Mayor Don Symons reported that the
police are keening a record for a month
to see how many accidents and charges
occur at the Mary and Orange Streets.
intersection.
There was a request at the last Council
meeting to make that intersection a four-
way stop.
At the next council meeting the report,
will be given.
When a letter from the Huron County
Health Unit saying there would be no
change in the system of sewage disposal
atBlyth Public School,was tabled at
Board of Education meeting on Monday,
Blyth trustee R.J. Elliott immediately
moved that the Board demand an ex-
planation.
The letter in question noted: "The
Board of Health is recommending no
change in the present arrangement for
the disposal of effluent at the Blyth
Public School until the municipal sewer
system has been installed and is
operational. This decision is based on
past experience with the Blyth School
System and supported by the District
Director of the Ministry of the
Environment."
The Board of Education has been
pgyaOg to have the holding 'tank of the
present sewage system pumped every
other day during the school year for the
past three years since the Health Unit
ordered the weeping bed .portion of tete
LI...
system sealed and taken out of service.
After that happened the Board of
Education commissioned an engineering
study by the firm of Kyles, Kyles and
Garret of Stratford. That produceda
report which recommended ' a modified
system which could cope with the
schools sewage in connection with a
close monitoring system.
That- study was first presented to the
County Board of Health more than two
years ago, and was reintroduced last
August. The letter informing the Board
of no change in. the Health Unit's stance
was the 'result of that August meeting.
The letter offered no explanation for the'
decision, and it was that factwhich
prompted Mr. Elliott's motion.
"They (the Health Unit)ar+e depriving
people from -using the facilities of Blyth
Public . School in the summer months,"
he said, explaining that under board
policy the public has use of all schools so
long as they meet the basic expenses
involved. This usually means a few
dollars for a custodian but in the case of
the -Blyth School it means the septic tank
must be pumped as well.
Mr. Elliott said this would result in
greater hardship as the village of Blyth
is preparing to celebrate its centennial
next year and will need the use of
facilities such as the school offers.
"What are Dr. Mills' reasons?" he
asked, referring to Medical Officer of
Health for Huron Dr. Frank Mills.
He said that when the Board had
presented the engineer'splans for a
modified system at the August meeting,
the members of the Board of Health had
indicated they were in . agreement with
the proposed solution. Dr. Mills however
"reserved his opinion for the com-
mittee" according to Mr. Elliott.
"What did Dr. Mills tell the Board of
Health afterwards?" he asked.
The motion passed on Monday calls on
the Board of Health to provide a written
report on its decision with an ex-
planation.

Expand camp at Kintail
At its meeting last week in
Listowel the Hamilton and
London Synod of the
Presbyterian Church ap-
proved a plan for im-
provements and expansion at
Camp Kintail (on Lake Huron
about 20 miles north of
Goderich) but turned the
problem of raising about
$243,000 to pay for the project
back to the camp committee.
Cirs'truction will be
allowed to start when 65
percent of that sum has been
raised.
Rev. Ed Dowdles, chair-
man of the site development
committee, said he was
disappointed the synod
wouldn't approve an
assessment of the 50,000
Presbyterians in its eight
presbyteries. That would
have started the project by
next year, he felt, and now' it
has been delayed for another
year.
Original plans called for
several buildinpc in five
phases at a cost of about
$300,000. Changes approved
by the synod incorporated,
everything including a new
dining room, kitchen. chapel.
library, health station and
office into a single building
for $2413,000.
According to Rev. Dowdles
the project will extend
Kintail's camping season and
increase its use as a retreat
and marriage enrichment
centre as well as a camp.
At the moment, the com-
mittee has $50,000 in hand
from the sale of Camp
Goforth at Dunnville and
$14,000 raised in the past
year. It had hoped the synod
would levy the 5179,000 dif-
ference.
Some members doubted the
synod had the authority to
order the presbyteries to
raise the money. others felt
alternative, methods of fund
raising had not been suf-
ficiently explored.
