KELLER Part of a planning board report to Huron County Council Friday morning in Goderich was tied to one clause in the board of health report, and initiated some discussion among county coun- cillors who were a little dubious about a planning board recommendation to the board of health that Lot Size Standards as outlined in an amendment to the Official Plan of the County of Huron Planning Area be adopted as firm policy. There was subsequently a suggestion by Dr. Frank Mills, medical officer of health for Huron, that the future might hold some kind of a "central agency" to issue building permits. Members of the land division com- mittee, the health unit board and the planning board held a joint meeting earlier to discuss problems that arise over lot sizes when,there are requests for severances and building permits. The lot size standards as outlined in amendment No. 9 of the official plan are: rural residential, 11,250 minimum square footage for a standard sub- surface septic tank system and 20,000 minimum square footage for a raised septic tank system; seasonal residen- tial, 15,000 sq. ft. and 20,000 sq. ft.; hamlets, 15,000 sq. ft. and 20,000 sq. ft.; and villages, 8,500 sq. ft. and 17,000 sq. ft. The minimum width for any lot is 75 ft. County council accepted a recom- mendation by the health board to make these lot size standards poliby across the county. However it was pointed out by Dr. Mills that there are existing building lots which are under the standard sizes and the county will "have to live with them as best we can". Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn Jubilees are top preserving peach Preserving fresh peaches for next winter is a delicious idea, and one of the best varieties to use is Golden Jubilee. Although this variety has not been readily available on the fresh market in previous years, there is, an abundance this year. Food specialists at - the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, say Golden Jubilee is an excellent choice for preserving, whether you're home can- ning, freezing, or making jam. Golden Jubilee is true to its name and has a beautiful golden color. It does not have a red blush like many other varieties. When choosing Golden Jubilee peaches, check the background color and the stem end. A ripe peach will be a golden color with no green at the stem end. It will yield to gentle pressure when held in the palm of your hand. Don't pinch peaches with your fingers as this causes bruising. Golden Jubilee is ideal for preserving -because it is easy to° peel, and the fruit comes , away from the pit readily. It questioned the wisdom of issuing building permits for holding tanks in- stead of proper septic tanks. He said in his municipality recently, one property owner had pumped a holding tank onto the ground. "We don't like this kind of thing in Goderich Township and I don't suppose they would like it anywhere else either," said Ginn. "Surely we must get more control somehow." Mills said the health unit discourages the installation of holding tanks, but admitted that in some cases and under Certain conditions, holding tanks are allowed. "If they are approved by the county health unit, there's not much we can do about withholding the building permit," complained Ginn. Dr. Mills advised Ginn that sometimes it works the other way around - with the municipality issuing the building permit and the county health unit having little choice but to issue a permit for a septic •tank system. "Maybe what we're talking about here," observed Dr. Mills, "is a central agency to give out building permits in the future." Tuckersmith Reeve Irwin Sillery said that in Brucefield there is a lot with an 85 foot frontage, but the owner cannot install a new septic system because the well on the adjacent property is on the property line and the health regulations require that a septic tank be at least 100 feet away from a well. He said that Brucefield does have a municipal water supply system, but there is no way to force a property owner to hook into that supply. Dr. Mills conceded that in a case like that, the owner of the well could, under present regulations, hold up building on the next lot indefinitely. Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson sail in his municipality, some lots are under the required standard sized lot. He was told that there will certainly have to be ex- ceptions to the rule for some of those lots now in existence but that in the future, the size for building lots witl become standard across Huron County. CAS offers help to families with hard to manage children Help is now on the way through The Family -and Children's Services of Huron County for families with children who tantrum frequently, are hyperactive, disobedient, sad, withdrawn, lazy, delinquent or for any other reason are hard for the parents to manage. Effective today, the Children's Aid Society has changed its name to The Family and Children's Services of Huron County. The reason for the name change, says CAS director John V. Penn, is because the agency has slowly changed its primary focus of work. The agency has served children and families for over 65 years. At one time the agency was mainly concerned with providing shelter for unwanted and deprived children. Now. says Penn, the agency will stress helping, strengthening and assisting families in their task of raising children in this modern world. Many parents, he feels, encounter difficulties in the task of raising children in a rapidly changing world and parents have few places to turn for confidential and professional advice. has a very good flavorand a fine texture. Golden Jubilee peaches are expected to arrive on the market about mid-August. There will be good supplies at roadside markets, in- dependent fruit stores, and at pick -your -own farms.

Says the division's report to the 27th general council: "The 1976 receipts to the mission and service fund increased by $1.04 million over 1975, and for thiswe are grateful. Don Masterson, 33, of Blackstock, Ontario, was elected the 57th National President of the Association of Kinsmen Clubs during the organization's Annual Convention held in Toronto recently. He succeeds Wayne Boddy of Woodstock as the chief executive for the organization of almost 17,000 'members in 600 Canadian communities.

The result of this shortfall was a small deficit of $78,000. "The deficit would have been greater had there not been restraint in the spending area to the extent that total expenditures weie $213,000 less than the total amounts authorized." Then comes the "bad news": "For 1977, to cover in full the guaranteed expenditures from the mission and service fund will require an increase in receipts of $1.5 million, To cover the guaranteed, ex- penditures for 1938 will require a further increase of $1.3 million. "Are we justified in planning expenditures requiring an increase in receipts to the mission and service fund of $2.8 million within the two-year period 1977 and 1978?... "The expanded budgets are needed just to maintain the mission. Inflationary forces are such that the guaranteed budget amounts do not really represent any net advance in work undertaken. "The objectives established are well within the church's financial ability. Our potential is so far above our achievements that lower amounts would not be worthy objectives." tiara Hope, Blanche Pat- terson, Edna Werner visited May Beer; and Graham and Marjorie Arthur visited Sarah Arthur.
