Through the other weeklies
It's that time of year when
salaries are negotiated for
the municipal employees and
in Listowel recently, the
town's police force approved
their 1977 contract.
The Listowel Banner
reported that the members of
the force received an average
wage increase of $751.20. The
breakdown of salaries is as
follows, according to The
Banner, with the 1976 figures
in brackets: sergeant, $16,308
015,400); first class con-
stable, $15,336 ($14,500) ;
second class constable,
$13,500 012,800); third class
constable, $12,096 ($11,400) :
fourth class constable, $11,016
($10,400).
The Huron Expositor
reported that Seaforth
council members will be
meeting with a Fort Erie
developer to hear plans for a
proposed 60 unit geared -to -
income housing subdivision.
The subdivision will be
located in the south-west area
of Seaforth on a 10 -acre
parcel of land presently
owned, by the town. It will
include 60 units of single
family and semi-detached
homes.
The Blyth Standard
reported that the village is
looking for a dentist.
The discussion of having a
dentist in Blyth was brought
up by the local Board of
Trade at a recent meeting.
The board decided to appoint
a committee to look into the
matter of atrracting a dentist
to take up practice in the
village.
The Zurich council has
backed a letter from the St.
Joseph's Catholic Women's
League, asking for the con-
demnation of certain novels
from the English courses of
Huron high schools, because
of their, what was called,
pornographic contents.
The Zurich Citizens News
noted that Reeve Fred
Haberer said, "There's gotta
be something else in school to
study other than that."
Claude Gelinas added,
"They've got oddballs in the
education system, just as
anywhere else...If there is not
protest from any direction,
what's next."
The Kincardine News
reported that some residents
in Huron Township, Grey
County are concerned that an
asphalt plant is being built
behind a subdivision.
A group •of residents at-
tending Huron council noted
that when theielhouses were
bought the owners were
under the impression that the
gravel pit was dormant and ,
there was no mention of the
asphalt plant. They also
presented a petition of 136
names opposing the erection
and operation of the plant. It
was noted in the petition that
with the plant, there would be
increased traffic along the
KinHuron Road, which would
cause a hazard for children,
pets as well as adults since
there are no sidewalks or
specific crossings.
Presently there are no
zoning bylaws in the town-
ship, but council noted that a
zoning bylaw for the secon-
dary plan will be prepared.
There are no zoning
restrictions on the asphalt
plant land because the official
plan has not been approved
by the ministry of housing.
The Exeter Times
Advocate reported that a first
occurred in council when an
Exeter homeowner was
charged with failing teelfbok
into the existing sanitary
sewer system.
The T -A explained that
council members have
threatened for more than a
year to bring charges ag'ainst
people who contravene the
bylaw which requires them to
Hensall favours open housing
Senior citizens should be
able to move into any housing
complex within the county
that has vacancies, Hensall
council decided last week.
Council expressed this
opinion in response to a letter
from County council asking
for their position.
County -wide residency for
senior citizens' housing would
allow senior citizens to move
to housing wherever it is
available, said reeve Harold
Knight. At present there are
municipalities with vacant
senior citizens apartments
because only residents of that
municipality are allowed to
move in, he said.
"They should be available
to anyone in the county.
They're funded by the
province and federal
government," he said.
Knight said supporting
county -wide residency would
not mean they would be
forcing senior citizens to
move to municipalities where
they did not want to go.
"Itwill just give people the
option of ifoing there if there
rVir-
is a vacancy," he said.
The motion, which still has
to be approved at the county
level, was passed
unanimously.
In other business, council
passed a bylaw to allow
village to borrow up to:
$235,000 to meet current
expenditures until the taxes
are collected. Councillor Paul
Neilands said the village may
not have to borrow any of the
money if several grants that
are expected come in.
Council was informed the
county apportion.m ent of
taxes for Hensall would be
$54,285, amounting to a little
over two percent of the
county budget. Last year
Hensall paid $48,376.
The building inspector's
report showed one building
permit had been issued. The
permit, for the value of
$87,846 is for the new fire hall
in Hensall.
Bill Baker was hired by
council to brick in the two
doorways at the west side of
the townhall.
hook into the system. Up until
now, those warnings have
never been backed up with
action.
The construction of a new
police station in Goderich
may be the top priority for the
town council in 1979, the
Goderich Signal Star
reported.
The police commission
passed a motion recently, the
Signal Star added, to give
approval in principle to a
draft plan for a new station.
The proposal for the new
station came about after the
present police office on West
Street was inspected and
some of the conditions in the
70 -year-old building were
condemned.
In planning for Wingham's
100th birthday next summer,
the Wingham Advance Times
told its readers that the
names and addresses of
former Winghamites are
being sought.
The first week of August
has been set aside for
homecoming and the in-
vitations committee wants to
bring as many former
residents as possible back for
the celebration.
The Advance Times noted
that the names and addresses
of anyone formerly
associated with the town
should be forwarded to Ruth
Currie of the invitations
committee, Box 360,
Wingham.
The St. Marys Journal
Argus reported that two
firearm charges against the
town's police chief, Edward
Matheson, were dismissed in
Stratford provincial. court
after Judge G.H. McConnel
stated that evidence was not
sufficient "to establish guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt."
Chief Matheson was
charged with pointing a
firearm and possession of a
dangerous weapon following
an incident involving the
chief's daughter and another
girl.
Its the time of year for
spring proms and high school
queens and ir, the Mitchell

The Lucknow Sentinel
reported the less than
pleasant news last week, that
the familiar St. Augustine
store is going out of business.
The store owners, Glenn
and Margaret McConnell,
have found that their business
is too small to encourage
delivery from wholesalers
"nand distributors.
For instance, the dairy
wants the McConnell's to
drive to Goderich and pick up
the store's order .of milk and
McCormick's decided not to
make a delivery unless there
was an order of $150.
According to the McConnells
such an order would last
almost a year in the store.

Brownies attend camp
On April 21, 23 brownies
from Clinton travelled to
Camp Kirkton for a weekend
camp. Mrs. Joyce Irwin was
the leader in charge and she
was assisted by Mrs. Pat
Thomas, Mrs. Meryl Thomas
and by Junior Leaders Hane
Coventry and Constance
King.
The Brownies arrived at
5:30 p.m. and were kept busy
getting their gear in order.
After everyone was settled,
the junior leaders took the
girls to the park for some
outdoor activities while the
adults prepared an evening
snack.
By 9:30 p.m. the Brownies
were snuggled into their
sleeping bags but it was quite,
awhile before they settled for
the night!
The theme for this year's
camp was "Indians of South
Western Ontario" and the
girls were divided into foru
groups, the warriorc braves,
chiefs and runners. In
keeping with the theme, the
girls worked on their native
lore badge. Each group
helped build an Indian village
along with making Indian
shields and drums. On
Saturday everyone was busy
with these crafts as well as
working on the athletes
badge.
The girls also followed a
trail laid by Jane and Con-
stance to the park where they
had a game of soccer -
baseball. After a campfire
Saturday evening, they all
went to bed and were sound
asleep in no time.
Sunday saw the completion
of the athletes badge and
after a short Brownies Own
Service, the girls packed
their gear and prepared for
the trip home. By 2:30 p.m.
all the girls were homeward
bound and camp was over for
yet another year.

Separate principals use " bard"
School principals in the
Huron -Perth County Roman
Catholic Separate School
system are being encouraged
by William Eckert, director
of education, to continue
having resource people from
the Stratford Shakespearean
Festival staff come into the
schools this year as they have
in the past.
Mr. Eckert, reporting to the
trustees at a board meeting in
Dublin, Monday said he had
spoken to the principals
following a presentation from
Festival representatives last
month when the use of the
resource people was offered.
Mr. Eckert pointed out that
besides resource people from
the Festival staff the prin-
cipals informed him they use
many other resource people
during the year such as ar-
tists, puppeteers, cadets,
exchange students from other
countries, librarians, firemen
and police on safety
programs to name a few.
The board renewed its
contract with the Simplex
Time Equipment Company of
London from March 1, 1978 to
March 1. 1979 for $1,296, an
increase of $216 or 20 per cent
over last year for main-
tenance for the fire alarm
systems in the schools, the
clocks, score boards
The board endorsed a
resolution from the Nor-
thumberland and Newcastle
Board of Education opposing
the proposal of the 28 per cent
rate increase by Bell
Telephone in July.
The board will offer a
pension plan to non-academic
personnel working more than
24 hours per week in the
schools, effective July 1, in
accordance with the Ontario
