suggested, although he quickly added he expected there would have to be an OMB hearing. Council designated Knight. Councillor Paul Neilands and clerk Betty Oke to attend the meet.ing with the eight objectors from Hay Town- ship, while that municipality will be represented by Reeve Jack Tinney, Deputy -Reeve Lloyd Mousseau and clerk Joan Ducharme.

Knight noted that the Hay residents would have much lower hydro rates if they were included in Hensall, which he said has the lowest hydro rates in Ontario. It was explained that the hydro rates for the Hay residents would drop by 34 percent. "They have everything to gain and nothing to lose." suggested Councillor Klaas Van Wieren. One area of dispute has still not been resolved and that is the matter of school bus service It has been indicated that if the area -is annexed, the service will terminate immediately for the Hay students in the area who attend Hensall Public School. although the village will attempt to have the Huron board of education phase out the service rather than terminate it im- mediately. Knight said he hoped the service could be continued until at least the end of the current school year and he will meet with education officials later this month in an effort to gain that con- cession.

Ile pointed -out that one of the problems enepuntered in • sex education classes is that it is more fashionable to give information to students rather than work on at- titudes. 1,ynch said he felt most women were unaware of ill• effects abortions can cause. He said many women regard abortion as convenient and easy. Ile said the Criminal Code made abortion illegal unless it was performed for medical reasons but added that many doctors are interpreting social PeaAot as health reasons. Ile pointed out that the abortionh on Women from Huron county were per- formed in other counties. He said abortion was a touchy subject pointing out that if one was performed in a small h'ospitafin Huron there would be a great deal of "flak". Knight said he was, not looking for any type of confrontation with the Hay residents at the meeting and said he felt the village had a definite yes or no answer to all the objections listed.
