Before closing this week, t cannot write $ to thls column wtthaut mentioning the aitnn+ct irreparable loss to Minton of a talented and creative gentleman and his equally talented and creative lady. Ruth and Gordon Duern are leaving Clinton. While here, both, par- ticula Gordon, have given of their hue and skill toward improving and making the Town a more pleasurable place in which to live, while Ruth has given us The Arbor - a gift shop of distinction. Gordon volunteered and donated his efforts, without reservation, to help the planning of the Town and his worthwhile ideas for many of the merchants culminated in that "proud look" with which we were able to greet our Centennial. The Duerns brought their combined creative talents and ideas to Clinton . - now they are leaving - bur leaving the town better for their presence. They will long be remembered as friends by many with whom they came in contact both in business and socially. For their part they wish to bid us all "au-revoir" and to voice their appreciation for their acceptance into the community and for the hospitality extended to them in many homes. Soon they will be away to the east coast, exact destination unknown, but a little of the Duern creativity will be left behind, woven into the fabric of Clinton life. Many of our readers will join in wishing the best in future years to Ruth and Gordon. ter n+ it last s taken ,r not runt to rescind obligates the county at of all provincially construction at any fur9n Cclunty, Re matter was never resolved at this month"s session, and the recom- mendation from the gxecutive Com- mittee to rescind the bylaw was referred back to them for further discussion. The main argument centred around funds from the county allocated toward Goderich . Alexandra Marine and General Hospital because of the bylaw. When the original plans for the con- struction at AM and G were drawn up in 1970, the addition of emergency facilities was to have cost about $300,000. The county was prepared to pay 25 per cent of $300,000 according to many members of council. However, the addition that is finally underway at AM and G has been provineally approved at more than one million dollars. There is considerable resentment among some members of council that the county is now obligated to pay about $225,000 toward the hospital in Goderich, Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township, also a member of executive committee. said it was the committee's intention to Stanley,.;.

Development plans also call for the construction of tennis courts and a ski area with a_ tq carter -mile run with lifts. Mr. Lehnen said- that while the 400 sites will be owned by the investors, it should still have about 100 sites available for the general public at any one time. The Bayfield area, he said, is a prime area for such a development. "It's the hottest thing in Huron County," he said of the area. "There isn't another area in the county that has as much tourist potential." Ed Harrison 'began duties as chief public health in- spector with the Huron County Health Unit on May 17, succeeding Jim McCaul. Mr. Harrison has worked as a district inspector in the Hamilton -Wentworth and eastern regions of the province. He and his wife Joan will now be residing in Goderich.

NFU wants meeting The National Farmers Union held a meeting at Malton on May 19 to discuss the serious financial crisis facing industrial milk producers in Ontario. Walter Miller, NFU Vice - President, said the meeting decided that the NFU should call on the Ontario Govern- ment to assist producers with an adjustment equal to the federal export levy, which is 51.35 per cwt. The meeting was attended by 75 representatives of NFU locals and districts from across Ontario who agreed the Ontario government has a production through incentive programs. Farmers were led to believe there would be ample market for their increased production, and are • 'how faced with a heavy increased debt load and a cut-back in production. A meeting will be sought with Agriculture Minister Wm. Newman as early as possible because the situation is urgent and farmers are anxious for an early response. Missionary speaks to WMS Taiwan as it is today was the inspiring message of Mrs. Murray Garvin at the Huron Presbyterian Spring Rally held last Thursday in Carmel Presbyterian Church, Hensall. She had been there for the past 14 years with her husband Rev. Murray Garvin and worked with the native people with her main work being teaching Bible study, She has written a book on this theme and it will soon be released from the publisher. In her informative way she took the ladies to Taiwain and told about the people and their habits and told about the work in the cchurches in that country to spread the Gospel. Taiwan has 16 million people with 10 different tribes with mandarin Chinese being the national language used. Fifteen different languages are being used in the schools. Mrs. Garvin was introduced by Miss Hazel McDonald of Goderich and thanked by Mrs. John Thompson of Seaforth. Mrs. Elmer Rivers, president of Huron Presbyterial presided for the meeting and opened the meeting with the poem, Count Your Blessings, followed by prayer. A hymn was sung with Mrs. Blanche Dougall at the piano.

He said when the county pays one-quarter of the bill, it should also have some of the say. Reeve Doug McNeil of Colborne Township, also chairman of Goderich hospital board, said all hospitals should be treated alike. He urged county council to remember that two-thirds of the cost of hospital construction is paid by the province. one-quarter is presently picked up by the county and about eight per cent of the total cost must be raised locally. "If the county cuts back on its portion, it is. only increasing the amount that must be raisedlocally," said McNeil. Reeve Gerry Ginn of Goderich Township said the bylaw should not be rescinded. "What if we rescind the bylaw and Clinton hospital decides to go it alone on a building project," said Reeve Ginn. "It could happen, and we could be asked -to ,pay 50 per cent or more of the costs. What would we do then? We would really be charged with being 'unfair as far as the other hospitals are concerned." "There's nothing to stop the province from approving a four million dollar hospital," said Reeve Bill Elston. "Then they would come along and say, okay boys, you pay one million dollars. Stranger things do happen." " "I really think we should be doing something about this bylaw or we're going to be in trouble," said Elston. Deputy -reeve Bill Morley suggested that the previous bylaw be rescinded and a new bylaw be passed, saying that county council would be responsible for 25 per cent of the approved building costs up to one million dollars. "Then you'd be treating everybody alike," said Morley. "Are we , afraid. next year's council won't have the sense of responsibility to use all the hospitals* alike?" . * John Yewitt of ullett Towns urged n9unelliors to get on wick am. not in favor of rest bylaw," said Reeve Hare Clinton.

County administrator Bill Hanky ssld the county council had been under the impression that the five county hospita4 were planning together where buildin priorities were concerned. When Clinton Hospital was closed, it was apparent that the hospitals weren't worki.n, together. "All this recommendation is saying is,. let's get this house in order," said Manly..

Council also concurred with a motion from the Township of Hope asking the government to update its six-year-old equalized assessment for education taxes, and agreed with a Lengthy resolution from the City of Windsor about revising the Municipal Elections Act.

He was also the. town's building inspector for a number of years. Council also declared June 6 to 12 as "Hire a Student Week", and decided to sell the old town street sweeper to Seaforth for 51,800.
